Madam Li’s Identity Is Exposed Again!

The female celebrity didn’t sense the subtle tension in the air, and with a confident, slight smile, she extended the goblet toward Li Beijue. Her big eyes blinked once, and in a soft voice she said, “Young Master Li, let me introduce myself. I’m your fan, I really admire you. My name is Nuolan, my friends call me Nuonuo, and you can call me Nuonuo too.”
The cold-faced man, who had been ignoring her from the beginning, suddenly turned his head to look at her when he heard the name Nuonuo, and his hoarse voice asked, “Nuonuo?”
Unbidden, the image of the little girl he had encountered in the square that afternoon floated into his mind, and he remembered that the girl’s name was also Nuonuo.
Thinking of that little girl brought to mind the sensation of holding her soft, timid body in his arms, and it softened his usually icy demeanor somewhat.
But the more he looked at the bashful woman in front of him, the more displeased he became, the more he felt she was unworthy of the name Nuonuo.
His pupils were as cold as the icebergs of Siberia. Without concealing the disgust on his face, his thin lips touched in a dismissive motion, “Who asked you to come here?”
“Ah?” The female celebrity, who a second ago was high in the cloud, suddenly plunged into a muddy pond. She couldn’t grasp the situation at once, holding the red wine glass, she stammered, looking up, “Li… Li… Young Master Li?”
The cold-faced man grasped her chin, leaned in close as if a devil had emerged from hell, his presence oppressive, “Get lost!”
He let go of her as if he had touched something filthy, his heroic eyebrows furrowing as he scanned the other women in the private room, keeping them at arm’s length with a frosty command, “I’m not interested in your affected act. Don’t bother me; my patience is limited. Whoever bothers me again, I’ll send her a flight ticket to Country T, and I mean what I say!”
Country T was notoriously chaotic and poor, with nothing but coal mines.
The other women, who had been harboring small schemes, instantly deflated.
The woman Li Beijue had first told to get lost turned various shades of red and white, standing there alone, as embarrassed and uncomfortable as if she had been stripped in public.
It was Si Chen who eventually came to her rescue, taking the goblet from her hand. Before she could express her gratitude, he smirked with noble charm, the corner of his eye revealing a dimple, “Go on, then. Show up at the company early tomorrow. Someone from the Economic Affairs Department will discuss the termination with you.”
“Terminate the contract?!”
“For someone who doesn’t even understand the basic rules, do you think I would keep you?” Si Chen’s tone was very gentle, but colder than anyone else’s, “Go on.”
The female celebrity’s face turned completely pale; she wanted to plead her case, but her woman’s intuition told her the best choice was to quietly leave. Otherwise, it would be worse for her.
She set down the wine glass and left in a daze…
The private room returned to its peaceful state.
Bae Chi watched the outcome with a smile, her little face triumphant as she turned to Lin Anxin, “Aunt Anxin, I told you, she was bound to meet disaster.”
“You little clever ghost.” Lin Anxin pinched her cheeks, and the gloom lifted from her pretty face, “Well, there’s nothing fun here. I’ll accompany you to watch Boonie Bears.”
“Yay!”
Since his woman was away from home, he hadn’t been able to find anyone to watch Boonie Bears with. Watching alone was not fun at all, and watching it with Aunt Anxin was the best.
He fished out his iPad from his bag, selected Boonie Bears, picked a random episode, and started watching it with Lin Anxin in a corner.
As they watched, he fell asleep in no time.
