Madam Li's Identity Is Exposed Again!

Chapter 524 -524: Can’t you see that I am jealous?

“Yes.” Compared to the surprise of others, the attendant standing behind Quan Dongting was much simpler, immediately obeying the command to prepare the contract.

Soon, two copies of the contract were drafted.

Li Beijue signed one with a flourish, while Quan Dongting took out an ancient, mellow jade carved seal from the carved ancient box and stamped it on the document.

After exchanging the contracts and allowing both parties’ lawyers to confirm there were no errors, Quan Dongting took the lead and extended his hand, elegant and composed, “President Li, nice collaboration.”

Li Beijue, despite not wanting to shake hands with him, still extended his, in a symbolic gesture, “Nice collaboration.”

…

After seeing Quan Dongting off,

Li Beijue pressed his thin lips together, shook off a swarm of people chirping about contract follow-up matters, and, striding with long legs, returned to the Office of the President.

Chi Enen was waiting in the Office of the President, drowsy, and finally, hearing the sound of the door, she subconsciously stood up. Seeing it was Li Beijue, she rubbed her eyes, her voice still tinged with sleepiness, “Has the meeting ended?”

Li Beijue, with a stern face, pulled her into his embrace and bit her neck, his tone displeased, “Chi Enen, why did Duke Habsden bring you coffee earlier?”

By rights, this woman should not know Quan Dongting. Yet the detail of Quan Dongting bringing Chi Enen coffee had piqued his interest significantly.

“Do you know each other?”

What Habsden? Chi Enen blinked twice, unable to remember the cumbersome name, but she realized who he was talking about and nodded, “Met twice.”

Chi Enen actually knew Duke Habsden? Li Beijue’s eyebrows furrowed deeply, overcome with an inexplicable sense of crisis, he couldn’t help squeezing her wrist, “Where did you meet him?”

“Just ran into him on the road twice, but we hardly talked. I don’t even know his name, and he doesn’t know mine…” Chi Enen, though slow on the uptake, still sensed his jealousy, adding quickly, “He helped me with the coffee probably because he happened to see me coming out with two cups and thought it was inconvenient for me alone, so he just lent a hand.”

Given the wealth of the Habsden family and the identity of Quan Dongting, he didn’t believe him to be so friendly and helpful.

Yet he believed what Chi Enen said.

The worlds and environments that Quan Dongting and Chi Enen lived in were too different for them to have any social interaction.

If there were any interactions, he would have known about it before.

His brows were so furrowed they could kill a fly.

Could it really be that Quan Dongting suddenly felt an impulsive burst of benevolence?

“Where on the road did you run into him?”

Why was he still asking; she had already said it was just a coincidence they met twice, “On the way to the hospital for a medical checkup.”

“Why would you run into him on the way to the hospital for a checkup?” The duke of the Habsden family wasn’t usually so easy to encounter.

“…” It was just an accident where playful children knocked her onto the road, and she almost got hit by a car. These kinds of incidents don’t have a why.

“Why aren’t you saying anything?”

Chi Enen couldn’t stand it anymore, her bright eyes turned towards him, retorting, “Are you interrogating me?” She had said it was a coincidence, they had met twice, and neither knew the other’s name, what more was there to explain?

He had just asked a few questions, and this woman actually had the nerve to talk back; had she mustered the courage of a bear and leopard? Li Beijue glared at her, and Chi Enen glared back, their gazes clashing mid-air.

Damn!

Li Beijue was the first to back down, bending down and, as if to vent his frustration, nipped her lip. Only then did his falcon-like eyes lock onto her, grinding his teeth, “Can’t you see I’m jealous!”
