Chapter 295: All the Misunderstandings Were Cleared Up
â`
Three minutes later, Chi Enen returned the thermometer to him.
Si Chen looked at it and said, â38.1 degrees. Sheâs running a slight fever. Iâll give her an IV drip later; let someone make some porridge for her. She should eat something before taking medication.â
âI got it.â
Li Beijue went downstairs to give the instructions.
In the upstairs bedroom, only Chi Enen and Si Chen remained. Si Chen, while putting away the thermometer, suddenly said, âEnen, I want to ask you something.â
âHmm?â Chi Enen was surprised, âWhat is it?â
âDid you have a quarrel with Beijue before?â
ââ¦â Chi Enen did not make a sound.
Yesterday wasnât exactly a quarrel, it was just Li Beijue giving her the silent treatment.
Si Chen thought she had admitted it and frowned disapprovingly, âI know Beijue has a bad temper, and you might have to put up with some difficulties in dealing with him. But I hope you understand him; he really likes you. You know he has paranoia, right? People with this kind of personality flaw often become overbearing and self-absorbed, and they can easily go to extremes.â
âBut you see, apart from confining you before, what has he done thatâs so extreme?â
ââ¦No.â Apart from imprisoning her against her will in Rainy City, Li Beijue really hadnât done anything particularly extreme. If anything, he had been the one to harm himself. Even if his fist struck the railing in the Amusement Park, it never came down on her.
Si Chen, trying to suppress his dissatisfaction, continued, âNothing, right? So, I hope you can understand him. Donât always hold him to the same standards as you would an ordinary person. You may think he doesnât handle some things very well, but try to see it from his perspective. Maybe heâs already doing his best to restrain himself and change.â
If it werenât for Beijueâs efforts to restrain himself, Chi Enen wouldnât have been able to live peacefully in Capital City for so long.
She would have been taken to Country Y the moment she was discovered, completely stripped of her freedom! Nor would he allow her to live alone with the Li Familyâs Third Generation Heir. He also wouldnât have spent every sleepless evening taking medication and listening to her show just to get some shallow sleepâ¦
This man, Li Beijue, was domineering and forceful, but towards those who entered his heart, he was always a hundred percent sincere. So, as a friend, he hoped Chi Enen would be kinder to Li Beijue.
âI understand,â Chi Enenâs flush had faded quite a bit from her face, and she pursed the corners of her mouth, promising, âIâll try to consider things from his perspective more in the future.â
âThank you,â Si Chen let out a sigh of relief, feeling reassured.
In his heart of hearts, he was quite fond of Chi Enen. After all, she was one of the few women who werenât pretentious or greedy. It was just that yesterday he saw his friend suffering so much that he couldnât help feeling dissatisfied with Chi Enen. Now that heâd spoken openly, that dissatisfaction had dissipated.
âOh, Enen. I need to apologize to you.â
âHmm?â
âLast night, Beijue was drinking at my Lan Club, and I took the liberty to open a Presidential Suite for him upstairs. Seeing him in such a bad state, I took the initiative to find a woman for him.â Si Chen found it a bit difficult to continue, awkwardly adding, âBeijue didnât touch her at all; he immediately sent the woman out. But later I asked her, and she said she answered your phone while Beijue was bathing, and deleted the call record. She didnât say anything out of line, did she?â
