When Chi Enen arrived at home, Li Beijue was already back.

“Sister Chi, you’re back.” The helper took out a pair of slippers and passed it to her.

Chi Enen said listlessly, “Thank you.”

Pleasantly surprised, the helper quickly told her to dismiss the politeness. At the sight of Chi Enen changing shoes and seemingly unaware of the stifling atmosphere in the mansion, she said after some hesitation, “Sister Chi, Young Master Li is not in a good mood. Please be more careful later.”

Actually, she wanted to say ‘in a very bad mood’ but moderated it ‘not in a good mood’.

Chi Enen looked at her quite puzzled as she had not expected her to tell her this. She reciprocated with a grateful and sincere smile. “Mmm, I know. Thank you.”

She had long expected Li Beijue to be in a bad mood. From the moment that she did not pick up his call, she was prepared to receive his fury.

That said, Chi Enen was still very grateful for the kind reminder from the helper.

The lights in the mansion were bright and clear.

The luxurious crystal chandelier brightened up every corner of the room, making it seem as though it was daytime. The man sitting upright on the European-style genuine leather sofa looked up. Beneath the chic and short hair was a seductive and charming face but it could not hide its rage.

“You’re still aware that you need to come back?”

The tone was freezing cold and chilling to the bones.

Although Chi Enen was already prepared to endure the flames of fury, she was freezing all over from that devouring gaze of his.

“Why didn’t you pick up my call?” It was absolutely a tone of interrogation. This man was born to be so arrogant!

Chi Enen felt uneasy, as if she was a criminal. Putting away her bag and pursing her lips, she said softly, “I had a matter to attend to.”

“What matter?” He pressed on.

“I don’t wish to talk about it.” The thought of Lin Meiqi would bring back memories of the conversation that she overhead unintentionally when she was outside the study room of the Chi residence today. It was as if a stone was weighing down on her heart. She felt so vexed and breathless. Since she was in a bad mood, her tone reflected that as well.

Li Beijue glared at the woman who was tidying up her bag in the living room. There seemed to be a string tightening in his head, one that would snap at any point in time. He suppressed his anger, closed his hawkish eyes and threatened, “Chi Enen, I’ll give you one more chance. Speak! Why didn’t you take my call? Otherwise, you will have to bear… ”

Before he could say ‘the consequences’, the woman who was bending her head and tidying up her bag suddenly retorted coldly, “Otherwise, what will happen? Do you want me to lose my job, become homeless, or wander and live in the streets? Or are you going to behave like a rogue again and treat me the way that you did?”

Li Beijue was a little stunned by her retaliation.

After he recovered his senses, he stared at Chi Enen in disbelief.

Did this woman overturn the sky? She actually dared to shout at him?

“What did you say I was? Say it again if you dare!”

Chi Enen was really gutsy! She felt as if she was a balloon that was blown to its maximum capacity. She had a bellyful of anger that was about to erupt. Glaring with her clear and bright eyes, she hollered, “I said that you are a rogue! A sicko!”

Li Beijue was dumbstruck. Had this woman gone mad?

“Am I wrong? Since the day that I met you again, you have been forcing and threatening me! You refuse to listen to me. You disregarded my will and only know how to threaten and demand me to cooperate with you. Don’t you think that your behavior is very perverted?” Chi Enen was fuming, seemingly venting out all the grievances that she had been enduring for the past few days. “Li Beijue, what exactly do you want? If you are taking revenge on me for leaving you five years ago, can you be more direct and straightforward? Just kill or dismember me! I don’t want to be repeatedly tortured by you again!”
