Chapter 360: Is She With Him Reluctantly Just Because of Baby Chi?
“Enen.” He suddenly called out.
“Hmm?” Chi Enen looked up at him.
Han Qifeng pondered for a moment, but still decided to speak, “Enen, I want to ask you a question. I know it might be a bit presumptuous of me, and ordinarily, I shouldn’t ask, but what happened tonight made me think a lot. So, I still want to ask you.”
Chi Enen, feeling downhearted, barely nodded, “Mr. Han, please ask.”
Looking into her eyes, Han Qifeng said, “I want to ask you if you’re with Mr. Li because he is Jingchen’s father, or because you like him?”
Li Beijue stood there, watching Chi Enen sob for 20 minutes, then stood a while longer before he remembered the wound on Enen’s arm wasn’t treated yet.
He asked the nurse and found his way to the ward, intending to take Chi Enen to treat the wound. He didn’t expect to encounter Han Qifeng asking Chi Enen this question.
His steps came to an abrupt halt.
For some reason, he suddenly lacked the strength to enter.
Li Beijue’s handsome face tensed up, his expression blank as he clenched his hands at his sides; his veins stood out on the back of his hands from nervousness.
Chi Enen hadn’t expected Han Qifeng to ask her this question; she paused, then fell into silence.
“Enen, it’s not because I like you that I ask this question. I genuinely feel that Mr. Li’s temper isn’t quite suitable for you,” he said.
“I believe that tonight wasn’t an isolated event. Mr. Li’s temper is too volatile, and as a doctor, I think he likely won’t be able to control his temper very well. You know? We often receive female patients whose boyfriends and husbands are those who can’t control their tempers well.”
Han Qifeng, true to his word, wasn’t being malicious, trying to grasp the opportunity to discredit his love rival. He was sincerely considering Chi Enen’s wellbeing from a friend’s perspective.
“So I think if you’re with Mr. Li only because of Chi Jingchen, then you might want to reconsider,” he suggested.
Li Beijue, listening from outside, heard every word Han Qifeng said clearly, and also heard that Chi Enen didn’t argue.
His chest felt as if it had been sliced open with a razor, his heart churned with the relentless cuts of a sharp knife. The pain was extreme!
Was Chi Enen really with him only because of Baby Chi?
Were her confessions of liking him also just for Baby Chi, to give Baby Chi a complete and harmonious family?
Once at the amusement park, she had said to him—she would never like him! Not in the past, not now, not in the future!
So, the joy of these past days, was it all an illusion? Was it a mirage she had woven for him with tender lies?
Li Beijue’s thin lips pressed into a tight line.
Fearful that he might lose control of his emotions and hurt Chi Enen again, he turned away coldly and left the hospital alone…
In the ward, Chi Enen was unaware of everything happening outside.
After several seconds of silence, she put down the fruit knife, looked into Han Qifeng’s eyes, and assured him, “I’m not with him just for Bae Chi, it’s because I like him. I like him.”
It was more than liking him; she also felt compassion. Compassion for that man’s efforts.
“I know his mood tonight was a bit out of control, and from your perspective, he might seem like a man with a fierce temper who won’t listen to explanations and hits out at will. But in reality, he’s not like that.”
