Enen Chi’s back was soaked with cold sweat; under the man’s oppressive aura, her legs trembled instinctively, and it was only by sheer stubbornness that she managed to stand her ground.
Her tone softened as she tried to reason with him, “Li Beijue, our relationship was a mistake from the start. Why insist on continuing it? You are the heir to a wealthy family and a respected Commander Officer, adored by countless women like fish in a river. You can have any kind of woman you want. Why force someone who doesn’t like you?”
“So many women like me, why don’t you?” Li Beijue pressed closer and questioned back, “Is it just because I forced you? I’ve said I won’t touch you if you’re unwilling.”
Enen Chi didn’t know how to answer that question.
The biggest problem between her and Li Beijue wasn’t about coercion. They simply had no future! She hadn’t considered trying a relationship that had no future. Five years ago, she ended up in his bed by accident and stayed by his side because she was too scared to run. Her Grandfather’s illness was still untreated due to lack of money, and she couldn’t run away.
From the start, she had stayed with him to avoid offending him, so she could be obedient and listen to everything he said, yet she never once thought about truly liking him. Later, after getting the money and Grandfather was fine, she found out she was pregnant. Her first reaction wasn’t to tell him, but to run away. Because she knew her identity was a whole galaxy away from Li Beijue’s. Even if a comet struck the Earth, they could never be together. It wasn’t about whether Li Beijue liked her or not, nor was it about whether she liked him. It was about them being utterly mismatched! Nobody would wish for them to be together! Her only way out was to be a woman who couldn’t see the light, and she was unwilling. She was unwilling before, and she’s still unwilling now!
“You yourself said so many women like me, there’s every type, why don’t you like me?” He seemed stubbornly fixated on this question. Enen Chi remained silent, but he glared at her, demanding an answer, “Speak! Weren’t you eloquent just now? Give me an answer that satisfies me, and maybe I’ll let you go.”
He gripped Enen Chi’s shoulders and shook her. “I told you to speak!”
The wound that had just crusted over nearly broke open from the shaking. She closed her eyes and blurted out, “Because I’ve never liked you, not even considered it.”
She had never thought about liking him? Li Beijue’s face turned an ashen blue, his eyes pooling with stormy rage! That look of fury, on the verge of murder, was enough not to just startle Enen Chi, but even Huo Yi felt his heart skip a beat.
He quickly tried to smooth things over, “Master Jue, don’t be angry, Miss Chi was just speaking out of anger…”
Enen Chi opened her eyes, defiant and with fists clenched, “I wasn’t speaking out of anger, I meant it. I have never thought about liking you. How can I like you without even thinking about it? So you don’t have to care about me anymore, and trying to control me will only make me dislike you more.”
She told him she disliked him!
Li Beijue was almost driven mad with anger, his temple throbbed violently, each beat a tight squeeze on his heart! God knows it took all his strength not to strangle that delicate neck. He glared with a pair of carnivorous eyes and suddenly with a swift kick, sent a trash can flying, “Fine! Enen Chi, how capable you are! You really think I can’t live without you, huh? What do you count for? No beauty, no figure. You think just because I have lingering feelings for you, you can do whatever you please. Okay, you want to leave me? I’ll grant you your wish!”
He ground his teeth, squeezing out a single word, “Get lost!”
