Chapter 501: Chapter 501: Li Beijue’s Heart Blossoms with Joy
Ji Ranran could tell that Chi Enen was talking about them and couldn’t believe accusingly, “You eavesdropped on our conversation?!”
“You were speaking so loudly, it would have been hard not to hear. Besides, you were talking about my boyfriend and even brought me up. As the person concerned, shouldn’t I listen?” Chi Enen stood her ground without yielding an inch.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Seeing Chi Enen’s unabashed demeanor, and Li Beijue, though he hadn’t said a word, clearly showing a protective and indulgent attitude, Ji Ranran was starting to feel disordered. She instinctively turned to ask Sheng Aiyi, “Aiyi, what is this all about? Weren’t you just claiming to be Young Master Li’s girlfriend? Why is she now saying she’s the actual girlfriend of Young Master Li?”
Sheng Aiyi had never disliked Ji Ranran’s naivety so much; the words of Chi Enen had already left her with no way to save face, and Ji Ranran’s interrogation felt like being roasted over an open flame.
She looked up at the tall and handsome man, her beautiful eyes filled with pleas and helplessness.
Chi Enen saw it too, her eyebrows suddenly knitting together as she moved a step to the left, blocking Sheng Aiyi’s view, staring coldly at her, “Miss Sheng, what are you looking at my boyfriend for? Your friend is asking you a question, you don’t answer her, and just keep staring at my boyfriend, that’s not very nice, is it?”
Her repeated mention of ‘boyfriend,’ was soft yet firm, making Li Beijue’s heart blossom with joy.
He suppressed his desire, or else he would have taken her home right then, laid her on the bed, and listened to her say it in an even softer tone.
But his bright eyes locked on Chi Enen, a gaze impossible for anyone to ignore!
Ji Ranran and Sheng Aiyi certainly saw his look too. Ji Ranran grew even more doubtful, while Sheng Aiyi’s face turned even uglier. She opened her mouth and offered a forced explanation, “Ranran, I never said I was Young Master Li’s girlfriend. It’s always you who’ve been calling me Young Master Li’s girlfriend; you misinterpreted it all by yourself.”
Ji Ranran’s eyes widened as if she was seeing her for the first time, “You just admitted that you were Young Master Li’s girlfriend, and you mentioned that Young Master Li’s identity is exceptional, so it’s inevitable that women will throw themselves at him! Are you saying you didn’t?”
“I did say…”
“Then you…”
Sheng Aiyi quickly interjected, “You’ve been misunderstanding me as Young Master Li’s girlfriend, I didn’t know how to tell you, so I never clarified. Then when you told me about people saying Young Master Li has been accompanied by a woman recently, I simply discussed the fact, stating that someone of Young Master Li’s status is bound to have women who admire him. Besides, Young Master Li is so outstanding.”
She paused, as if to put a seal on her words, “That’s all I meant. You’re the one who linked two things together and misunderstood my point.”
While she was openly addressing Ji Ranran, in fact, she was also insinuating that Chi Enen was overly jealous, acting out of turn in front of Li Beijue, being petty and impulsive. At the same time, she cleverly praised Li Beijue’s excellence.
Ji Ranran felt she had finally understood. All this time, she had been defending her friend out of loyalty, but Sheng Aiyi was using her as a pawn. At a crucial moment, she even tried to shift all the blame onto her! Furious, Ji Ranran glared at Sheng Aiyi, scoffed coldly, “Sheng Aiyi, not everyone in this world is a fool except for you! You think others are fools, but don’t realize how foolish you look! Fine, let it be my misunderstanding this time. I can misjudge you once, but even if you beg me in the future, I won’t make that mistake again!”
What do you think?
