Chapter 918: Chapter 918: Li Beijue Finally Returns the Call
Once they had left the villa,
Chi Enen rembered that she had driven there, and it would be awkward if Xi Zelie offered to take her back.
Because if it involved driving her car, it would be troubleso for him to co back later. But if they didn’t use her car, there was no way to get it back ho.
Chi Enen realized the awkwardness and was about to take the initiative to tell him not to bother.
Unexpectedly, the aloof man simply ordered the butler beside him, “Later, take the car back to the hospital.”
“Yes, Young Master Lie.” The butler bowed deeply, showing utter respect.
Xi Zelie opened the door of a brand new Rolls-Royce Phantom and naturally said to Chi Enen, “Get in.”
Chi Enen took a deep breath, didn’t act pretentiously, got into the car, and fastened the seatbelt.
Xi Zelie followed her in, placed both hands on the steering wheel, and turned the car around.
The luxury car quickly left the villa’s private parking apron.
…
In the car.
The atmosphere was indescribably awkward and uncomfortable.
Xi Zelie didn’t speak, and Chi Enen didn’t feel it was her place to initiate conversation. The air inside the car was so quiet it felt as if it had solidified.
In this atmosphere, every minute and every second seed to be infinitely stretched, making ti feel exceptionally long.
Chi Enen slightly regretted not insisting on refusing his offer to take her back.
This feeling, it was just too awkward.
At this mont.
The mobile phone inside her bag suddenly began to vibrate.
Chi Enen frantically took out her phone and upon seeing the incoming calls display, she felt a headache coming on—Li Beijue would neither return her calls early nor late but chose to call back at such an awkward ti.
The words ‘Paranoid’ arrogantly flashed on the screen, with every flash, Chi Enen could feel the sparks in that man’s eyes at the other end of the phone.
If she didn’t answer now, she could imagine that certain person’s irate deanor.
She placed the phone to her ear and answered the call.
“Chi Enen, where did you run off to? Why only now are you answering the phone?” As soon as the call connected, her eardrums were almost blasted by the shouting.
Unsure whether Xi Zelie had heard the voice on the phone, she moved it slightly away from her ear, “I went to find Nuonuo. I wanted to tell you, but I couldn’t get through to your mobile. I also called Butler Huo and couldn’t get through to his mobile either, so I had to go by myself.”
“Huo Yi and I are together.” The signal wasn’t good where they were.
However…
“Why did you go looking for Nuonuo by yourself? Where are you now? I’ll pick you up!” Doesn’t she have any sense of safety? A woman out and about by herself this late!
Chi Enen felt a tingling on her scalp, and her temple throbbed briefly. Calming herself, she said, “No need, I’ll be back shortly.”
“Are you with soone else?”
Chi Enen had never seen him so sharp before, but such sharpness at this ti was hardly amusing. She always felt like she had sneaked out behind Li Beijue’s back as if she was cheating, but she had done nothing, and now she felt the tense sensation as if she was about to be caught in the act of infidelity, “Yes.”
“With whom?”
Chi Enen hesitated for a second between hiding the truth and being honest. After that second, she chose the latter, “Soone you know, Mr. Han. Mr. Han happened to save Nuonuo and is now giving a ride back.”
Lying could indeed bring a mont’s peace, especially considering Li Beijue’s temper, not telling him would indeed be better than the truth.
But Chi Enen did not want to lie.
What’s most important for two people together is honesty.
Moreover, she had done nothing, and if she lied and was found out, the nothing would turn into sothing because the lie ca first, and it would be no wonder that distrust followed.
