Chapter 410: 410: Mother of Li Beijue Arrives
Clearly, he just wanted to cheer her up, yet he wouldn’t admit it.
Chi Enen was torn between laughter and tears, but she felt so touched, it almost overflowed.
Li Beijue still seemed unsatisfied, tossing her a box, his handsome face turning slightly aside, looking somewhat unnatural, “For you.”
“What is this?” Chi Enen caught the box and instinctively opened it.
Inside the brocade box lay a necklace, with a small stone-like object hanging from the silver chain, the surface of the stone carved with lines that looked like text and drawings.
She looked more and more familiar with it, yet couldn’t remember where she had seen it before.
Seeing her holding the necklace without trying it on, Li Beijue snatched the necklace away, lifted her hair, and helped her wear it around her neck.
“This is a meteorite, Chi Enen. I can’t give you an aunt, so I’m giving you the stars instead.”
Chi Enen, pinching the pendant, suddenly remembered where she had seen this strangely shaped little stone, after hearing what he said!
She stammered, asking, “Where, where did you get this from?”
Qin Nan had shown her a news piece once, saying it was to be used for the radio station’s broadcast that day. The news mentioned that an archaeological team discovered a rare meteorite pendant during an excavation in ancient Country T. The text carved into the pendant was later translated by literature and history experts from Country T into four words—’lifetime of deep love’!
The media hailed the pendant at that time as the Star Gem, and it was a hot topic for a while.
Later on, the Star Gem pendant was bought by a mysterious rich person for 300 million, and its whereabouts became unknown after that.
Chi Enen couldn’t believe that the genuinely valuable star, worth 300 million, was now hanging around her neck.
“Anyway, it wasn’t stolen,” said Li Beijue, inhaling the faint fragrance emanating from her body, feeling an urge to merge her into his very marrow. He narrowed his falcon-like eyes and pulled away slightly, “Chi Enen, Min rakastan sinua.”
The meteor shower in the sky continued its relentless pass.
Chi Enen lifted a truly relaxed smile for the first time in several days, light shining from her amidst the starry night.
Min rakastan sinua, Li Beijue thought she wouldn’t understand, but she knew that word; it was Finnish for ‘I love you’.
…
Returning from the graveyard, Chi Enen was still immersed in shock and sweetness.
However, as soon as they returned to the hospital,
she felt the atmosphere there was off.
Huo Yi, seeing them come back, hesitated with a strange look, as if holding something back.
“What is it, out with it,” Li Beijue was impatient, ever the bad-tempered man, grasping Chi Enen’s hand with every cell exuding an air of ‘speak up or get lost.’
Huo Yi stole a glance towards Chi Enen and, with some trepidation, said, “Madam has come to see Miss Chi.”
Madam?
The mother of Li Beijue had come?
Chi Enen’s fingers suddenly clenched her clothes tightly, her eyes bewildered.
She had met the beautiful and noble Madam once, and on their first meeting, she had handed her a check for 2 million to leave Li Beijue’s side.
At that time, she was pregnant, and her grandfather was lying in the Intensive Care Unit waiting for surgery. Moreover, she had been frightened by Li Beijue’s possessiveness at the time and could hardly say whether she liked him or not. So she agreed to leave him for the mother of Li Beijue, on the condition that she would be given 5 million.
