Chapter 657: Chapter 657: Li Beijue, I Miss You
Chi Enen’s words were not yet finished when her chin was clamped shut by him. Looking like he was about to explode, he lowered his voice into a growl, “So you think I should be somewhere else right now, at some other woman’s engagement banquet? Chi Enen, are you happy that I’m getting engaged to a woman who isn’t you?”
“I’m not…” She was blindsided by the accusation, leaving Chi Enen stunned, not understanding what she did to appear joyful to him. She was merely surprised, surprised at how he had found her, and how he had eluded Duke Habsden’s men to scale the wall and enter her room.
Li Beijue narrowed his falcon-like eyes as if convinced she was pleased, gritting his teeth, “I think you are very happy indeed!”
Damn it, shouldn’t she have told him just now that these past several days she missed him so much, that she felt so awful, yet this heartless woman doesn’t seem to have missed him at all!
It was as if he was the only one who had gone crazy over these past several days!
Chi Enen had not been with him for just a day; she understood his way of thinking somewhat. She quickly realized what he was angry about and immediately her lips lifted into a smile, bright eyes shining like stars as she fixed her gaze unwaveringly on him. Shedding her shyness, she reached out and hooked her arms around the waist of the man who loomed above her, whispering softly, “Li Beijue, I’ve missed you.”
The man who just a moment ago had a rather unpleasant expression suddenly turned from stormy to sunny.
“These past several days, I’ve been constantly worried, worried about how you would react upon finding out I was gone, whether you would get angry and smash things, whether you would recklessly disregard your injuries… Then I saw the news online, and my first thought was whether you were being threatened. But I couldn’t contact you, I tried to find a way, but still…”
“Didn’t you think upon seeing the news that I was going to abandon you and get engaged to another woman?”
Li Beijue abandon her and get engaged to another woman? Chi Enen was taken aback; it seemed she had never even considered that possibility, not even entertaining the thought.
All these days, she had wondered how he would react upon discovering her absence, whether he was being threatened, and many other things, but never once did she think Li Beijue would abandon her?
Were it not for his bringing it up, she would have never realized that it had never crossed her mind.
Right, why had she never doubted that?
In terms of appearance, talent, and family background, it seemed that Kim Zhixuan was better than her in every aspect; it was normal for a man to tire of the old and be enthralled with the new. How come she never considered that Li Beijue might be taken by Kim Zhixuan’s charms?
When she saw the news initially, her first reaction was that Li Beijue might have been threatened by the Old Master, that something had happened that she didn’t know about, forcing him to compromise and agree to the engagement.
Having said this, Li Beijue then saw the woman beneath him appear lost in thought, seriously pondering over his question. His falcon-like eyes abruptly darkened, and tightening his grip on her chin, he forcibly raised her chin, interrupting her daze, “Chi Enen, no wild thoughts! And when you’re with me, no daydreaming!”
“…I wasn’t thinking wildly; I was just considering the question you just asked.”
“What’s there to think about that question!”
All he wanted was to hear her say that she believed in him!
If he had known she would take so long, he wouldn’t have asked at all!
Seeing his impatient look, Chi Enen felt speechless. The one who asked the question was him, yet he turned out to be the first to grow impatient with it… The next time he asked her something, should she think it through, or not?
