Madam Li’s Identity Is Exposed Again!

Chi Enen had been brooding over the matter all day.
Because her heart was preoccupied, she found herself spacing out several times involuntarily.
Li Beijue silently counted the number of times she drifted off. By the fourth time, he couldn’t hold back anymore—his falcon-like eyes burned with fiery anger as he forcefully turned her face toward him.
Chi Enen was suddenly pulled back, stunned for a moment, and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Damn it, she still had the audacity to ask what’s wrong! Li Beijue’s face turned ashen, his falcon-like eyes drilled into hers, as if they were trying to pierce through, “You tell me!”
“Me?” She shook her head blankly. “I don’t know.”
“Of course you don’t know!” Because she had been absent-minded the whole time, constantly zoning out and daydreaming. Even when he was talking to her, she hadn’t listened!
Li Beijue was so angry he could choke her. His handsome face was tense, full of displeasure.
“What do you mean?” Chi Enen still hadn’t realized that it was her frequent dazing off today that sparked his anger, and remained clueless.
Li Beijue really wanted to choke her to death! His heart felt as though it had been silently punched, his chest both stifled and stabbed, an inexplicable frustration clawing at him.
He locked his gaze firmly on the little lady’s eyes in front of him, trying to discern what she was thinking.
But in those large eyes, there was nothing but confusion—just sheer puzzlement! As if he were the one being unreasonable!
Li Beijue furrowed his aristocratic brows irritably, pacing through his thoughts and landing on only one possibility.
His pupil color suddenly turned ice-cold!
His thin lips barely moved as he abruptly said, “Chi Enen, go fetch something for me. It’s in…”
He detailed the specific location and added, “I need it now.”
“What do you need the English-version Finance book for?” Chi Enen asked, feeling puzzled.
Li Beijue had just randomly conjured up a reason to get her out of the room—it wasn’t like there had to be a real reason. Impatiently, he replied, “Can’t I just read it for a change?”
As soon as he finished speaking, he urged again, “Chi Enen, hurry and go fetch it.”
“…” Although Chi Enen felt strange about it, she still got up and went out to find it for him.
Once she was out of sight,
the man on the sofa’s handsome face sank to an extreme level. He picked up the internal line phone in the room and dialed out.
Three minutes later, four women and one man walked into the room. Seeing that apart from Li Beijue, there were also several bodyguards present, each of them turned pale and murmured, “Good day, Master Jue.”
The temperature in the room seemed to drop to freezing point. Even the air carried an overwhelming pressure, forcing everyone to bite down on their lower lips instinctively.
Under the suffocating atmosphere, their faces grew paler and paler.
If Chi Enen hadn’t been sent away, she would certainly have noticed that these people were the very ones—
the servants who escorted her to the kitchen yesterday, and the maid she had overheard gossiping about how she wasn’t good enough for Li Beijue.
Li Beijue’s chiseled face was devoid of expression as his cold gaze swept over the group shrinking their necks before him. From beginning to end, he didn’t say a single word.
But to these people, his silence was even more terrifying than severe scolding.
“Do you know why I called you here?”
“…” The group immediately hung their heads lower, their faces turning even paler, yet none of them dared to answer.
Because they knew full well what they had done.
They just hadn’t expected that Master Jue would actually hold them accountable. Judging by his demeanor, it seemed he was even standing up for that Miss Chi.
The male servant who had led the way regretted it the most. He had heard long ago about Master Jue’s fondness for Miss Chi, but he assumed it was the usual kind of interest wealthy, powerful men showed toward a woman. He never imagined—
Master Jue’s affection for Miss Chi had reached the point where he wouldn’t tolerate her enduring even the slightest grievance!
