Madam Li’s Identity Is Exposed Again!

Three minutes later, Chi Enen returned the thermometer to him.

Si Chen looked at it and said, “38.1 degrees. She’s running a slight fever. I’ll give her an IV drip later; let someone make some porridge for her. She should eat something before taking medication.”

“I got it.”

Li Beijue went downstairs to give the instructions.

In the upstairs bedroom, only Chi Enen and Si Chen remained. Si Chen, while putting away the thermometer, suddenly said, “Enen, I want to ask you something.”

“Hmm?” Chi Enen was surprised, “What is it?”

“Did you have a quarrel with Beijue before?”

“…” Chi Enen did not make a sound.

Yesterday wasn’t exactly a quarrel, it was just Li Beijue giving her the silent treatment.

Si Chen thought she had admitted it and frowned disapprovingly, “I know Beijue has a bad temper, and you might have to put up with some difficulties in dealing with him. But I hope you understand him; he really likes you. You know he has paranoia, right? People with this kind of personality flaw often become overbearing and self-absorbed, and they can easily go to extremes.”

“But you see, apart from confining you before, what has he done that’s so extreme?”

“…No.” Apart from imprisoning her against her will in Rainy City, Li Beijue really hadn’t done anything particularly extreme. If anything, he had been the one to harm himself. Even if his fist struck the railing in the Amusement Park, it never came down on her.

Si Chen, trying to suppress his dissatisfaction, continued, “Nothing, right? So, I hope you can understand him. Don’t always hold him to the same standards as you would an ordinary person. You may think he doesn’t handle some things very well, but try to see it from his perspective. Maybe he’s already doing his best to restrain himself and change.”

If it weren’t for Beijue’s efforts to restrain himself, Chi Enen wouldn’t have been able to live peacefully in Capital City for so long.

She would have been taken to Country Y the moment she was discovered, completely stripped of her freedom! Nor would he allow her to live alone with the Li Family’s Third Generation Heir. He also wouldn’t have spent every sleepless evening taking medication and listening to her show just to get some shallow sleep…

This man, Li Beijue, was domineering and forceful, but towards those who entered his heart, he was always a hundred percent sincere. So, as a friend, he hoped Chi Enen would be kinder to Li Beijue.

“I understand,” Chi Enen’s flush had faded quite a bit from her face, and she pursed the corners of her mouth, promising, “I’ll try to consider things from his perspective more in the future.”

“Thank you,” Si Chen let out a sigh of relief, feeling reassured.

In his heart of hearts, he was quite fond of Chi Enen. After all, she was one of the few women who weren’t pretentious or greedy. It was just that yesterday he saw his friend suffering so much that he couldn’t help feeling dissatisfied with Chi Enen. Now that he’d spoken openly, that dissatisfaction had dissipated.

“Oh, Enen. I need to apologize to you.”

“Hmm?”

“Last night, Beijue was drinking at my Lan Club, and I took the liberty to open a Presidential Suite for him upstairs. Seeing him in such a bad state, I took the initiative to find a woman for him.” Si Chen found it a bit difficult to continue, awkwardly adding, “Beijue didn’t touch her at all; he immediately sent the woman out. But later I asked her, and she said she answered your phone while Beijue was bathing, and deleted the call record. She didn’t say anything out of line, did she?”
