Chapter 108: Li Beijue

In Jiang Baobao's mind, a certain nerve was always pulled tight; she never dared to relax for a single moment.

She stood in place for a long time before intending to return to her room.

But just as she turned, her footsteps came to an abrupt halt!

Jiang Baobao widened her eyes, a gasp nearly spilling from her lips as she looked at the familiar silhouette in the darkness.

"Li Beijue, do you not make a sound when you walk? Is scaring people in the middle of the night fun?"

She recognized at a glance who was standing behind her, her tone somewhat displeased, and a flash of panic crossed her heart.

When did Li Beijue arrive?

When she was on the phone just now... did he hear it all?

Jiang Baobao was somewhat indecisive, then she saw the other person move.

Li Beijue took a step forward, his face hidden in the darkness finally becoming clear under the moonlight.

That stern face, paired with eyes as deep as Heiyao stone, had always been able to attract longing gazes from women wherever he went.

Jiang Baobao looked at the man before her and suddenly felt a trace of danger for no reason.

Immediately after, she heard Li Beijue speak in a cold tone: "Jiang Baobao, you had best do as I said at the cafe today as soon as possible."

Jiang Baobao was stunned upon hearing this, a trace of surprise flashing across her expression.

Was this all he wanted to say to her?

She came back to her senses, a trace of disdain immediately appearing on her face.

"What? President Li, you don't dare say these things in front of Yanbao and Mobai, so you specifically waited until this time to come and warn me in private?"

The moment her last word fell, Li Beijue's expression changed instantly.

He looked at Jiang Baobao with a cold expression, his eyes full of disdain and disgust.

"Jiang Baobao, do you think you can stay at Li Mansion?"

Li Beijue pressed forward a step, saying in a low, aggressive voice: "You being able to come today is only because I wanted to satisfy Yanbao and Mobai! Otherwise, a woman like you, who only knows how to use children as a shield, is not worthy of stepping foot in here at all!"

"Li Beijue, say that again!!!"

Jiang Baobao had been berated by him the moment he arrived, and she instantly flared up with anger as well.

Who was using the children as a shield?

He was the one who was a control freak that never respected the children's wishes!

Jiang Baobao stepped forward abruptly, meeting Li Beijue's eyes directly.

The corners of her lips also curled into a disdainful arc coldly: "I lost interest in you long ago, and I don't want to come back! If you have a narcissistic disorder, you should go see a Doctor as soon as possible!"

"What did you say?" Li Beijue gritted his teeth fiercely, staring viciously at Jiang Baobao.

Jiang Baobao was completely unafraid and continued: "Do you think I care about coming back? If it weren't for Yanbao and Mobai! I wouldn't deign to come to a place like this! And I don't want to see you even more!"

"Then take that girl and get out of Li Mansion!!!"

Li Beijue raised his hand abruptly, his eyes filled with rolling anger that he forcibly suppressed.

Jiang Baobao laughed out of extreme anger, gritting her teeth as she continued: "Rest assured! I don't want to stay even one second longer in any place where you are! I can't wait to leave! But as for Mobai's custody, don't even think about it for the rest of your life! I will even take Yanbao away with me!"

"You're dreaming!!!"

Li Beijue was not lightly provoked by her words; the veins on the back of his hand bulged suddenly, and he raised his hand to grab Jiang Baobao's chin fiercely!

His grip was extremely strong, as if he wanted to crush her chin directly.

Jiang Baobao's cheeks flushed red instantly, and she struggled hurriedly.

"Ah... it hurts! Li Beijue... you... let go... it hurts to death..."

Jiang Baobao cried out, her brows tightly furrowed in pain.

This damn man...

What kind of broken habit is this?

Grabbing people by the chin at every turn!

If her chin had been done at a plastic surgery Hospital, it would probably have been crushed out of shape long ago.

Li Beijue's expression was stern, looking viciously at Jiang Baobao with no expression on his face, his hand exerting even more force.

Daring to speak to him like this, was she truly not afraid of death?

His gaze was like an Asura that had crawled up from hell, stained with a trace of bloodthirst.

"Hiss, it hurts... Li Beijue..."

Jiang Baobao struggled, but the man's strength was too great; she could not break free no matter what, and could only look pained, digging her nails into the man's fingers with all her might, leaving trails of bloodstains on his fingers.

Yet there was still no way to make the other party loosen his grip even a fraction.

This bastard, he was squeezing her too hard!!!

Jiang Baobao gritted her teeth, her face turning pale from the pain: "Li Beijue, as long as I am alive... I will absolutely... not give up... the children's custody..."

As soon as the words fell—

He suddenly let go.

Jiang Baobao's whole body went limp, and she fell directly to the ground.

"Hoo... hoo..."

She let out a sigh of relief, then hurriedly rubbed her chin.

She really felt that her chin had almost been crushed by this dog of a man.

Li Beijue stood high above Jiang Baobao, looking at her with an indifferent face: "Jiang Baobao, I want to see what you can use to fight me besides this life of yours?"

Jiang Baobao was startled, and as she looked up, she met those eyes that were extremely indifferent.

They were so cold they lacked a trace of warmth.

It was as if if she dared to say one more word, he would truly take her life.

She sneered in her heart, forced her body to stand up, and stared wide-eyed at the man before her.

But what was even more painful was her heart.

"Li Beijue, I know that for so many years, you have never loved me, but... do you... even have a heart at all?"

Jiang Baobao's voice trembled; with every word she spoke, a dense, prickling pain spread through her heart.

Sixteen years.

Now that things had come to this, she suddenly felt as if she had never truly known the person before her.

It turned out that Li Beijue was so terrifying.

Terrifying to the point of being a stranger.

Back then, she had almost lost her own life just to save him.

Later, after she had finally managed to marry him, he wouldn't even deign to look at her properly.

Now, she only wanted her children...

Yet he, on the other hand, wished he could take her life!!!

Qi and blood surged in Jiang Baobao's chest, and she gritted her teeth in hatred; her teeth suddenly grazed the tip of her tongue, and a metallic taste instantly filled her mouth.

Li Beijue's gaze flickered for an instant, and that familiar look of mockery appeared on his face again as he said indifferently, "Whether I have a heart or not has nothing to do with you."

Jiang Baobao sneered.

Yes.

His affairs had never had anything to do with her.

Jiang Baobao took a step back, her eyes filled with surging anger that she could no longer suppress.

Under the moonlight, the bright red finger marks on her chin were exceptionally glaring.

Li Beijue's gaze swept over that patch of red marks indifferently, without a ripple in the depths of his eyes.

Immediately after, he heard the woman's trembling, hoarse voice ring out by his ear.

"Li Beijue, I really want to know... who have you ever actually loved?"

Jiang Baobao's eye sockets were slightly red as she asked to herself, not expecting to receive any answer.

Sixteen years; it was time for her to see things clearly.

Then, without waiting for Li Beijue to speak, she continued, "A person like you is destined to only love yourself, right? Because... you don't understand what love is at all! And you don't deserve to receive anyone else's love! You deserve to be lonely and grow old by yourself for the rest of your life!!!"
