The airplane came to a halt after 8 hours.
Li Beijue, with an expressionless face, was the first to disembark.
Chi Enen, holding the still asleep Li Yinuo, followed behind and instantly sensed something was amiss as soon as she got off the airplane.
This wasnât Rainy Cityâs Airport.
How come it looks so much like the airport in T country?
She was somewhat dazed and unable to fathom it. How could they still be in T country after such a long flight?
The strange voice of Lin Anxin from behind her had already reached her, âEh, isnât this T country?â
âHow did we end up back in T country?â
Chi Enen scanned the familiar airport, stupefied and struggling to come to termsâwas this really T country?
A line of luxury cars for the pickup had already driven over. Huo Yi opened the car door, âMiss Chi, please get in the car.â
âWhere are we going?â
Huo Yi respectfully responded, âMiss Chi and Master Jue are heading to a place, while the Little Young Master and Miss Lin will be going to the hotel.â
âTo a place? Which place?â
Having boarded the plane in the morning, it was already evening when they disembarked. She had thought that getting off the plane would bring her back to Rainy City but now realized they had circled back. It was so late; where was Li Beijue planning to take her?
Huo Yi stole glances at the man who had already gotten into the car, hesitated, and then replied, âYou will know once we get there, Miss Chi. Iâm not quite sure myself at the moment.â
âMiss Chi, please get in the car.â
Chi Enen, not knowing what kind of scheme they were playing, furrowed her brow and got into the car with the still-asleep little girl.
The car door was closed with a thud.
The driver immediately turned the car around and drove offâ¦
All the way, Chi Enen sought an opportunity to ask him where they were going. But from beginning to end, Li Beijue was in a low-pressure mood, his aura cold and astounding, indicating his bad temper. Not only that, but he was also constantly looking down, his gaze firmly fixed on the contract in his hands, his demeanor serious.
Seeing him so busy, Chi Enen did not want to disturb him, so she could only turn her head to look outside the car window.
Street lamps outside the window kept sweeping past. It was late at night, and she couldnât determine where they were headed.
Finally.
The car stopped.
The driver helped them to open the car door.
âMaster Jue, weâve arrived.â
âMhm.â
The man, who had been stern-faced throughout the ride, finally put away the contract, got out of the car, and stretched out his hand to her, âChi Enen, come down.â
Chi Enen carefully held the little girl in her arms as she disembarked, afraid of waking her. She moved gingerly, but perhaps her movements were still too big, for the little girl sleeping soundly in her arms suddenly frowned, her small mouth pouting in discontent.
She stiffened, not daring to move an inch.
But it was already too late. The little girl, who puckered her small mouth, had already opened her somewhat swollen, teary eyes, misty and looking at her with a nasally voice, calling out, âCatâ¦â
Unlike other little girls, who would cry when they just woke up, she made a soft noise after waking, rubbed her eyes with her small hand, looking incredibly cute.
She then seemed to become fully awake, turning her little head left and right as if looking for someone. When she realized the person she was seeking wasnât there, her large eyes filled with anxiety. Turning back to look at Chi Enen, she seemed almost ready to sob, âCat⦠Uncleâ¦â
Chi Enenâs heart hung in her throat, fearing she might cry again.
Right at this moment, Li Beijue suddenly said, âHand her over to me.â
