“Sorry for the wait.” At the cashier counter, the servant had been waiting for a while, and Chi Enen immediately apologized upon arrival, taking out the room card from her pocket and handing it to the cashier.

“Your total is 36.5 yuan, and you have 999,963.5 yuan remaining in your card. Here’s your receipt, please keep it safe.”

A card for buying groceries still had 990,000 yuan left in it. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Her own card for supporting the family had a pitifully small three-digit balance remaining.

The wealth gap in society was too great, and just thinking about it made Chi Enen feel tortured! She wished she could bite a certain wicked capitalist.

She received the room card from the cashier and put it away carefully, fearing that losing it by accident would mean she couldn’t pay it off even if she sold herself.

Back at home.

Chi Enen stepped out to get some green onions, only to hear him throwing a tantrum in the living room. She couldn’t help but glance over and had to admit that the saying “a man who works seriously is the most handsome” was true.

Li Beijue sat on the sofa, the morning light bathing his sword-like raised eyebrows, and his long and sharp black eyes. His thin lips slightly pursed, his sharply defined features, his tall and slender figure that wasn’t rugged… he resembled a falcon in the night, aloof and lonely yet exuding an air of overwhelming arrogance, an independence that looked down upon the world with force.

“I don’t want to hear reasons, listening to explanations is the job of a kindergarten teacher. I’m giving you three days; if you can’t do it properly by then, you can all roll back to kindergarten!”

That temper…

She shook her head and looked away, opening the refrigerator to take out what she needed.

She used to cook for herself when living overseas. After Baby Chi was born, she had to juggle cooking for Baby Chi and working. She honed the skill of cooking quickly. In less than half an hour, she had prepared two dishes and a soup, and even mixed some radish strips on the side.

“Dinner is ready.”

Li Beijue, drawn by the aroma of the food, closed his notebook and took a seat at the dining table, waiting for Chi Enen to bring him a hot towel to clean his hands.

However, Chi Enen had no idea about the Young Master’s usual habits; she served the hot food on the table, already started scooping rice, and asked with a hint of surprise, “Why aren’t you washing your hands?”

“Immediately!”

Forget it!

He should not have expected this woman to understand what it means to wait on a man!

Li Beijue pursed his thin lips and went off to the washroom in a huff.

“What’s he angry about now…” Chi Enen murmured, confused. She had grown accustomed to Li Beijue’s bad temper, so she didn’t think much of it. After serving him rice, she went back to the kitchen to tidy up.

When she came out after washing her hands, there was an extra bowl of rice on the table, placed at the position next to him.

Li Beijue served her rice?

“What are you dazing for? Come and eat.” Seeing her come out, the man who was dining elegantly raised his falcon-like eyes, his gaze falling on her with the airs of a big master.

Chi Enen snapped back to reality and severely chastised herself in her mind.

Emma, her brain must be malfunctioning from all the recent turmoil.

She was the one buying the groceries and cooking; Li Beijue simply served her some rice, and there she was, absurdly moved by it?

Li Beijue pushed the bowl of rice towards her, “Here, eat up.”

He was of genuine aristocratic descent, brought up with top-level noble education from a young age. He adhered to the principle of ‘eat in silence and sleep without speaking’, eating quietly and elegantly. It was simple home-cooked food, yet in front of him, it seemed to be gilded, exuding an air of nobility.

Chi Enen was indeed hungry and wasn’t being pretentious. She picked up the bowl and began eating.

When Li Beijue put down his chopsticks, she was already scooping her second bowl.

“Chi Enen, are you a pig?”

“Uh…” Chi Enen looked up in confusion.

Li Beijue frowned and glanced at her once, his thin lips briefly pursing, “Forget it.” She can be a pig if that’s what it comes to. After all, he could afford to keep her!

He got up from his chair with elegance, “I’m going to take a bath first.”

Randomly accusing her and then suddenly dropping it, how sick!

Chi Enen thought about what Aunt Wang had told her before and felt even more suffocated silently.

Li Beijue was indeed sick, wasn’t he?

Severe paranoia + explosive temper.

She watched the man’s back as he left, deciding to channel her frustration into her appetite and served herself another meal..
