Chapter 2248: 2257: Suddenly So Busy That He Disappeared for Several Days

"But...""I’m meeting a guest, you go rest." His attitude is aggressive, but Chi Enen could sense the care in his aggressive demeanor.

She didn’t insist any further, followed the servant back to Li Beijue’s room, and went to rest.

She had slept on the airplane earlier, and now, trying to sleep again, she couldn’t. So she found the laptop and browsed the online news about her.

After reading, she contacted Ryan and checked an emergency response meeting.

After a busy round of work, it was already dark outside.

It wasn’t until after nine in the evening that Li Beijue came.

They ate dinner with Old Master Li, picked Baby Chi and the others up from the airport, and put the two little guys to sleep. Chi Enen was already exhausted and fell asleep as soon as she hit the bed.

Before she fell asleep, she vaguely remembered the man working in the study room hadn’t returned to the bedroom to rest...

The same situation occurred over the next few days.

Li Beijue seemed to suddenly become busy, and basically, throughout the day, she sometimes didn’t even see him.

He would leave home while she was still asleep in the morning.

He would come back at night when she had already fallen asleep.

After several days of this, Chi Enen felt odd and pondered whether she should find some time to wait for him and ask what he’s been busy with recently.

She wasn’t worried about him messing around outside.

She was mainly afraid he might be encountering some problems at work, wondering if she could lend a hand.

She decided to act on it. In the afternoon, she took Baby Chi to the supermarket and bought a lot of seafood.

She discussed the dinner menu with Qiao Yimo, planning to wait for him to come back for dinner together.

She was just about to call the man she hadn’t seen for several days and mention this when Quan Dongting called her, "Hi, Little Uncle."

"Enen, you’re back in Country W?"

"Just got back. What’s up, Little Uncle?" Chi Enen put the pepper powder into the bottle, holding the mobile phone to her ear with her head, continuing their call.

"Oh, nothing. I wanted to ask if you’re free tonight to accompany me to a banquet. I couldn’t find a female companion." Quan Dongting sounded helpless mentioning this.

Upon hearing this, Chi Enen immediately understood. He was definitely being urged to marry by grandma again.

Most likely, grandma had arranged a female companion for him, using the companion’s name to set him up for a blind date, which he refused. So he turned the situation into having no female companion and asked her to step in.

She thought about her evening schedule, just about to refuse, then remembered this was Quan Dongting’s first time asking for her help. After pausing for a moment, she still agreed, "I’m free. Where is it? Should I go directly to meet you, Little Uncle?"

"I’ll have the driver pick you up later. I’ll send you the address."

"Okay."

Chi Enen hung up the phone.

She helplessly said to Qiao Yimo who was busy in the kitchen, "Sorry, Yimo, I probably won’t be able to join dinner tonight. I have something to attend to this evening. Please help me take care of Baby Chi and the others. Butler Huo will come over soon. I’ll leave after he arrives."

Qiao Yimo had taken good care of her back in Mauritius. Furthermore, Chi Enen really liked her kind and non-intrusive personality. She’d also heard that the incident with the elevator was resolved thanks to Qiao Yimo’s early detection, finding Li Beijue, and saving her. She decided to keep Qiao Yimo around, but not as a servant, more as a carer for Nuonuo.

Qiao Yimo was diligent in her job, taking great care of Nuonuo in recent days, and never attempted to approach Li Beijue. Furthermore, Chi Enen noticed she seemed a bit afraid of Li Beijue.

Generally, when Chi Enen wasn’t around, Qiao Yimo wouldn’t even dare to approach Li Beijue.

She didn’t know what Li Beijue did to make Qiao Yimo so afraid of him.

But it’s better for Qiao Yimo to fear Li Beijue than for her to try to get close to him. Even with her good temper, Chi Enen didn’t like other women trying to seduce her lawful husband.
