The emcee hadnât finished speaking when the arrogant man bent over, hoisted the little lady who seemed eager to disappear into his embrace, and, striding out on long, straight legsâ¦
âHandsome guy, you havenât collected your prize yet!â
The emcee, who had never seen contestants who participated in a competition but didnât want the prize, kept shouting from behind.
âHandsome guy, wait a moment. You havenât collected your prize!â
Alas, the people had moved too far away.
As he walked back, he murmured quietly, âWhatâs going on? They donât even want free accommodation at a five-star hotel; truly, thereâs no lack of wonders in this world.â
The women reacted differently from him, all casting envious glances at the coupleâs retreating figures.
âEmma, did you see that? A princess carry. So MANLY, so handsome!â
âSuch a bossy attitude. How can such an extreme species of man possibly exist in the real world? They must be filming a TV drama, right?â
âGive me a man like that, Iâd gladly give up ten years of my life!â
âWho wouldnât want a guy that handsome?â
âExactly.â
Chi Enen was carried all the way back to the hotel.
Huo Yi was already waiting at the hotel doorway. Seeing the two return, he immediately approached them, âMaster Jue, Iâm sorry, it was my negligence.â
âYou know what you should do.â Li Beijue didnât even glance at him, dropped the words emotionlessly, and brushed past him while still holding Chi Enen.
Once they were in the elevator, Chi Enen finally emerged from her ostrich mentality. She squirmed a little and said softly, âLi Beijue, put me down.â
The bossy man acted as if he heard nothing.
She shifted uncomfortably again and said, âI can walk on my own. Please, put me down.â
Though he said âStop acting!â his body honestly held her even tighter and showed no signs of letting go. Impatient, he said, âBehave. Stop fidgeting! Arenât your legs too weak to stand?â
Her legs were weak, but did he have to state it so bluntly? It was so embarrassing to say out loudâ¦
Chi Enenâs cheeks flushed with a mixture of shame and anger, wanting to argue back but fearing that he would say something even more humiliating.
In her mix of conflicted feelings, they reached the Presidential suite on the top floor.
Li Beijueâs index finger swept over the scanner at the door, and the room door opened.
He carried Chi Enen inside, placed her on the bed, and from the walk-in wardrobe, he grabbed a bunch of colorful clothes and threw them at her.
âTake these, pick out something you like to change into.â
âWhatâs this?â
Chi Enen, who got a face full of the tossed clothes, instinctively picked up a piece, examined it up close, and immediately her face turned as red as a monkeyâs butt. With a whoosh, she stuffed the item behind her back.
Li Beijue had actually thrown her a bunch of bikinis!
âWhat are you doing? Hurry up and choose one.â The man, who had gone to make coffee, saw her little movement and frowned threateningly, âIf you donât choose, 1â11 choose for you.â
âWhat do we need to pick these for?â She begrudgingly picked up a white set, slightly less revealing bra, and only then realized that all of these were swimwear. Her eyes lit up, and she asked, âAre you taking me to the seaside?â âJust pick something and stop talking so much!â Li Beijue avoided her sparkling eyes, turned to the side, and said, âAfter youâve chosen, go and change. 1â11 wait for you. Be quick.â
âChange now?â She was slightly surprised.
The man glanced at her impatiently with a harsh tone, âWhen else do you plan to change? Plan to switch while in the water? As long as you can do it, I have no objections.â
He really was planning to take her swimmingâ¦.
