Chapter 572: Chapter 572: Mr. Li, Thank You
Baby Chi’s pretty little face changed from white to red, then from red to a purplish hue. Enen saw her trying to retort several times, but each time she opened her mouth, her reluctance to upset her won. She forcefully held back her words!
She quickly tried to smooth things over, “By the way, Baby Chi, what did you play Outside this morning?”
“Nothing much.” Baby Chi was still upset because she had previously taken The Neighbor Old Wang’s side and huffed petulantly.
Enen gave Li Beijue a look, but the man opposite to her furrowed his eyebrows and remained silent.
The atmosphere at the dining table once again dropped to freezing point.
Watching the two of them ignore each other, Enen felt utterly drained.
Suddenly someone called her name from behind.
Enen turned around and saw Lin Nai approaching them with a breezy demeanor.
She seemed to have changed into new Clothes, and her makeup was lighter, with a ponytail secured on her head. Enen didn’t at first connect her with the person who was desperately flirting in the hotel in the morning.
However, there was something off about her that Enen couldn’t pinpoint.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Nai had approached them and, with intimacy, grabbed her hand, full of gratitude, “Enen, I’ve heard everything from my mom. Thank you.”
Enen subtly withdrew her hand, saying distantly, “I didn’t do it to help you.”
Lin Nai seemed convinced otherwise, “Regardless, you helped me. I really thank you, Enen.”
“I didn’t expect Ande Pan to be that kind of person. I had no idea he falsified the Accounting book, let alone that he used my Bank Card to transfer dirty money… In short, I’m really grateful for your help this time, or I would have been severely harmed by that scumbag. By the way, Enen, what’s your boyfriend’s last name? Is it Li?” Lin Nai turned her bright Eyes to the man opposite her and thanked him earnestly, “Mr. Li, thank you.”
Li Beijue didn’t even spare her a glance out of the corner of his eye. Baby Chi also acted as if he hadn’t seen her, not even curiously asking who she was.
Lin Nai was a bit awkward, her smile stiffening. But she did not linger overly long, retracting her hand and gently patting Enen on the shoulder, “Well then, Enen, enjoy your meal, I won’t disturb your dining.”
With that, she walked away.
She took a seat not far from them, seemingly ordering a meal from the Waiter, showing no signs of wanting to intrude further.
A flicker of surprise crossed Enen’s eyes. She had thought Lin Meiqi told Lin Nai that she had a rich boyfriend, and that it was Enen’s wealthy ‘boyfriend’ who helped Lin Nai get out of trouble. Thus, Lin Nai had plotted to target Li Beijue. To Enen’s surprise, Lin Nai didn’t try to cling on with shameless persistence.
It baffled her, but as for unimportant people, Enen never dwelled on them for long.
Right on cue, the steak arrived, and she began to focus on her meal.
Both Li Beijue and Baby Chi were sticklers for Etiquette at the dining table. They generally didn’t talk while eating, which made Enen accustomed to focusing on her meal without chatting.
After polishing off the steaks, it was time for dessert. Enen had barely taken a bite when she heard Baby Chi say, “Woman, could you accompany me to the beach to collect shells later? I want to play.”
Baby Chi immediately broke into a beaming smile, casting a glance at the man opposite him, as though he had scored a point.
With The Neighbor Old Wang so busy, he surely wouldn’t have time to play at the Beach with him and his Woman. Once he was preoccupied with Work, he would take the time to properly persuade his Woman!
