Madam Li’s Identity Is Exposed Again! - Chapter 265

Chapter 265: Chapter 265: Chi Enen, Are You Guys Having a Good Chat?

Chi Enen awkwardly didn’t know how to respond.

Han Qifeng saw her discomfort, his mouth curling up into a smile as he said, “This is actually the first time I’ve ever confessed to someone of the opposite sex, and I never expected to be rejected on my first try.”

“I’m sorry, I…”

Han Qifeng’s starry eyes smiled gently, “There’s nothing to apologize for. If one had to feel sorry for rejecting someone they don’t like, then I, who was rejected, should feel even more embarrassed.”

“…”

He grabbed a bag from the car and handed it to Chi Enen, “This is a small gift Xiaoru and I prepared for you, I forgot to give it to you when I brought the fruit over.”

“This is…” Chi Enen looked at the pretty gift box inside the bag but didn’t reach out to take it.

Han Qifeng smiled and placed the bag in her arms, speaking calmly, “Don’t worry, it’s just some throat lozenges.”

He didn’t mention that he and Han Xiaoru had specifically found a studio that taught candy-making and had handcrafted those throat lozenges themselves.

When Chi Enen heard it was just some candy inside, she relaxed and sincerely thanked him, “Thank you.”

“No need.”

Han Qifeng started the car again, and they smoothly drove towards the market.

Chi Enen had thought their atmosphere would turn awkward and silent, but to her surprise, Han Qifeng seemed to have forgotten the recent mishap completely, occasionally throwing out a topic, bringing just the right amount of comfort to the conversation that made one relax without realizing it…

They quickly finished buying groceries and drove back to the community.

When they arrived downstairs in the community, Chi Enen got out of the car first, and suddenly Han Qifeng called out to her, “Enen.”

“Hmm?” She turned her head.

Han Qifeng rolled down the car window, removed his gold-rimmed glasses from the bridge of his nose for the first time, revealing a face fair as the moon and graceful as the wind, his thin lips parted slightly as he asked earnestly, “Enen, can we still be friends?”

“…Why do you ask?” Chi Enen didn’t quite grasp his meaning.

Han Qifeng chuckled, his eyelids half-closed, “I just feel that you’re a person with strong principles, and my gut tells me that what I said in the car earlier might affect your attitude towards me. Perhaps from now on, you’ll keep your distance from me.”

“…” Chi Enen realized he had hit the nail on the head with her thoughts. Indeed, she had been considering maintaining as much distance as possible from Han Qifeng to avoid upsetting her household’s “vinegar jar.”

Han Qifeng knew he had guessed right, he looked into Chi Enen’s eyes, “I hope you won’t dwell on what happened earlier, and that we can still be friends in the future. Really.”

Now that he had put it that way, it would be overly sensitive for Chi Enen to continue to feel awkward. After all, it was the 21st century, it was just a confession, and they had cleared it up. He was the one bringing it up again, so if she kept holding onto it, it would be too… pretentious. She came to terms with this and said with ease, “Of course, you are Xiaoruo’s father, we are certainly friends.”

“Mm.” Han Qifeng’s lips curled up, his expression relaxed as he said, “You go on up first, I’m going to park the car.”

“Okay.”

Chi Enen, carrying stuff, went upstairs.

Just as she reached the corner of the staircase, her wrist was suddenly grabbed by someone, and she was yanked over, her back slamming against the corner wall with a thud.

A familiar man’s overpowering hormone scent bore down on her!

“Chi Enen, did you enjoy your chat?”
