Chapter 919: Chapter 919: Mr. Li Has Already Come to Pick You Up
The silence on the other end of the phone lasted for a full half minute before a voice suddenly said, “I’ll wait for you to come back!”
Chi Enen had not yet clearly asked what he meant by waiting when the phone already started emitting the beeping sound of a disconnected call.
Li Beijue had already hung up.
Chi Enen furrowed her eyebrows, feeling a bit uneasy.
The man who hadn’t spoken since getting in the car suddenly asked, “Was that Li Beijue’s call?”
“Yes.” Chi Enen put away her mobile phone, slightly hooked the corner of her mouth, and said naturally, “He asked when I would return.”
A flash passed through Xi Zelie’s eyes.
He had also heard the voice on the phone, but the tone of speaking didn’t seem very pleasant.
As always, domineering and forceful!
His chest felt heavy, he did not speak again, but his hand gripped the steering wheel tightly.
The Rolls-Royce drove through the night towards the hospital.
When they reached the intersection outside the hospital, Chi Enen stopped him, “Mr. Han, it’s okay to stop here, I’ll walk the rest myself.”
She still remembered how Li Beijue reacted the last time he bumped into her walking with Han Qifeng; she didn’t want to provoke unnecessary trouble.
“No need, Mr. Li has come to pick you up.” Xi Zelie raised his eyebrows and looked ahead, slowly driving forward, the headlights of the Rolls-Royce illuminating the person ahead. Because of the backlight, he couldn’t see the person’s face clearly, but he could clearly see the figure of the person in front!
Broad shoulders, narrow waist, long legs; even just a silhouette in the light, it exuded a strong oppressive aura. Full of nobility!
Who else could it be if not Li Beijue?
Li Beijue said he would wait for her and he really did come out to wait for her — not just come out, but actually waited at the hospital intersection, as if he had anticipated early that she would ask to be stopped at the intersection, not at the hospital entrance!
Xi Zelie’s gaze firmly locked onto the man in the car headlights and slowly came to a stop.
The car stopped three meters away from a stationary yet forcefully imposing man, who then opened the car door and got out first.
The moment he stepped out of the car, he felt a fierce gaze bearing down on him!
That gaze carried a warning, as if it could pierce right through him!
Indeed, it was the fearful gaze of Lord Li, a mere look that could make one hold their breath.
Xi Zelie ignored the warning gaze on him, turned towards Chi Enen in the car and curved up his lips, his voice smooth, “Enen, we’ve arrived.”
Chi Enen suddenly felt a chilling thrill, she assured herself she hadn’t done anything wrong, which steadied her nerves, then she opened the car door and stepped out.
The moment she got out of the car, she heard the deep, dripping voice of the man opposite, “Chi Enen, come here!”
Those two simple words, as if emanating from hell, carried an icy chill.
Before her body could react, her mind had already tensed up; she just took a step forward when the man three meters away seemed impatient and walked towards her. Reaching her side, he grabbed her wrist forcefully and pulled her towards him, dragging her slightly behind him.
He looked stern and calm, not appearing angry, but Chi Enen could feel the momentary force on her wrist when he grabbed her, heavy as if out of control, which made her uncomfortably furrow her eyebrows.
Xi Zelie noticed her momentarily furrowed eyebrows, his gaze falling on her slightly reddened wrist, his peach blossom eyes unconsciously narrowed.
