CHAPTER 1177: CHAPTER 1177: WHICH LAW STIPULATES THAT I HAVE TO LIKE YOU

A good night’s dream.

Li Beijue was woken up by the phone. After being startled awake, he realized it was already light outside.

Damn. When did he fall asleep last night?

He sat up from the sofa, unable to recall precisely when he fell asleep last evening. Raising his head, he immediately saw Chi Enen’s study room still displayed on the wall.

The study room was already empty; she must have gone to sleep.

Did she keep the video on all night last night?

He rubbed his swollen temple and picked up his mobile phone, only to find the battery was nearly dead.

On the screen, the phone kept flashing incessantly.

He picked up the phone, "Speak!"

"Master Jue, it’s already the time point for the schedule you instructed earlier, you see..."

Li Beijue glanced at the quartz clock on the wall and noticed it was already nine o’clock in the morning.

This morning he had a Military District Meeting, and he had to be there by 9:30.

"I’ll be there immediately!" He decisively hung up the phone, tossed aside the mobile, went to the walk-in wardrobe to change clothes, then picked up the phone and coat and left.

He didn’t notice that just as he went downstairs, someone saw him, and immediately a phone call was made to the Li Castle guest room.

The person who was long prepared in the guest room set off right away.

As Li Beijue arrived at the castle entrance, the driver promptly greeted him, "Master Jue."

"Open the door."

"Yes."

The driver opened the car door.

He adjusted his suit buttons and was about to sit inside when suddenly a stubborn voice came over, "Brother Beijue!"

This voice was...

Li Beijue frowned so much he could crush a fly!

Scarlett, as if not seeing his unpleasant expression, jogged over to him holding something in hand, appearing to have some business with him.

Before she reached him, suddenly, Scarlett appeared to twist her foot and leaned toward him—

Li Beijue’s instinct was to dodge, but the gentleman education ingrained in his bones reflexively made him reach out and catch the person who nearly fell.

Scarlett’s arm was supported, preventing her from falling. Her corner of the mouth showed a delighted smile as she was about to thank him.

The man holding her seemed to have touched something infectious and immediately released his hand, his face extremely displeased, "Next time you want to fall, fall farther away!"

Scarlett’s smile froze, and she couldn’t speak the thanks she had prepared. Embarrassed, she said, "Brother Beijue, I didn’t do it on purpose. Just now, I accidentally stepped on a stone, so I almost fell..."

"I don’t care how you fall, just keep your distance next time."

That tone was malicious as if telling her to die far away next time.

Scarlett’s pretty face showed hues of red, white, and purple, holding back for a half day before she managed to say in suppressed grievance, "Brother Beijue, what did I do wrong for you to dislike me so much?"

Her appearance was as if enduring the greatest injustice. All the strength she pretended to have was torn apart at this moment, unable to bear it anymore, her apricot-shaped eyes glistened with pretty moisture.

Even the driver couldn’t help but feel a surge of compassion upon seeing her like this, wanting to protect her.

But the person Scarlett wanted protection from showed no reaction at all. A face cold and stern as iron, falcon-like eyes sharply fixed on her, without the slightest emotional fluctuation, apart from impatience, there was only impatience, "Which legal provision says I must like you?"
