Chi Enen fell silent at his words, then pursed her lips tightly and, lifting her head, looked into his eyes and said, “But 1 haven’t encountered any danger, and it’s not possible for me to encounter any danger.”
“What if, perhaps, or in the future? What if today, Master Jue had instructed me to protect not Miss Chi, but Military Officials instead?”
Every word he spoke made sense, and the resentment Chi Enen felt toward Li Beijue gradually dissipated.
“Regardless, 1 still feel apologetic.”
Huo Yi, seeing her guilty expression and feeling a bit embarrassed himself, quickly interrupted her, “This has nothing to do with Miss Chi; I wasn’t planning on mentioning it. I only spoke up because I saw Miss Chi was unhappy with Master Jue over this. In fact, Master Jue didn’t really punish me; he just told me to run a few extra laps around the Military Training Field after returning to Rainy City. So Miss Chi, sometimes Master Jue is just stubborn and might not speak pleasantly, but you mustn’t take it to heart.”
Chi Enen wanted to say that in the elevator, Li Beijue even threatened to send him to Country Y for coal mining. But seeing the admiration and respect in Huo Yi’s eyes when he spoke of Li Beijue, she swallowed her words.
However, after this exchange with Huo Yi, she felt less oppressed than before.
To hell with it, she thought, the road will unfold before the car reaches the mountain. She wasn’t planning on spending a lifetime with Li Beijue, so why should his dominance and obstinacy bother her? Why strain their relationship to such an extent? If she angered him, wouldn’t she be the one to suffer?
Thinking this, Chi Enen’s mood greatly improved.
This good mood lasted until Huo Yi brought her to a group of foreigners and they taught her the basics of scuba diving.
“Master Jue,” Huo Yi, fulfilling his duty, stood watch on the nearby beach as the cold-faced man approached, and he immediately bowed his head in greeting.
Li Beijue’s falcon-like eyes fixed unwaveringly on the person in the water, and without glancing at him, asked, “Is she ready?”
“Miss Chi learns quickly; she should be about ready to go into the water,” Huo Yi paused, then added, “But it’s Miss Chi’s first time diving, don’t we need to arrange for an instructor to accompany her?”
“I am here,” three words, domineering and forceful, proud and utterly confident!
Huo Yi’s expression became solemn, and he answered resolutely, “I will prepare right away.”
The sea water, warmed by the sun the whole day, was very warm and not as cold as it appeared from the shore.
Chi Enen repeatedly followed the instructor’s directions to wear the diving equipment and practiced in the shallow waters. This beach was reserved by the hotel, so it was rarely frequented by visitors, unlike the sea near the Night Market, which was crowded with tourists and the coast’s sea area was full of people. One could hardly see any fish, shrimp, or crabs.
Chi Enen chased after the small fish in the sea with delight and even caught a small crab, “Look…”
As she was about to show off to the instructor, she saw the cold-faced man, and the instructors who taught her to dive were no longer in the shallow area. Feeling a bit embarrassed, she still called out, “Li Beijue, why did you come down?”
The handsome, cold man had changed into swimming trunks at some point, and his half-exposed upper body showcased the perfect mermaid line on his waist and stomach, sexy beyond words! At her words, his brows furrowed, “Do I need your permission to come down? Is this part of the sea leased by you, or is it named after you?”
Chi Enen had intended to reconcile with him and coexist peacefully. But hearing his unequivocal sarcasm, the breath that had eased in her chest was now blocked once again. She responded coolly and indifferently, “1 didn’t mean that.”
Having lost the mood to play, she released the crab back into the water, saying, “I’ll go up first; Young Master Li, enjoy yourself.”
Li Beijue felt like strangling her on the spot, but he couldn’t bear to. His chest filled with a fiery rage, heaving violently.. With a darkened face, he grabbed the hand of the little lady as she was about to head back to shore and dragged her forcefully into the sea!
