Chapter 44 - 44: Cover Him with a Blanket
On the super luxurious private jet flying to Ryukyu Island.
Chi Enen once again experienced what true luxury was! The most advanced equipment, understated yet opulent decor, television, sofa, everything was available. If it weren’t for the beautiful flight attendants moving up and down the aisle, Chi Enen might have thought she was in the Presidential Suite of a seven-star hotel.
This was Chi Enen’s first time on such a luxurious airplane, with so many people attending to her. She felt so uncomfortable that she sat straight on the sofa, just like a primary school student.
Li Beijue had been embracing his laptop and stuffing earplugs in his ears ever since he boarded the plane, occasionally speaking into the headset. He spoke in the language of Country W, and Chi Enen only understood a few simple words; the rest was like listening to scriptures.
The lovely air hostess noticed her bored look, came over, bent down, and asked with a perfect smile on her face, “Miss Chi, would you like a blanket?”
Chi Enen didn’t feel cold, but she didn’t want to refuse her, politely saying, “Please give me one.”
She glanced at the man who was still in a video conference, pursed her lips, and then changed her mind, “Actually, could you please give me two?”
“Certainly.”
The air hostess smiled gently, straightened up, and went back into the cabin.
In a short while, she came out holding two blankets.
“Miss Chi, here are the blankets you asked for. Would you like me to cover you with them?”
“No. No need.”
Chi Enen wasn’t used to being waited on like this and declined her help, extending her hand to take them. Only after taking the blankets did she realize that the air hostess had prepared not just blankets for her but also two eye masks.
Chi Enen covered her legs with one blanket. She looked at the other, feeling somewhat uneasy.
Should she give it directly to Li Beijue?
He would surely say that she was brown-nosing again.
Not give it to him?
Having it brought over and not giving it to him seemed rude as well.
Chi Enen looked at the blanket in her hand, bit her lip, and still decided to offer it to the person beside her. After all, she was only passing it to him out of mutual assistance between companions; how he interpreted it was not her concern.
Having made up her mind, Chi Enen felt instantly more relaxed. She extended the blanket to him, “Do you want it?”
Li Beijue’s first reaction was annoyance when his video conference was suddenly disrupted in the middle. But when he saw the blanket extended toward him, that irritation vanished without a trace. He gestured for a pause to the person on the other end of the video, removing his headset. His dark eyes locked onto the little lady’s face as he said in a husky voice, “Help me cover up.”
“Cover yourself,” Chi Enen said somewhat speechlessly. He wasn’t handless; it was just covering with a blanket, after all.
This affected woman, it was just helping cover him with a blanket, what’s the point of making such a fuss?
“1 want you to cover me!” Forcefully, domineeringly!!
Having no choice, Chi Enen stood up, unfolded the blanket, and bent down to cover his legs with it.
Mission accomplished!
“Okay…” Before she could finish, her wrist was already seized, and with a pull, she tumbled into the man’s embrace.
“What are you doing?” She placed her hands on the man’s chest, struggling to stand up.
“Be quiet!” Li Beijue wasn’t about to give her a chance to stand up, forcefully pulling her into his hold. He reopened his laptop, put his earplugs back in, lightly touched his thin lips, and said to the person on the video, “La Commission poursuit (The meeting continues).”
Chi Enen, with her back to the video and unable to break free or speak up, could only look up at the man above her in a daze..
