    Police Station.


    Chi Enen was held in a separate small room for detention, where a young female police officer urged her impatiently.


    “Miss Chi, please hurry up and call your family to bail you out. I have other work to deal with and can’t waste time with you,” the officer said.


    Chi Enen, handcuffed, sat disheveled in the chair.


    That woman was connected with the higher-ups; as soon as she arrived at the police station, the officers pped her with an assault charge without a second thought. If she couldn’t find someone to bail her out, she would be detained for five days.


    Normally, it would have been easy to get bailed out, but ording to the regtions, the person bailing her out had to be a direct rtive.


    Her direct rtive…


    Chi Enen took out her mobile phone and sent a text message to her agent. After waiting more than half an hour, there was still no reply to her text. The female officer urged her once again with impatience, and with no other option, Chi Enen remembered the phone number Anxin had given her. She pursed her lips and sent a text message to that unfamiliar number.


    I’ve run into a bit of trouble, could youe to the police station to bail me out? I will repay you the bail money.


    The text message was sent sessfully in less than a second.


    But Chi Enen felt uneasy.


    In theory, they were husband and wife in the eyes of thew, but their marriage was one of convenience—for money and for household registration for a child—so in reality, they were strangers with no connection to each other. He was only bearing the title of her husband, and they had never even seen each other’s faces.


    Chi Enen knew how abrupt her text was, thinking that the other person might not even respond to her at all.


    She waited anxiously for 20 minutes.


    Suddenly, the tightly closed room door opened.


    The previously overbearing deputy director walked in with a young man, nodding and bowing with the utmost respect.


    “Young Master Si, the person is in here.”


    Chi Enen’s handcuffs were unlocked. After the police officer walked away, she finally got a clear look at her rescuer and eximed in surprise, “It’s you!”


    The refined and elegant man wasn’t wearing his whiteb coat this time, and his doll-like face was even more apparent—it was the same person she had seen in Li Beijue’s house that day!


    Chi Enen was in turmoil, her shock and astonishment mixing with a hint of unease that made her fidgety.


    She had sent a text message to her hidden marriage husband, so how had Li Beijue’s friend ended uping to her rescue?


    Si Chen apparently had much more clout than the wealthy woman Qin Wenhao had found. Chi Enen saw that he didn’t even sign a bail form; he just led her right out of the station. The police leadership were even polite enough to see them out, repeatedly saying that the whole thing had been a misunderstanding.


    Out of the Police Station.


    Si Chen pushed up his sses and said with a smile, “Miss Chi, my car is just up front. I hope you don’t mind if we take my car back.”


    “Oh, okay,” she replied.


    Chi Enen had a stomach full of questions but didn’t know how to begin. As she was still wrestling with what to say, she heard Si Chen turn the conversation on her with a cunning glint in his eyes.


    “Miss Chi, a friend asked me toe to the station to fetch you, and I’m quite curious, what’s your rtionship with him?” he asked.


    “You mean, you’re helping your friend?” she inquired.


    The anxiety in Chi Enen intensified.


    Catching all of her reactions, Si Chen continued, “Yes, my friend is overseas and couldn’te to get you, so he asked me to help out. But 1 find it odd; my friend is always abroad, so how do you know each other, Miss Chi?”


    Phew


    Her hidden marriage husband was still overseas… Chi Enen breathed a sigh of relief.


    She had scared herself to death.


    She had thought Si Chen’s friend was Li Beijue.


    She rxed a little bit, vaguely and evasively fumbled an answer, and while following Si Chen to his car, couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Um, does your friend have a girlfriend?”


    He probably didn’t.


    Otherwise, he wouldn’t have agreed to a secret marriage with her.


    Si Chen turned back and gave her a puzzled look, “Why do you ask?”


    Then he added, “From what 1 know, he doesn’t have a girlfriend. He’s a bit, well, unique or peculiar, perhaps. In any case, he can’t be with other women because it would make him very ufortable, and he also has a strong aversion to women; he’s unable to marry a woman normally.”


    He feels ufortable around women, strongly dislikes them, and can’t marry normally…


    It took a moment for Chi Enen to catch on. As she arrived beside the car, it suddenly dawned on her what Si Chen meant—could it be that her hidden marriage husband was gay?


    At that moment, the car window rolled down, revealing a handsome face behind sunsses, his tone extremely aggressive, “What took you so long, were you picking up a corpse? Si Chen, you really think I’m at your beck and call as your driver?”


    “Li Beijue, what are you doing here!” Chi Enen was startled.


    Si Chen helplessly shrugged his shoulders, opened the car door, and said to Chi Enen, “Ah, sorry about that. I just happened to be with Commander Li, and he came along too.”


    After saying that, he cast a meaningful look at the man in the car who was seething with rage.


    Li Beijue, seeing Chi Enen look as if she’d seen a ghost, grew even colder, his demeanor as harsh as the depth of winter, “Do I need to make a report to you whenever I’m here?”


    What was with this woman’s expression? Was she so unhappy to see him?


    His hand clenched into a fist, struggling to keep his emotions in check.


    “Get in the car!”


    Chi Enen was caught in a difficult situation, not able to leave nor stay. After weighing her options, she decided to get in the car.


    Si Chen followed, ready to get in as well.


    Unexpectedly, the driver in front abruptly pulled open the car door and issued an upromising order, “You drive.”


    “…” Si Chen, helpless, had one leg already in the car but had to back out and walk around to the driver’s seat.


    Li Beijue opened the rear car door, his face twisted as if he were owed a huge debt, and he snapped at Chi Enen aggressively, “Move in further.”


    Hiss


    He wanted to sit with her? What kind of joke was that?


    Chi Enen’s body stiffened like a stone, and she moved further inside, almost pressing against the car window.


    The cold-faced man couldn’t stand her evasive and unprepared manner, which immediately worsened his mood. As if deliberately opposing her, he reached out and pulled her close to him.


    Wat.


    Chi Enen’s waist was encircled by his arm, and one hand was also grasped in his, her body as rigid as a stone.


    The next second.


    Her mind buzzed, and her face flushed red!


    He, he, he had actually caught her hand in the car and touched that ce!


    Chi Enen’s fingertips trembled, and she attempted to withdraw her hand like a sh of lightning.


    But it was as if he had anticipated her thoughts, holding her wrist tightly. Chi Enen’s struggle felt more like deliberate friction.


    “Hmm-”


    The man’s falcon-like eyes shimmered with peach blossom allure, emitting a low, sexy hum.


    His voice was not loud, but to Chi Enen, it sounded like thunder, panic-stricken as she looked towards Si Chen in the front, terrified that Si Chen would notice their subtle movements behind him.


    This man, has he gone mad?


    “Chi Enen, are you satisfied with what you touched?” Li Beijue stared at her intensely, emitting an uncontrolled desire and a hint of arrogant confidence.


    He admitted, he couldn’t stay angry with this woman. Ignoring her only made him feel bad, and he was never one topromise. Since the cold war made him unhappy, it was benevolent to let it slide. Good men don’t argue with women; there’s nothing to contend with a woman about.


    Chi Enen was dumbstruck, not catching on, “Satisfied with what?”


    “Tch, a woman who says one thing and means another. Your mouth denies it, but your body is very honest.” Even though his words were disdainful, the corners of his mouth pleasedly curled up.


    ■I


    What was honest about her?


    From the beginning to end, it had been him who grabbed her hand, forcing her to move!


    If it weren’t for them being in the car, Chi Enen really wanted to punch him, grab his shoulder, and yell at him to make it clear they were in the car, and Si Chen was driving in the front. His hooligan behavior was not something to be proud of!


    “Chi Enen, I’ve thought it over. 1 don’t want to y these cat-and-mouse games with you anymore. Whatever you want, money, identity, or something else, just name your price.”


    What money, identity, other…


    Chi Enen patiently exined, “Young Master Jue, 1 think you’ve misunderstood me. I wasn’t ying games with you. 1 truly regret the wrong things I’ve done in the past and don’t wish to disturb you anymore.”


    Li Beijue’s expression turned cold, his features bing even more sharply defined as he stared unwaveringly into her eyes.


    “I’ve said it, 1 don’t want to y cat-and-mouse anymore. If you have any demands, while I’m still interested, speak now.”


    “I really wasn’t ying cat-and-mouse; 1…”


    Chi Enen had only spoken halfway when the man with the cold face abruptly cut her off, “Chi Enen, I gave you a chance to state your purpose. Since you refuse to say it, I’ll do as 1 see fit.”


    What does that mean?


    As he finished speaking, he suddenly turned to the driver andmanded loudly.


    “Block your ears!”


    Si Chen’s slightly mockingughter came from the front, “Okay, okay, okay, Commander Li, Commander Officer.”


    Chi Enen realized something was wrong and desperately struggled to pull her hand away, “What are you doing?”


    They were still in the car!


    Li Beijue couldn’t be bothered to waste words with her and abruptly captured her lips with his head lowered!


    “Mmm…”


    Chi Enen froze, reaching out to block his chest, but he effortlessly caught her hand, leaving her unable to move.


    Li Beijue’s hot lips, scorching as if carrying a fire, brushed past her lips and teeth, then touched her nose tip, forehead, and chin, gradually moving downward…


    Chi Enen trembled all over.


    “Hmm… no… don’t do this. Let’s talk…”


    “We have nothing to discuss.” The man who had been nipping at her neck lifted his head, his ck eyes locking onto hers, seemingly burning with mes, “From now on, I won’t ask you again, Chi Enen, it was foolish of me to ask a woman as fake as you what she wants. From now on, 1 will do things my way, and you just need to cooperate with me..”
