Lingering Doting Marriage: Big Boss, Little Sweet Heart - Chapter 22: Li Beijue Has Paranoia?!

Just as Chi Enen stepped out of the villa, Auntie Wang, who had been waiting outside, called out to her and led her to a quiet corner in the villa’s garden. She grabbed her hands and asked worriedly, “Enen, are you okay? I heard from them that young master flared up. Did he hurt you?”

Chi Enen shook her head. “I’m fine, Auntie Wang.”

“I’m glad that you’re fine, glad that you’re fine. Young master… He…” She wanted to say something but held back.

Now, Chi Enen did not feel like knowing anything about Li Beijue at all. She pursed her lips and did not probe, but Auntie Wang said on her own accord, “Enen, don’t be angry with young master. He doesn’t want to hurt you. It’s just that he can’t control his own temper.”

“What do you mean?”

“You should be aware. Young master has been suffering from mild paranoia. After your sudden departure five years ago, young master’s illness became even more serious. He even had insomnia. When it was at its most severe state, even taking medicine everyday did not help. Later on, young master recovered slightly after going abroad for one year of treatment. However, he still can’t control his temper.”

On her way back, Chi Enen kept thinking about Auntie Wang’s words.

Li Beijue suffered from paranoia and it was very serious.

His illness was most severe five years ago after she left without saying goodbye. He had taken medicine and even went abroad for treatment.

Chi Enen was in disbelief.

She was aware that Li Beijue had a very controlling personality. Years ago, when she was with him, he forbid her from coming into physical contact with other men. He did not even allow her to converse with them. However, there were scandals of him with other female celebrities from time to time. At that time, she completely did not think of it as paranoia. She only thought that he had the temperament of a rich man’s son. It was a classic case of a tyrant boss who could do whatever he liked, but the common people were not allowed the slightest bit of freedom.

It turned out that he had paranoia.

……

On the way home, Chi Enen was feeling very distracted. After reaching home, she poured herself a cup of water. She gradually regained her senses after warming her stomach.

On the next day, Chi Enen arrived at the film set punctually.

After shooting her scenes, she saw Sheng Aiyi waiting outside when she was leaving.

Chi Enen was not surprised as she had long expected Sheng Aiyi to look for her. Hence, she took the initiative to approach Sheng Aiyi.

“Sister Sheng, wait a minute. Let me pack my things first.”

She was so calm and it was not good for Sheng Aiyi to refuse. The latter nodded to express her acquiesce.

Chi Enen removed her outfit for the drama and passed them to the logistics personnel. She then walked to Sheng Aiyi again.

“Sorry to have kept you waiting.”

“It’s no problem.”

“Is Sister Sheng looking for me for something specific?”

“There is one thing that I would like to check with you.”

Throughout the entire process, Sheng Aiyi was observing her carefully. The stone bearing down on Sheng Aiyi’s heart felt increasingly heavier.

She could not refuse to admit that although Chi Enen was not considered a great beauty, she had an innate charisma that would naturally attract a man’s attention.

“I remember that you told me you have met Young Master Jue only once. My question is… did you lie to me?”

Chi Enen knew that Sheng Aiyi wanted to look for her to talk about Li Beijue. The day before, Li Beijue sent her to the sickbay in front of so many people. As the official girlfriend, it would be strange if Sheng Aiyi did not look for her to talk about this.

She would rather explain this clearly than to let Sheng Aiyi misunderstand.

Just as Chi Enen wanted to open her mouth and explain, Sheng Aiyi was already stroking her hair and the latter spoke first, “Don’t misunderstand. I’m not trying to dig into your past. I am able to guess your past relationship with Young Master Jue even if you don’t tell me.”

“The reason that I look for you today is to ask for a promise. I hope that you won’t appear in front of Young Master Jue again. If you do that, I’ll feel very troubled.”

She had the tone of an empress talking to the concubine.

Chi Enen took a deep breath and looked at Sheng Aiyi’s eyes. Calmly, she said, “Sister Sheng, don’t worry. I have never wanted to appear before Young Master Jue and you. I’ve never wanted to do so previously and won’t want to do that in the future as well.”

At this moment, Sheng Aiyi was staring at something behind her with an odd expression and nervous eyes.

“Young Master Jue.”

Chi Enen turned behind and followed her line of sight. True enough, she saw the man walking over from a short distance away. His face looked like the depth of winter that could subdue the cold weather in Siberia.

“Enen, don’t be angry at young master. He doesn’t wish to hurt you. It’s just that he can’t control his own temper.”

Chi Enen’s entire body trembled.

Li Beijue’s face stiffened and this thin lips were so tightly pursed that no curves could be seen. He approached the two ladies without any expression on his face.

Step by step…

Chi Enen’s heartbeat increased at every step that he took. Just as her heart almost stopped, the cold and aloof man walked past her to Sheng Aiyi without even casting her a glance.

Sheng Aiyi looked up at him nervously. Her eyes were panicky and she did not know how to explain herself. “Young Master Jue, I… ”

Li Beijue suddenly stretched out his hand, put it around her shoulder and pulled her into his arms in a domineering manner.

Sheng Aiyi’s pretty face blushed upon the sudden contact with the man’s sturdy chest.

“Ask me directly if you have any questions next time. Don’t ask irrelevant people.”

Cold, aloof, distant.

She completely could not tell that this was the person who claimed yesterday that he still had feelings for her.

This would be the best.

Chi Enen heaved a sigh of relief, turned and quietly left.

Right after she left…

In the next second, Li Beijue released the hand around Sheng Aiyi’s shoulder and said in a cold and stern manner, “I have something urgent to do now.”

Sheng Aiyi took a step forward and called out to him.

“Young Master Jue, my auntie wishes to invite you for dinner today. Do you have time?”

“I’m not available.”

When he finished his words, he had already walked far away.
