Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“You think I’m torturing you?” Li Beijue was furious, glaring at her fiercely.
Chi Enen tugged at the corner of her mouth, unflinchingly counter-asking him, “What else then? Are you still loving me? I passed out twice because of you in one night. If this is love, then please find someone else, I can’t take it!” “Shut up!”
This woman must be insane!
He hadn’t even held her accountable for running away five years ago, yet she dared to tell him to find another woman.
“I want you.” He just wanted her!
Chi Enen felt like she was going insane, driven mad by his torment. She was nearly mentally collapsed, “Please, let me go.”
Li Beijue’s face darkened.
Chi Enen looked earnestly into his eyes, pleading from the bottom of her heart, “Please.”
Their gazes met mid-air.
Li Beijue’s eyes held a warning, but Chi Enen, as if blind to it, was resolute, prepared to burn her boats.
“Li Beijue, let me go, please,” she implored softly, beseechingly.
Li Beijue slammed his fist onto the tea table, and the glass shattered with a crisp sound. His thin lips pressed into a tight line; the injured fist clutched tightly. Veins bulged on the back of his hand from the force he used, causing the wound that had barely started to heal to burst open again, blood trickling down. However, he seemed completely unaware, still gripping tightly as if that were the only way to contain the tempest of rage within him!
Chi Enen thought he would explode in anger or simply suffocate her.
She had braced herself for it.
But then, a few minutes passed.
The infuriated man, his face tense, said, “Last night, the fact that you passed out twice isn’t entirely my fault; it’s because your body is too weak. I will be more careful in the future and try to restrain myself so as not to make you faint.”
“I…” That wasn’t the point she was making at all!
“As for your work, 1 have already spoken to the Director, and he will increase your scenes. But since the movie has been mostly shot, at most you can be promoted to the third female lead, and any more would require reshooting. If you want to be the Female Lead, I can have it re-filmed,” he paused, then continued, “This house has been registered in your name; legally, I have no right to take it back, so this is your home, and you’ll never be homeless.”
“…” This house was registered in her name? When did that happen? Why didn’t she know? Chi Enen was extremely astonished.
Li Beijue fixed his gaze on her eyes, “Chi Enen, don’t think that by infuriating me, I would let you go. Give up that thought! Except for leaving me, whatever other requests you have, I will try to fulfill them.”
“You can meet all demands? Can you not force me then?” Chi Enen challenged.
Not forcing her = not consuming her.
Li Beijue’s thin lips tightly pursed, his deep-set eyes locked onto the little lady in front of him, his teeth gritted, “Until you’re willing, I’ll try my best.”
Try my best? Chi Enen wasn’t satisfied with that answer, her brow furrowing as she was about to insist on a definitive response. Catching sight of the man’s frosty demeanor, she silently swallowed the words on the tip of her tongue.
Forget it, there would be other chances.
“Come here.” Having just signed an extremely humiliating treaty, the mood of a certain person was obviously not very good.
Despite her reluctance, Chi Enen knew when to back down and began to slowly move closer.
She was moving too slowly for Li Beijue, who frowned impatiently. With a swift motion, he pulled her into his arms.. Bending down, he sealed her provocatively small mouth with a kiss!
