“I am sorry to keep you waiting.” The helper had been waiting at the cashier for a while. Chi Enen apologized to her immediately as soon as she reached her . She took a card out from her pocket and handed it to the cashier.
“A total of 65 yuan. You still have 999,965 yuan left in the card. This is the receipt. Please keep it.”
The grocery shopping card had a remaining value of about 990,000 yuan.
The remaining value of her card that she used for her daily expenses only had a three-digit balance.
The social gap between the rich and the poor was too wide. Chi Enen felt upset at the thought of it. She could not wait to go against those evil capitalists!
She took the card from the cashier and put it aside carefully, for fear that she would lose it. If so, she could not pay for it even if she sold herself.
Back home.
Chi Enen came out to take onions and she could hear Li Beijue throwing a temper in the living room. She could not help but glance at him and she had to admit that it was indeed true that a man looked his best when he was working seriously.
Li Beijue sat on the sofa, the lights from the window shone on his upward-slanting strong eyebrows and his long and sharp, dark eyes. His thin lips were slightly pressed together, his features were well-defined and chiseled. He was tall and slender but did not appear to be burly. He seemed like the hawk at night, cold, arrogant and alone, yet domineering and overbearing. His lone figure exuded a powerful aura, as if he stood with the world under his feet.
“I don’t want to listen to reasons. This is something that kindergarten teacher should be able to do. I’ll give you three days, if you can’t do it well, all of you can go back to kindergarten!”
This temper of his!
She shook her head and shifted her gaze elsewhere, opening the refrigerator, taking out the ingredients that she wanted.
She cooked by herself when she was abroad. When Baby Chi was born, she also had to juggle between cooking for Baby Chi and working. She had been trained to cook speedily. Therefore, she was able to whip up two dishes and one soup as well as a radish salad in less than half an hour.
“It’s time to eat.”
Li Beijue smelled the fragrance of the food. He closed his laptop and took his seat at the dining table, waiting for Chi Enen to bring a warm towel for him to clean his hands.
However, Chi Enen did not know that he was used to being treated like a master. She brought the piping hot food to the table and began to scoop the rice. She was puzzled when she noticed that he was still sitting at the dining table. “Why don’t you go to wash your hands?”
“I’ll go right away!”
Forget it!
He should not expect this woman to know what it meant to wait on a man!
Li Beijue pressed his thin lips together while he left in a puff to the washroom to wash his hands.
“What was he angry at this time?” Chi Enen mumbled to herself, not knowing what was wrong. She was used to Li Beijue’s bad temper, therefore she did not think too much about it. She scooped the rice for Li Beijue and went to the kitchen to tidy up.
By the time she washed her hands and came out from the kitchen, there was another bowl of rice on the table. It was placed at the seat next to him.
Did Li Beijue scoop a bowl of rice for her?
“What are you waiting for? Come and have your meal.” Seeing that she had come out from the kitchen, the man who was having his meal elegantly, fixed his hawkish gaze on her, behaving like a master.
Chi Enen came back to her senses and scolded herself in her mind.
Goodness. She must be sick after going through psychological torture these days.
She bought the ingredients and cooked the meal by herself. Li Beijue was merely scooping the rice for her. There was nothing to be moved for.
Li Beijue pushed the bowl rice to her. “Have your meal.”
He was a true aristocrat, who had been through top class aristocratic education since a young age. He adhered to the principle of not speaking when eating and before going to bed. He would eat his meal in quiet elegance. Although they were just simple home-cooked dishes, they seemed to be exquisite cuisines when they were placed in front of him.
Chi Enen was indeed hungry. She did not put up a pretense, instead, she took the bowl and began eating.
She was scooping another bowl of rice for herself when Li Beijue put his chopsticks down.
“Chi Enen, are you a pig?”
“Mmm.” Chi Enen looked up and muttered.
Li Beijue knitted his eyebrows and looked at her, pressing his thin lips together. “Fine.” If she was a pig, so be it. He could afford to pay for her daily expenses!
He pulled the chair and stood up elegantly. “I will bathe first.”
He scolded her for no reason and let go of the matter the next instant. He must be crazy!
Chi Enen was speechless at the thought of what Auntie Wang told her previously.
Didn’t she mention that Li Beijue was sick?
He had serious paranoia and hypomania.
She watched as he left, deciding to direct her anger into having more food. She began to scoop another bowl of rice for herself.
