Madam Li's Identity Is Exposed Again!

Chapter 288: Chapter 288: He Came Riding on Stars

The light of day gradually darkened.

The toilet on the 3rd floor office level was chillingly cold, completely deserted.

Chi Enen curled up in the last compartment, her face flushed unnaturally. Her clothes, soaked through, had now dried in the draft. She wrapped her arms around her knees, embracing herself, her hoarse voice now no longer recognizable, “Is there anyone… Is anyone there?”

Wind poured in from the skylight.

Chi Enen clenched her lower lip, shivering from the cold.

With her eyes slightly reddened, she fought against the feeling of being aggrieved, steadying her weak body. With determination, she knocked on the toilet door, “Is anyone there…”

“Can anyone hear me speaking?”

Chi Enen was in a daze, mechanically tapping on the door, trying to make as much noise as possible.

Her mind, however, was in a fog, starting to wander aimlessly—

It’s so late already, I wonder if Baby Chi has gotten home?

Since she didn’t pick him up, surely the kindergarten teacher would have taken him home, right?

Knowing his character, he would most likely have called her. If he found out no one was answering, Baby Chi would probably get angry again.

Remembering the little guy’s indignant and haughty appearance when annoyed, Chi Enen found bittersweet humor in the situation and tugged at the corner of her mouth, only to feel her heart ache again moments later.

…Where could Li Beijue be right now?

Her gaze dimmed as she silently pursed her lips.

He probably wouldn’t return to Yahe Community again, possibly out socializing at this hour, or he might have already returned to the mansion that truly belonged to him.

Chi Enen suppressed the indescribably sour feeling deep in her chest as best as she could, forcing herself to discard all these chaotic emotions and refocused on knocking on the door.

“Is there anyone… Is anyone there?”

“Thud, thud!”

Unsure how much time had passed, just as she felt she could no longer hold on,

suddenly, footsteps sounded from outside.

Chi Enen trembled all over as if she had seen a glimmer of hope amidst despair and, summoning strength from somewhere, shouted loudly, “There’s someone here! Let me out!”

“President Li, there is someone talking in here!”

“Over here.”

“Someone is inside!”

Immediately after, the sound of hurried footsteps approached.

A deep and hoarse male voice urgently came through, “Chi Enen, is it you in there?”

That voice was…

Chi Enen was momentarily dazed.

At this time,

the toilet door was suddenly kicked open from the outside with a bang!

The flashlight beam fell straight onto her face. Chi Enen instinctively raised her hand to shield her eyes but was also unwilling to move her gaze away from the man who had descended like a star, weakly calling out, “Li Beijue?”

Li Beijue had not expected that in just a few hours of absence, this woman would be bullied to such an extent!

Seeing Chi Enen huddled in a corner, with a flushed and haggard face, it felt as if someone had punched him hard in the chest. His noble phoenix eyes unconsciously filled with wrath, and a murderous impulse surged within him!

“President Li, should we call 120 Emergency?” someone asked.

Without even glancing at them, Li Beijue walked emotionlessly towards Chi Enen. Under the astonished gazes of the onlookers, he bent down and scooped the bedraggled little lady into his arms. His handsome face darkening with near murderous intent, yet his voice was incredibly tender as he comforted the person in his embrace, “It’s okay now, Chi Enen, it’s okay. I’m here.”

Chi Enen’s nose tingled, and all her strength shattered in an instant, along with all her grievances, fear, helplessness, and confusion which burst forth at that moment. She let out a sob, fiercely clutching the front of the man’s clothes, and cried.
