Chapter 484: Chapter 484: Hung Up Her Phone
Chi Enen, having come to terms with her feelings, was not one to play coy. She walked to the balcony and dialed Li Beijue’s phone number—
Her mobile phone rang only once before the call connected, but silence filled the other end.
Chi Enen couldn’t say why, but she suddenly felt nervous. She held her phone in one hand and rested the other on the balcony railing, biting her lower lip and tentatively whispered, “Hello?”
“…” Silence still reigned on the other end of the phone.
Static hissed through the receiver.
Chi Enen gripped the railing, her knuckles turning slightly white with nervous apprehension, “Li Beijue, are you listening?”
After a long while, so long she thought no one was actually listening on the other end, a deep, husky voice finally came through, “Didn’t you want nothing to do with me?”
His voice was rough, as if he hadn’t drunk water for days, loaded with a gravelly texture.
Chi Enen couldn’t deny that even with his husky voice, Li Beijue sounded irresistibly charming. But, remembering what Huo Yi had said, she couldn’t help feeling distressed. She gripped her phone tighter, “…I never said I didn’t want you.”
She did, and she did it thoroughly!
On the bed, she stabbed him deeply with her unresponsive demeanor, leaving him bleeding profusely! In the blink of an eye, with the help of fireflies, she scooped out his heart again!
The CEO Office was silent as the Di Jingfeng Company boss awkwardly sat there, watching him and wondering curiously who was calling Young Master Li. Li had actually abandoned negotiation discussions, leaving him hanging, to answer the phone by the floor-to-ceiling glass window…
Chi Enen was so blocked by his words she didn’t know how to continue. After adjusting her breathing, she decided not to let him lead the conversation, “Li Beijue, I heard the news from Country W…”
Her few words caused the proud, cold-faced man’s complexion to change dramatically as he said sharply, “What did you say?”
Hadn’t he ordered Huo Yi to block the domestic news?
Just who dared to speak nonsense to Chi Enen!
His strong reaction was unexpected to Chi Enen, who nonetheless decided to be honest, “I found the same perfume smell on your blouse twice, and… that afternoon, I wanted to send a family photo using your phone and saw a text message someone had sent you. It mentioned the news.”
Chi Enen cleverly hid any mention of Lin Anxin.
“Li Beijue, don’t you think you owe me an explanation?” Chi Enen’s tone wasn’t accusing; it was calm and straightforward, as gentle as if asking whether to add vinegar to noodles.
But Li Beijue was anything but calm. His handsome face darkened, and the temperature in the office suddenly dropped to freezing point, so much so that the Di Jingfeng boss sitting on the sofa even felt a wave of pressure!
Chi Enen waited for a while, but the person on the other end said nothing, “Hello? Li Beijue? Are you still there?”
“I am.” A storm seemed to brew in his eyes as he finally appeared to make a decision, turning around and walking quickly towards the office desk, “I have other matters to attend to, I’m hanging up now.”
Without waiting for Chi Enen’s consent, he hung up the phone. Throwing his mobile on the office desk, he agitatedly sat in the swivel chair, and as if forgetting there were others in the office, stood up again, picked up the phone, and dialed a number, “Hello, where are you? Stay put, don’t wander off, I’ll come pick you up right away.”
After speaking, he picked up his coat from the chair and turned to leave…
The Di Jingfeng boss was stunned, standing up and calling out, “President Li?”
However, Li Beijue continued as if he hadn’t heard, not looking back—
