Madam Li’s Identity Is Exposed Again!

Chapter 679: Chapter 679: Chi Enen’s Decision
Chi Enen knew Quan Dongting would have this kind of thought for her sake, and although she was touched, she knew exactly what she wanted. She shook her head resolutely and said, “Li Beijue is the one, he treats me very well, protects me thoroughly, and always puts me first. No one could do better than him! And I will only ever like him!”
Quan Dongting saw the determination in her eyes, fell silent for a moment, his tea-colored pupils mature and steady, and finally bracing himself, he spoke out the hurtful truth, “Enen, even if you recognize your ancestors and return to the clan, you would not be the suitable grand-daughter-in-law in Li Beijue’s grandpa’s heart.”
——Even if you recognize your ancestors and return to the clan, you would not be the suitable grand-daughter-in-law in Li Beijue’s grandpa’s heart.
Indeed, these words were hurtful, but Chi Enen had already been through many trials. She bit her lower lip, her face still somewhat pale, but raised a clear smile, her gaze unwavering and not the least bit shaken, “I know, that’s why I need one year, I will do my utmost to become excellent!”
Having just the Habsden bloodline of course wouldn’t match up to Li Beijue in his grandpa’s heart, because without that identity, she knew nothing and understood nothing of the upper society—how could she stand by Li Beijue’s side and hold her own?
She was now two months pregnant. If it was just for the child, she wouldn’t have asked for one year; eight months would have sufficed. But she requested a year because she wanted more time to learn, to grow.
She had been enough of a Chinese trumpet vine clinging to a Condensation tree for growth. Loving someone, she also wanted to become a Condensation tree herself, able to bear the storms with him, to grow up and become strong alongside him.
Instead of constantly clinging to him, relying on him, letting him face all the hardships alone while she could only shrink back helplessly, unable to assist him. And at critical moments, she would become a burden, a weak point others could use to threaten him!
Quan Dongting looked intently at her, his eyes showing emotional stirrings, astonishment, contemplation, and helplessness. After a long while, he let out a sigh, a deep sense of resignation crossing his mature and steady handsome face, “I can agree to your plan, but I have one condition.”
“What is it?”
“Change one year to a year and a half.”
One year was too short, and most importantly, the matters outside weren’t resolved yet—as long as they remained unresolved, she wouldn’t be safe.
It would be better and safest for her to stay with the Habsden family during this time.
As for what happens after a year and a half, whether she could stay with Li Beijue, that would depend on whether that young man from the Li family could withstand the family pressure during this year and a half.
If he really could withstand the family pressure and stay clear of other women, he wasn’t necessarily set on breaking them up.
In some ways, as a man, he quite admired Li Beijue’s abilities.
His disagreement stemmed from his position as an elder; he didn’t want his niece, whom he had finally found, to be looked down upon or bullied by the man’s family.
He couldn’t understand this feeling before, but now he could relate a bit. It was like his daughter, whom he wished to spoil rotten, being scorned and insulted by another family. No one would want their daughter to be wounded again.
“What do you say?”
A year and a half… Chi Enen hesitated. One year was already the limit she thought that man could accept; another six months, and who knew how he would react. But without agreeing, she wouldn’t have the chance to better return to his side. Chi Enen went through a thousand thoughts, her fingertips brushed over her flat abdomen, she took a deep breath and said resolutely, “Okay.”
