Madam Li s Identity Is Exposed Again!

Chapter 454: Chapter 454: Is it too cold-blooded?

Chi Enen was jolted awake by pain in the middle of the night.

A dull ache in her lower abdomen had pulled her out of her dreams and into consciousness.

Strange…

Why does my stomach hurt this much?

Chi Enen gritted her teeth, pushed herself up from the bed, and realized it was pitch-dark outside. She had no idea what time it was and wanted to turn on the light to check the time. However, a sudden twist of pain in her abdomen made her arm slip, knocking the water cup on the nightstand onto the ground.

The glass water cup shattered with a crisp, clear sound—

Then with a bang, the bedroom door was violently flung open, and a figure accompanied by a gust of cold air rushed in front of her like a whirlwind, pressing down on her shoulders, his voice urgent, “Chi Enen, what’s wrong?”

“Li Beijue, you’re back?” she was stunned for a moment.

Wasn’t he overseas?

Hadn’t Butler Huo said it would take him three days to return?

How could he have returned so quickly?

“I’m asking you what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?”

Damn it!

He switched on the bedside lamp, and the bedroom was instantly as bright as daylight. He also got a clear view of the little lady’s pale and weak face.

His eyebrows knit tighter together, and he growled impatiently, “I’m taking you to the hospital!”

As he said this, he was about to pick her up.

Chi Enen blinked and finally came back to her senses, avoiding him by moving backward while enduring the discomfort in her abdomen, “No need, I just have a bit of a headache.”

If she admitted her stomach hurt, he would definitely make a big deal out of it.

“Just a headache?”

“Yeah.”

“…” Li Beijue still had a dark expression on his handsome face, his powerful arms forcefully picked her up from the bed and carried her all the way to the living room.

Then he placed her on the sofa, ordering her, “Sit tight, don’t get down.”

He turned to get a cup of warm water and handed it to her, “Take it.”

Chi Enen took the water cup and took a sip.

The warm liquid traveled down her throat and warmed her stomach. Maybe it was because her stomach had warmed up that the pain seemed to subside a little.

She lowered her head and took another small sip, her pale lips finally gaining a bit of color.

While she sipped water sip by sip, the tall man standing beside her suddenly spoke up, “I’ve heard about what happened with Gu Qiaomei.”

“…” Chi Enen paused in her actions and looked up.

Li Beijue’s gaze fell on her hand that involuntarily tightened its grip on the water cup, his stare growing colder. He abruptly snatched the cup from her hand, tossing it aside, then sat down on the sofa and pulled her into his arms.

Her body was soft and tender, and it still carried the natural fragrance from her bath. Li Beijue’s tensed face relaxed a little; one hand held hers, while the other firmly encircled her in his embrace, continuing, “Chi Enen, you are not allowed to be in a bad mood!”

“Pfft!” His command made Chi Enen not know whether to laugh or to cry, unable to help but retort, “It’s not like I can control whether I’m in a good mood or not.”

“I don’t care, you just can’t be in a bad mood!” He was just as domineering as ever, as tyrannical as a despot.

Chi Enen looked desolate but still managed to force a slight smile and said, “I was just wondering if I’m too heartless…”

No sooner had she finished her sentence than her cheeks were abruptly seized without mercy!

“Umm!” He was rough, and Chi Enen’s protests came out in muffled sounds as she reached up to pull on his hand, seemingly in disbelief that he would treat her this way when she was already in such a bad mood.

Li Beijue stubbornly did not let go, and it wasn’t until he had pinched her pale cheeks to a blush that he finally released his hold. Grasping the back of her head, which tried to dodge away, he suddenly lowered his head, locking eyes with Chi Enen, his searing breath spraying on her face.
