Madam Li's Identity Is Exposed Again!

Chapter 1037: Chapter 1037: The Ghastly Longevity Noodles

”Uh...” The servant hesitated for a moment and glanced at Li Beijue.

Master Jue didn’t speak, leaving her uncertain whether she should proceed...

Chi Enen’s bright eyes darkened as she emphasized her tone, ”I want you to call the doctor immediately! Right now! As soon as possible! The sooner, the better!”

Normally, she had a gentler and more rational demeanor, but in this moment, her commanding presence carried an irresistible force.

The servant gritted her teeth, ”Yes, Miss Chi.”

Li Beijue resisted the idea of calling a doctor, furrowing his brow. Just as he was about to speak, Chi Enen shot him a domineering glare, ”You’re not allowed to talk right now!”

Her anger was already boiling inside; if he said something that provoked her further, she might explode on his birthday.

She grabbed the cold wrist of the tall, striking man and headed upstairs...

Click—

The second floor room door swung open on cue.

Without a word, Chi Enen set aside the thousand paper cranes and pushed him into the bathroom, retrieving a fresh bathrobe and towel from the walk-in wardrobe. She handed them over, saying, ”Li Beijue, dry off the excess water on your body first. For the rest, I’ll try to help you before the doctor arrives.”

Her hand, holding the bathrobe and towel, lingered mid-air for a long time without being taken. The next second, her whole body was abruptly pulled forward, pressed into a firm and fiery chest.

The intense scent of male hormones mixed with the fragrance of mint and a faint trace of alcohol wafted to her nose. Chi Enen’s temple throbbed suddenly.

Alcohol...?

Li Beijue actually drank?

She was already angry at him for ignoring his injuries and recklessly braving the rain to retrieve the thousand paper cranes. Now her fury was nearly uncontrollable. Furrowing her willow-like brows, she looked up, ”Li...”

A handsome face instantly loomed over hers, and his thin, crimson lips—so red it was as if he was asking for a kiss—sealed her lips in an instant. His soft lips pressed against hers, capturing her lower lip as his fiery tongue swept through her lips and teeth, forcefully prying them open. His left hand hooked the back of her head, leaving her no chance to retreat as he deepened the kiss...

After the searing kiss, Li Beijue let her go and pulled her back to the room’s adjoining restaurant. His thin lips curved upward, his mood evidently high as he casually surveyed the sumptuous dinner spread across the table. He asked, ”Chi Enen, what are these?”

”...” She was so preoccupied with the fact that his clothes were wet that she had forgotten all about the ”surprise” on the table. She didn’t even know if it was past 12 o’clock yet.

Chi Enen couldn’t see her watch, so she took a deep breath, suppressing the tingling sensation on her lips, and looked into his eyes, sincerely saying, ”Li Beijue, happy birthday!”

”I didn’t have time to prepare a birthday gift for you, so I made you a table of dishes. You...” Her gaze glanced over the dining table to the food, and her eyes landed on the longevity noodles that had now turned into a soggy mess, filling her with a headache. ”You’ll have to make do. I’ll make it up to you next time with a proper birthday surprise.”

She had planned everything for a surprise celebration.

But the ’Star River’ surprise made from thousand paper cranes turned into a fright, the longevity noodles ended up as a mushy mess, and he himself was drenched to the bone. The situation couldn’t possibly be worse.

Thinking back to the surprises Li Beijue had prepared for her on her birthday, she realized how much she fell short in comparison to him.

Li Beijue noticed the little lady’s embarrassed expression as she stared at the ruined longevity noodles. His handsome pupils narrowed slightly. Suddenly, he released her hand, took a few long strides forward, pulled out a chair, and sat down. Elegantly, he picked up the chopsticks and placed the disfigured bowl of longevity noodles in front of himself. As if oblivious to how much of a mess the noodles were, he took a big bite.
