Not just the old man, but Chi Enen herself was stunned.
His, his, his woman…
Indeed, the scrutinizing gazes around her intensified.
Those in the first row who had daughters were all looking at Chi Enen, as if weighing the significance behind Li Beijue’s statement of acknowledgment.
Chi Enen felt uncomfortable under their stares and was about to tug at his sleeve to ask for a private word.
Li Beijue had already naturally taken her hand, making her the center of attention in front of everyone!
“Chi Enen, this is a retired World War II general of the army, the helmsman of Shenghui Group. His surname is Li. Say hello to uncle,” he said.
Chi Enen was momentarily dazed but instinctively followed his command, greeting the old man who had just spoken with respect, “Hello, Uncle Li.”
After greeting him, she felt that something was off.
This situation seemed too much like a husband introducing his wife to his social connections.
She wasn’t the only one who thought so; others who had been evaluating her worth seemed to share the same thought. The looks they gave her finally contained less scrutiny and more regard.
A woman whom Young Master Li took the effort to introduce, even if she couldn’t become the Young Lady Li, at least she would be a favored woman!
And being a favored woman by Li Beijue meant her worth was extraordinary!
Accepting smiles with good intentions appeared on their faces, but how sincere those smiles were known only to themselves.
“Lieutenant Colonel of the Quan family, Quan You. He came on behalf of his father today,” Li Beijue seemed indifferent to what others thought, as he led Chi Enen by the hand and introduced her one by one.
Chi Enen didn’t dare to oppose him at this moment and could only greet each one. When she reached the youngest man at the end of the first row, she was a little surprised by his youth. Upon hearing the introduction, she suddenly understood; he was standing in for his father. No wonder, she thought, aside from Li Beijue, how could there be another genius so young to climb to such a high position; she greeted him, “Hello, Major General Quan.”
Li Beijue saw her giving Quan You a few extra glances, and for some reason, he felt a sudden annoyance in his chest. It felt like a punch out of the blue, causing him to become irritable all at once!
But he was putting on a front for this woman at the moment; even if he was angry, he couldn’t show it in front of these people just yet.
His falcon-like eyes flickered with flames, as he pinched Chi Enen’s palm imperceptibly harsh.
“Ouch…” Chi Enen winced in pain, involuntarily letting out a cry.
“What’s wrong, Miss Chi?” Quan You asked, startled and kindly.
Chi Enen’s face flushed red with embarrassment. She glanced at the culprit beside her, who showed no response, bit her lip, cursed him in her mind, and forced a smile, “I’m fine, I just accidentally stepped on a stone just now.”
The explanation was too pretentious, but she couldn’t find a better one at the moment and had to let others misunderstand her.
Quan You didn’t dwell on it, realizing, “Oh, that’s what happened.”
“Then Miss Chi, you should be careful when you walk later.”
“Yes, thank you for the reminder.”
“Of course.”
They kept chatting more and more enthusiastically!
Li Beijue felt a surge of rage about to erupt from within!
The air around him grew colder and colder. After Chi Enen finished chatting with Quan You, he suddenly broke in forcefully, interrupting their conversation.
“I have to leave first for something else, see you later at the venue,” he said abruptly.
Quan You didn’t expect him to interject so suddenly, nodded his head, and said calmly, “Okay, see you later.”
After speaking, he didn’t forget there was still a Chi Enen by Li Beijue’s side. His eyes sparkled magnificently, as if filled with the warmth of spring, “Miss Chi, see you later..”
