Li Beijue did not allow her to withdraw her hand at all. His abdomen was tightly tensed, capturing Chi Enen’s gaze as his thin lips touched lightly, “There’s nothing between me and that Miss Xie you mentioned, I’ll have Huo Yi throw her out in a moment. Chi Enen, I’ve already said it, I have OCD. Other than you, I won’t touch another woman. What else are you dissatisfied with?”
She wasn’t dissatisfied, she knew what it meant to like him—it meant she was gambling heavily, gambling with her heart!
She could afford to lose anything but not her heart.
Knowing she couldn’t afford to lose, yet she had to like someone who was doomed to lose, he had no idea how much courage that required.
But…
She didn’t want to shrink back anymore, didn’t want to deliberately ignore the tremors in her heart.
Chi Enen took a deep breath, her gaze became firm, and she softly said, “Let go of my hand first.”
He must have sensed her seriousness, for Li Beijue slowly released her hand. He had already made up his mind if this woman said anything that hinted she would never consider liking him, he would…
Chi Enen had no idea what he was thinking; if she did, she surely wouldn’t have said so easily, “I’ll try.”
Li Beijue had prepared himself for rejection but did not expect the surprise to come so quickly. His heart, that had fallen into the dust, soared to Heaven in an instant! The ecstatic joy of escaping certain death made him forget he was on the car and he suddenly stood up!
“Bang!” His head hit the car roof.
Chi Enen was startled and quickly asked him, “Li Beijue, are you alright?”
“I’m fine.” Clearly in a disheveled state, clearly supposed to be annoyed, but right now his mood was damn good! He clenched his fist, then released it, and clenched it again, confirming before he spoke, “What did you just say? Say it again.”
Chi Enen was taken aback, then realizing what he was asking for, she met his gaze and seriously repeated, “I said I’ll try. But…”
“No ‘buts’!” He didn’t want to hear any ‘buts’!
“Say it again.”
“…1’11 try.”
“I want to hear more!”
“…1’11 try.”
Chi Enen didn’t know how many times she had repeated it, and towards the end, even she was becoming impatient, but the bossy man finally had his fill. His thin lips abruptly lifted in a joyful smile, the likes of which he had never shown before, “Do you know how long I’ve waited to hear you say that?”
“Since you’ve said it, remember it. Chi Enen, you’re the one who wanted me, and since you did, you can’t throw me away! Otherwise…”
Before he could voice his threat, Chi Enen interrupted him, “I said I’ll try, but before that, we have to set some ground rules.”
“First, no matter whether we end up together or not, you can’t take Baby Chi away.”
“Second, no threatening me at every turn.”
“Third, no forcing me into anything.”
“Fourth, no losing temper in front of Baby Chi.”
“Fifth, you have to pretend to be a stranger uncle in front of Baby Chi.”
Li Beijue could barely stand to listen to the beginning, but upon hearing this, he just couldn’t listen anymore, frowning in refusal, “Why would 1 pretend to be a stranger uncle to my own son?”
Chi Enen had already considered this point and spoke frankly, “Your identity dictates that there will always be temptations around you, you liking me now doesn’t guarantee that you will in the future. Don’t be in a hurry to deny it, I’ve thought it through very clearly, and on this point, 1 will not budge!”
If she were to tell Baby Chi right from the start that Li Beijue was his father, and later on, Li Beijue married another woman, it would be a huge blow to Baby.
Even if she felt the stirrings of affection, she had to protect her son to the greatest extent possible..
