Madam Li's Identity Is Exposed Again!

Chapter 1836: Chapter 1826: She Really Was Deceived

Chi Enen was forcibly led all the way to the restaurant recommended by Huo Yi.

The restaurant was very modern in its renovation. Whether it was because they arrived early or because Li Beijue had booked the whole place, the spacious restaurant surprisingly only had waiters besides them.

The restaurant mainly focused on selling seafood.

Various upscale seafood dishes and ingredients were displayed in the hall for easy selection.

Chi Enen had no appetite at all now. She casually flipped through the menu and said to the waiter waiting by her side, ”Just give me a seafood porridge.”

”Alright.” The waiter noted it down.

The man across from her was clearly her opposite. She only ordered a seafood porridge, but he ordered a whole bunch with a clatter.

Chi Enen seriously doubted he’d be able to finish even one-third of what he ordered.

However, she didn’t want to bother right now. As he continued ordering, she pulled her chair back, stood up, and said, ”I’m going to the restroom.”

The restaurant, inside and out, was full of waiters, and their table was in a place they would have to pass by to leave. Li Beijue was not worried she would run away. Unless she grew a pair of wings, she couldn’t escape at all.

Chi Enen wasn’t thinking of the exaggerated idea of running away; she was just still upset about being deceived.

She went to the restroom and washed her face with cold water.

The icy cold water splashed on her face, and her mind cleared up drastically in an instant. The remnants of fear, worry, and dread disappeared significantly, but her heart still trembled slightly due to the earlier shock.

Chi Enen extended her hand and looked down at it.

The tips of her fingers were still trembling, though subtly, but she clearly remembered how during driving, her hands trembled so much that she almost couldn’t hold onto the steering wheel.

Her mind kept wondering why he got into a car accident, how he was doing, whether he was hurt, how serious the injury was. Huo Yi had called her; did that mean he was hurt really badly?

Her mind was a mess at the time, with only one thought—see him!

She rushed over in a panic, only to find out he was perfectly fine! From start to finish, he had treated her like a monkey performing tricks!

Anyone would be angry in such a situation.

Chi Enen grew angrier the more she thought about it, feeling more frustrated.

Why did she have to accompany him to dinner? Was she out of her mind?

At this time.

A voice came from the corridor at the restroom doorway, ”Miss Chi.”

Chi Enen quickly turned off the faucet and hid her hand, preventing others from seeing her still trembling fingertips. She raised her head to look at the person in the corridor, ”Huh? What’s the matter?”

She walked out, feeling confused.

Huo Yi’s face was full of guilt as he bent down suddenly, bowing to her in apology, ”Miss Chi, I’m sorry. I lied just now.”

”...”

Huo Yi raised his head, feeling that Master Jue’s lie had not fooled Miss Chi. He weighed his options and decided to find Chi Enen and speak the truth, ”The car accident involving Master Jue was a lie to Miss Chi. Sorry, Miss Chi.”

”...That’s alright.” Chi Enen was already aware that she had been deceived, so she wasn’t particularly surprised to hear Huo Yi confess.

Huo Yi could tell from her reaction that he had guessed right, Miss Chi had indeed figured it out. He opened his mouth to explain apologetically, ”Miss Chi, I know you’re surely very angry right now. Master Jue didn’t mean to deceive you; he just heard that tonight you were going to have a date with Young Master Lie, and panicked, so he came up with this idea.”
