Madam Li's Identity Is Exposed Again!

Chapter 1837: Chapter 1827: Are You a Snail?

Chi Enen furrowed her eyebrows.

When did she agree to a date with Xi Zelie? And where did Li Beijue hear this false news?

”Miss Chi, I hope you can accompany Master Jue to eat a little later. He’s not lying about his stomach pain! Ever since Master Jue returned from Ryukyu, he hasn’t been eating well. You’re aware of his stomach issues, and since he hasn’t been eating on time lately, his stomach condition has worsened. This morning, Young Master Si dragged him out for drinks, and he rushed back here. His stomach and body are almost at their limit.”

Huo Yi decided to play the emotional card.

”I know Master Jue and Miss Chi have already broken up, and Miss Chi has no obligation to care if Master Jue lives or dies. But he’s truly been suffering lately. Please, for the sake of the Little Young Master and Little Miss, have mercy on Master Jue just this once.”

With him saying this much, what else could Chi Enen say?

If she insisted she was still angry, it would seem inhumane.

Chi Enen returned from the restroom to the restaurant. Huo Yi had already arrived before her, standing neatly behind Li Beijue, as if nothing had happened.

However, Chi Enen still felt his gaze on her was filled with a plea.

She took a deep breath, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

The table already had several dishes on it, and in front of her was a beautifully crafted bowl of seafood porridge.

As Chi Enen picked up the spoon, the man across from her habitually complained, ”Are you a snail? It took you almost half an hour to go to the restroom.”

His tone was so familiar, as if they never broke up.

Chi Enen paused for a second, thinking of what Huo Yi said, she suppressed the anger in her throat and said calmly, ”I only took less than ten minutes. There’s a fundamental difference between ten minutes and half an hour, so it wasn’t almost half an hour.”

After saying that, she started eating her seafood porridge.

Li Beijue was momentarily stunned by her retort, then furrowed his eyebrows, about to rebut. But when he saw her calm face, he seemed to recall something. His eyebrows furrowed even more tightly, but the words on the edge of his lips were swallowed back. He picked up the tableware beside him, his handsome face still showing frustration, but his dining actions were elegant and noble.

Chi Enen glanced at him strangely, a bit surprised that he didn’t lose his temper today as he usually did.

Normally, if she argued back, he’d already have thrown a fit, kicking tables and stools like a child.

This time he held back?

Did the sun rise from the west, or is he guilty about lying earlier?

She was curious, but not foolish enough to ask.

She quietly bowed her head and continued eating her seafood porridge.

It must be said, the restaurant Huo Yi recommended had great flavors. The seafood porridge was perfectly thick, retaining the fresh aroma of seafood. The shrimp meat and glutinous rice blended harmoniously. She originally intended to just accompany and eat a bit, but ended up finishing quite a lot.

Li Beijue ate even more than she did.

As if he hadn’t eaten to his fill in a long time, rapidly consuming over half the dishes on the table before putting down the tableware, elegantly wiping the corner of his mouth. He said to her, ”Are you full? If you are, let’s leave.”

Chi Enen had finished eating a while ago and was just keeping him company. Hearing this, she immediately stood up.
