Once everyone had left, Li Beijue glanced at him. âYou had someone follow me?â
It wasnât surprising that he had the news photos, but aside from those, he also had candid shots, which was cause for concern.
Baby Chi was brazen, unafraid, and readily admitted it, âYes, I had someone follow you.â
Not only did he admit it, but he also dared to retort, âThe guilty are afraid of ghosts knocking on their door. If you werenât cheating, you wouldnât be afraid of being photographed!â
Li Beijueâs temple throbbed, and he picked up the photos on the conference table, expressionless as he tossed them into the trash can. His eyes, which had grown more authoritative over these two years, turned to the little guy, his tone serious, âSometimes what you see isnât the truth. If you canât even judge that, youâve disappointed me deeply.â
Chi Jingchen pursed his small mouth, feeling wronged, but still puffing up with indignation, he turned his head away, âWell, I just do not have it! Anyway, you donât like me, and I donât like you, so be disappointed!â
Li Beijue truly felt an urge to grab him and give his bottom a good spanking. He took a deep breath, suppressing the impulse as the veins on his forehead bulged, then calmed down. He reached out and, regardless of the resistance, picked him up, âChi Jingchen, considering your behavior today, I am going to reduce your pocket money starting tonight!â
Caught suddenly in firm arms, Baby Chiâs small body stiffened, but his face, which had tensed since he was spoken to, eased somewhat. He muttered quietly, âReduce it then, reduce it. I have my own money anyway.â
âAlso, Iâm going to have Huo Yi keep an eye on you. You are banned from the Internet for the next half-month.â He knew all his little tricks, Li Beijue commanded with an emotionless face, laying down a second order.
Baby Chi felt as if heâd been hit where it hurt most, his small mouth puckering, just about to retort.
But one look from him already bore down, and he added another threat calmly, âIf youâre not satisfied, then choose another option. Let Huo Yi watch you or have a servant monitor you 24 hours a day, every move you make. Make your choice.â
Baby Chi deflated instantly, no longer the proud and spirited figure from before, pathetically hanging his head and speaking in a tiny voice, âI choose the first one.â
Having Uncle Huo watch him was better; he could sneak onto the Internet when Uncle Huo was busy with other things.
If it was someone else, not only would they constantly call him Little Young Master, but they would also be annoyingly noisy. It could drive one insane.
While the two were talking, the mobile phone on the table began to vibrate.
He set Baby Chi down on the sofa, turned, and picked up the phone, after a glance at the incoming call display, he answered and put it to his ear, âSpeak!â
âItâs been two months since weâve seen each other, do you have to be this cold?â
âSpit it out if youâve got something to say, and if youâve got to fart, then let it rip!â
Si Chen resigned himself to the response and concisely put what he wanted to say, âLei Ting is back from overseas. Iâve arranged a welcome party for him tonight at Lan Club, seven oâclock sharp, donât be absent.â
ââ¦â Li Beijue frowned slightly, just about to decline.
The person on the other end of the phone, as if able to see him, quickly added, âDonât say you donât have time, or youâre too busy. Lei Ting has been away for two years, and itâs not easy for him to return. If you say youâre busy, that would be really unsociable! Besides, since you went to Country T for a mission, we havenât seen each other for two months. Even if Lei Ting hadnât returned, itâs time for a get-together.â
