The bedroom was still the same as before, but its contents had significantly changed. Chi Enen really didn’t want to lie on the only bed, and with nothing to do, she wandered over to Li Beijue’s desk, picking up a book to flip through randomly.
It was all bird-script that she couldn’t understand.
She tossed the book aside carelessly and scanned the documents sprawling across the desk, which she recognized as acquisition plans of a company.
Indeed, the rich.
Just casually dealing with the acquisition of a company.
Just as she was about to take a closer look, the bathroom door opened—
“What are you doing?”
Chi Enen was startled and quickly averted her gaze, turning around to explain, “I didn’t touch your things, just looked randomly.”
Li Beijue strode over with his long legs, his brow furrowing as his gaze landed on the documents on the desk. He reached out, closed the file, and tossed it to the side before saying, “Where are the disposable towels kept in the house?”
Chi Enen saw his action, and her face burned as if she had been slapped.
She really was just looking randomly and hadn’t made out what was written, only noticing the acquisition solutions. But Li Beijue’s reaction made it seem like she was acting like a thief.
Chi Enen felt choked up inside but didn’t want to show her discomfort. She looked away and said, “The house doesn’t have disposable towels, there’s only a hairdryer.”
Li Beijue took in her reaction.
He cursed inwardly. Damn it!
But the file he reacted so quickly to put away was the acquisition plan of Su’s company; if this woman had seen it, who knows, it might have led to another temper tantrum with him.
That’s why he had moved so fast to put the file away.
Though Li Beijue could tell that Chi Enen was angry, who was he? Since birth, it had always been others who catered to him. It wasn’t in his nature to pander to anyone else.
He realized it, moved his thin lips, but ultimately did not say the words of apology. His expression grew darker…
Chi Enen had mentally prepared herself and adjusted her emotions; then, she proactively found a hairdryer from the drawer and handed it to him.
“This one has a rather low power setting; make do with it for now. I’ll go get a glass of water.”
“Hmm.”
Chi Enen was surprised that he would actually ask her to help with his hair, but she wasn’t a masochist—the less he asked of her, the better. She left quite cheerfully.
After she left, the man with the tense face gripped the hairdryer in his hand, feeling inexplicably irritable—an irritability that almost made him throw the hairdryer to the ground!
He barely managed to control his emotions and, still with a tense face, plugged in the hairdryer and carelessly dried his hair.
By the time Chi Enen finished her water and returned.
She opened the wardrobe, took out a thin quilt, and was about to leave.
Li Beijue’s face turned dark in an instant, and he turned to shut the door, his voice cold as ice as he interrogated her, “Where are you planning to go?” “…You’re going to sleep in the bedroom, aren’t you? I’ll sleep on the sofa.”
It was that same approach of avoiding confrontation with him.
Li Beijue felt as if something was stuck in his chest, causing him great discomfort. He seized the little lady’s chin, lifting it abruptly, his falcon-like eyes penetrating as if they could see right through someone, his thin lips briefly touching hers, “Chi Enen, are you really that naive, or are you pretending to be dumb with me? Can’t you see that tonight, I want to sleep with you!”
He uttered the words so bluntly, Chi Enen couldn’t back away even if she wanted to. Her fingers clenched around the quilt; she remained silent, not speaking or moving.
Li Beijue had no desire to waste words with her. He snatched the quilt from her arms, tossing it onto the bed.. Then, he pulled her up onto the bed—
