Chi Enen got out of bed early.
Last night, Li Beijue had celebrated her birthday for her, and she wasn’t someone ungrateful. She knew how to reciprocate kindness, so today she planned to buy some seafood and cook Li Beijue a bowl of seafood porridge.
“Miss Chi, good morning.”
At the hotel doorway, the manager had been waiting there early in the morning. Seeing her coming down, he hurried to greet her.
“Manager Wang, morning,” Chi Enen said, not too surprised. After all, Huo Yi had told her that morning he might not be able to accompany her and that Li Beijue had arranged someone else for her.
If even Huo Yi didn’t have time, it showed how busy that man was.
“Morning, morning,” the hotel manager said while leading her outside, cautiously asking, “Have you decided where you’d like to go, Miss Chi?”
Chi Enen had already made up her mind and told him the name of a shopping center. The manager helped her open the car door and began driving toward the destination—
At the same time, a silver Jaguar left the hotel opposite and started following their car.
The shopping center Chi Enen mentioned was a place she had specifically looked up on the internet last night. It was close to the hotel, with a wide range of products at affordable prices.
It was at peak hours, and the center was crowded. The manager went to find a parking slot, and she went inside the shopping center to shop first.
Only the seafood area had fresh seafood for sale. Chi Enen took out her wallet and saw that there were only a little over 200 yuan left inside. She started calculating what she would need to buy in a bit, counting while walking.
A few fresh shrimp, at least two abalones—what else should she buy?
She wondered if the price of abalones would be expensive? Given that the Ryukyu Islands were by the sea, their seafood should be cheaper than in Rainy City, right?
What if she didn’t have enough money? Should she buy fewer shrimp? Or maybe she shouldn’t buy the more expensive abalones?
She quickly dismissed her own calculations.
No, that wouldn’t do; given that man’s fastidious nature, he would certainly notice if she used cheaper abalones. Then, in front of her, he would throw the fruits of her day’s labor into the trash can. She would definitely be unable to help herself from giving him the cold shoulder. So although she could buy fewer abalones, they had to be of the best quality.
She wondered if 200 yuan would be enough…
Suddenly, Chi Enen accidentally bumped into the person in front of her.
Regaining her composure, she apologized instinctively, “I’m—”
Before she could finish the word “sorry,” she froze, her mouth agape as she stared at the person in front of her, “Su Chengyan?”
Chi Enen’s mind was in turmoil, and her ears rang.
How could he be here?
Anxin said he had just returned to the country, so why was he on the Ryukyu Islands? And why on earth did she bump into him in the shopping mall?
Despite her inner turmoil and doubt, she managed to compose herself quickly, replying with artificial detachment, “What a coincidence, 1 didn’t expect to encounter you here.”
Looking at her deliberately aloof gaze, Su Chengyan clenched his hands into fists, speaking with restrained emotion, “It’s not a coincidence, 1 came here specifically to find you, Enen.”
Came specifically to find her?
Chi Enen hadn’t expected him to say that and was at a loss for words momentarily.
At this time, Su Chengyan took the initiative to speak, “If it’s convenient, could we have tea together?”
As if afraid she would refuse, he quickly added, “There’s a cafe on the shopping mall second floor, it won’t take up too much of your time.”
Now that he had gotten to this point, Chi Enen really couldn’t refuse. She hesitated, sent a text message to the manager, and then followed Su Chengyan to the cafe on the second floor..
