Chapter 444: Chapter 444: Old Master Li’s Condition
Four hours later, while it was still deep into the quiet night back home with everyone immersed in their dreams, an airplane landed at the private airport of Country W.
Not long after, a luxury car headed towards the Lesotho Assembly Hall.
At the high-profile banquet in Country W, a man as regal and beautiful as an emperor stepped off the limousine with a shadow of annoyance on his handsome face, while countless camera flashes targeted him.
“Young Master Li, look over here!”
“Young Master Li, could you please look this way?”
“Here, here. Look over here.”
The flash bulbs lit up the area, almost dimming the starlight on the entire red carpet. The moment this man appeared, he became the moon in the sky, brilliant like the stars, with everything else merely a backdrop!
Li Beijue was suppressing his impatience, waiting for the woman inside the car to come out.
A long and graceful leg extended out, followed by a beauty who could rival a supermodel stepping down from the same car. She wore a proper smile on her lips, waving handsomely to the crowding media, while her other hand naturally looped through Li Beijue’s arm—
In an instant, media flash bulbs around the world began frantically flashing!
Some recognized the woman and shouted, “Miss Charlotte, look over here!”
“Miss Charlotte, over here, look this way.”
Others yelled from within the crowd, “Miss Charlotte, by making a public appearance with Young Master Li this time, are you announcing a romance?”
“Young Master Li, is this move to announce a romance?”
Hearing about a romance, Li Beijue’s face grew even more impatient. He strode forward with his long legs, completely ignoring the woman who was still holding onto his arm and smiling while greeting the media reporters.
His departure was abrupt, but fortunately, Kim Zhiyuan reacted quickly, avoiding any blunders under the flash bulbs and catching up to his pace as the flashes escorted her into the venue.
Upon reaching the venue, Kim Zhiyuan immediately let go of his arm and with a stern face, she reproached unhappily, “Why did you suddenly walk away on the red carpet just now? Do you know I almost didn’t keep up?”
“That’s your problem,” Li Beijue replied with extreme indifference, not bothering to look at her directly.
The reason he was here was that he had agreed to Old Master Li’s conditions, not to waste time with this woman during his leisure time.
Kim Zhiyuan had never seen a man so unreasonable. She pointed at him angrily, “You! Is it necessary? I’m not throwing myself at you. We agreed to cooperate with each other, for a good union and a pleasant parting. What do you mean by embarrassing me in public? Do you think I will cling to you?”
Li Beijue finally gave her a direct look, his deep falcon-like eyes ominously suffocating, but devoid of any emotion except for a chilling aloofness. His rosy thin lips suitable for kissing pressed together briefly, piercingly cold, “If you won’t cling, that’s for the best.”
Kim Zhiyuan was first stunned, then quickly understood what he meant. Annoyed, she ‘hah’ once, yet the arrogant man didn’t care about her at all and entered the hall.
Kim Zhiyuan was exasperated, but as a third-generation member of a wealthy family, she was very clear on what comportment to display in any given situation. No matter how angry, she still forced a smile and followed right behind Li Beijue, just like a gentle and amiable girlfriend, maintaining just a single step’s distance.
This time, the state banquet held in Country W was attended by top-tier elites, rendering the whole event utterly exhausting.
By the time the banquet ended, it was already ten in the evening. He shook off the paparazzi that followed him and got back into the car, leaned against the back of the chair, and rubbed his temples wearily, asking, “Where is she?”
The driver, having been with him for several years, naturally knew who he was asking about and immediately said, “It’s only 6 o’clock in the morning back home, Miss Chi is still asleep.”
