Chapter 189: He Just Doesn’t Know How to Express Himself

“Dominating! The epitome of despotism!”
Chi Enen had grown accustomed to this, she glanced at him indifferently and said, “If you gouge out my eyes, I can still speak. If you break his legs, 1 have my own to walk to him…”
Before she could finish her sentence, her fingers were yanked painfully, and the man’s furious voice loomed over her from above, “So who do you want to meet?!”
She repeated it twice in her mind and managed to suppress her rebellious thoughts, explaining calmly, “I was just making a comparison. Gouging out my eyes and breaking his legs would be pointless. In such a situation, you ought to lock them up in a pig cage and sink it into the river. Or better yet, throw one to the far south and the other to the far north. Only then can you ensure they never meet in every lifetime.”
Beijue glared at her fiercely with his falcon-like eyes, turned his head away, and coldly added, “You’re right. If such a day ever comes, I’ll make sure everyone knows the consequences of betraying me!”
Chi Enen had just been joking, but to her surprise, he took it seriously, leaving her with the feeling of having lifted a stone only to drop it on her own foot.
Li Beijue strode forward with long legs; it wasn’t good for her to continue on this topic. Talking more could turn a non-issue into an issue, so she quickened her pace to catch up.
The celebration banquet was held in the Military Hall.
Unlike the solemn atmosphere of the Military District, this place seemed like it was taken straight out of a Wealthy TV drama, filled with fresh flowers.
A dedicated violin orchestra elegantly played dance music while long dining tables were set up around, topped with abundant flowers and delicacies.
Previously, when she watched the military exercise, she hardly saw any women, but now they seemed to have sprouted up like mushrooms after the rain—each one in exquisite attire, their hair alone revealing hours of preparation.
Where did these people find the time to participate in the military exercise and then get all dolled up?
All of it done in the one-hour rest time?
Women’s makeup routines are not like men’s—a simple face wash and they’re out the door. Just applying makeup could take an hour, not to mention doing their hair, changing clothes, doing their nails, and choosing accessories.
The reason she was able to get ready so quickly today was partly due to the many helping hands and clear division of labor. Plus, she simply curled her hair and pinned it up without anything too intricate. Her makeup was also deliberately simple and light to match her skirt. Even so, it still took her an hour.
Chi Enen glanced over the beauties with opulent hairstyles and silently discarded the notion that their look was a last-minute effort.
What she didn’t know was that these people hadn’t prepared on the fly because they hadn’t participated in the military exercise in the first place. Military exercises, being serious and important events, rarely included family members. Today, among those who entered and sat in the first row, apart from Quan You, there was only her!
Quan You was at least a Major General and part of the Military District. She… categorized as an incapacity person, yet she occupied the most enviable position.
She was so special, so eye-catching, only because of one man—Li Beijue!
He wanted her to shine brightly, to stand beside him, telling everyone that Chi Enen was his woman!
He was her silent supporter, her emotional backbone!
He had done so much, yet said so little.. When he did speak, he didn’t know how to express himself—always forcefully, dominating, as if not one to negotiate, persistently demanding and commanding!
