Chapter 300: 300: Master Jue, Miss Chi has woken up
“Mmm.” Chi Enen’s voice was still muffled and slightly husky. She rubbed her temples and looked around the bedroom groggily, only to realize that she was the only one left in the room; Li Beijue had left at some point. “Sister Nan, is something the matter?”
“Enen, were you bullied by Wei Ting and the others yesterday?” Although Qin Nan was embarrassed, her gossip fire hadn’t died down at all.
She was really bursting to know the truth.
“Wei Ting? I was indeed locked in the toilet yesterday afternoon shortly before work ended, but I don’t know who did it. What about it?”
As she expected…
Qin Nan felt a sense of ‘I knew it’ and decisively told Chi Enen, “It must have been her doing!”
“This morning, President Li came to our office level. In front of more than two hundred people, he had security guards lock Wei Ting and her gang in the toilets with a few buckets of ice water for each. He even said to fire them if they lasted 6 hours! Even more impressively protective, President Li said he’d make sure that group couldn’t get by in Capital City. And in front of everyone, he declared you were his woman!”
“Enen, you didn’t see how cool and powerful President Li was at that moment! If I didn’t have your Brother Wang, damn, I might have fallen for someone else!”
She continued raving about Li Beijue nonstop.
Yet Chi Enen was dazed—
Li Beijue had gone to the company to clean up Wei Ting and the others for her? And he took revenge on her behalf? He even told everyone about their relationship?
To say she wasn’t thrilled would be a lie.
Chi Enen felt sweet inside, cherished with a sense of being protected.
After chatting with Qin Nan for a few moments, she hung up the phone. Then she threw off the quilt and sat up.
On the sofa lay several sets of woman’s clothes, including a dress, as well as jeans and shirts—all in the simple styles she preferred.
One glance and she knew who had prepared them!
Chi Enen chose a shirt and jeans to wear, brushed her teeth, washed her face, and went downstairs.
“Miss Chi, good morning,” greeted Huo Yi, who was busy downstairs. When he saw her coming down, he warmly said hello,
“Good morning,” Chi Enen replied with a slight smile.
Huo Yi, grinning from ear to ear, told her, “Master Jue has gone to the company. He instructed me to take good care of Miss Chi. He also said that you don’t need to go to work today, as he will help you call in sick.”
Li Beijue was the CEO—who was he supposed to call in for her? Fatty Fish?
Chi Enen imagined the scene of him calling in sick for her with Fatty Fish and found it unexpectedly amusing.
Given Fatty Fish’s timid and frightful nature, he’d probably end up sweating bullets.
Huo Yi saw her lowered gaze and the laughter at the corner of her mouth and knew she must be thinking of some funny incident. He didn’t disturb her, standing respectfully to one side.
When Chi Enen came back to her senses, Huo Yi reminded her, “Miss Chi, please have some breakfast first.”
“Oh, okay, sure,” said Chi Enen, her cheeks tinged red with a touch of embarrassment.
Huo Yi chuckled quietly, dutifully pulling out a chair for her at the dining table.
…
She had just finished breakfast.
Then Huo Yi’s phone rang.
Picking up the mobile phone, he glanced at her, and answered, “Hello, Master Jue.”
He looked at Chi Enen again, his tone light and with a smile, “Yes, Miss Chi has woken up and just finished breakfast… Mhm… Miss Chi seems to be in good spirits, her fever should have lowered.”
It was Li Beijue!
Chi Enen’s heartbeat involuntarily quickened a little.
“…Alright, Master Jue, one moment, I’ll hand the phone to Miss Chi.” Huo Yi passed the mobile phone to her.
