Chapter 438: Chapter 438: Li Beijue, Have You Misunderstood Something?
Chi Enen entered without resistance.
Once inside, she realized it looked more like a private small kitchen, equipped with various high-end cooking appliances, presumably for the big chef to prepare his meals.
The stern-faced man pulled her inside, pushed her in front of the kitchen counter, and stared at her with a tense expression. “You want me to eat something, right? Fine, I want to eat Tomato Egg Noodles.”
He was willing to eat something?
Chi Enen wasn’t entirely sure, so she confirmed, “If I make Tomato Egg Noodles, you’ll eat them?”
“Yes, as long as you make Tomato Egg Noodles, I’ll eat them!” He said through gritted teeth.
“Fine, I’ll make them for you.” Chi Enen was in a good mood and didn’t argue with him.
First, she washed her hands thoroughly, then found the refrigerator, took out tomatoes and eggs, and rummaged through several cabinets to find the noodles.
She skillfully cracked the eggs, cleaned the tomatoes, and didn’t forget to turn around and tell the man beside her, “I’ll be done shortly, you should go back to your office. I’ll bring it to you when it’s ready.”
Li Beijue’s face looked displeased as he snapped harshly, “Don’t worry about whether I’m here or not, just do your job! Hurry up!”
“…” Was he really that domineering when she was just trying to be nice?
Chi Enen, feeling unhappy, quickened her pace; her movements became even more deft as she quickly chopped the tomatoes and lit the stove.
Fry the eggs, add water, add tomatoes, cook the noodles…
In a short while, a steaming bowl of Tomato Egg Noodles was ready.
She found a tray and set the bowl and chopsticks on it…
Chi Enen took a deep breath, put on a smile, and presented the tray before him, “The Tomato Egg Noodles are ready. Why don’t you try them and see how they taste?”
As the saying goes, “You don’t slap the hand that smiles at you,” and seeing her radiant smile, Li Beijue truly couldn’t say anything negative. He frowned slightly, picked up the chopsticks, and began eating.
Chi Enen watched him eat nervously, noticing his knotted brows slowly unwinding. Tentatively, she asked, “Li Beijue, could there have been some misunderstanding?”
Having rehearsed in her mind what she wanted to say, and feeling confident it wouldn’t anger him, she continued, “Because you didn’t actually make Han Qifeng lose his job earlier, so I was thinking, could there have been some misunderstanding?”
The savory Tomato Egg Noodles suddenly lost their flavor, and Li Beijue abruptly set down the chopsticks, looked at her with full irritation, and said, “No misunderstanding. I’m just that domineering!”
In her eyes, he was someone unreasonable, having bullied her innocent Doctor Han, Mr. Han.
In her view, he was someone who only knew how to coerce and was irrational.
Besides, he had nothing to explain. It was indeed he who had caused Han Qifeng to lose his job; he just disliked Han Qifeng, and even more so, he disliked the question Han Qifeng had asked her behind his back at the hospital!
“I’m done eating, you can go!” His mood suddenly tasteless, Li Beijue suppressed the irritation in his heart, frowned, and got up to leave.
Chi Enen, frustrated by his uncooperative attitude, remembered the promise she made to Huo Yi and suppressed her discomfort, reaching out to grab his wrist, saying earnestly, “…Li Beijue, let’s talk.”
Her soft small hand rested on his wrist, causing him to pause momentarily before he shook her hand off, “If you want to talk about Han Qifeng, forget it.”
He didn’t want to talk about it, and he definitely didn’t want to hear her plead on behalf of that man again! If she continued, he feared he wouldn’t be able to restrain himself, and it wouldn’t end with just making that man lose his job!
