The Old Madam strutted off in a huff, not seeing anyone chasing after her from behind. She got even angrier and suddenly stopped, asking, âWhy doesnât he want to get married?â
The butler, who had been following behind her, reacted quickly, stopping as well, and respectfully answered, âPerhaps Master Gong hasnât met someone he likes yet. Once he meets the right person, he will naturally want to marry.â
The Old Madam brought up this topic, becoming irritated, âBut look at him, does he seem like he is going to meet someone he likes? Has he ever seriously interacted with anyone Iâve arranged for him to meet? Heâs either absent-minded or just brushes it off. Now, he doesnât even bother to pretendâ¦â
âThis⦠Love is about fate, maybe Master Gong and those ladies just arenât meant to be,â the butler advised.
The Old grandma wouldnât listen. She furrowed her brows and pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked up and asked, âYou say⦠he couldnât possibly be into men, could he?â
Master Gong likes men?!
The butler was so startled that he gasped, not daring to continue the conversation.
âThose rumors about him outside might all be fake, perhaps he likes men, and those are just for showâ¦â she mused, then dropped an even bigger bombshell, âMaybe he likes Hass?â
It seemed that only Hass and Dongting spent a lot of time together. Thatâs quite possible.
The butlerâs temple throbbed, and he very confidently told her, âOld Madam, you are overthinking it. I can assure you that Master Gong and Hass donât have the kind of relationship you imagine.â
âBecause Hass has someone he loves already, and is about to get married. So itâs absolutely impossible, Old Madam, youâre thinking too much.â
The Old Madamâs recent speculation was ruthlessly dismissed, and she returned to her initial concern, âThen tell me why he refuses to marry? Heâs over 30 years old, if he doesnât marry, Iâ¦â How could she hold her grandchildren?!
Suddenly, the Old Madam had a flash of inspiration and looked at the butler, âRight, Lielie is still in Country T, right?â
âYes, Young Master Xize is still in Country T.â
If Nuonuo is also there⦠she could try to match Nuonuo and Lielie. They didnât meet last time, so this time⦠she would have to find a way to ensure they meet properly.
â¦
Chi Enen had no idea that she was already being thought of.
These past two days, she had been busy with Nuonuoâs matters â first helping Nuonuo find a doctor, and then dealing with Nuonuoâs dependency on Xi Zelie.
The former was going well; the Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor that Li Beijue had brought from Country W came over. After seeing Nuonuo, he proposed quite a few good ideas.
But dealing with the latter was troublesome. Nuonuo would still fuss about needing to see Xi Zelie if they were apart for too long. However, it was better than at the very beginning when she would cry if she couldnât see Xi Zelie.
While occupied, an unknown number called. Seeing Bae Chi teaching Nuonuo to paint, their laughter filling the air, Chi Enen smiled, slipped out quietly, and answered the phone, âHello.â
âEnen.â
A manâs voice came through.
The smile on Chi Enenâs face instantly froze, her tone indifferent, âWhat is it?â
Why would Chi Jianguo suddenly call her, and what does he want now?
Chi Jianguo actually didnât want to call her either, especially after hearing Chi Enenâs cold voice, feeling increasingly irritable.
He hadnât gotten over his anger from the companyâs acquisition yet and was still fantasizing about Chi Enen apologizing to him.
