Chapter 716: Chapter 716: Big Sister is Being Held by Someone

Li Beijue’s pupils, dark as midnight, deepened as he took a long look at her. His thin lips pressed tightly together, he said nothing.

Just as Chi Enen was anxiously wondering if he was still angry, suddenly, he bent down, lifted her in his arms, and with long strides, headed upstairs.

“Ah.” Her body suddenly lifted into the air, Chi Enen was startled.

The man holding her either deliberately or accidentally loosened his grip at that moment, prompting her to reflexively extend her hands, hooking them around the man’s neck.

The moment she latched on, the arms holding her steadied once more.

“Which floor?”

“What?” She blurted out, then instantly realized, “6204.”

Li Beijue, holding her, arrived at the elevator and issued an impatient command, “Press the floor!”

“Li Beijue, put me down.”

“Don’t make me repeat myself twice.” He was still as tyrannical and forceful as ever.

Chi Enen knew this man’s temperament too well and was completely helpless against him. She could only let him carry her while she struggled to stretch her hand out to press the elevator button.

Even though her skin had grown much thicker over the past year, she couldn’t help but feel relieved now that they were alone in the elevator. Otherwise, if anyone had seen her like this. She would have been truly…

When you’re down on your luck, it seems even drinking cold water might lodge between your teeth.

She had just finished feeling grateful when the sound of a door opening and a card swiping came from the entrance of the building.

Following that, a family of three walked in, talking and laughing.

The woman exclaimed, “Your company’s annual meeting this year was really well done. The filet mignon was especially delicious.”

“Of course, the company specially hired a Michelin chef. It’s bound to taste good. Some day I’ll take you and Peach to a Michelin restaurant,” the man’s voice was filled with laughter.

“Husband, you’re so good.”

In the midst of their sweet moment, a crisp child’s voice cut in, “Mommy, I want a hug.”

“We’re almost home, Peach. Let’s not hug right now,” the woman gently persuaded the little girl, and the family of three made their way to the elevator entrance.

As they passed by, they saw a tall, handsome man who didn’t even spare them a glance as he held the person in his arms, as if he was holding the whole world, with outside people and events seemingly irrelevant to him, emanating a distant, noble aura that kept others at bay.

Those who could live here either owned their own companies or were executives of big companies. They were generally people of higher quality and more worldly experience.

Therefore, even though the man and woman didn’t know Li Beijue’s identity, they could sense his powerful aura and had already labeled him as a person of significant stature. They involuntarily stopped their conversation and maintained a quiet demeanor.

But the child didn’t understand these subtleties. She only saw a handsome “Big Brother” holding a “Big Sister.” She immediately tugged at her mommy’s clothes and cooed pleadingly, “Mommy, the big sister is going home and someone is holding her; I want to be held too.”

“Peach, it’s because the big sister hurt her foot,” the woman quickly reacted, finding an excuse to ease the situation.

“Oh~” in a milky voice, “That’s why the big sister is being carried.”

Children say the darndest things, and Chi Enen felt so embarrassed she wished she could crawl into a crevice in the ground. Her cheeks flushed, she whispered in a low voice, pleading, “Li Beijue, put me down.”

Her request, as trivial as a tickle, was completely ignored.

At this time.

Ding—

The elevator door opened.

The cold-faced man was the first to enter the elevator with her in his arms, while the family of three did not follow.
