Chi Enen deliberately forced herself to ignore the feelings in her heart, calming down to avoid any misunderstandings blowing up, she immediately explained, “I was just too hot, so I opened the window to get some air.”
“Just to get some air?” Li Beijue clearly didn’t believe her.
As soon as he had opened the door, he had seen this woman standing in front of the window, lost in thought, the moonlight illuminating her figure as if she were about to flee.
This is the seventh floor- if she wanted to escape, the only way out would be down!
The thought of her potentially jumping sent his emotions spiralling out of control!
“I really was just getting some air!” Chi Enen emphasized the words “getting some air,” almost swearing that was all she was doing.
Li Beijue scrutinized her for two minutes, then released the hands pressing on her shoulders, still looking rather upset. He turned and walked out, “Go take a bath.”
Chi Enen adjusted her mood and followed him out of the secondary bedroom.
There was no one else in the living room- the others, including Huo Yi, must have left. The house was spotless, not in the least disorder. It was clear that the people he called were very careful and meticulous.
It wasn’t until Chi Enen entered the master bedroom that she realized what Li Beijue had people do.
The bed linens on her bed had been completely changed for new ones—a silk, ultra-luxurious duvet cover draped over her 1.8-meter bed, looking oddly out of place.
In addition to the new bed linens, there was now an office desk in her room.
Atop it was a large stack of files and a laptop was set up— it was immediately clear whose office desk it was.
Li Beijue was still upset about the earlier incident and was ignoring her, walking straight to the office desk, scowling as he picked up a file to read….
Chi Enen didn’t dare disturb him, she took out her change of underwear from the wardrobe. Just then, she heard the man’s somber voice behind her, “Your pajamas are in the wardrobe, get them yourself.”
“Oh.”
Chi Enen opened the wardrobe and was immediately dumbstruck!
Inside the wardrobe, there were not only her pajamas but also several unrecognized top A-list brand suits.
But only a third of the space had her clothes, the remaining two-thirds were filled with the man’s items.
Chi Enen turned around, a bit at a loss, “Li….”
Li Beijue had already returned to his work, not showing any intention of paying attention to her.
Feeling rebuffed, Chi Enen closed the wardrobe door and retrieved her originally bought pajamas from the corner. Clutching the pajamas and her underwear, she headed into the bathroom.
The two-bedroom apartment she rented had a bathroom which was actually just the restroom with a laundry area. It was only about iomA2 and barely had enough space for one to stand after fitting in the washing machine and basin.
She placed her new clothes in the washing machine and covered them, to prevent them from getting wet later while she showered. Then she took off her clothes and turned on the showerhead.
The warm shower water immediately began to pour out.
Chi Enen thoroughly washed herself with body wash, and in the process, tried to clear her head and sort out her thoughts.
Unusually, she spent half an hour in the shower, dried herself off afterward, and changed into clean underwear and pajamas.
After changing, she washed her face and brushed her teeth. Once done, she pulled open the door and stepped out.
Right after exiting, she bumped into the person at the doorway.
Li Beijue gazed down at her indifferently, his thin lips pressed together, “I thought tonight you might fall into the bathroom.”
How would she fall into the bathroom for no reason? Chi Enen quickly regained her composure and realized he was being sarcastic. He was still upset about the incident before, and with both annoyance and amusement, she said, “The toilet is so small, I wouldn’t fit even if I tried..”
