Chapter 273: Chapter 273: Isn’t It Just a Woman, Is It Worth It?

The mobile phone lay on the pillow in the bedroom. Chi Enen picked it up and checked, but there was not a single text message, let alone a missed call.

“Huff~” Chi Enen let out a deep sigh, her heart filled with unease. She didn’t possess the confidence she had just now when telling Baby Chi that her father wouldn’t be so petty. She found Li Beijue’s phone number and summoned the courage to call it.

“Beep…”

It connected!

Chi Enen had already thought about how she would apologize later.

But although the call connected, the ringing went on and on; Li Beijue just wouldn’t pick up.

“Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable. We will inform the recipient with a text message later. Sorry, you…”

Chi Enen’s eyes dimmed, and she put the phone down.

…

On the other side.

In the private room of Lan Club.

The man with a cold face had been drinking from the beginning to the end without uttering a word.

Si Chen, massaging his forehead and feeling somewhat headache-ridden, wrapped his arm around the shoulder of the beauty next to him and said helplessly, “I say, Beijue, are you planning on drinking yourself to death here tonight? That’s enough now, if you keep drinking, I’m going to call your woman.”

He called me over with just one phone call. Fine, but after calling me here, not a word does he speak, just keeps on drinking.

Si Chen really felt like crying without tears.

From earlier until now, he’s nearly spoken himself dry, talked for so long, and his big master couldn’t even give him a proper reply. Wanting him here, but not even willing to grunt ‘hm’ in acknowledgment, what’s the meaning of all this?

“Buzz…”

The phone on the table vibrated once again.

Si Chen glanced at the man who was still drinking without a word and picked up the phone to look, “A call from Enen?”

“Give it to me!” The man who was just concerned with drinking finally gave him an earnest look, reaching out with his falcon-like eyes shrouded in haze.

Si Chen handed over the phone, saying, “Here.”

Li Beijue took the phone, eyes locked on the name flashing on the screen, and for half a moment, he didn’t pick up the call.

The light on the phone screen flickered for a dozen seconds before fading to darkness—

Although he was the one who chose not to answer the phone, once the call ended, his face was uglier than anyone else’s! With a bang, he tossed the phone onto the sofa!

He actually refused to pick up Chi Enen’s call?!

Even though Si Chen was naïve, he realized they had quarreled, and he now felt more troubled than ever. Choosing his words carefully, he tentatively asked, “Beijue, what’s going on between you and Enen…?”

Chi Enen… Li Beijue’s features were tensely drawn, as he coldly picked up the glass of red wine in front of him and downed it in one gulp.

Watching him about to pour himself another drink, Si Chen couldn’t stand it anymore, snatched his wine glass away, frowned, and chastised irritably, “You can’t drink anymore! I’ve warned you before that you can’t drink until your wound has scabbed over. If you don’t want to live anymore, then keep drinking!”

Li Beijue disregarded him, picked up another wine glass from the side, and began pouring again.

Si Chen was provoked into laughter, snatching his wine glass again, and deepened his tone, “Did you and Chi Enen have a fight? So you had a fight, it’s just a woman, right? Do you really need to drown your sorrows in alcohol for that?”

He was speaking the truth; after all, it’s just a woman. With Li Beijue’s worth, what kind of woman couldn’t he have? Is it worth it to drown his troubles in alcohol over a woman?

“Give me the glass.” Li Beijue’s gaze towards him was ice-cold.

That look was bone-chilling cold.

Like the cutting wind of deep winter, capable of chilling someone to the bone!
