Whose voice is that?
She looked towards the crowd.
A tall and upright man walked out from the crowd, his simple blouse and trousers exuding an oppressive nobility. Though he was but one man, for some reason, he seemed to command an overwhelming aura!
The crowd unconsciously parted, making way for him…
“Li Beijue?” Chi Enen saw the handsome face and exclaimed in surprise.
Why had he come? Had the meeting finished?
The cold-faced man approached her, his gaze resting on her flushed cheeks, and he tensed slightly. Then his face darkened, and he asked in a low voice, “Where is Huo Yi?”
Hadn’t he instructed that she was to be protected at all costs, never to be left alone?
Who had allowed her to be left here by herself!
Enen had gotten used to his temper, and upon hearing his tone, she could tell he was angry. She quickly defended Huo Yi, “1 was thirsty, and Butler Huo went to buy me some water. How did you find me?”
“Buy water?” Li Beijue disregarded her attempt to divert the topic, stubbornly sticking to his original question, “He couldn’t take you with him to buy it?”
Enen had no way to deal with his temper, so she continued to explain, “1 didn’t want to follow him there.”
Li Beijue didn’t say anything, but his brows were still tightly furrowed, clearly still angry.
In order to help Huo Yi, Enen had no choice but to thickly change the subject again, “Li Beijue, it’s good you’re here, could you help me ask the boss how much this ring is?”
“You’re buying this?” Isn’t this a man’s ring? Who is she buying it for?
His face darkened, and deep in his eyes brooded an impending storm of intense ferocity.
But unable to withstand Enen’s pleading look, he asked the boss about the price with a grim face and an icy voice. After asking, he turned around and said without a pleasant expression, “155.”
155 seemed a bit expensive for a silver ring.
A ring of this quality would cost at most a few dozen yuan in Rainy City, but Enen knew that things in tourist areas were generally more expensive than outside.
While 155 was a bit of a rip-off, she could still afford it.
She pondered for a moment and then decided to buy it.
She took out her shriveled wallet from her bag, reluctantly retrieved the 155 in change, and handed it to the boss, her clear eyes stating, “Boss, 1’11 take this ring.”
After finishing her sentence, she signaled Li Beijue to help her translate.
What did this woman take him for? Li Beijue’s face showed his displeasure, yet he still translated for her to the boss. Upon understanding, the boss gave her an OK gesture and took the money.
The girl who had previously been making a fuss about buying the ring was not happy now, immediately raising her voice, “What are you doing! 1 already bought that ring, why are you still taking her money! Is this how you do business? Give her money back to her!”
Enen couldn’t stand it anymore and retorted loudly, “The boss never took any money from you from start to finish, and 1 saw this ring first. I just couldn’t speak Country W language and was trying to communicate with the boss.”
“It doesn’t matter if you can’t speak it, I already paid the money, so the item should be mine.” She hadn’t really wanted the ring at first, her initial dispute with Enen was simply because she saw Enen liked it, and she purely wanted to snatch it away.
But now she saw Li Beijue and felt indignant.
Why could an average-looking girl with an average figure have such a handsome ‘boyfriend’ while she could only cling to an old and ugly man?
She was incensed!
Desperately, she sought to find a sense of balance from the ring!
Enen had already seen through her petty thoughts, and had no desire to argue any further. Holding the ring, she prepared to leave, “Li Beijue, let’s go..”
