Chapter 1267: Chapter 1267: Old Master Li’s Duplicity
The Old Master actually didn’t let her leave Li Beijue voluntarily, does that mean…
“Don’t think too much. Our agreement is that after handling Scarlett’s matter, I will seriously consider your relationship with Beijue. I am still seriously considering it, not that I have already accepted you.” Old Master Li seemed to see what she was thinking, turned his eyes away to reduce the pressure, casually picked up the warm milk, took a sip, and suddenly realized he was drinking the one Chi Enen had someone make for him. The warm milk brought a flow of heat into his slightly chilly stomach, making him much more comfortable. His strong features softened substantially. Putting down the cup, he said, “I will continue to let experts in this field study to see if there is a possibility for medication treatment. On the other hand, I will arrange opportunities for you to interact with Beijue.”
“I…” Chi Enen’s feelings were in turmoil, and she didn’t know what way she could help Li Beijue break the hypnosis.
Old Master Li saw from her expression that she was temporarily unable to adapt to this situation. When he first learned about it, he was also stunned for quite a while. He glanced at the milk cup on the table and suddenly said, “You probably haven’t had lunch, join me for a meal.”
Saying this, he stood up and walked towards the restaurant.
No matter how confused Chi Enen’s mind was, she had no choice but to stand up and follow his steps.
The restaurant and the castle shared the same style, both in European palace style.
The rectangular dining table could accommodate more than a dozen people at once, yet Chi Enen and he sat at opposite ends. In the middle, a beautifully designed tablecloth was spread, with vases, candles, and other items placed on it, giving off a sense of elegance and luxury.
The old butler poured her a glass of lemonade.
Soon, the big chef came to serve the dishes.
The steak, with a color that made it look appetizing, was placed on a beautiful plate. Even if Chi Enen didn’t have much appetite, she felt like picking up the knife and fork.
Besides the steak, the big chef also prepared borscht, vegetable salad, and other purely Western food side dishes.
Chi Enen picked up the knife and fork, reluctantly took a couple of bites. As she was hesitating whether to put them down and say she was full, the big chef came in again, walked straight towards her, and placed the colored glaze bowl from the tray in front of her, “Miss Chi, please enjoy.”
Chi Enen looked in surprise at the vegetable porridge before her, which did not match the exquisite Western food on the table at all. Reflexively, she raised her head, looking at the person opposite her.
Old Master Li’s dining pose was impeccable, with an elegance and nobility refined over the years, which no number of age marks on his face could conceal.
He seemed to feel Chi Enen’s gaze, lifted his eyelids, glanced at her, and unexpectedly spoke while dining, “The butler said you like porridge.”
After saying this, whether as an explanation or a casual remark, he continued dining.
Chi Enen paused slightly, looked at the old butler standing behind Old Master Li, who smiled and subtly shook his head before winking at her, then looked towards the dignified dining Old Master Li.
Chi Enen suddenly understood his meaning—the porridge was ordered by the Old Master, not the butler.
A warmth spread through her heart. Taking a deep breath, though she initially had no appetite, seeing the verdant green and white hot porridge, she suddenly felt a bit like eating again.
She picked up the spoon beside her and began eating slowly.
Accompanying the Old Master for the meal, Chi Enen also finished the bowl of porridge in front of her.
