Chi Enen was helpless, but still insisted on finishing her sentence, "Is your injury feeling better?"
She noticed that Xi Zelieâs face looked a bit pale, even his lips seemed bloodless.
Upon hearing her concerned words, the angelic-looking man curled up the corner of his mouth, revealing a smile that made everything around him fade in comparison, "Iâm fine, donât worry."
Li Beijue pinched Chi Enenâs palm harshly, his falcon-like eyes narrowed to needle-tip size!
Worried?
Did Chi Enen say she was worried?
From start to finish, Chi Enen just asked about his physical condition, which ear heard her worry?
His thin lips pressed tightly into a straight line, his eyes like black obsidian swirling with flames. He took Chi Enenâs hand and subtly shielded her behind himself, stepping forward with a smile that didnât reach his eyes, "Good that youâre fine. We have something to do, so weâll be leaving first."
With that said, he dragged Chi Enen towards the direction where a few people were previously looking for him.
Chi Enenâs wrist was slightly numb from his tugging, especially confused by his ever-changing attitude, "Li Beijue, didnât you just say not to bother with them?"
"That was just now! Didnât you just say they should be looking for me? Since someone is looking for me, ignoring them wouldnât be nice. So I thought it over and decided to pay some attention! Is that a problem?" He was almost gritting his teeth.
Chi Enen, of course, knew why he changed his mind, and she was dumbfounded.
She hardly exchanged words with Xi Zelie, all she said was a common greeting. She owed Xi Zelie such a big favor, itâs impossible to pretend not to know him when they meet, right? After all, according to her principles, she couldnât do such a thing.
As they were speaking, a middle-aged fat man with a young and beautiful female companion came over. He greeted warmly, "Oh, I didnât expect to meet Young Master Li here, itâs truly an honor for me."
His gaze immediately shifted to Chi Enen, "Is this Young Master Liâs girlfriend? So elegant, standing together with Young Master Li, you two completely look like a lovely couple, perfectly matched. Right?"
The pretty female companion beside him was very perceptive, quickly covering her mouth and smiling as she chimed in, "Husband, youâre really good at joking, Young Master Li and Miss Chi are inherently a lovely couple, of course, theyâre well-matched."
She had a pair of lively eyes, and when she smiled there was a small dimple, sweetly extending her hand towards Chi Enen, "Does Miss Chi remember me? Iâm Miko. I had the honor of acting in a drama with you before. I was still worried today about what to do if I donât know anyone at the banquet following my husband. But in the blink of an eye, I ran into Miss Chi, truly too lucky."
Chi Enen smiled and reached out to shake her hand, neither appearing too intimate nor too distant, "Hello."
Miko?
She quickly searched her memory for this name, and indeed remembered someone - before she re-encountered Li Beijue, didnât she rely on Lin Anxinâs connections to play a minor role with few lines in a drama crew?
At that time, the female lead seemed to be her!
She just didnât use an English name.
Her Chinese name was Luo Keâer.
So when Chi Enen first heard "Miko," she didnât immediately connect her with the female lead she hadnât seen much of.
Miko gave a sweet smile, using those lively eyes to look at her, then at Li Beijue, enviously saying, "So envious of Miss Chi, always maintaining such good feelings with Master Jue."
