Chapter 2396: Chapter 2405: Waiting for Her with Every Footstep

"Ugh—" Chi Enen retched severely, but aside from the nausea, she couldn’t actually throw up anything; her stomach was just uncomfortable.

She was holding back fiercely, tears were choked out, and amid her coughing, she didn’t forget to argue with a certain person, "And you still don’t call that fast?"

"You can ask Huo Yi, I usually drive at 120 mph."

Today, he drove at 90 mph just to accommodate her.

Who knew she’d still get motion sickness.

Chi Enen was left speechless, her stomach was too uncomfortable, she didn’t even want to deal with him. She simply closed her eyes to adjust herself.

Li Beijue looked at her pale white side face, already regretting it. His thin lips tightened, and as if unintentionally, he reached out his hand and clumsily patted her back twice.

He wasn’t good at taking care of people, originally intending to help Chi Enen catch her breath, but he was too heavy-handed, making Chi Enen even more suspicious that he was taking the opportunity to mistreat her.

Luckily, Li Beijue himself realized he was too forceful and lightened his movements.

He silently helped Chi Enen catch her breath, until Chi Enen felt embarrassed and called to him, "Okay, Li Beijue, I’m fine now."

"Really fine?" He raised his eyebrows, still somewhat in doubt.

Chi Enen raised both hands, "Really, I swear."

Only then did he withdraw his hand, showing a displeased pout on his handsome face, "I’ve been telling you to eat more, eat more, but you never listen, eating just a bit, how can your body be well?"

His voice wasn’t particularly loud, but it wasn’t so quiet that Chi Enen couldn’t hear it from this close.

Chi Enen’s lips twitched slightly as she said, "I’ve eaten a lot already, but my stomach is only so big, what can I do?"

"The stomach expands, eat more and it’ll grow bigger."

What kind of twisted logic was that, did he think the stomach was like a balloon, the bigger the better? Even if the stomach were a balloon, overinflating it would make it prone to bursting.

Chi Enen found it hard to communicate with him and simply stopped arguing, "By the way, Li Beijue, why did you bring me here?"

"This place is..." 𝘧𝓇ℯℴ𝓂

"The detention center." The man with a stern handsome face, unhappy with her poor health, replied in a deep voice, raising his arm to glance at the watch on his wrist, saying, "The time is about right."

"Let’s go."

"What time?"

Chi Enen’s left hand was already held by him, fingers tightly entwined.

She had no choice but to keep up with his pace.

He was tall with long legs, walking briskly so that under normal speed Chi Enen would have to jog to catch up with his stride. But unexpectedly, this time he seemed to deliberately pace his speed, slowing down considerably, basically matching her pace, allowing Chi Enen to keep up effortlessly.

He probably had already made arrangements with the people here, and after they checked his identity, they immediately led him inside.

"President Li, this way."

They walked through the corridor, finally stopping at a room doorway.

The person who led them here whispered with the guard, who opened the room door for them, "You two can sit inside, I’ll arrange things for you shortly."

"Okay."

Li Beijue tightened his grip on Chi Enen’s hand, pulling her inside, "Come on, let’s go in."

"Oh."

Chi Enen followed him inside and realized it was a room for visiting prisoners. Surveillance cameras were arranged all around, and as soon as they entered, they were within the monitored area.
