Madam Li’s Identity Is Exposed Again!

Chapter 1996 - 2006: Learning That Chi Enen and Xi Zelie Had a Childhood Engagement

"Sugar, Bro-bro is the best, I like Bro-bro the most! Nuonuo has to be the most obedient, be good."

Old Lady Habsden watched her little granddaughter being coaxed by a few candies to the point where she wasn’t sure where she was, and despite feeling frustrated, she negotiated with her, "Nuonuo, how about playing with your aunt on the side for a while?"

Nuonuo blinked her big eyes, looked at her, and then at her father, and obediently nodded, "Okay."

Old Lady Habsden gave the maid beside her a look, and the maid immediately understood and picked up Li Yinuo, taking her to play on the side.

Once Nuonuo walked away.

She then put away the loving smile on her face, looked at Li Beijue seriously, and said, "Sit."

Li Beijue sat down and handed the gift he had prepared earlier to her, "I should have visited you a long time ago, but have consistently been unable to find a suitable time. I sincerely apologize, Old Madam. This is just a small token of my appreciation, please accept it."

Old Lady Habsden took a sip of tea, had someone beside her accept the gift, and started to assess him.

When she was with family, she was just an old grandma who disliked eating vegetables and sometimes acted as childish as young kids.

But in formal occasions, when she wasn’t smiling, she was the Old Madam of the Habsden family, possessing all the aura that entailed.

Her eyes were already surrounded by wrinkles, having developed a sharpness through years of erosion that young people could not possess.

She didn’t say a word, first looked Li Beijue up and down thoroughly, her gaze seemingly penetrating his soul, before she started speaking, "What I’ve regretted most in my lifetime is Enen’s mother; now that I’ve finally found her, I want nothing more than to give her the best. However, given my age and my heart condition, I can’t even guarantee how long I can protect her myself. I’ve heard from Enen about your situation. Actually, before you, I arranged an engagement for Enen when she was a child. You know that person too, Xi Zelie. I really like him, plus my relationship with his older sister makes me feel more at ease handing Enen over to him than to you..."

Chi Enen and Xi Zelie had an arranged engagement as children?!

He never knew about this!

Li Beijue’s face turned ashen instantly; if not for his strong control, he almost lost it and stood up.

Chi Enen and Xi Zelie had an arranged engagement as children; if she hadn’t met him, Chi Enen might have ended up with Xi Zelie once found by Quan Dongting.

And coincidentally, the person Xi Zelie has always liked is Chi Enen!

Did Xi Zelie know about their childhood engagement?

He quietly clenched his fist, veins popping up on the back of his hand.

So what if Chi Enen and Xi Zelie had an arranged engagement as children?

Chi Enen is now the one who likes him, the one she plans to marry, and he absolutely won’t give up that woman, no matter what is said, it won’t change a thing!

His face kept changing, relying on his self-control to remain seated properly.

He didn’t want to listen anymore; the anxiety from not sleeping a wink last night seemed to become a reality at this moment.

Old Lady Habsden really harbored intentions of separating him from Chi Enen.

A hint of haze flashed across Li Beijue’s eyes.

He was pondering whether to straightforwardly tell her, no matter what is said, he won’t let go.

Or considering her heart condition and that she’s Chi Enen’s grandma, tell her more gently that he won’t let go.
