Chapter 912: Chapter 912: Found Nuonuo!
This past year and more, he deliberately refrained from following any news about her. Keeping himself extremely busy, he had not a moment of free time.
Unexpectedly, without seeking her out, a twist of fate brought them together again, and he even serendipitously saved her daughter.
Just now, he had looked into what had happened to her over this past year or so.
He discovered that her life hadn’t been as good as she claimed it had been that night in the hospital, at least not as reported in the news. He saw news about Li Beijue’s engagement with another woman. Because of that engagement, it seemed she disappeared for over a year. What exactly had she gone through this past year? Hadn’t she said that Li Beijue treated her well? Is this the so-called good treatment?
If he’d known earlier that her so-called ‘good life’ was , at that time he…
Xi Zelie clenched his fist, his peach blossom eyes narrowing slightly.
After standing at the staircase for two minutes, he descended. “Let her come in.”
“Yes, Young Master Lie.” The servant who had been blocking Chi Enen immediately stepped aside.
Who is Young Master Lie?
Chi Enen took a deep breath, her concern for Nuonuo outweighing all of her doubts as she stepped forward and walked inside.
Upon entering the villa, she was momentarily dazzled by the luxurious interior decoration.
Chinese-style mahogany sofas, mahogany furniture, together with marble screens, glazed lamps, each detail exuded opulence and grandeur.
Wearing simple black clothing, Xi Zelie’s tall and slender frame was outlined impeccably. His complexion was a kind of translucent white, the stark contrast with his all-black attire creating a striking visual impact! He had removed his gold-rimmed glasses and, after a change of hairstyle, his well-defined facial features became prominent, rivaling Li Beijue in depth.
Yet, he exuded a completely different presence, gentle like an angel, but with an imperceptible sharpness interwoven within that gentleness, deterring people from approaching him carelessly.
Because the closer one got, the more intense that unusual feeling became!
“Mr. Han.” Chi Enen knew that it would be polite to exchange pleasantries first, but her current state of mind allowed no space for small talk. She cut straight to the chase, “The little girl you mentioned on the phone, may I see her?”
Xi Zelie’s gaze was firmly fixed on her, as if attempting to see right through her. Instead of answering, he suddenly asked, “Enen, it’s been a long time. Have you been doing well?”
Chi Enen’s heart skipped a beat, a subtle awkwardness creeping over her, but she met his gaze directly, calm and composed, “I am doing very well. Mr. Han, I want to see the girl you mentioned.”
His eyes briefly swept over Chi Enen’s slightly worn-out, melon-seed shaped face due to her recent travails, and his pupils darkened. He found himself less convinced by the ‘very well’ coming from her now.
As Chi Enen puzzled over his intentions, he suddenly averted his gaze, “Come with me.”
Chi Enen exhaled in relief and followed him to the second floor.
As she ascended the stairs behind the dashing man, the servants all exchanged looks, clearly puzzled. They all read the same question in each other’s eyes — Who is this woman? What is her relationship with Young Master Lie? Why does he seem to have such a peculiar feeling toward her?
However, Chi Enen, oblivious to their astonished expressions, was completely focused on the person she was about to meet!
In the bedroom on the second floor, she instantly saw the little girl undergoing an intravenous infusion, “Nuonuo!”
