Chapter 629: Chapter 629: Chi Enenâs Decision!
Li Beijue had his eyes closed, waiting for her to tell a detective story, but the more he listened, the more he realized that she was not telling a detective story, but Sleeping Beauty!
He suddenly opened his eyes, his voice dark and cold, âAre you telling me a fairy-tale?â
Such a clichéd fairy-tale that even Baby Chi wouldnât listen to, but this woman was actually reading it to him as if it were a bedtime story?
Chi Enen raised her head, giving an embarrassed explanation, âThe one you gave me is in English, and I canât read it. The only other book in the hotel is this one, which is not for Baby Chi.â
Li Beijue took a careful look and saw that the book in her hand was â80 bedtime fairy tales every 5-year-old child must read,â and his face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Seeing his temper about to flare, Chi Enen took the initiative, âAnyway, you just want to hear me talk, what does it matter what I say?â
âI donât want this one, change it!â Li Beijue didnât bother to waste words with her and directly made his request, his handsome face tense.
ââ¦â Chi Enen really didnât know what to switch to, since she couldnât understand pure English, so she simply took out her mobile phone and started to read from the news she had found.
The man who had been glaring at her finally slowly closed his eyes.
â20 oâclock News, Country Yâs oil prices are risingâ¦â
Chi Enen couldnât remember how many news items she had read. Fortunately, she had once been a radio DJ, and reading news was her forte; otherwise, after reading so much news, not only would her throat have been sore, but her head would have felt dizzy too.
The moonlight outside the window hung brightly atop the treetops. After she had read through an entire clientâs web page news, she gradually softened her voice and stole glances at the manâs reaction on the bed with closed eyes.
Moonlight shone on his handsome features, his prominent nose bridge like a sculpture, creating the golden profile of his face, his entire visage so deeply set it seemed unreal, with a somewhat exotic, mixed-race mysteriousness to it.
âDisney Parkâs this time decisionâ¦â Chi Enenâs voice kept getting quieter and quieter.
The person on the bed lay peacefully with his eyes closed, as if he were asleep, without any reaction, not even a frown or opening of his eyes to scold her for being too soft-voiced or slacking off.
She quietly called out, âLi Beijueâ¦â
The response came in the form of the manâs steady breathing.
It was as if he was extremely tired, with his eyes closed in sleep, the pain from his wound troubling him, making the contours of his face tense, faintly exuding discomfort and rigidness.
Chi Enen pursed her lips, sitting quietly beside the bed, looking at his sleeping face and feeling indescribably pained insideâ¦
She clenched the mobile phone in her hand, her clear eyes full of intelligence, not seeming like someone who could be easily fooled.
Li Beijue hadnât said how he got his wounds, but Chi Enen guessed it. With his identity, even though they were currently in Country Y, there werenât many who could injure him, and even fewer who could hurt him so badly. When she pieced together the events before he had left the house, other than Li Beijueâs grandpa whom she had met before, she couldnât think of anyone else.
All his injuries were because of her, right?
He had defied his grandfather for her, which was why he had received such severe punishment, right?
Chi Enen covered her mouth, feeling as though her chest had been punched hard, an overwhelming sense of oppression and discomfort engulfing her.
She sat quietly beside the bed for a while, as if making a decision, and then suddenly stood up, picked up Li Beijueâs phone that had been casually placed aside, and tiptoed out of the bedroom.
She didnât want him to struggle alone any longer. Even if she knew it was unlikely, she still wanted to try and fight for it one more time!
