Madam Li’s Identity Is Exposed Again!

Li Beijue’s gaze lifted imperiously; he glanced at her impatiently, his thin lips pressed together briefly, “My standard is whatever pleases my eye.” But to this day, there was only one woman who pleased his eye.

So, Chi Enen was the standard.

The female host was befuddled upon hearing this and wanted to ask more questions, but seeing his impatience, she wisely held her tongue. The topic shifted to the finance section. Chi Enen didn’t understand any of it and zoned out while clutching the cloth.

Ever since they had parted ways three months earlier not on good terms, she hadn’t seen this man for a long time, and these past few months she had even deliberately avoided news about him. For some reason, seeing him this time, even through the screen, she felt that he looked somewhat pale, as though he had just recovered from a serious illness…

Was Li Beijue sick?

Was it because he was too tired? Or… because of her?

Although she felt the possibility was very slim because of her, the thought still made Chi Enen’s heart skip a beat.

She picked up the television remote control from the tea table and clicked the TV off.

The house finally quieted down.

It couldn’t possibly be because of her, right?

She had analyzed it seriously; Li Beijue’s declaration that he liked her was probably just because she had taken a hit for him, a momentary touch of gratitude.

Yes, it definitely couldn’t be because of her.

Chi Enen exhaled and, discarding the messy thoughts in her head, adjusted her attitude and began to clean up again.

She came to clean the villa every week, so it was very tidy. It only needed simple dusting of the furniture and the floors. However, the villa was large, and even just dusting the furniture and floors took her almost one and a half hours to finish.

After completing these tasks, Chi Enen didn’t rest. She quickly washed her hands clean, put on an apron, and opened the refrigerator.

As usual, the refrigerator was filled with a variety of vegetables and meats.

She selected a few items and took them to the kitchen.

Her secret marriage husband had said that he had a relative in Capital City who was sick and wanted to eat home-cooked dishes. He asked if she could help make some after cleaning every week and leave it at home; the driver would deliver the food to the hospital after dropping her off.

Having received such a big favor from someone, Chi Enen naturally had no objections to cleaning and cooking once a week. She turned on the faucet and began washing the bright red tomatoes one by one, lost in thought.

Cooking, cooking… what to cook today?

The patient should eat something light. Last week she had made Mushroom Chicken Stew, Smooth Fish Meatballs, and Stir-Fried Sea Cucumber with Green Onion… What about this week? She surely couldn’t just make Stir-Fried Tomato and Eggs, right?

The tomatoes tumbled in the water while Chi Enen skillfully washed them each clean, setting them aside once done. Suddenly, an idea for a light dish came to her—Tomato Beef Brisket!

No time like the present.

She hurriedly opened the refrigerator and indeed, there was fresh beef brisket inside.

She took out the brisket and grabbed wax gourd and pork ribs on the way, busying herself with the preparation.

Tomato Beef Brisket, Pork Rib and Winter Melon Soup… a few more side dishes, and that should be enough.

She calculated the time; it would have to do even if it wasn’t enough. She was already leaving work late, and if she didn’t go home soon, her Bae Chi would get antsy.

Chi Enen’s knife skills were lightning fast, and she was very agile.

An hour later, most of the dishes were ready, with only the Pork Rib and Winter Melon Soup still simmering on the stove.

She untied her apron, turned the heat down to the lowest setting, and walked out.

The living room, cleaned spotless, glowed beautifully in the afterglow of the sunset. Pleased with the fruits of her labor, she smiled happily. Ignoring her fatigue, she picked up her bag from the sofa and took out her mobile phone.

As expected, her phone was flooded with messages from Bae Chi.

— Woman, haven’t you gotten off work yet?

— I just remembered, you have overtime every Friday.

— When are you coming to pick me up? I’m so bored.

— Hey, woman, I’m home now. Teacher Nick dropped me off. What about you? Still working?

— Why aren’t you replying to my messages? Chi Enen, you’re not cheating, are you?

— Are you really with a man? Reply to my messages fast!
