Chapter 706: Chapter 706: President Li, Nice to Meet You Chapter 706: Chapter 706: President Li, Nice to Meet You She subconsciously looked towards the people in the viewing platform area and instantly spotted the most conspicuous man among them. When she saw his unpleasing complexion, her breath hitched.
She inhaled deeply, mounted her horse, and headed in that direction…
Li Beijue’s gaze remained firmly fixed on the little lady approaching. Watching her come closer and closer, his heart felt like it was suddenly gripped by a large hand, and his breathing stalled!
He forcefully suppressed the urge to rush forward.
And he just stood there.
The scenes from that night one and a half years ago kept playing in his mind on a loop. Over this year, on every sleepless night, he would recall what happened that evening.
Each time, he rued and furiously berated himself for being too careless, for not deducing her intentions from her over-enthusiastic demeanor, and for foolishly giving her the chance to run away.
His eyes moved from the little lady’s face to her long, straight legs, and he had already simulated in his mind the possibility of breaking her leg.
Quickly, the heroic and vigorous woman riding the horse had come within close distance. She dismounted neatly, composedly handed over her gloves to a waiter beside her, and strode into the viewing platform area.
The riding suit, designed for ease of movement, was usually tight-fitting and perfectly outlined the little lady’s proportionate figure. Although she was not very tall, her waist-to-leg ratio was very good. With the riding suit on, her waist seemed slim and her legs long, giving her a healthy and comfortable appearance.
Li Beijue’s thin lips formed a straight line, and he was curious to see how this woman dared to run away and now dared to appear before him, intending to quell his rage.
The woman, beautiful with a hint of heroic spirit, three parts calmness, and six parts confidence, finally stopped in front of him. She looked deeply into his eyes and naturally extended her hand, lifting a smile, “President Li. I’m Ryan’s representative, Ms. Chi. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
—President Li, I’m Ryan’s representative, Ms. Chi. It’s a pleasure to meet you.
Ryan’s representative, Ms. Chi?
This damn woman still dares to challenge his limits?
Li Beijue’s thin lips, which had formed a straight line, tightened instantly, and a storm brewed in his falcon-like eyes, black as obsidian. He seemed to be furious to the extreme, and as his fierce gaze flickered with rage, it became as unfathomable as a deep well. He stared unblinkingly at the confidently smiling person before him, did not extend his hand, and with a touch of his lips, conveyed a chilling anger, “You’re pleased to meet me?”
Everyone present could hear the gritting of his teeth in his voice!
Under the immense oppressive atmosphere, the person nearest to him still maintained an uptilted corner of the mouth, her bright eyes clear, “Yes, President Li, I’m pleased to meet you.”
—Yes, President Li, I’m pleased to meet you.
—President Li, I’m pleased to meet you.
She actually dared to keep up her act with him!
Li Beijue’s handsome face turned ashen, his teeth clenched with a crack, and a hint of bloodthirsty ferocity passed through his eyes. His gaze slid down, landing on the fair small hand extended in front of him.
That hand had many small calluses, and upon a closer look, one could still see the scars from injuries on the back of her hand. Although those scars had faded, he recognized them at a glance!
Hadn’t she returned to the Habsden family?
How did she get those scars?
And all those calluses, how did they come about?
