Chapter 216: Chapter 216: Coming with My Boyfriend

“… Are you sure it won’t happen a second time?”

She still doubted him! Had any promise he’d ever made her not counted for something? Li Beijue was a bit annoyed, but nodded his head anyway, making a promise, “I am sure.”

Chi Enen’s mood relaxed a bit. She wasn’t someone who held grudges when she had the upper hand. Li Beijue was willing to apologize and promise that it wouldn’t happen again, which was already the limit. She didn’t want to dwell on the mistake, causing a scene until the two of them broke up.

She quickly calmed down, gathered her emotions, and, without letting herself get angry again, pursed her lips and said, “Open the door, I’ll get out first.” “Why are you getting out? You’re going back?”

Chi Enen gave him a glare and said irritably, “Aren’t you inviting me to dinner? Surely we can’t eat in the car.”

Seeing that she wasn’t leaving, Li Beijue’s tense jaw softened as well. His finger traced over the car door’s fingerprint sensor, and the locks automatically disengaged.

Chi Enen picked up her bag and got out of the car, telling him, “I’m going to visit the restroom to wash my hands.” When she had just retched earlier, the palm of her hand accidentally came into contact with something dirty.

“Okay.”

The Restaurant Manager, being observant, promptly led Chi Enen towards the inside of the restaurant without needing instructions from Li Beijue.

As they walked, he began to introduce her to the history of the restaurant and its signature cuisines.

True to a five-star French restaurant, the decor was elegant without lacking charm, and inside they even had a dedicated violinist playing enchanting music—a clear sign of a high-class establishment.

“The restroom is just inside, Miss Chi. Please go left, and you will find it.” The Restaurant Manager was male, so it wouldn’t be appropriate for him to escort her to the door of the restroom. He stopped at the entrance of the corridor, gave a bow, and pointed the way for her.

Chi Enen looked inside and indeed saw a brilliantly lit place at the corner. She raised the corners of her mouth, thanked the manager, and headed inside.

The Restaurant Manager watched her disappear around the corner of the corridor before he hurriedly returned to attend to Li Beijue.

In the restroom, Chi Enen turned on the faucet and put her hands underneath.

The warm water was comfortably warm, not too cold and not too hot.

Next to the sink, hand-washing supplies were neatly arranged. She squeezed out some hand soap, created bubbles by rubbing her hands, and then rinsed them clean under the running water.

After she finished, she turned off the water, dried her hands, and prepared to head back to the restaurant when she bumped into someone behind her.

“I’m sorry.”

“Is that you?”

Chi Enen looked up and came face to face with an unexpected person. She blurted out in astonishment, “Gu Qianci?”

Gu Qianci was equally surprised to encounter her here, but she recovered quicker. She took out a bright-colored lipstick from her bag. While applying it in front of the Mirror, she said, “What brings you here?”

The expenses here weren’t cheap, and as far as she knew, Chi Enen was never valued much in the Chi family. Despite being referred to as a young daughter, her living conditions were worse than that of ordinary people.

Chi Jianguo was too busy to care about home affairs. The first wife, still holding grudges about her husband’s betrayal, would only keep up appearances in front of Chi Jianguo, not even willing to do so in private.

So, Chi Enen basically had no money.

She was just curious, asking casually. She didn’t expect Chi Enen to actually reply, “I’m here to have dinner with my boyfriend.” Li Beijue was her boyfriend now; she wasn’t lying. But speaking the word “boyfriend” out loud, Chi Enen still felt an odd sensation, as if her heart had been electrified, a tingling feeling.

“Boyfriend?” Gu Qianci’s hand slipped, and the lipstick almost smeared outside. Annoyed, she put down the lipstick and turned to Chi Enen, “You’ve got a boyfriend? What about Su…”

Chi Enen knew who she was about to mention, and before she could say it, coldly interrupted her, “My boyfriend is waiting for me; I should go. Goodbye.”

After speaking, without waiting for Gu Qianci to respond, she picked up her bag from the counter and left straight away..
