Chapter 135: Li Beijue Wants to Make Up

Jiang Baobao returned directly to the Base Villa, intending to handle some unfinished work.

But she didn't expect that as soon as she opened the door, she would hear the sound of the television coming from the living room.

"Xiao Tang? You're home." Jiang Baobao said casually as a greeting.

Upon hearing this, Cai Xiaotang immediately turned around, ran toward Jiang Baobao, and said loudly, "My dear! I'm going to the execution ground tomorrow!"

"Huh? What execution ground?" Jiang Baobao was taken aback by her words, her face a mix of laughter and tears.

Only then did Cai Xiaotang explain: "My brother arranged a blind date for me, and I have to go meet him tomorrow, ying ying ying..."

She complained in a pretentious manner, not mentioning that she had agreed to the meeting in order to introduce a Doctor to Jiang Baobao.

Jiang Baobao didn't think much of it, and couldn't help but laugh as she said, "If you don't want to go, why not just turn it down? Didn't you always shout that being single is great? Why are you compromising so easily now?"

"Sigh..." Cai Xiaotang let out a sigh and didn't continue, instead suddenly changing the subject and asking: "Forget about me, how have you been these past two days? Have you suffered any grievances living at that dog of a man's house? If he bullies you, you must tell me!"

Jiang Baobao was slightly stunned; thinking of what happened today, her expression became somewhat subtle for a moment.

She thought for two seconds before saying: "These past few days have been fine, but Li Beijue was... suddenly very strange today."

"How strange?" Cai Xiaotang instantly perked up and asked with a gossipy look on her face.

Jiang Baobao had no choice but to recount everything that happened today.

As Cai Xiaotang listened, the expression on her face gradually became quite colorful.

"So... he wants to make up with you?" Cai Xiaotang thought for two seconds and reached a conclusion.

Jiang Baobao shook her head rapidly: "How is that possible! He would rather kick me out of Li Mansion immediately!"

Cai Xiaotang suddenly slapped her thigh hard and said loudly: "Then it must be a sudden pang of conscience! He suddenly felt that his actions were just too excessive, so he wants to make it up to you!"

"As for that..." Jiang Baobao shook her head slightly and said: "I don't think that's very likely either. After all, this person... doesn't seem to have much of a conscience..."

Cai Xiaotang: "..."

The two of them fell into a silence.

Cai Xiaotang didn't know what she thought of, but suddenly said with concern: "When things are abnormal, there must be a reason! Could it be that he has prepared some trap, waiting for you to take the bait!"

"Hard to say." Jiang Baobao shook her head helplessly. Suddenly thinking that they still had to go watch a movie together that night, she said unhurriedly: "Anyway, we are going out together tonight, so I'll observe him a bit more. Maybe it's just because he's in a good mood today that he's acting so out of character."

Evening.

Jiang Baobao finished guiding the Team's work online before timing it just right to pick up the children from school.

She then went to the cinema with Li Beijue and the children.

The car door opened, Jiang Baobao got out, and the three little ones jumped out of the car one after another.

The last one to step out was the tall and upright Li Beijue.

"Mommy!"

Tiantian hugged Jiang Baobao, and without waiting for her to reply, said loudly: "I want to eat popcorn! And I want a large size!"

"You little glutton!" Jiang Baobao pinched her little nose with amusement, thought for two seconds, and then agreed: "You can buy a large one, but you can only buy one. You have to eat it with your brothers, otherwise, your teeth will ache if you eat too many sweets."

"Okay!" The little girl agreed readily.

Hearing this, Jiang Baobao nodded with satisfaction and led the three little ones into the cinema.

Li Beijue had already bought the tickets, which were in the very center of the theater, at the most suitable distance.

Tiantian held the popcorn and sat in the very middle, leading the way.

Mobai and Yanbao sat down next to Tiantian.

Then they all looked in unison at Li Beijue and Jiang Baobao, who were walking at the back.

Jiang Baobao paused, looking at the only two remaining adjacent seats, her expression hesitant for two seconds.

Should she sit with Li Beijue?

She had originally thought about having the three children sit in the middle, and having herself and Li Beijue separated on the left and right sides...

Forget it, sitting together won't do anything...

Jiang Baobao pondered for two seconds, but in the end, she didn't say anything more and sat down in the seat.

Li Beijue's gaze flickered for an instant, and he took the opportunity to sit down next to her.

With a "whoosh," the lights in the cinema suddenly dimmed.

Mobai and Yanbao touched hands in the darkness, and a hint of a smile couldn't help but appear on their little faces.

Daddy and Mommy are sitting together!

If Mommy gets scared later, Daddy will definitely protect Mommy!

After a short advertisement, the movie officially began.

Listening to the eerie and terrifying sound effects in her ears, Jiang Baobao subconsciously tensed her body.

She never watched this type of movie; she had only watched one when she was very young and was so scared that she kept the lights on all night, afraid to sleep, so she never watched them again.

But so many years have passed...

She is an adult now!

And the things in the movie are all fake!

There's nothing to be afraid of!

She couldn't lose face in front of the three treasures!

Jiang Baobao looked at the screen, secretly cheering herself on in her heart.

The next second, a patch of scarlet suddenly appeared on the screen!

Jiang Baobao closed her eyes instantly, paused for two seconds, and then slowly opened them.

Immediately, she felt that the person next to her seemed to be watching her.

She turned her head subconsciously, just in time to meet a pair of deep eyes, reflecting the flickering lights from the movie.

Immediately after, she heard the man lower his voice deliberately and ask, "Are you afraid?"

Jiang Baobao shook her head immediately: "Not afraid, what is there to be afraid of?"

She deliberately put on an indifferent look, as if she really hadn't taken the previous scene to heart, but the hand hidden behind her back was clenched tightly.

She must absolutely not let Li Beijue know that she was afraid of this kind of thing!

Otherwise, that infuriating mouth of his would definitely not say anything nice!

Thinking this, Jiang Baobao hurriedly shifted her gaze back to the screen, as if afraid of missing the plot.

Li Beijue did not say anything else either, turning his head to stare intently at the screen.

Jiang Baobao's heartbeat, however, was somewhat out of control.

She kept trying hard to control her gaze, keeping it as much as possible on the subtitles at the bottom of the screen.

But the cinema screen was too large, and the way this movie was scary was through shocking images that appeared anytime and anywhere, along with hair-raising sounds, and Jiang Baobao gradually became unable to sit still.

What kind of crappy movie is this?

Horror movies should at least have a plot, okay!

Why does it always have to be so jumpy!

She was complaining in her heart, and just at this moment—

A shrill howl suddenly came from the speakers!

Jiang Baobao was instantly startled, her whole body shuddering as she suddenly raised her hand and grabbed Li Beijue's arm!

The air was quiet for a moment—

Jiang Baobao came back to her senses and was instantly so embarrassed she wanted to vanish on the spot.

What was wrong with her hand!

Of all the places to grab, why did she have to grab Li Beijue's arm!

Jiang Baobao's eyes were filled with annoyance; she hurriedly and awkwardly let go of her hand, wanting to pretend that nothing had happened.

The next second, she heard Beijue's voice, which seemed somewhat amused, ring out by her ear.

"Didn't you say you weren't afraid?"
