Chapter 702: Chapter 702: Not Planning to Sleep Again
Li Beijue was the first to notice the little guy curled up asleep on the sofa.
He interrupted Si Chen’s conversation, which was halfway through, stood up, and said, “Let’s call it a night, I’m leaving first.”
“Huh? I’ve only said half of it, where are you going?”
“So early? The party has just started.”
Li Beijue glanced at the sweetly sleeping little one, picked up his coat without another word, and as he walked, he said, “Let’s meet another day.”
Si Chen wanted to keep him, but Huo Leiting held him back.
Li Beijue stepped over with his long legs, bent down, and picked up the sleeping Bae Chi, nodded to Lin Anxin as a greeting, and left with the child.
As soon as he left, Lin Anxin immediately picked up her bag, her queenliness fully evident, and said to the sulking man beside her, “President Si, Young Master Huo. I am leaving too, I have an advertisement tomorrow.”
Her words were just a formality, said in passing; she turned and walked away with such an easy, indulgent air, leaving not even a hint of face for them.
Si Chen watched her figure disappear into the private room, furrowed his eyebrows, and poured himself a glass of wine only to down it in one gulp. His usually noble pupils reflected a trace of irritation, a trace of helplessness. Clutching Huo Leiting’s shoulder, he asked with a headache, “What else do I have to do for her to understand my true feelings?”
“When have you ever had true feelings for a woman?” Huo Leiting asked skeptically.
He himself wondered when he had started to have true feelings for a woman!
Especially for a woman so heartless she could discard his own child!
Si Chen’s mouth was filled with bitterness as he picked up the bottle again, poured himself another drink, and poured one for Huo Leiting, furrowing his eyebrows, “Drink! Beijue has left, and you’re not allowed to leave tonight. Keep me company for a couple of drinks.”
Huo Leiting saw the bad mood he was in, lifted the goblet without saying much, and began to drink with him…
Inside the Zijing Garden Mansion.
Huo Yi opened the door.
Watching the tall man carrying Bae Chi into the bedroom, gently placing the child on the bed, and tucking in the quilt before quietly closing the door and returning to the living room.
He smelled the scent of alcohol on the man and stepped forward to ask, “Master Jue, would you like me to prepare a cup of honey water for you?”
Li Beijue pinched the bridge of his nose, exhaustedly unfastening the buttons of his collar, and instructed, “Make me a cup of coffee.”
Drinking coffee so late, could it be that Master Jue doesn’t plan on sleeping tonight?
Huo Yi, concerned, said, “Master Jue, how about I prepare a cup of milk for you instead? Drinking milk at night could be good for your sleep.”
“Sleeping pills are useless, milk won’t be of any help either.” The only thing that worked for him was Chi Enen!
Why was he thinking of that woman again?
Li Beijue, with his mind in chaos, furrowed his eyebrows, “Enough with the nonsense, prepare the coffee, and bring it to my study. I’m heading there now.”
He was halfway there when he suddenly stopped, “And bring the medication as well.”
Although he didn’t want to take those drugs, he needed rest, even if it was just for two or three hours. He had a very important business meeting tomorrow.
He had put aside his affairs in Country T to rush back to Rainy City largely because of that business deal.
The other party had previously been making various excuses not to meet, claiming they couldn’t make a decision and had to wait for their representative to return to the country.
Their company’s representative arrived by airplane today.
He disliked wasting too much time on the same thing, and no matter what, he wanted to schedule a meeting with the representative tomorrow!
