Chapter 242: Chapter 242: Baby Chi Takes the Initiative to Call Li Beijue
Thinking of Chi Enen, Li Beijue’s entire demeanor softened.
Si Chen, even more frustrated by what he said, rubbed his temple and remarked, “Nevermind about me. I heard that aunt went to your company today. How did it go, everything alright? She didn’t run into Enen, did she?”
The “aunt” he referred to was Li Beijue’s biological mother.
Due to her ambiguous status, he also felt it improper to address her as Madam.
“I agreed to her request, and she left on her own,” Li Beijue said, his tone very cold, as cold as if he were talking about a stranger.
Si Chen had vaguely heard some gossip about his background within their circle and hesitated before saying, “What about Enen’s situation? Are you planning to keep dragging it out? When will you tell her that you are her secret marriage husband?”
What he actually wanted to ask was, regarding their family, how he planned to announce this bombshell.
Now, it didn’t matter that no one knew about their secret marriage, but once it was discovered, it would certainly be an earthquake!
Li Beijue’s temple throbbed, and he said in a deep voice, “Wait a little longer.”
Knowing that he had many things to consider and many relationships to balance, Si Chen did not press further. He changed the subject, “By the way, have you been sleeping better recently?”
At the mention of this, Li Beijue’s tone turned frosty and chilling, “If it weren’t for your nonsense, I would already be asleep by now.”
“Uh…”
“Is there anything else? If not, I’m hanging up.” His patience had reached its limit.
Si Chen, sensing how annoyed he was, didn’t dare to provoke the tiger further and immediately said, “Nothing else, nothing else, go to sleep. Good ni…”
Before he could finish his sentence, the phone was already emitting a dial tone.
That was a rather quick hang-up.
He held the disconnected mobile phone, speechless…

The next day, at ten in the morning.
Li Beijue was playing golf with the boss of Huanyu Group when Huo Yi hurried over, “Master Jue.”
Li Beijue set down his club and glanced back at him, “What’s the matter?”
Iluo Yi glanced at the boss of Huanyu next to them and whispered something into his ear. The typically proud and noble man frowned, handed his club to a nearby caddy, and nodded at the boss of Huanyu, “President Shi, something urgent came up, I can only continue another day.”
Although President Shi didn’t know what his urgent matter was, he politely replied, “No problem, Young Master Li, you go ahead.”
Li Beijue wasn’t polite, and followed Huo Yi, turning towards the changing room.
As he walked, he took the mobile phone that Huo Yi handed him and dialed the number back.
The call was quickly answered, with a milky voice coming from the other end, “Hello, is this Uncle Li?”
Whose voice could it be but Baby Chi’s?
Li Beijue, changing his attitude from how he was with Si Chen, responded with a “Mm.”
“Uncle, can you do me a favor? I’ve gotten into trouble and I’m too scared to tell my mommy. Can you come to our kindergarten?”
What kind of trouble had he gotten into that he didn’t even dare tell his mom? Li Beijue agreed quickly, “I can.”
“Great!” The little guy on the other end seemed thrilled and gave him the address of the kindergarten, not forgetting to politely add, “Uncle, no need to hurry, take your time, I’ll wait for you. Bye-bye.”
“Bye-bye.” Li Beijue ended the call and handed the phone back to Huo Yi. He glanced at him, “You didn’t slip up when you answered the phone earlier, did you?”
“No, I told the little young master that you had gone to get some materials and that I was your colleague, helping you answer the call.”
“Mm.”
Li Beijue withdrew his gaze and commanded coldly.
“Prepare the car.”
“Yes, Master Jue..”
