Li Qiyun was shocked by his fierce gaze, seemingly unable to believe it.
She had never heard Li Beijue speak to her like this. She knew him since he was a ten-year-old boy. Although he had always been reticent and distant towards everyone, she had always been an exception. As they grew up, he often showed impatience towards her, but she knew that it was just his way of masking his true feelings â not genuine impatience, just a habitual attitude.
But this time was different, she could feel the venom in his heart!
His warning was serious, not like in the past when it was just talk.
âI only want to protect the people I wish to protect. Anyone who harms the ones I want to protect is an enemy to me!â
Li Qiyun trembled, furrowed her eyebrows, and anger flashed across her beautiful eyes, âTo me, you are the person I have to protect!â
âBut she is more important to me than my own life! Li Qiyun, you shouldnât have harmed her!â Li Beijueâs eyes could not hide the disappointment, a bone-deep disappointment, âAt 16 years old, you took a bullet for me and saved my life. Now, Iâm giving that life back to you. Li Qiyun, Iâm telling you once again, there wonât be a next time. No matter your reasons, in my eyes, you will never have another chance!â
There will never be a next time!
Li Qiyunâs Red Lips quivered, wanting to say something, but she couldnât swallow her pride.
Li Beijue didnât give her the chance to speak again. He stood up and kicked the gun on the ground away, then turned and left.
His retreating figure was cold and resolute to the extreme!
For some reason, Li Qiyun suddenly felt that her relationship with Li Beijue could never go back to how it used to be after this.
She couldnât help but blurt out, âBeijue!â
But the person walking ahead just paused briefly, didnât turn his head, and continued on with his Long Legsâ
Li Qiyunâs Beautiful Eyes suddenly narrowed to the size of a needlepoint!
Li Beijue had never treated her this way before. Was Chi Enen really that important? Important enough to forsake even sibling affection?
Moreover, she had already explained her reasons to him. Did he really not understand her painstaking efforts at all?
Li Qiyunâs gaze was still filled with shock and disbelief.
Outside the door, the Bodyguards entered at this time, seeing the gun that had been kicked away on the ground, they bowed their heads, not daring to speak.
It seemed that Master Jue and Miss Qiyun had a big argument.
Even Miss Qiyunâs gun lay dropped on the ground, showing how angry Master Jue was this time.
âDid I really do something wrong?â Li Qiyun suddenly spoke.
The Bodyguard closest to her braced himself to meet her gaze and cautiously said, âYoung lady, you were also doing it for Master Jueâs sake, Master Jue will understand you.â
Indeed, Miss Qiyun was acting for Master Jueâs good, but the means she used were too extreme.
Not just a little extreme, but very extreme, even one might say she had crossed Master Jueâs Bottom Line.
Miss Qiyun is usually a smart and decisive person, why did she go to such an extreme, even more than just extreme, it was too much.
âHe will understand?â Li Qiyun looked into his Eyes, as if scrutinizing him.
The Bodyguard quickly bowed his head, no longer daring to stray in his thoughts, nodded affirmatively, and said, âMaster Jue will surely understand you. You and Master Jue grew up together and share an extraordinary bond. Young lady, donât worry too much. Master Jue is surely just angry for the moment and wonât be truly mad at you.â
Whether Li Qiyun believed it or not was a question, as her Heroic Spirit lip curled slightly.
She didnât think Beijue was just angry for the moment, she knew him well enough to know he was truly upset.
