Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Chi Enen returned home, and Li Beijue had already arrived.
“Miss Chi, you’re back,” the servant said as she offered her the slippers.
Chi Enen weakly expressed her gratitude, “Thank you.”
The servant was surprised and pleased, hastily saying there was no need for thanks. Seeing her bowing her head to change shoes, completely oblivious to the oppressive atmosphere in the mansion, the servant hesitated before whispering softly, “Miss Chi, Young Master Li is in a bad mood, please be careful later on.”
What she really meant to say was ‘extremely bad’, but she softened it to ‘in a bad mood’ as the words reached her lips.
Chi Enen did not expect her to say this and looked at her in surprise, genuinely appreciating her kindness with a smile, “Mm, I know. Thank you.”
She had known that Li Beijue would be in a bad mood from the moment she didn’t answer the phone, and was already prepared to face his wrath.
Though she said that, Chi Enen was still truly grateful for the servant’s kind warning.
The lights in the mansion’s living room were bright.
The luxurious crystal chandelier made every corner of the room as bright as daytime, and the man sitting upright on the European-style leather sofa raised his head, the sharp short hair failing to hide the vexed anger on that enthralling handsome face.
“You know to come back?”
Cold as ice, piercing to the bone.
Even though Chi Enen had braced herself to withstand his fury, she was still frozen stiff by his gaze that seemed capable of devouring everything.
“Why didn’t you answer the phone?” His questioning tone was absolute, this man exuded arrogance and privilege from his very bones!
Chi Enen felt like a criminal, she pursed her lips, put down her bag, and said softly, “There was something.”
“What was it?” He pressed on relentlessly.
“…I don’t want to say.” Remembering Lin Meiqi, and recalling the conversation she had unintentionally overheard outside the Chi family’s study room during the day, she felt as if there was a stone pressing on her heart, struggling to breathe with the stuffiness. Her mood was bad, and naturally, her tone was rather poor.
Li Beijue stared fixedly at the little lady in the living room who was organizing her bag, a string in his head was wound tightly, as if it could snap at any moment. Suppressing his anger, his falcon-like eyes narrowed, threateningly he said, “Chi Enen, I’ll give you one more chance, tell me! Why didn’t you answer my phone? Otherwise, the consequences…”
Before he could finish, the little lady who was just organizing her bag suddenly retorted coldly, “Otherwise what? Are you going to make me lose my job, or leave me homeless, or cast me onto the streets, or perhaps, like a hooligan, assault me?”
Li Beijue was taken aback by her rapid-fire response.
When he regained his senses, he looked at Chi Enen in disbelief.
This woman was out of control, daring to yell at him?
“What did you just call me? Say it again if you dare!”
And Chi Enen dared! She felt like a balloon that was on the verge of bursting from pressure, seething with anger about to explode. Her bright eyes widened as she blurted out loudly, “I called you a hooligan, a tyrant! A psycho!”
Li Beijue was stunned by the insults, was this woman insane?
“Am I wrong? From the moment 1 met you, all you’ve shown me is coercion and threats! You don’t care what I say and don’t consider whether I’m willing or not, you only intimidate me, demanding my compliance. Don’t you think your behavior is abnormal?” Chi Enen was furious, as if venting all the grievances she had suffered over the past few days, “Li Beijue, what exactly do you want! If this is revenge for me leaving you five years ago, just kill or slash me, give me a swift end.. I don’t want to be tormented by you anymore!”
