Old Master Li instructed the old butler to see the two of them off.
The vast reception room was left with only the servant and Li Qiyun.
Li Qiyun walked over at the right moment, respectfully calling out, âGrandfather.â
âHmm.â Old Master Li poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of her, âSit.â
Li Qiyun obediently sat on the sofa, waiting for his words.
Old Master Li wasnât in a hurry. He leisurely picked up the teacup, took a sip of Bigelow Chun, and then casually started, âI heard from your father that youâve been going on blind dates recently. Have you met him yet?â
Li Qiyun was already prepared and nodded, âIâve met him.â
âWhat do you think?â His sharp eyes fell on her face, as if trying to see through her.
Li Qiyun quietly clenched the hand resting under her body, maintaining her composure, âHeâs alright. I just had one meal with him, so I donât know him very well yet. Iâve already scheduled a meeting with him tomorrow to go horseback riding together for further contact.â
Old Master Li gave her a deep look, withdrawing his penetrating gaze, âSince you think heâs alright, then keep observing. If thereâs no issue, consider marriage.â
Marriageâ¦
Li Qiyun subconsciously pressed her lips together, hoarsely agreeing, âOkay.â
Right at this moment, the old butler returned.
First, he greeted Li Qiyun, âHello, young lady.â
Then he quickly walked over to Old Master Li, leaned in, and whispered, âOld Master Jue, the young master has returned.â
Old Master Li subconsciously frowned, glanced at Li Qiyun across from him, gave a nod to signify he understood, then stood up and said to Li Qiyun, âIâm tired, you should head back for today. We can talk about anything tomorrow.â
âI donât have anything urgent, I just wanted to give Grandfather the financial reports from the companies under my name and discuss a subsidiaryâs restructuring plan. Since Grandfather is not feeling well, you should rest for now. Iâll come back tomorrow.â
âLeave the reports here and see me tomorrow.â
âOkay.â
Li Qiyun placed the financial reports she brought on the table and got up to leave.
Unexpectedly, Li Beijue was faster than anyone else. She had just reached the doorway and bumped into the man who was striding back in.
Although they hadnât seen each other for just a month, Li Qiyun felt an inexplicable sense of unfamiliarity towards the man approaching. She bit her lower lip, intending to say hello.
But Li Beijue acted as if he didnât see her, brushed past her in the blink of an eyeâ¦
Li Qiyun felt a gust of wind by her side, and in an instant, he was gone. She raised her half-finished gesture of greeting, clenched it into a fist mid-air, discreetly lowered it, bit her lower lip, forcing herself not to turn back, pretending she hadnât wanted to greet him, and walked awayâ¦
This scene fell right into Old Master Liâs eyes, and he wearily rubbed the bridge of his nose, closing his eyes.
The old butler, being the only one besides Old Master Li and Li Nantian who knew about Li Qiyunâs lineage, naturally understood why Old Master Li had been troubled recently. He silently sighed over the ill-fated relationship and stood by with a neutral posture.
Fortunately, it was only the young lady who had thoughts about this; the young master didnât share the same sentiments.
Otherwise, Old Master Jue would truly have a headache.
Thatâs why Old Master Jue protected Miss Chi and drove away Her Highness Scarlettâhaving the young lady as a comparison factor must have been a part of it.
After all, the young master being with Miss Chi is better than being with the young lady.
