Li Beijue irritably stared at the pretentious woman in front of him, utterly clueless about what she wanted!
Was her face made from a shoe horn?
Couldnât she see he had no interest in interacting with her!
For those insensible women who insist on coming closer, he never showed a friendly face. Hands in pockets, he glanced her over from a superior stance, his thin lips moved harshly, âI remember saying last time, I donât have a younger sister.â
Smackâ
Scarlett felt as if sheâd been slapped across the face, her cheeks burning. Especially with so many servants around, she felt even more like sheâd been slapped.
If it were any other man treating her this way once or twice, sheâd have lost her temper long ago. Even if that man tried to ingratiate himself with her later, she wouldnât bother.
But this was Li Beijue, despite her bruised ego, she bit her lower lip and forced a smile, giving herself an out, âFine, if I canât call you Brother Beijue, what should I call you?â
Li Beijue was supremely impatient, âWhatever you like!â
She wasnât anyone important, why should he care what she called him?
With that, he lifted his foot to leave.
Scarlett had rare chance to see him alone, how could she let him leave after only exchanging a few words?
She unobtrusively blocked the arrogant manâs path again, softly saying, âBrother Beijue, youâll be attending the ICO Investment Summit tomorrow, wonât you?â
âIâll be attending too, letâs go together tomorrow.â
Li Beijue finally looked at her.
Scarlett felt the manâs gaze falling on her face, her heartbeat couldnât help speeding up, she desperately wanted to look in the mirror and check whether her appearance was graceful and beautiful. Her fair cheeks flushed a thin layer of pink, bright eyes and white teeth, she looked incredibly lovely.
Li Beijue did look at her, but his gaze and what Scarlett imagined were completely different matters. He was merely checking if her eyes were blind, unable to see his extreme impatience with her persistent chattering! His falcon-like eyes landed on Scarlettâs eyes, and they narrowedâ
The servant following him quietly observed the twoâs interaction, secretly worried for Chi Enen.
Your Highness Scarlett had good family background, was beautiful, and came on strong, normal men wouldnât withstand such temptation. Now that Miss Chi was just out of the house, Your Highness Scarlett chased after him so boldly, they didnât know if Master Jue could resist. If Master Jue couldnât resist, then Miss Chi was in trouble.
Initially, they believed Master Jue could resist, but now that Master Jue kept staring into Her Highness Scarlettâs eyes, they werenât sure anymoreâ¦
Typically, if a man stares into a womanâs eyes, it indicates that he has feelings for her.
Scarlett thought the same, her heart pounding like a drum, her heart almost leaping from her chest. She summoned the courage to face the manâs handsome features, fair forehead, sharp eyes, high bridge of the nose, and those kiss-seeking lipsâ¦
Scarlettâs heart raced faster, her face growing redder.
Just as her heart thundered, the man whoâd been staring at her suddenly spoke, âSince you can jog, your kneeâs healed. How long do you plan to stay here?â
How long do you plan to stay here?
Stay here!
Smack!
Scarlett felt as if sheâd been severely slapped, her pink cheeks instantly flushed red!
