The elevator doors were about to close.
Suddenly, a hand reached in, and a handsome man’s face appeared before her.
Chi Enen was taken aback!
Why did he follow her? Wasn’t he professing his love to Sheng Aiyi?
For some reason, Chi Enen recalled how he had cornered her not a long ago, making her instinctively take a step back in defense.
The cold-faced man seemed as if he hadn’t heard her speak at all. He walked straight into the elevator without even glancing at her during the entire process.
‘Ding—’ The elevator doors closed.
In the confined space, just the two of them remaining, Chi Enen couldn’t help but feel tense.
However, none of the scenarios she anticipated occurred. From beginning to end, Li Beijue never looked back at her. Even when the elevator stopped at the underground parking garage she wanted to go to, and she hurried out, he made no move.
It wasn’t until Chi Enen disappeared around the corner of the garage and the elevator doors closed again that the previously expressionless man angrily punched the elevator buttons!
There was a loud bang, several elevator buttons were smashed, and a buzzing electric sound ensued.
His recently scabbed left hand began to bleed anew.
Chi Enen found her car, opened the door just as she was sitting down, and a text message from Lin Anxin came through.
Chi Enen had something to ask her, so she called her back right away.
The phone barely rang twice before Lin Anxin answered instantly.
“Hello, Enen, did you see the text message 1 sent you?”
“The thing you asked me to take care of, my elder uncle managed to handle it for you. Enen, now that you’re a married woman, shouldn’t you treat us to a meal?” Lin Anxin joked.
Chi Enen was not in the mood for jokes and wanted to get to the point, “Anxin, did you ask your elder uncle when he would have time? I’d like to discuss the household registration with him as soon as possible.”
“That… 1 asked. He said he’s overseas and it’ll be a while before he can return.”
Baby Chi wouldn’t return until she’s almost 5 years old, which is half a year away. By then, that person should be back.
Chi Enen was relieved, “…Alright then.”
Another matter, however, lingered in her heart, “Oh Anxin, can you do me a favor?”
“Sure, what do you need?”
Chi Enen found it a bit difficult to articulate, “I’d like to stay at your place for a week until I find myself a new house, and then I’ll move out.”
“You’re moving again?” Lin Anxin was surprised and pressed for details, “Didn’t you just move there? Why are you moving again? That apartment was pretty nice, two rooms and a living room, close to the set, with a primary school nearby. It would be convenient for Bae Chi to go to school once she comes over. Why the sudden move?”
“Because Bae Chi’s father bought that suite.” Chi Enen did not want to deceive her.
“Bae Chi’s father?! He bought the house?!” Lin Anxin exclaimed over the phone. After her surprise subsided, she calmed down a bit and lowered her voice, “What’s going on with you two? Enen, you haven’t… don’t tease me, you just got your marriage certificate with someone else.”
“It’s not what you think, or else 1 wouldn’t be planning to move. Anxin, can you let me stay for a week?”
Lin Anxin was straightforward and very loyal, “Of course, you can.”
“I have to work late tonight for a shoot, so I’ll get back pretty late. You can head over directly; Qin Wenhao will be at home.”
Qin Wenhao had been Lin Anxin’s boyfriend for 4 years. They started dating in university and were now discussing marriage. Qin Wenhao didn’t work in the entertainment circle but had found a job at a foreign enterprise. Although his income wasn’t as high as Anxin’s, who had made it to the E-list, it was considered quite good amongst average people.
“What’s all this thank you between us? Don’t worry about it, just come over later.”
Chi Enen hung up the phone, gathered her scattered emotions, and immersed herself wholeheartedly in her work..
