âOf course not,â Chi Enen knew his temper and immediately soothed him, then added meaningfully, âMy main concern is that the house is too small and Iâm afraid I canât be a good host, which might put President Li at a disadvantage.â She enunciated each character with particular clarity!
Small as it was, it was still the place she struggled every month to rent with the money she earned! n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Li Beijue might have a low EQ, but that didnât mean he was lacking in IQ. How could he not hear the obvious eviction notice in Chi Enenâs words?
His falcon-like eyes suddenly became shadowed. However, as his gaze fell upon the playful dolls on the sofa, the haze on his face slightly softened. He lifted his chin and said naturally, âSi Chen helped me re-examine the wound.â
ââ¦â Chi Enen waited for him to continue.
Li Beijue locked eyes with her, stressing each word, âHe said the newly torn wound is rather serious and needs someone to take care of it at all times, to help apply medication. Youâre quite good at applying the medicineâ¦â
Chi Enenâs heart skipped a beat, and without thinking, she denied, âIâve never learned nursing, President Li should find someone else.â
Li Beijueâs face, which had just eased, now completely darkened!
What did this woman mean?
He had already condescended to speak to this level, and yet she didnât give him any way of saving face!
The atmosphere in the room instantly became tense.
Chi Enenâs palms were sweating.
She held her ground without showing weakness, pretending not to notice his anger.
After a long wait without seeing her soften, Li Beijue could no longer suppress his temper and said stiffly, âChi Enen, I want you to take care of me, to help me apply medication!â
âIâm not skilled at it⦠Iâm afraid I canât help President Li. With your esteemed status, it would be better to have a professional nurse take care of you.â
This was rejection!
Li Beijue, infuriated to the point of amusement, grabbed her wrist in one swift move, his falcon-like eyes fierce as if seeing something forbidden, he said assertively, âAre you comfortable with other women looking at my body?â
ââ¦â Chi Enen didnât understand what he was angry about. Hadnât Xie Tingting seen his body these past few months?
Her wrist pained her, bringing her back to reality. She bit her lower lip and said, âIâm just worried I wonât take good care of you.â
âIf I say you take good care of me, then you take good care of me!â With these words, he let go of her and sat back down on the sofa, showing no sign of leaving.
Chi Enen glanced at the clock on the wall; it was nearly time for Baby Chi to get out of school. She pursed her lips and decided to be more explicit, âI spent this afternoon shopping with Miss Xieâ¦â
âSo?â The man on the sofa didnât even raise an eyebrow, as if she was discussing a completely irrelevant topic.
Chi Enen gritted her teeth and continued, braving it out, âMiss Xie is very beautiful.â
He already had Xie Tingting. If he really didnât like the idea of a strange female nurse helping him with his medication, he could totally ask Xie Tingting!
This time, Li Beijue looked up, glancing at her indifferently, his falcon-like eyes displaying a bit of impatience, âWhat does it matter if sheâs beautiful? There are plenty of beautiful women out there. Enough, 1 already know about your afternoon schedule; no need to say more. In the future, just inform me in advance if you want to go out with friends.â
Chi Enen couldnât help but widen her eyes in disbelief.
She hadnât expected him to be so shameless!
What did he mean by friends?
Did he really intend to follow the male-supremacist societal norms and consider all his wives and concubines as close sisters?
Li Beijue, oblivious to the storm raging within her, furrowed his brow and commanded like a big master, âChi Enen, Iâm hungry.â
âPresident Liâ¦â
âShut up!â As if knowing what she was about to say, he curtly ordered, âI want to eat the food you cook!â
