Chapter 1175: Chapter 1175: Collected All the Thousand Paper Cranes She Sent

How could Scarlett ever imagine that Li Beijue simply disliked her purely because he disliked her. Any woman other than Chi Enen, he found annoying and hence disliked. And now, in his mind, Scarlett was especially annoying!

She thought for a long time but couldn’t figure out what had offended Li Beijue. Frustrated, she picked up the water cup and took a sip. She had been fine just a moment ago, but now her face changed again as she snapped at the female officer using ice to soothe her face, “What are you doing? Don’t you know to come over and pour me a glass of water? Where are your manners!”

The female officer didn’t know what upset her again. She couldn’t care less about soothing her face and hurriedly put down the ice bag to help pour water as instructed.

Scarlett drank the warm water, and suddenly her eyes lit up. She said to the trembling female officer, “Tomorrow morning, keep an eye on Brother Beijue for me. Notify me as soon as he goes out.”

What does Your Highness want to do again?

The female officer was already afraid of her.

Every time she suffered a setback with Young Master Li, she would take it out on herself. Now, just hearing her mention Young Master Li’s name gave her a feeling of trepidation.

But she did not dare to disobey Scarlett’s orders, “Yes.”

Scarlett had already thought of a way to capture Li Beijue’s attention, and her mood suddenly brightened. She stopped drinking water and quickly headed towards the bedroom.

Before that, she still had to make some arrangements,

…

Li Beijue did not know that someone was already targeting him. He returned home, and Baby Chi was video calling with Chi Enen.

Seeing him come back, seemingly afraid the mobile phone would be snatched away, gave him a glance and jumped off the sofa, padding towards her room in a grown-up’s slippers.

“Bro-brother~” The little girl was like a little shadow, happily following behind the young boy.

Click.

The room door closed.

Huo Yi saw this scene in the living room, and couldn’t help but smile as he saluted to Li Beijue, “Master Jue, you’re back? Would you like to have dinner? I’ll arrange it.”

“No need.” He had already dined with Chi Enen, “I’m going to take a bath. Keep an eye on them.”

“Alright.” Huo Yi placed his hands in front of him and watched as the arrogant man entered the bedroom. In a short while, the sound of rushing water came from inside the room.

He poured a cup of lemonade and placed it on the study room’s office desk, then retreated and stood outside Baby Chi’s room, waiting for Baby Chi to finish the call with Chi Enen and come out.

Li Beijue took a quick bath, casually towel-dried his hair a couple of times, threw the towel to the side, and with his long legs strode towards the study room.

In the study room, he opened the laptop and took a sip from the lemonade on the desk.

Just about to put it down, he suddenly remembered that woman’s words beside his ear, not said just once. He furrowed his eyebrows, impatiently opened the drawer, and took out the anti-inflammatory medication prescribed by the doctor, tilted his head back and swallowed it.

As the medication went down his throat, there was an indescribable bitterness.

He frowned slightly, his peripheral vision catching sight of something solemnly stored in the drawer. He opened the door of the safe with a beep, and it opened with a high-tech, expensive air.

One would expect something valuable like contracts or confidential files to be inside such a secretive safe. Unexpectedly, the large safe contained only one item—a thousand paper cranes!

Because they had been soaked and dried, these thousand paper cranes looked wrinkled and crumpled. Anyone unaware might think they are primary school students’ craft picked up from somewhere.
