Chapter 21: What Else is There Besides a Face

Her chin was fiercely pinched and lifted.
Chi Enen couldn’t move at all, not even struggle, and could only look at him.
“I must have been fucking crazy to think that there was another reason for you leaving me five years ago, Chi Enen. What do you have besides a pretty face, Woman?”
Chi Enen kept silent.
“Tsk! Right, you also have a venomous heart, hypocritical and fake, greedy as hell!”
Li Beijue stared at her indifferent little face, wishing he could just strangle her, yet his hands were immobile.
He released his grip in dejection, looking down on her from above, “Chi Enen, you win.”
“…” What had she won?
Li Beijue stared into her eyes. “1 admit I still have feelings for you. So, before I completely lose interest in you, tell me, how much money do you want to keep me company?”
What was he saying? He still had feelings for her? Knowing that she had stayed with him for money before, he was willing to pay her to continue keeping him company?
Was this still the domineering, invincible man?
“Not enough? Twenty million.”
Chi Enen still didn’t speak; his impatience twisted his eyebrows. “How much do you want? Name your price.”
His voice was thick with irritation.
Chi Enen snapped back to reality, trying to laugh but unable to; she driedly tugged at the corner of her mouth, “I don’t want your money.”
Li Beijue looked at her as if he was seeing her for the first time, inspecting her from head to toe before finally tilting her chin up, leaning in with an ambiguous air, “If you don’t want money, are you saying you want the person?”
Chi Enen’s cheeks flushed with embarrassment, quickly saying, “You misunderstand, I mean I don’t want the money and I won’t keep you company.”
The handsome face of the man instantly turned cold.
She inhaled deeply and continued, “Five years ago, I truly wronged you for money, and I am sorry. I have fully realized my mistakes and won’t make the same ones again.”
She had wronged him for money.
Five years ago their relationship was just a mistake she did not wish to repeat.
Li Beijue suddenly smashed his fist onto the tea table nearby, glass shards embedding into the back of his hand, blood flowing freely, the wounds startling to behold.
Chi Enen’s face paled, “Li Beijue…”
Before she could finish, the man roared like a restrained beast, “Get out!”
Chi Enen hesitated, then glanced at the man clearly frothing with rage, and stood to leave.
She had taken only a few steps when her wrist was seized.
She was pinned against the wall, as the man with bloodshot eyes leaned in like a beast, biting and ravaging her lips and teeth, forcing his way into her oral cavity, conquering and pillaging.
Li Beijue held her flailing wrists with one hand while hooking her waist with the other, pulling her tightly against himself, bowing his head to frantically ask for a kiss…
Chi Enen clearly resisted his forceful kiss, yet her body involuntarily trembled under his adept technique. After fruitless struggling with muffled noises, she steeled her heart and sharply clamped her teeth down.
The man kissing her crazily grunted in pain, withdrew from her lips, and pressed her against the wall, panting rapidly. A pair of eyes tinged with darkness stared at her unwaveringly.
Chi Enen’s heartbeat thundered, fearing he would do something even more domineering.
Fortunately, Li Beijue just stared at her and did nothing else. After a long half moment, his chest that had been heaving with agitation slowly calmed down. He straightened up, released his clamp on Chi Enen, and as if the person who had just been kissing her wasn’t him, he coldly flung out a word, “Get out..”
