Li Beijue didn’t mind being seen through. In his worldview, a friend’s wife should not be wronged. Not remembering Kim Zhixuan’s name was normal; it would be unusual for him to pay attention to her all the time. He furrowed his eyebrows and asked, "Kim Zhixuan, isn’t she in Rainy City?"

If she were, Lei Ting would usually be with her.

Huo Leiting leaned back in his chair, relaxed his eyebrows, and appeared much more at ease. He tugged at his shirt tie and replied, "Yes, she went to Country Y for an art exhibition. Her favorite painting master happens to be holding an exhibition there, and she went two days early."

"A man?"

"Hmm?"

"I mean, is that painting master a man?"

Chi Enen really wanted to cover his mouth.

Asking such a question implies that if the master were a man, his girlfriend shouldn’t be allowed to see him, right?

Huo Leiting was quite casual, "Yes, he’s a man, but reportedly he’s already in his fifties. So it’s okay; if she likes it, let her go."

A man in his fifties?

Li Beijue replaced Kim Zhixuan with Chi Enen in his mind, imagining Chi Enen liking a man in his fifties, and he still felt uncomfortable.

Even if she only liked the man’s paintings and not the man himself, he still felt a sense of oppression.

He furrowed his eyebrows, seemingly trying to control the discomfort that surged in his heart. But it was useless; the more he thought about it, the more agitated he became.

At this time, Chi Enen changed the subject, "What type of painting master does Miss Kim like?"

"Oil painting, but I don’t know much about it; I’m not interested in this field," Huo Leiting said frankly, with no attempt to conceal his disinterest. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

He and Kim Zhixuan indeed had no common interests.

Kim Zhixuan liked painting, and he liked politics.

Kim Zhixuan liked music, and he liked horseback riding and archery.

So, with Kim Zhixuan’s words, they were like a diamond with an artistically striking flower forcibly inserted into it. One was hard, and the other was soft. One was unyielding, and the other fragile and beautiful. One was unremarkable, and the other colorful. No matter how they looked at it, they didn’t match.

But no matter how she said it, he didn’t care about that. He only knew that he liked her as a person.

As for whether they matched or not, neither of them were that diamond or that artistically striking flower, so they had no right to judge whether such two different types were compatible together.

Chi Enen blinked her bright eyes, developing a new understanding of him.

Just then, the waiter came in with the dishes in succession.

As she smelled the fragrance of the food, her stomach suddenly growled twice. Without being pretentious, she picked up her chopsticks and started eating.

The Chinese restaurant recommended by Huo Leiting indeed had good flavor. Compared to this restaurant’s dishes, the few dishes she made for Baby Chi before were like pig feed. It was hard to imagine how her Baby Chi grew up so smart and cute eating her terrible food.

Speaking of Baby Chi...

Chi Enen’s appetite suddenly faded away.

She wanted to ask the person next to her, but with Huo Leiting also present, it wasn’t the right time to speak.

While she was feeling restless, Huo Leiting went out midway to take a phone call, and when he returned, he gave her an apologetic look and said, "Sorry, Beijue, Miss Chi, I have something to take care of and might have to leave early. You two go ahead and eat; I’ll treat Miss Chi to a meal next time."

"Go ahead." Li Beijue let him go promptly.
