Madam Li's Identity Is Exposed Again!

Chapter 2378: Chapter 2387: Reconciled as Before

She spoke earnestly, and the originally impatient man couldn’t help but listen. His tense jawline relaxed a bit as he pulled her over, ”I know.”

He knew she would be upset.

Because he had just experienced that feeling of distress himself.

The feeling that his heart was about to die could still be recalled.

”There’s nothing between me and that woman. I’ll be more careful in the future.”

Anyway, he had already made sure that woman was being watched.

Just because she dared to go behind his back to find Chi Enen, spread lies about her, and afterwards dared to hide it, deceive him by saying she hadn’t met Chi Enen, was enough reason for him to crush that woman.

But that woman still had her uses...

She had hurt Chi Enen so deeply before, it’s only right to let her take a knife for Chi Enen!

He pulled Chi Enen onto the bed, dominantly encircling her, resting his head on top of hers, like a lion, completely trapping her in his arms, ”Alright, sleep!”

”...Oh.”

With the misunderstanding resolved, Chi Enen’s mood improved a lot. Although being held tightly was uncomfortable, she still let him hold her, leaning against his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat.

She barely closed her eyes, feeling drowsy and about to sleep, when she heard his husky voice coming from above, ”Chi Enen, I want to hear you talk.”

Her nerves had been taut the whole day, now she was relaxed, her head fuzzy, murmuring without opening her eyes, ”About what?”

Li Beijue turned over, changing his pose to hug her tighter, ”Anything you want.”

He just wanted to hear her voice.

That way, he could feel like he truly had her.

Otherwise, as soon as he closed his eyes, the residual suffocating feeling in his heart would come over him again, making it impossible to sleep...

Chi Enen reluctantly opened her eyes. The light in the bedroom was dim, making her want to sleep. Her eyelids drooped as she spoke in a slow, drawn-out voice, ”A long, long time ago, there was an ancient kingdom. The King and Queen had a beautiful daughter. When the little princess was born, her skin was as white as snow, like an angel. So, the King named her Snow White. Unfortunately, not long after giving birth to Snow White, the Queen passed away. The King married a new Queen, who was very beautiful but had a strange temper. She also had a magic mirror...”

She was telling the story in the same tone as a bedtime story for Nuonuo.

This Snow White story, she had told Baby Chi many times, and again for Nuonuo, she almost knew it by heart. Not even closing her eyes affected her storytelling as Chi Enen yawned, closed her eyes, and continued speaking in a slow, steady tone.

Li Beijue, though he had his gripes with the Snow White story, found comfort in her soft voice, and coupled with the fact she was in his arms, his sense of unease faded significantly. He closed his eyes and began to drift into sleep...

Chi Enen didn’t even know how long she had been talking, relying purely on determination to finish without falling asleep halfway. Finally, she concluded with the last line, ”And the prince and princess lived happily ever after...”

Then she yawned, opened her eyes to check drowsily. Assured that the breathing of the person beside her had steadied, she closed her eyes, allowing herself to slip into slumber...

The night was still long.
