He seemed to have found something amusing and leaned into her ear, breathing out gently, his voice barely concealing a laugh, “What are you trembling for?”
Emma!
50 moody, he must be ill!
Any normal person would tremble if someone breathed into their ear, wouldn’t they?
Chi Enen didn’t even have the energy to get angry anymore, overwhelmed by a deep sense of powerlessness, she turned her head away and ignored him.
Li Beijue took her earlobe between his teeth and nibbled for a while, finally letting her go. He then pulled out a square little box from somewhere and opened it.
Inside was a heart-shaped diamond ring, meticulously crafted with premium materials. You could tell at a glance that it was very expensive.
He lowered his head, imperiously took Chi Enen’s left hand, and slid the diamond ring onto her middle finger, holding tight, “From now on, this is yours.”
“If you ever take it off, you are dead!”
A domineering threat!
Chi Enen looked down at the ring a few times—it was at least seven or eight carats. To the unaware, the diamond on top might even be mistaken for a decorative glass bead. She calmed herself down, trying to speak to him evenly, “I can’t accept this ring, it’s too expensive. I haven’t earned it, I can’t accept such a costly gift from President Li.”
Li Beijue knew she would say this. His noble red phoenix eyes glanced at her, his fingers interlocked with hers, resting on his thigh. His mood was surprisingly good, “Who says you haven’t earned it? You will have in a little while.”
“What do you mean?”
Li Beijue, pleased with himself, curled the corner of his mouth and looked out the car window, ignoring her.
Chi Enen was dying of curiosity, yet she couldn’t press him for answers. She definitely couldn’t grab him by the collar and demand he explain. If she did, it was very likely that the beast within this man would emerge once again, and he’d continue what they hadn’t finished in the car.
The Lincoln sped all the way into an opulent, unobstructed high-end residential area.
51 Chen parked the car downstairs of one of the buildings and opened the car doors for them like a gentleman, his eyes twinkling with a teasing smile as he stared at Chi Enen.
“Miss Chi, we’ve arrived. Please get out.”
Chi Enen felt incredibly uncomfortable under his gaze, especially now that she knew Si Chen was acquainted with her hidden marriage husband whom she’d barely met face to face. That feeling of discomfort intensified.
It was as if she’d been caught having an illegitimate affair with another man in the presence of her husband’s friends.
Si Chen noticed this amusing phenomenon and was just about to continue observing it.
But the man who got out of the car after her unleashed a look of possession that sent Si Chen retreating, as if a warning glare wasn’t enough. He proclaimed his territory once again by placing his hand on Chi Enen’s slender waist.
“What are you doing?” Chi Enen tried to pry his large hand off.
“If you keep moving, I’ll take it as an invitation to kiss you,” Li Beijue not only refused to let go but added another line.
Chi Enen stiffened, knowing full well he could make good on his word.
He had the audacity to do ‘that sort of thing’ right in front of someone else in the car; as for kissing in public within the community, Chi Enen believed he was entirely capable of doing such a thing!
The person in his arms finally settled down, improving Li Beijue’s mood even further. Even his usually sternly handsome face cleared up, his thin lips curling in pleasure.
He was naturally noble and imposing, and when his red phoenix eyes lifted, his aura became even more spirited.
Si Chen touched his nose and followed behind, finally understanding why so many women, despite knowing their friend had a difficult temper, still adored him.
After all, the name Li Beijue represented not only endless wealth but also a charm potent enough to turn any lady into a libertine..
