Everyone knows that Li Beijue has OCD, and those who can avoid physical contact with him usually don’t invite themselves to be rebuffed.
Therefore, even when greeting him, it’s mostly verbal, and rarely does anyone extend their hand in front of him.
Li Beijue glanced at the hand extended in front of him by the man, a flicker of impatience flashed in his deep falcon-like eyes, but he still stretched out his hand expressionlessly and gave a symbolic handshake. However, he didn’t acknowledge the man’s gesture of friendliness.
Li Qiyun gave him a sharp look, secretly stepping on his foot under the table, before smoothing things over with perfect etiquette, "I’m sorry, my little brother has had a difficult personality since childhood, a bit shy with strangers, doesn’t talk much when first eting people, but he’ll warm up once he gets to know you."
"No problem." The man was generous, smiled, withdrew his hand, and introduced the mixed-race maiden beside him, "This is my younger sister, Lan Ke. She just graduated from Habs University and is visiting Country W during her vacation. Today she insisted on coming along, sorry about that."
Although he said this to Li Qiyun, his eyes were on Li Beijue.
The maiden nad Lan Ke was more bold and direct, winking at Li Beijue and then smiling, "Brother, can’t I et my future sister-in-law? Why make it sound like I’m just here for a free al?"
"Alright, alright, of course you can." The man seed helpless, letting her shake his arm and then said, "Alright, sit down quickly. You’re so grown up and still acting coy, what would Qiyun and Beijue think."
Lan Ke’s beautiful bright blue eyes glanced at the man across from her again, her cheeks flushing as she sat down.
Actually, she didn’t insist on coming today. She ca because her brother told her that her future sister-in-law wanted to arrange a eting between her and her cousin.
Even though it was just a eting and having a al together, in upper-class society, such a eting and al arrangent was tantamount to a matchmaking session.
Lan Ke initially didn’t want to co, but now she secretly felt glad she did.
She picked up the water cup, pretending to drink water as she secretly glanced at the man across from her, his handso features, high bridge of the nose, and thin lips...
So there really is a man in this world more handso than her brother!
Her heart started to race with excitent.
She thought her little actions were very subtle, but both Li Qiyun and Oslo noticed them.
Both of them were pleased with this developnt.
If the Li family and the Oslo family could join forces, it would be the best choice for both the families and themselves.
If they could maintain mutual goodwill, that would be all the more perfect!
At this ti.
The waiter ca over with the steak and started serving.
Li Qiyun’s beautiful eyes flashed with light as she gracefully turned to the mixed-race maiden across from her, actively initiating conversation, "Did you study at Habs University, Lan Ke? Beijue seems to have also studied there for a period of ti. By that reasoning, you would be Beijue’s junior sister. Right, Beijue?"
"Really?" Lan Ke opened her eyes wide with surprise, looking at the man across from her.
The man first furrowed his eyebrows, and under the gaze of the three people, he suddenly pulled out his chair and stood up, his handso face tense and expressionless as he said, "I just rembered I have so unfinished business to attend to, I’m afraid I can’t stay for dinner. Please enjoy your al, I’ll take my leave."
After saying that, regardless of everyone’s reaction, he turned and left.
This kind of behavior was the ultimate in giving no face!
Li Qiyun’s face stiffened, and she too stood up, calling out to him from behind, "Beijue!"
Li Beijue heard her call, but his footsteps rely paused before he continued to stride away with his long legs, without looking back—
