Chapter 720: Chapter 720: Sleeping with Her in My Arms Chapter 720: Chapter 720: Sleeping with Her in My Arms Li Beijue’s handsome face darkened. This woman was becoming bolder by the day, not only giving him attitude but also ignoring him?
“I’ll get you a water cup. You should eat something first, rest a bit, and then take your medication.”
The words “not eating” rolled around in his throat twice but ultimately were not spoken.
With a gloomy face, he strode to the dining table, pulled out a chair, and sat down.
As soon as he sat down, the fragrance of Tomato Egg Noodles wafted up with the steam, softening his tense expression substantially.
He picked up the chopsticks and lifted a chopstick-full of noodles, beginning to eat…
It had been over a year since he last ate the Tomato Egg Noodles made by this woman, and they still tasted exactly as he remembered.
Suddenly, his appetite returned, and his stomach, which hadn’t had any food all day, began to growl with hunger. He continued to eat with the full air of an aristocrat as if he hadn’t heard that sound.
Chi Enen brought over a cup of honey water for him, only to see he had started eating. She frowned and said, “Why have you started eating already? Didn’t I ask you to rest a bit? The noodles are too hot. It’s bad for your stomach to eat something so hot when you have a stomachache.”
Li Beijue had already finished more than half of it and glanced at her, “You told me to rest before taking the medication, not before eating the noodles.”
“…” Chi Enen was at a loss for words.
She did tell him to rest before taking the medication because she didn’t think he’d start eating the noodles right away. After all, he had just watched her cooking them, and they were so hot when served; who would have thought he’d actually begin eating right away?
But since he had already eaten more than half, Chi Enen didn’t dwell on the issue. She placed the cup in front of him, “Take a sip of water before you continue eating.”
“Leave it there.” He didn’t want to drink water now; he just wanted to finish the Tomato Egg Noodles she made!
Seeing him bury his head and start eating again, Chi Enen guessed he probably hadn’t eaten anything all day. She exhaled softly, said no more, and pulled out a chair to sit opposite him.
Soon the bowl of Tomato Egg Noodles was finished.
The arrogant man’s face obviously showed he wasn’t satisfied, but Chi Enen pretended not to notice and pushed the water cup towards him again, “Drink some water.”
His stomach was upset; he couldn’t eat anything too hot, too spicy, or too greasy, and he also shouldn’t eat too much. Therefore, when she cooked the noodles, she intentionally made only a small bowl, estimating he would eat until he was about seventy percent full.
Li Beijue took the water cup and drank a sip.
The slight sweetness spread through his lips and teeth, washing away the greasiness of the egg in his mouth, and only then did he realize he was drinking honey water, perfectly temperature-controlled.
His mood improved a few notches more, and he quickly forgot that Chi Enen had just now ignored him.
Chi Enen saw a little color return to his thin lips and let out a sigh of relief. After waiting ten minutes, she handed him the stomach medicine and watched him take it.
Only then did she rub her temple, saying, “I’m going to take a bath.”
From the start, she hadn’t taken a bath, and now she was feeling sticky all over and extremely uncomfortable.
With that, she got up and entered the bathroom connected to the bedroom.
Half an hour later, she came out with her hair dry after her bath, to find the man who had taken the medication was waiting for her on the bed, reading a book. Upon seeing her, he authoritatively patted the space beside him, summoning her like a pet, “Come here.”
Chi Enen still remembered how he had stubbornly endured his stomachache and didn’t feel like going over. She walked straight to the bed and laid down in the farthest corner from him.
As soon as she lay down, her waist was enveloped in an embrace, and she was pulled over and tucked into his arms.
“Li Beijue, it’s hot!” she struggled slightly.
Instead, she was held even tighter, and from above her head came the man’s pleased voice, commanding, “Sleep!”
