Was Li Beijue busy with important matters, or did he simply not want to see her?
Chi Enen gripped her mobile phone tightly, moving her lips and pleading, “Butler Huo, 1 really have something very important and I want to meet him in person. It’s okay if he’s not available right now, I can wait.”
Huo Yi could hear the anxiety in her voice and after hesitating for a moment said, “How about this? I will ask Master Jue when he might have some time, and then I’ll arrange for Miss Chi to come over.”
“Okay.”
Chi Enen knew this was the best outcome she could expect. She nodded and hung up the phone.
She thought she would have to wait until evening for a callback from Huo Yi, but just ten minutes after hanging up, her phone rang again with a call from him.
Chi Enen immediately answered, “Hello?”
“Miss Chi, where are you now? I am going to pick you up right away.”
She was going to see Li Beijue so soon?
Chi Enen, for the first time, was so happy about the prospect of seeing this man. She quickly gave Huo Yi her address and asked nervously, “Does he have time to meet me now?”
“Well, how should I put this… Anyway, Master Jue has asked me to bring Miss Chi over. However, if Miss Chi needs to discuss anything with Master Jue, you might still have to wait a bit. In any case, you’ll understand once you’re here. I will send a car to pick you up right away, just wait at home.”
“…Um, okay.”
Huo Yi was always efficient in handling matters.
In a short while, a car arrived at the community to pick her up.
Chi Enen had calmed down considerably, sitting in the car and quietly watching the scenery speeding by outside the window.
She had made up her mind that, no matter what, no matter what the cost, she would try her best to fight for Baby Chi’s custody.
The car stopped in front of a magnificent building.
The driver handed over the ID card to the security guard, who checked it, and then the car was allowed to drive straight in.
It was then that Chi Enen noticed the difference in this place.
Almost everyone outside was in military uniform, with variances like two stars with two stripes, or one star with one stripe. Besides these, there were also many journalists, different from those she’d seen in the entertainment circle: solemn and serious, with not a hint of frivolity or gossip in their demeanors. They looked as serious as if the cameras in their hands were cannons…
The driver parked the car to the side and helped her open the car door.
Chi Enen got out of the car.
Immediately, many eyes turned toward her.
After all, everyone else was in uniform, and she was the only one in civilian clothes; it was impossible not to stand out. With so many eyes on her, Chi Enen didn’t know where to put her hands and feet.
Fortunately, at this moment, Huo Yi arrived.
“Sorry to keep Miss Chi waiting,” he apologized.
Chi Enen forced a smile and shook her head, “I’ve just arrived too. Uh, Butler Huo, where is Li Beijue?”
“Miss Chi, follow me.” As Huo Yi led her inside, he explained, “Master Jue is preparing for the military exercise, and he asked me to arrange for Miss Chi to be seated in the viewing area first.”
“Military, military exercise?” Chi Enen stuttered, finally recalling where she was. She thought it looked oddly familiar, like places often briefly shown on the News Broadcast. Though only glimpsed in passing, repeated viewings still left an impression.
She was attending a military exercise, was that really okay?
Regarding this, Huo Yi was even more troubled than she was; he simply couldn’t understand why Master Jue insisted on bringing Miss Chi to such an important event.
“Yes, there is a major military exercise today, and Master Jue is the Commander. Anyway, please, Miss Chi, don’t wander off later, and wait until after the military exercise to discuss matters with Master Jue.”
“…Okay..”
