Just at that moment.

The driver opened the car door of the Lincoln, and a pair of long legs that could rival a model’s came into view first!

Then, a man with short, clean-cut hair and a strikingly handsome face carved by divine craftsmanship appeared before everyone!

From eighty-year-olds to little girls, everyone’s eyes lit up!

His noble red phoenix eyes glanced indifferently, ignoring the crowd, and landed directly on the stunned Chi Enen. His thin lips curled up slightly, clearly in a good mood, and he beckoned her, “Come here.”

Li Beijue!

It was really Li Beijue!

He had really found this place!

Chi Enen’s heart was about to leap out of her chest, and if she still had a shred of senses about her, the food she was holding would have fallen to the ground. Seeing her lack of response, Li Beijue frowned slightly and commanded again, “What are you doing standing there like an idiot, come here.”

Huo Yi caught all the vivid changes in expression on the little lady’s face and silently mourned for Chi Enen, but he diligently reminded her, “Miss Chi, Master Jue is calling you. Hurry up and go over.”

“I…” She swept a look across the onlookers in the community, and as people kept arriving and increasing in number, she came back to her senses. Though reluctant, she made a sound of acknowledgment and moved toward him.

Li Beijue immediately pulled her to his side, his eyes expressing joy, “Are you a snail? I’ve been waiting for you for ages.”

Chi Enen had wanted to ask how he had found this place, but scanning the crowd of onlookers, she hurriedly pulled him upstairs, “Let’s go back home first, and then we can talk.”

Home?

Li Beijue chewed on the word, feeling an inexplicable throbbing in his heart.

His falcon-like eyes glanced at the hand Chi Enen was holding, he raised an eyebrow, and followed her upstairs with his long legs.

The community was made up of resettlement housing, and the staircase in the unit block was particularly narrow. After Chi Enen pulled him upstairs, she let go of his hand, fished out the key from her bag, and opened the door.

“Come in.”

She placed the food on the table and found a pair of men’s slippers from the shoe cabinet and threw them in front of Li Beijue.

“Change shoes first.”

Li Beijue looked down at the brand-new men’s slippers and then glanced at the pair next to them that were obviously worn often and identical. Not sure what he was thinking, he changed into the slippers.

He walked into the house, took a quick look around, and immediately knitted his brows.

Too small.

So small that the entire house put together was still not as big as one bedroom in his villa.

But small as it was, the house was arranged quite cozily.

The sofa was covered with fluffy dolls, and the leftovers on the dining table were still covered, filling the tiny house with the essence of a home.

Chi Enen knew the sort of places he usually lived in. She got a clean water cup from the kitchen, poured him a cup of water, and said somewhat uncomfortably, “The house is quite small, President Li, please make do.”

Li Beijue sat on the sofa as if he were in his own home, picked up the water she poured, and took a sip, agreeing with her remark like a big master, “Indeed, it is pitifully small.”

Chi Enen had only been polite in saying her house was small; she never thought he’d actually agree and call it small, which suddenly blocked her chest! She felt as though she couldn’t breathe in or out.

Her lips twitching, she silently repeated to herself several times ‘this man has low EQ, don’t take it to heart’ until she felt a bit better, and then she forced a smile, sarcastically saying, “Heh, I’ve troubled President Li.”

Without waiting for Li Beijue to reply, she asked eagerly, “What did you want to see me for, President Li?”

“Can’t I find you if there’s nothing important?” How irritating the tone sounded, no matter how one heard it..
