Chapter 1269: Chapter 1269: Forceful Yet… Lonely
“…” Where did she say she didn’t want to go? She was just surprised the Old Master was willing to let them leave.
But she knows her Baby Chi’s temper, quite like that of a certain person, when angry, definitely a bomb.
She quickly held back the little volcano about to erupt and softly said, “I was just asking.”
Before Baby Chi could jump up, she wisely held one hand with her left hand and another with her right, quickly speaking, “Let’s go, we’re going home.”
Chi Jingchen’s handsome face, which was starting to show signs of adolescent charm, shifted expression and finally glared at Chi Enen before letting her hold his hand without saying a word.
The Old Butler watched their interaction with Chi Enen, a smile forming at the corner of his mouth, as he led the one big and two small figures outside.
He kept watching until the three of them got into the car, arranged for the driver to drive, and only after the car drove away did he slowly withdraw his gaze and turn back inside.
The Old Master Li, who said he would take a nap, did not return to his room but stayed in the reception room.
Seeing him come in, he washed a teacup without looking up, “Did they leave?”
“Yes.” The Old Butler replied respectfully.
“Jingchen and Nuonuo went with them?”
“Yes.”
The Old Master Li seemed to know in advance that Baby Chi would leave with Chi Enen, put down the tea set that had been cleaned, and gently wiped it with a velvet handkerchief, as he said, “Later, call Nantian and tell him I’m hosting a family dinner in the evening. Let Qiyun bring the person she’s considering for marriage.”
Li Nantian had told him that Li Qiyun had met that person several times, had meals together, and even watched a movie. It seemed like they were getting along well. Li Qiyun even mentioned that the person seemed suitable in various aspects, and with further interaction, she might consider a relationship.
But he didn’t think so.
If Qiyun really got along well with that man, why did Beijue get called back to the country as soon as he returned?
And also…
The Old Master Li squinted his eyes, placed the clean teacup back onto the upscale red sandalwood tea set, and suddenly said, “Qiyun should get married…”
Even though he only agreed to reconsider Chi Enen and not entirely accept her, since he agreed to consider, during this process, except for Chi Enen, he wouldn’t consider anyone else!
If Qiyun is smart, she should turn back soon.
If not smart…
The Old Master Li suddenly felt a headache.
His complexion, already not looking well, turned weary again owing to the nerve strain from the throbbing temple pain, which the warm milk had somewhat alleviated.
The Old Butler seemed to have guessed something but found his own thoughts too absurd, quickly brushing them aside. He swiftly helped the Old Master Li up from the sofa, worriedly saying, “Master Jue, you’ve been restless these past few days because of the young master’s situation. Now Miss Chi is already aware of the young master’s condition, so please, go upstairs and rest. Let Miss Chi and the experts handle the rest. First, take care of your health, and don’t worry about anything else for the time being.”
The Old Master Li really was uncomfortable, and with only him and the Old Butler there, he didn’t pretend any longer. He rubbed his temple and compromised, “I will sleep for a while. If Beijue returns, let me know.”
“Okay. Rest assured, Master Jue, as soon as the young master returns, I will wake you immediately.”
The Old Master Li responded with a sound and went upstairs with the Old Butler’s assistance, his back looking forceful yet…isolated!
