Chapter 1137: Chapter 1137: He Acts Recklessly, But Isn’t It Because of Her!
This woman… Li Beijue’s falcon-like eyes were deep and dark.
But the soft touch on his thin lips lingered like an electric current. He tightened the corner of his mouth, giving her a chance to speak.
Chi Enen seized the moment and quickly said, “You misunderstood. Grandfather did call me over because of the banquet issue. But you misunderstood Grandfather’s attitude; he didn’t blame me for the banquet, he just made an agreement with me.”
“What agreement?”
“He gave me one month to find out who set up this trap behind the scenes and make a counterattack. If I succeed, he will reconsider our situation. However, during this month, I can’t rely on your help, and I must investigate alone. To prevent you from helping me, I need to move out for one month.” Chi Enen was utterly helpless, “So what we meant by leaving is different. You misunderstood.”
His idea of leaving was the Old Master’s straightforward and firm demand for her to leave him.
Her idea of leaving was the Old Master giving her a chance to prove herself.
The latter’s departure was for a better reunion.
So, from beginning to end, it was his misunderstanding.
“Li Beijue, you barged in without understanding and insisted on taking me away, which really hurt Grandfather’s feelings.”
The Old Master even invited Baby Chi over to eat Tomato Egg Noodles together. But now, because of his unruly intrusion, the Old Master probably lost his appetite.
Chi Enen was now even doubting whether the Old Master would still give her this opportunity after Li Beijue’s outburst. After all, this time Li Beijue indeed went too far.
And the reason Li Beijue went too far, ultimately, was because of her.
If she were the Old Master, she probably wouldn’t like herself either.
“In any case, you owe Grandfather an apology for this matter.”
Li Beijue never expected Old Master Li to say such things to Chi Enen. His handsome face lingered in momentary bewilderment, then he narrowed his eyes, “Did the Old man really say he would reconsider you?”
It didn’t sound like something the Old man would say.
The Old man had always been resolute. What exactly changed his mind to give Chi Enen a chance?
He kept feeling this was not something the Old man would do.
“Grandfather really said so, and even mentioned wanting to see Baby Chi and eat Tomato Egg Noodles with him. But you just barged in, dragging me away without listening.”
Damn it, wasn’t his rashness all because of her!
Li Beijue really wanted to strangle this heartless woman, but the words turned into, “I got it.”
Chi Enen still wanted to say something, but he seemed impatient, dragged her by the hand, and continued walking.
Chi Enen didn’t know if he truly understood or just pretended to, or what “got it” meant—whether he would apologize to the Old Master.
But since Li Beijue didn’t want to continue, she couldn’t continue the topic either.
In the blink of an eye, she was dragged back into the room.
Huo Yi was playing building blocks with Nuonuo, and they had already built a small castle. Nuonuo was holding a triangular red block, ready to put a roof on the ‘castle.’ Baby Chi was sitting on the sofa next to them, watching the iPad. Seeing them return, he casually put down his iPad, like a little adult, “You’re back?”
“Mm.”
Baby Chi jumped down from the sofa and suddenly took the initiative to say, “Woman, I want to take Nuonuo to visit Grandpa, can I?”
