Madam Li's Identity Is Exposed Again!

Chapter 2269: Chapter 2278: I Must Be with You Too

”Li Beijue, I know you don’t like me to associate with Xi Zelie, I’ve already tried to avoid it as much as possible. But regarding this matter, I don’t think I was wrong.” Chi Enen’s gaze was candid, ”I haven’t done anything that crosses the boundary of friendship. I know you would be angry, and I considered whether I should hide it from you. But regardless, since I received that phone call, I couldn’t just ignore it.”

In the darkness, the man gripping her wrist increased his strength a bit, ”So what you mean is, you knew I would be angry, yet you still chose to care about him?”

Chi Enen met his eyes, which concealed a flicker of anger, without backing down, ”If solely because I knew you would be angry, I turned a blind eye to the person who saved Nuonuo, I couldn’t do it.”

If she merely disregarded Xi Zelie because Li Beijue was unhappy with her interacting with him despite knowing Xi Zelie’s situation wasn’t great at that moment and cruelly hung up the phone, pretending as if nothing happened, she wouldn’t be herself.

”Li Beijue, if it were you, would you turn a blind eye?”

Didn’t he say before that he owed Xi Zelie a favor and could open up to him anytime if Xi Zelie needed it later?

Chi Enen asked this question forthrightly, causing the man standing above her to press his thin lips tightly.

Chi Enen used the hand he’d released to grasp his hand in return, her bright eyes clear, speaking softly, ”You wouldn’t just ignore it, right? So, similarly, how could I ignore it?”

”...”

Li Beijue’s eyebrows furrowed tightly before relaxing, his pitch-black eyes fixated on her. Although the flames still flickered in his pupils, Chi Enen’s reasonable explanation made his chest feel not as stifled as before.

His tense jawline relaxed slightly, and he was just about to pick up Chi Enen’s slightly cold hand and tuck it into the bed.

Suddenly, his gaze landed on the ring of bruises on the little lady’s slender wrist, instantly tightening his pupils into the size of a needle-tip!

Although the bruise on Chi Enen’s wrist had faded significantly, it was faintly discernible that it was a mark from being gripped by a man.

The one who left the mark was obvious!

The anger that had just subsided in his chest showed signs of resurgence instantly, his thin lips clamped tightly, averting Chi Enen’s eyes, he said coldly, ”I wouldn’t care!”

”...” Liar!

Before Chi Enen could refute him, the person holding her hand released her, turned over, and lay back down beside her.

Though his jaw remained tense, his large hand pulled her into his embrace.

A hand pressed on the back of her head, as if restraining himself, he hoarsely murmured, ”Chi Enen, I’ll let this go for this time. But there won’t be a next time! Next time, regardless of the matter, you must tell me. I only want to be there with you!”

She was somewhat right.

Just because Xi Zelie saved Nuonuo twice, she could not truly leave that man to die.

If she really completely ignored him, she wouldn’t be Chi Enen.

He could concede a step and allow her to take action if necessary. However, there was a condition — he must be present!

”Next time, if I cannot reach you by phone, you won’t get out of bed! For each call I make, you won’t get out of bed for as many days!”

He couldn’t bear to strangle her, nor could he bear to scold her, and it was impossible to send her away to a place that is not developed well like with Huo Yi, as that would only punish himself.

He could only use the simplest, most direct method, to let her know how to maintain distance from other men.
