“Not there?” Sheng Aiyi’s voice, full of astonishment, came from outside.
She had watched as Chi Enen and Li Beijue left one after another. As she sat in the private room, the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was off, prompting her to follow and look for them. Not finding Li Beijue in the corridor outside, she remembered Chi Enen mentioning she was going to the restroom, so she decided to try and look for Enen there.
Chi Enen was ‘not’ in the restroom.
Young Master Jue was also not outside.
The two of them…
Sheng Aiyi felt a sinking feeling in her heart.
In fact, she had felt that there was something unusual between them from the moment Young master Jue coincidentally met Chi Enen on the set. Her female sixth sense told her that there was a story between the two.
She had considered asking Li Beijue directly, but in all honesty, their relationship was just the result of a match made by the older generation of both families. After all, it was the Sheng family who wanted to climb up to the Li family.
Li Beijue himself had never shown any intention of being with her.
But this was Li Beijue, the man every woman around the world dreamt of marrying! She was certainly no exception!
Sheng Aiyi stamped her foot and knocked on the door of the last occupied compartment, “Enen, is it you?”
“Occupied!”
The voice was anxious, with a clear out-of-town accent, clearly not Chi Enen’s voice.
Sheng Aiyi bit her lower lip, her complexion turning ugly, “Sorry to disturb you.”
Having said that, she hurriedly left.
In the toilet.
Chi Enen suddenly let out a sigh of relief, and nearly collapsed.
Dammit, that scared her to death.
She hadn’t expected Sheng Aiyi to be so persistent as to knock on the door. Luckily, she reacted quickly.
“So you’re that afraid of being discovered? I thought you were fearless,” Li Beijue observed her reaction, his tone mocking, “Chi Enen, you weren’t like this last night.”
The roughness of the man’s fingertips as they rubbed against her skin felt like the burning touch of fire.
Chi Enen’s face flushed with an unprecedented sense of shame, she fiercely suppressed the low moan in her throat, and glared at him, “Last night, I was just drunk and fooling around with friends. If I upset you, I apologize here.”
“Apologize?” His voice was playful and cold.
“Yes, sorry. My apologies.”
If only she had known life is full of unexpected encounters, and she would bump into her ex-boyfriend, she would never have agreed to Lin Anxin’s ridiculous Uniqlo video idea.
Better to just surrender and admit defeat.
Li Beijue’s falcon-like eyes locked onto her, as if he was scrutinizing a prisoner, his thin lips coming together slightly, “You owe me more than just an apology.”
“Five years ago, you clung to me, wanting to get married. Just as I was preparing our wedding, why did you suddenly disappear?”
“…”
Because…
“I’ll say it for you. Because you took the 5 million breakup fee from that woman.” He enunciated every word, his teeth gritted with anger, “Chi Enen, you’re really something! You even know how to bargain over a breakup fee. She offered you one million, and you knew I was worth more than that, and you didn’t let go until it was increased fivefold.”
Years ago, he didn’t know that such shameless and ruthless women existed in this world!
He thought this woman couldn’t live without him, so he went against his family’s wishes and agreed to marry her, and yet, she slapped him hard in the face! She actually took his damn money and ran off! If his mother hadn’t recorded everything, he would never have believed that the Chi Enen he thought was greedy and vain was the same pure and conservative Chi Enen.
She had played him with a snap of her fingers, breaking it off unilaterally, and even dared to come back carrying another man’s child.
Great, that’s so typical of Chi Enen!
“Did you enjoy spending the 5 million?”
“…”
“Heading back to work so soon, did you already spend all the money?”
Chi Enen’s face paled, her fists clenched tightly, she lifted her chin to meet his gaze, “Yes, I spent it all.”
Lightning seemed to flicker in the depths of Li Beijue’s eyes, a storm brewing!
“You don’t need to look at me like that; it might make me misunderstand that you still have feelings for me,” Chi Enen’s heart convulsed, but she retorted, “I didn’t take your money for nothing. Given your status, sponsoring a university student would cost more than that just in houses and cars, right? Besides, I think I had a pretty good time playing with Young Master Jue those years, so I don’t consider that money unearned.”
She could actually stand in front of him and shamelessly speak about her past misdeeds!
In her eyes, his interest back then was just having a good time as a boss!
SHIT!
Li Beijue punched the wall!
With a ‘bang,’ Chi Enen reflexively turned her head away, her eyes wide in panic as she looked at him.
Li Beijue’s fist was still bleeding, he curled his lips in a semblance of a smile, a smile that didn’t reach his eyes. Reaching out, he grabbed Chi Enen’s chin as if appraising merchandise, lifting it up, “Since you’ve spent it all, how about making some more?”
“…What do you mean?”
With his personality, wasn’t he supposed to just throw her out right away?
From then on, to not even spare her a glance, right?
Li Beijue restrained her hands and pressed them above her head. His other large hand slowly made its way under the hem of her clothes, touching her.
“You’re right, I do have feelings left for you.”
Chi Enen was suddenly jolted!
The next second, ice water was poured over her head.
“I have feelings left for your body. Since you’re willing to sell, how about I buy it to have my fun?”
