“Of course not,” Chi Enen knew his temper and immediately soothed him, then added meaningfully, “My main concern is that the house is too small and I’m afraid I can’t be a good host, which might put President Li at a disadvantage.” She enunciated each character with particr rity!
Small as it was, it was still the ce she struggled every month to rent with the money she earned!
Li Beijue might have a low EQ, but that didn’t mean he wascking in IQ. How could he not hear the obvious eviction notice in Chi Enen’s words?
His falcon-like eyes suddenly became shadowed. However, as his gaze fell upon the yful dolls on the sofa, the haze on his face slightly softened. He lifted his chin and said naturally, “Si Chen helped me re-examine the wound.”
“…” Chi Enen waited for him to continue.
Li Beijue locked eyes with her, stressing each word, “He said the newly torn wound is rather serious and needs someone to take care of it at all times, to help apply medication. You’re quite good at applying the medicine…”
Chi Enen’s heart skipped a beat, and without thinking, she denied, “I’ve never learned nursing, President Li should find someone else.”
Li Beijue’s face, which had just eased, nowpletely darkened!
What did this woman mean?
He had already condescended to speak to this level, and yet she didn’t give him any way of saving face!
The atmosphere in the room instantly became tense.
Chi Enen’s palms were sweating.
She held her ground without showing weakness, pretending not to notice his anger.
After a long wait without seeing her soften, Li Beijue could no longer suppress his temper and said stiffly, “Chi Enen, I want you to take care of me, to help me apply medication!”
“I’m not skilled at it… I’m afraid I can’t help President Li. With your esteemed status, it would be better to have a professional nurse take care of you.”
This was rejection!
Li Beijue, infuriated to the point of amusement, grabbed her wrist in one swift move, his falcon-like eyes fierce as if seeing something forbidden, he said assertively, “Are youfortable with other women looking at my body?”
“…” Chi Enen didn’t understand what he was angry about. Hadn’t Xie Tingting seen his body these past few months?
Her wrist pained her, bringing her back to reality. She bit her lower lip and said, “I’m just worried I won’t take good care of you.”
“If I say you take good care of me, then you take good care of me!” With these words, he let go of her and sat back down on the sofa, showing no sign of leaving.
Chi Enen nced at the clock on the wall; it was nearly time for Baby Chi to get out of school. She pursed her lips and decided to be more explicit, “I spent this afternoon shopping with Miss Xie…”
“So?” The man on the sofa didn’t even raise an eyebrow, as if she was discussing apletely irrelevant topic.
Chi Enen gritted her teeth and continued, braving it out, “Miss Xie is very beautiful.”
He already had Xie Tingting. If he really didn’t like the idea of a strange female nurse helping him with his medication, he could totally ask Xie Tingting!
This time, Li Beijue looked up, ncing at her indifferently, his falcon-like eyes disying a bit of impatience, “What does it matter if she’s beautiful? There are plenty of beautiful women out there. Enough, 1 already know about your afternoon schedule; no need to say more. In the future, just inform me in advance if you want to go out with friends.”
Chi Enen couldn’t help but widen her eyes in disbelief.
She hadn’t expected him to be so shameless!
What did he mean by friends?
Did he really intend to follow the male-supremacist societal norms and consider all his wives and concubines as close sisters?
Li Beijue, oblivious to the storm raging within her, furrowed his brow andmanded like a big master, “Chi Enen, I’m hungry.”
“President Li…”
“Shut up!” As if knowing what she was about to say, he curtly ordered, “I want to eat the food you cook!”
