Madam Li's Identity Is Exposed Again!

Chapter 319: Chapter 319: The Man Who Took Her to the Heights

Chi Enen helped drag the hot-air balloon to the edge of the peak of the mountain. After getting to the foot of the mountain, Li Beijue brought out an air blower from inside the cabin and began inflating the balloon. Soon, the balloon swelled up, its canopy adorned with a rainbow of colors dazzling to the eye.

Li Beijue ignited the central burner, and as the hot-air balloon started to rise, he lifted Chi Enen into it and then with an agile leap, he joined her inside. Next, he turned on the balloon’s fan, and the hot-air balloon at the foot of the mountain lifted off into the air—

The sunset below, the entire scenery of Rainy City was in full view.

As they were affected by the wind speed and the fan on the balloon, they drifted over the dense row of skyscrapers. Chi Enen had never flown so high nor seen such a distinctive view; she leaned over the edge of the hot-air balloon, unable to describe her feelings of grandeur at that moment.

“Do you like it?”

Without turning her head, Chi Enen nodded vehemently, “I love it.”

The wind played with her long hair, and Li Beijue gazed at the little lady who finally showed a genuine smile, his thin lips involuntarily curling up.

After Chi Enen had her fill of the view below, something seemed to dawn on her, and she suddenly turned around to ask him, “Li Beijue, how do you know how to operate a hot-air balloon? And is that cabin on the mountain yours?”

What was this woman implying?

Li Beijue felt a little irked, “What’s so strange about me operating a hot-air balloon? I can even assemble an AKB sniper rifle!”

“…” Right, right, how could she have forgotten he was Li Beijue!

Chi Enen decided to ignore the foolish question she had just asked, “So, that cabin on the mountain, it’s yours, huh?”

“How would I have opened it if it wasn’t mine?” How did he end up with such a foolish woman? Though Li Beijue verbally expressed disdain, he felt a contradictory sense of pride deep down. Why was it that Chi Enen was even cute when acting silly? It had to be because she was the one he favored!

“What I mean is, how come you have a cabin on the mountain?” Chi Enen, being disparaged twice in a row, almost couldn’t keep face and reframed her question.

Li Beijue glanced at her, took a bite on her lip, and then lifted his head to look at the scenery below, casually remarking, “When I was a teenager, I was bored and had it built.”

How bored must he have been as a teenager to have someone build a wooden house on the top of a mountain, and to keep a hot-air balloon in it?

Chi Enen wasn’t foolish. Linking this with what Li Beijue told her when they were climbing the peak, she already had an idea of the answer in her heart.

It probably wasn’t out of boredom, but rather out of feeling down that he often came to climb the mountain to vent. He must have learned to operate the hot-air balloon as a teenager too.

Chi Enen felt an inexplicable pang of heartache. Just how troubled must a teenager’s heart be to desperately expend his physical strength to vent, and then wander high above the city in a hot-air balloon all by himself?

She always felt that Li Beijue back then was even lonelier and less happy than she had imagined!

She pursed the corners of her mouth and suddenly stretched out her hand, silently gripping the man’s hand, as if offhandedly saying, “You won’t be bored in the future, you have me and Baby Chi.”

Li Beijue’s gaze snapped towards her, deep and intense, as if to absorb her into him!

Chi Enen, feeling uncomfortable under his stare, added dryly, “I mean, if you have spare time, you could spend more time with Bae Chi. He really likes you. It’s just that he’s been too embarrassed to get close to you after what happened last time…”
