Chapter 1168: Chapter 1168: Master Jue, Time’s Up

On the first try, Li Beijue didn’t reach it. He furrowed his brows hard, as if they were about to tie in a knot.

Still determined, he jumped again a second time, a third time, a fourth time… Chi Enen watched the man, usually so high above, jump like an ordinary man, childishly trying to get her the little thing hanging on the treetop.

He was already very noticeable in appearance, and his constant jumping to grab the treetop drew quite a bit of attention, with several people simply standing by and watching to see what he was doing.

The man being watched didn’t care in the slightest about the eyes around him, seemingly having only the thing hanging on the treetop in his eyes.

Chi Enen didn’t forget he had a wound on his back, so she quickly called out to stop him, “Li Beijue, I don’t want to look anymore. I don’t want it, let’s go.”

Damn it!

She clearly wanted it!

Li Beijue’s thin lips pressed into a straight line, and the wound on his back throbbed with pain from the strain. Yet he acted as if he felt no pain, his gaze firmly locked on the thing swinging from where he had touched it on the treetop. He took a step back, made two running jumps, and grabbed the object hanging from the treetop.

He gripped it tightly and yanked the firmly hanging object down!

Chi Enen was stunned for a moment, not expecting he would actually get it down.

The arrogant man, with a fine layer of sweat on his forehead, confidently approached her. He grabbed her hand and placed a small metal object in her palm, “Take it!”

His nonchalant tone made it seem like he wasn’t the one who just exerted all his effort to get the object for Chi Enen!

Chi Enen felt the cool metallic touch in her palm, and when she looked down, she realized the thing she had been curious about was just a metal Teddy Bear Keychain. Such a keychain would at most sell for five yuan outside, yet Li Beijue had spent more than ten minutes getting it down!

Chi Enen clutched the keychain tightly, its ridged edges digging into her palm, bringing with it an indescribable feeling.

That feeling was overwhelming, so overwhelming that it was about to spill over.

“Li Beijue, I…” she just said one word.

A man dressed as a driver quickly ran over, wiped the sweat off his forehead after finding Li Beijue, and quickly said, “Master Jue, the time is up, it’s time to go back.”

“So soon?”

“Yes, it’s already been an hour.” It was because the one-hour limit had passed and he hadn’t seen them return that he hurriedly came to find them.

Fortunately, Master Jue didn’t go too far with Miss Chi.

Li Beijue frowned, looking displeased as he glanced at the innocent driver, then shifted his gaze back to Chi Enen, “I have to go, the old man’s people are still waiting for me to finish the meeting.”

“You just got here, and you’re leaving so soon?” He only had a meal.

So he came all the way just to have a meal with her?

Li Beijue didn’t want to leave more than anyone, but for her sake, he had to force himself to go! His falcon-like eyes darkened, suppressing the urge to take her with him, “You have a deal with the old man, don’t you? If you don’t want to lose, I have to leave.”

If she didn’t want to bet anymore, even better, he wouldn’t have to restrain himself.

Chi Enen clearly didn’t grasp the implication in his words, pursing the corner of her mouth, and spoke with clear, bright eyes, “Then be careful on your way.”

Be careful on your way!

Shit!

Where is this woman’s EQ! At this moment, shouldn’t a typical woman throw herself at him, unwilling to let go, give him a warm kiss, and coyly plead with him not to leave?

But no, the moment he mentioned the old man, she actually just told him to have a safe trip!
