âEnen, you just woke up?â Qin Nan felt a bit embarrassed.
âMmm.â Chi Enenâs voice was still muffled and slightly husky. She rubbed her temples and looked around the bedroom groggily, only to realize that she was the only one left in the room; Li Beijue had left at some point. âSister Nan, is something the matter?â
âEnen, were you bullied by Wei Ting and the others yesterday?â Although Qin Nan was embarrassed, her gossip fire hadnât died down at all.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
She was really bursting to know the truth.
âWei Ting? I was indeed locked in the toilet yesterday afternoon shortly before work ended, but I donât know who did it. What about it?â
As she expectedâ¦
Qin Nan felt a sense of âI knew itâ and decisively told Chi Enen, âIt must have been her doing!â
âThis morning, President Li came to our office level. In front of more than two hundred people, he had security guards lock Wei Ting and her gang in the toilets with a few buckets of ice water for each. He even said to fire them if they lasted 6 hours! Even more impressively protective, President Li said heâd make sure that group couldnât get by in Capital City. And in front of everyone, he declared you were his woman!â
âEnen, you didnât see how cool and powerful President Li was at that moment! If I didnât have your Brother Wang, damn, I might have fallen for someone else!â
She continued raving about Li Beijue nonstop.
Yet Chi Enen was dazedâ
Li Beijue had gone to the company to clean up Wei Ting and the others for her? And he took revenge on her behalf? He even told everyone about their relationship?
To say she wasnât thrilled would be a lie.
Chi Enen felt sweet inside, cherished with a sense of being protected.
After chatting with Qin Nan for a few moments, she hung up the phone. Then she threw off the quilt and sat up.
On the sofa lay several sets of womanâs clothes, including a dress, as well as jeans and shirtsâall in the simple styles she preferred.
One glance and she knew who had prepared them!
Chi Enen chose a shirt and jeans to wear, brushed her teeth, washed her face, and went downstairs.
âMiss Chi, good morning,â greeted Huo Yi, who was busy downstairs. When he saw her coming down, he warmly said hello,
âGood morning,â Chi Enen replied with a slight smile.
Huo Yi, grinning from ear to ear, told her, âMaster Jue has gone to the company. He instructed me to take good care of Miss Chi. He also said that you donât need to go to work today, as he will help you call in sick.â
Li Beijue was the CEOâwho was he supposed to call in for her? Fatty Fish?
Chi Enen imagined the scene of him calling in sick for her with Fatty Fish and found it unexpectedly amusing.
Given Fatty Fishâs timid and frightful nature, heâd probably end up sweating bullets.
Huo Yi saw her lowered gaze and the laughter at the corner of her mouth and knew she must be thinking of some funny incident. He didnât disturb her, standing respectfully to one side.
When Chi Enen came back to her senses, Huo Yi reminded her, âMiss Chi, please have some breakfast first.â
âOh, okay, sure,â said Chi Enen, her cheeks tinged red with a touch of embarrassment.
Huo Yi chuckled quietly, dutifully pulling out a chair for her at the dining table.
â¦
She had just finished breakfast.
Then Huo Yiâs phone rang.
Picking up the mobile phone, he glanced at her, and answered, âHello, Master Jue.â
He looked at Chi Enen again, his tone light and with a smile, âYes, Miss Chi has woken up and just finished breakfast⦠Mhm⦠Miss Chi seems to be in good spirits, her fever should have lowered.â
It was Li Beijue!
Chi Enenâs heartbeat involuntarily quickened a little.
ââ¦Alright, Master Jue, one moment, Iâll hand the phone to Miss Chi.â Huo Yi passed the mobile phone to her.
