Chapter 442: Chapter 442: Knead Her into My Bones

Chi Enen felt that discussing these matters under such circumstances was too awkward. She shifted quietly, but at his abrupt question, she reflexively answered, “Wasn’t it you who stormed out and slammed the door?”

“Before I slammed the door, you were already ignoring me!” Li Beijue clenched his teeth and gripped her waist tightly, forbidding her to move. If she kept moving, he feared he would lose the mood to talk to her properly and would only want to make her pass out!

Chi Enen felt extremely wronged and quickly said, “I didn’t ignore you. I just saw that you were upset, and I didn’t want to argue over the same issue three times, so I wanted to get you a cup of water first. I was going to explain everything to you after you’d calmed down. But the moment I turned around, you stormed out…”

“So you didn’t plan to ignore me?”

“No.”

“You weren’t giving me the cold shoulder because of another man?”

“…No.”

“Why didn’t you come to find me? Why did you only agree to come after Huo Yi went to beg you?” He hadn’t cared about this before, but at this moment, he suddenly did.

Chi Enen pressed her lips together, her eyes showing extreme embarrassment, and yet she had to discuss this with him now. Her cheeks flushed with both humiliation and grievance, “You had already slammed the door and left, what if you refused to see me if I came looking for you?”

Li Beijue really wanted to say, how would you know for sure that I wouldn’t see you if you never came to find out?

But recalling that he had indeed not seen her just before, he swallowed his words! However, receiving an answer he dared not even hope for, the frustration festering in his heart for a month dissipated, and his mood suddenly improved—Chi Enen liked him, it wasn’t just because of the child that she reluctantly stayed with him, nor was it pretending to like him, she truly liked him!

Nothing could please him more than this!

All his bad moods from this period were swept away!

He could no longer contain himself and ‘melded’ the person beneath him into his marrow…

…

When Chi Enen came back to her senses, it was already growing dark outside.

She moved her body and realized it was fresh and clean, as if she had already taken a bath. She wasn’t in the kitchen anymore, but lying on the sofa in Li Beijue’s office.

Chi Enen blinked her eyes.

As her consciousness gradually returned, so did those intense images.

She propped herself up and called out, “Li Beijue…”

She realized her throat was hoarse only after calling out.

But soon, a tall and handsome man approached her— who else could it be but Li Beijue?

“Awake?”

“Mhm,” Chi Enen nodded, her throat felt dry, “Li Beijue, I need to drink water.”

“Wait here.” The man quickly turned to pour her a cup of water and handed it to her.

Chi Enen took the water cup, gulping down most of it, finally feeling a bit better. She rubbed her throbbing temples and, setting down the cup, asked, “How long have I slept?”

“Are you asking from when you passed out or from when I finished?”

Passed out…

Finished…

Even though Chi Enen was used to his frank way of speaking, she still felt a bit embarrassed.

“Either one… ”

“From when you passed out, two hours and twenty minutes, and from when I finished, one hour and forty minutes.”

Chi Enen wasn’t foolish enough to ask what he was doing during the forty-minute difference and quietly shut her mouth.

Her cheeks were a pinkish hue of cute, and Li Beijue almost wished to have her again. Struggling to look away and with an arrogant demeanor, he said casually, “The hospital has already fired Han Qifeng, it’s impossible for them to let him come back immediately. I’ve spoken to Huo Yi, and I’ve asked him to arrange a similar position at another hospital for Han Qifeng. Whether he takes it or not is up to him, but from now on, you’re not allowed to mention his name again.”
