Chapter 2367: Chapter 2376: Chi Enen Never Fell Asleep

"What does Master Jue have to say to the Young Lady face-to-face that she would certainly believe Master Jue."

The handsome man’s eyes were bloodshot. He held down the wine bottle with one hand, lifted his head, and glanced at him, "Didn’t you just say Chi Enen was very disappointed in me?"

Huo Yi finally understood what it meant to shoot oneself in the foot.

"I... didn’t mean that. I meant to say that the Young Lady was a bit sad after seeing those photos."

In his dictionary, sadness equaled disappointment.

Li Beijue’s heart ached for a moment. He withdrew his gaze and said to him, "Don’t worry about me. I want some peace."

"But Master Jue..."

Li Beijue was in an exceedingly bad mood, furrowing his eyebrows and interrupting him, "Don’t bother me!"

Huo Yi truly regretted telling him about the Young Lady having coffee with Young Master Lie in the afternoon.

If he’d known, he wouldn’t have said a word, and Master Jue wouldn’t be in such a foul mood.

Huo Yi let go of his hand and could only temporarily leave the Living room.

In the blink of an eye, Li Beijue drank the entire bottle of whiskey. His stomach and throat were burning as if on fire, feeling so uncomfortable it was suffocating.

But no discomfort felt as bad as the discomfort in his heart.

His heart ached dully, like someone was grinding lightly on his heart with a knife wrapped in gauze. That faint, dull pain tugged at the nerves, pulling at the nerves in his brain painfully.

"Ugh."

Suddenly, a strong pang of pain hit Li Beijue’s stomach, causing his whole body to curl up.

The pain came swiftly and sharply, causing his entire stomach to protest. Under the sharp stabbing pain, a layer of cold sweat quickly formed on his forehead, and his fair face turned deathly pale from the intense pain.

...

In the bedroom, Chi Enen hadn’t actually fallen asleep all along.

She heard the sound of Li Beijue returning and also the sound of him trying to open the door lock, she just pretended to be asleep because she didn’t want to open the door.

She lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

After turning over twice, she felt a bit hot, so she threw off the quilt, turned on the bedside lamp, and sat up.

The enormous bedroom was empty. Chi Enen sat for a few minutes, then fretfully forced herself to lie down, cover up with the quilt, and closed her eyes...

The quartz clock in the room ticked away, and the sky gradually turned completely dark.

The more she slept, the more awake her brain became, as if time had slowed to the point where each second was split into halves moving along.

No matter what Chi Enen did, she couldn’t fall asleep. She opened her eyes again and turned over restlessly. Supporting her head with her left hand, she completely changed positions, lying on her side.

She thought this would help her to sleep, but it felt like there was something hanging over her, unfinished, no matter how much she closed her eyes and told herself to stop thinking and get some rest first. Her mind was clear, wandering in thought, unable to sleep!

To make things worse, besides not being able to sleep, her throat was particularly dry, and she really wanted a drink of water.

Chi Enen initially tried to endure it.

But after failing to sleep, the senses were indefinitely magnified, and the more she tried to ignore the dryness in her throat, the more it felt parched, desperately wanting to drink water...

After wrestling with herself for quite some time, she still couldn’t hold back, threw off the quilt, put on the pajamas, and got up...

Chi Enen opened the room door.

She walked straight toward the refrigerator.

She entered the kitchen, boiled some water for herself, made a cup of honey water, and was about to take it back to her room.

As she walked into the Living room, she noticed something was wrong; there was a strong smell of alcohol in the Living room.
