Madam Li s Identity Is Exposed Again!

Chapter 362: Chapter 362: Finally Made Things Clear with Han Qifeng

Chi Enen knew that her words would hurt Han Qifeng and understood that it was unfair to say them to Han Qifeng at this time of night. But she couldn’t care about that anymore; she couldn’t be perfect to everyone. If she had to choose, she would choose to protect the people she cared about.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Han.”

“The person who should be apologizing is me.”

She had made her point clear, and aside from bitterness, there wasn’t much else Han Qifeng could say. Besides, nobody else might know, but he was well aware that tonight’s encounter wasn’t entirely coincidental, and Li Beijue hadn’t completely misunderstood. It was he who, on a whim, had offered to cover Professor Li’s class, which led him to run into Chi Enen and walk out of the school with her.

After all, the beating he received wasn’t entirely undeserved.

Even if it were undeserved, he was a man. When men fought, whatever the reason, losing meant losing, and it was ridiculous to have a woman apologize for it.

“Enen, I’m sorry, I questioned your privacy without knowing anything; I hope you won’t take it to heart.”

His earnest apology made Chi Enen feel somewhat embarrassed. She tugged at the corner of her mouth, gesturing with her hand, “No, I know Mr. Han meant no harm. It’s just that tonight, I caused you…”

Han Qifeng chuckled, interrupting her, “Enen, are you sure you want to emphasize and tell me how miserably your boyfriend beat me up tonight? After all, I am a man, please leave me some dignity…”

“…”

His eyes were tender, and with an arm that wasn’t hooked to the intravenous infusion, he propped up his head, laughing as he said, “Actually, this is quite good. I’ve been wanting to take a break, and the hospital administration wouldn’t approve my leave. Now that I’m lying in the sickbed, they can’t ask me to work overtime anymore. I can also take this chance to use up my annual leave and take Xiaoruo out nearby. She’s been wanting to see the sea in Rainy City.”

“…Regardless, I’m still sorry.”

Han Qifeng’s initial affection for Chi Enen was because of her kindness. She always preferred to inconvenience herself rather than upset others, truly empathetic.

Just like that time at the Amusement Park when it was Baby Chi and Xiaoruo who had deceived her together, yet she didn’t leave him by himself. Instead, she put herself in his shoes and spent an afternoon with him, enjoying the Amusement Park.

However, to his surprise, what ultimately made him give up on her was also the very thing that had touched his heart in the beginning.

Because he couldn’t bear to see such a kind-hearted woman in distress because of him.

And he didn’t want to see her unhappy.

In fact, maybe they were better off as friends from the start.

It was just that he accidentally took a wrong turn.

“The idea of self-studying for the Adult University exam is good, I’ll have Xiao Feng send you the past exam questions for adult college entrance examinations tomorrow.” He paused, as if afraid Chi Enen would misunderstand, and quickly added, “Don’t worry, I’ll have Xiao Feng send them. It’s also my way of making amends for causing you and your boyfriend to quarrel.”

“Enen, I hope we can still be friends in the future.” Friends in the ordinary sense.

Chi Enen’s smile was genuine, her clear eyes warm as she looked at Han Qifeng, lying on the bed in such a sorry state for the first time, and said, “Haven’t we always been friends?”

She simply hoped to avoid misunderstandings and that they would limit their interactions in the future, preferably not at all. It wasn’t that she no longer considered Han Qifeng a friend.

But no matter whether they would have contact in the future or not, she always thought of Han Qifeng as a friend.

Chi Enen picked up her bag, “Mr. Han, I should be going now.”

“Alright.”

Han Qifeng nodded, watching her leave the ward, and with her departure, he watched the end of a young man’s fervent affection fade away…
