Li Beijue hadnât just met her today!
Although Chi Enen said it was nothing, he could still tell that this woman was upset. At least her attitude toward him seemed to have reverted to what it was before.
If it hadnât been for the harmony of strolling through the night market together, Li Beijue might not have thought much of it.
But he had already amicably wandered the night market with Chi Enen, eaten pineapple rice together, haggled together⦠Suddenly returning to the way things were before, he couldnât stand it.
This feeling, it was as if someone who had experienced warmth could not tolerate the cold anymore! Even if that cold was no different from what they had always endured!
His chest felt as if it had been fiercely punched, a surge of fury with nowhere to vent. Yet on the other hand, he couldnât find anything Chi Enen did wrong.
She was indeed obedient and compliant.
He said not to bring up Huo Yi, and she obediently kept her mouth shut, not mentioning it.
As for what she was thinking in her heart, even if he intuitively felt she was isolating him, he couldnât find any evidence to accuse her. He couldnât exactly dissect this womanâs heart to take a look, could he?
And besides, she had said it was nothing, so if he kept asking, it would seem like he cared too much about her. He didnât care about this pretentious woman at all.
Right, not at all!
Li Beijue clenched his fists, veins bulging on the back of his hand.
Just at this time, the elevator âdingedâ as it opened.
He strode ahead with a tense, expressionless face. Chi Enen, pretending not to notice his displeasure, followed closely behind.
The sun had already set, the afterglow of the sunset spilling across the sea level. The brilliant orange tinting the seawater, with the sea and sky sharing the same color, was beautiful enough to captivate anyone.
At the beach, Huo Yi was standing there with several people, seemingly having waited for quite a while. Seeing the two of them come down, he greeted them with a slight smile.
âMaster Jue, Miss Chi, youâve arrived. Everything is ready, please take a lookâ¦â
âTake her to study,â said the handsome yet cold-faced man, still with a tense expression.
Huo Yi stole a glance at him, then lowered his head and respectfully said, âYes.â
Then he turned to Chi Enen with a gentle tone, âMiss Chi, please follow me.â
âOkay.â
After the two walked a certain distance.
Huo Yi suddenly spoke up, âMiss Chi, if I may be so bold to ask, did you have a quarrel with Master Jue?â
âUhâ¦â Chi Enen didnât expect such a sudden question and was momentarily startled.
Seeing her confusion, Huo Yi explained, âIt is very rare for Master Jue to show so much emotion, so I wondered if perhaps you had a quarrel with Miss Chi.â
Li Beijueâs temper, rare to show emotion?
Chi Enen could not agree with that.
With him, thereâs a small shout every three or five days, a big shout every two or four. If anything doesnât go his way, his face immediately darkens. A little more dissatisfaction, and heâll smash whatever he can get his hands on. If this is considered not showing emotion, those who truly donât show emotion might as well just cry.
However, it was true that things were not very pleasant between her and Li Beijue. Chi Enen composed herself, and after some hesitation, said, âWe didnât quarrel, itâs just a difference of opinions.â
âBecause of me?â Huo Yi asked openly.
Now Chi Enen truly did not know how to respond.
Her silence was proof that she had guessed correctly; Huo Yiâs gaze warmed, but he stopped in his tracks. He looked at her somberly and said, âMiss Chi, you canât really blame Master Jue for this; it was indeed wrong of me to leave your side without permission.â
âBut you didnât leave on purposeâ¦â
Huo Yi shook his head and explained, âIâm a soldier as well as Master Jueâs butler. Whether from a military duty or a butlerâs responsibility, following orders should always be the principle. I only thought that Miss Chi might be thirsty, but 1 failed to realize that leaving would put you in danger. It was certainly my fault..â
