Chi Enen sat on the sofa waiting, and after about 20 minutes, there was still no sign of anyone coming down from upstairs, which made her a bit uneasy and she glanced at her watch with a sense of unease.
The villaâs living room was extremely quiet, the servants were all busy with their own tasks, and the butler stood straight behind her position, not a single person spoke.
âThatâ¦â Chi Enen was really getting impatient, wanting to ask if she could go upstairs herself.
As soon as she began to speak, the butler immediately came before her and bowed with perfect etiquette, âDoes Miss Chi have any instructions?â
His interruption left Chi Enen momentarily forgetting what she wanted to ask.
At this time.
Footsteps suddenly came from upstairs.
He finally came out!
Chi Enen breathed a sigh of relief and looked up, indeed seeing the arrogant man emerging at the top of the spiral staircase. Apart from not holding Nuonuo, he looked no different than when he arrived, but he seemed to have a graver complexion.
He walked down the staircase, reached Chi Enen, and without waiting for her to ask, spoke reluctantly, âChi Enen, we might have to stay here tonight.â
Tonight?
Stay here?!
Chi Enen, startled, furrowed her brows and asked him, âWhy?â
The thought alone made Li Beijue annoyed!
The last thing he wanted was for Chi Enen to stay, but now they had to stay because Nuonuo needed to be here.
âNuonuoâs fever hasnât subsided, and itâs also too late now; after her fever goes down, sheâll need rest. Likewise, you need rest too.â
âButâ¦â
âThereâs no âbut,â itâs settled!â Li Beijue, afraid that she would keep objecting and unwilling to stay any longer here, was ready to take her away immediately!
His noble falcon-like eyes landed on the butler, naturally displaying a commanding aura, âWhereâs the guest room?â
âGuest room?â The butler thought for a moment, then quickly led the way to the front, âPlease follow me.â
Li Beijue didnât give Chi Enen a chance to speak, grabbing her and following the butlerâs steps.
The villaâs guest room was on the first floor, the one in the very middle. The room was about 30 square meters, with its own bathroom, and the 2-meter big bed looked neat and clean, exuding a comfortable feeling.
Li Beijue frowned, his gaze sweeping over the brand-new sheets and quilt, just about to ask for a new set to be put on.
Then he suddenly remembered this was not a hotel, nor Zijing Garden, but Xi Zelieâs villa. His thin lips formed a straight line, and he asked the butler to step out first.
Once the butler stepped out, he immediately closed the door.
That impatience felt as if there were some floods and ferocious beasts outside.
Chi Enen, worried about Li Yinuo, said, âNuonuoâs fever hasnât gone down? Is she upstairs? Let me go take a look.â
No sooner had she spoken than her wrist was grasped, and the manâs chilly voice came through, âDonât bother, Xi Zelie is upstairs, heâll take care of it!â
The terms they were to discuss had already been settled; that man would definitely take good care of Nuonuo.
And, more importantly! With that man upstairs, how could he possibly allow Chi Enen to go up?!
Chi Enen was unable to break free from his grip, and finally unable to bear it, she stepped in front of him, looked him straight in the eyes, and with furrowed brows asked, âLi Beijue, what exactly is going on? Werenât we supposed to return to Rainy City? Why did we suddenly come back? And why are we here, what did you and Xi Zelie discuss?â
âYou donât need to know,â he turned his head away, unwilling to answer.
Yet Chi Enen insisted again, looking into his eyes, âBut I want to know!â
