Chapter 441: Chapter 441: Talk to Her at a Time
“I like you, and I know it myself!”
Chi Enen had done the boldest thing in her life, which was to confess to a man without any reservations.
Perhaps it was because there were people not far outside, she tensed up nervously, clutching the man’s solid arm tightly, trying her best to suppress her voice, fearing that she would tremble uncontrollably due to being too tense and embarrassed.
“The only proof I can give is this. I like you, I …” she didn’t even know what to say anymore.
Her words were the best encouragement for Li Beijue.
His heart, which had just plunged into the abyss, reached Heaven in an instant. But before he could revel in ecstasy, his falcon-like eyes paused, landing on her. With a complex expression, he interrogated, “Chi Enen, are you saying you like me because of Chi Jingchen?”
Chi Enen was so nervous she was almost in a daze, but hearing his question snapped her back to clarity, and she finally understood why he had reacted so strongly to this topic recently. That night, he hadn’t left; he was right outside Han Qifeng’s ward.
He hadn’t heard what she said after, only hearing Han Qifeng ask if it was because of Baby Chi that she chose to be with him.
Chi Enen understood the cause and effect, as well as why he insisted on getting Han Qifeng fired. For a moment, she didn’t know whether to be angry at him for only listening to half of a conversation or to feel sorry for him.
She really couldn’t imagine how Li Beijue, with his temperament that could ignite at the slightest touch, hadn’t already confronted her with this issue a long time ago, grabbing her wrist and sternly interrogating her.
Instead, he had kept it all bottled up inside.
“…” And here she was, zoning out at such a moment!
Li Beijue, who wished he could meld her into his very marrow, was about to tell her to shut up, not wanting to hear her answer anymore.
But then he saw the little lady in front of him come back to her senses, wrapping her arms tightly around his waist. She took the initiative to kiss his thin lips again, giving him a firm answer, “It’s not because of Baby Chi that I like you, it’s because you are Li Beijue.”
“Li Beijue, I like you.”
“Not because of who you are, but because you are you.”
Not sure if she’d be able to say it again next time, she took advantage of this breakthrough boldness to get it all out at once, “I don’t know how much you heard outside the ward that night, or what you heard. But I was very clear with Doctor Han, I don’t like you because of Baby Chi, it’s because you are Li Beijue. I also told him that I shouldn’t have kept in touch with him knowing it bothered you, always thinking there was nothing ambiguous between us, and that it was fine as long as I behaved uprightly. He also agreed that we would try not to meet or contact each other in the future. He even formally apologized to me, saying he caused us to quarrel…”
“Doctor Han is a good person, and his daughter and Baby are good friends too. I don’t want a groundless matter to cause a fallout between our two families. So, when I heard from the kindergarten teacher that you had gotten Doctor Han fired, that’s why I was so angry. But I just wanted to explain clearly to you that there wasn’t any sort of ambiguous relationship between me and Doctor Han; I didn’t want to quarrel with you…”
If she had chosen another time to speak, Li Beijue might not have listened.
But at this moment, Li Beijue took it in, even seeing the sincerity in her eyes.
His thin lips pursed slightly as he frowned, “You said half of it yesterday, then you turned around and left.”
