Chapter 179: Almost Succeeded in Kissing Him

Lu Qing'er quickly confirmed that her makeup hadn't smudged, only then remembering that she seemed to have forgotten Li Beijue.

She stopped her movements in some embarrassment, then hurriedly found a pack of clean tissues and asked in a flustered manner, "Beijue, you should wipe yourself off too. You gave me your coat just now, and you're soaking wet all over; it must be uncomfortable..."

As she spoke, Lu Qing'er carefully observed Li Beijue's expression and hurriedly found an excuse for herself, explaining, "I didn't expect it to rain today. I didn't want you to see me looking so disheveled, so I tidied up a bit first. You won't be angry with me, will you?"

After she finished speaking, she pretended to be cute and blinked at Li Beijue, deliberately putting on an innocent expression.

Li Beijue's gaze flickered for a moment, and he reached out to take the tissues, saying indifferently, "I'm fine."

Hearing that his mood seemed normal, Lu Qing'er breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, feeling somewhat smug.

Who said Li Beijue had a bad temper?

He clearly had a very good temper!

Or could it be... that she was special to him, and he couldn't bear to lose his temper with her?

After all, in such heavy rain just now, he had even given her his coat...

The more Lu Qing'er thought about it, the happier she became, but she suddenly felt the car tremble slightly.

"I'll take you home first, then head back to the company for a meeting."

Li Beijue said this while starting the car.

Lu Qing'er obediently responded and didn't say anything else along the way, though her mind was active, and her little glances couldn't stop drifting toward Li Beijue.

If only the two of them could have some real physical contact...

Li Beijue had been very gentlemanly during these few meetings; the most contact the two of them had was merely linking arms...

As Lu Qing'er thought this, her gaze unconsciously fell slowly onto Li Beijue's thin, well-shaped lips; her cheeks suddenly felt a bit hot, and a bold idea suddenly sprouted in her heart.

The shopping mall was not too far from the Jiang Family, and twenty minutes later, Li Beijue parked the car outside the villa.

"Beijue, thank you for bringing me back."

Lu Qing'er said thank you sweetly, then lowered her head to unbuckle her seatbelt.

But after she lowered her head and fiddled for a long time, the seatbelt was still hanging on her, and her hand just kept fumbling with the buckle, as if she had encountered some difficulty.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing that she hadn't unbuckled it after a long time, Li Beijue couldn't help but ask.

This was exactly what Lu Qing'er was waiting for, so she immediately said with difficulty, "This seatbelt seems to be stuck..."

As she spoke, she deliberately shook the seatbelt buckle, making a slight sound.

The next second—

"Click."

Li Beijue casually unbuckled his own seatbelt and leaned over toward Lu Qing'er's seat.

Lu Qing'er was immediately overjoyed.

The man had a pleasant scent, mixed with the smell of rain, which made her feel dizzy and enchanted for a moment.

Then, before she could react, she suddenly felt a lightness in front of her as the seatbelt suddenly retracted automatically from her body.

"It's done." Li Beijue frowned slightly and stood up to sit back in his own seat.

Now is the time!

Lu Qing'er's expression tightened, and she seized the opportunity, hurriedly saying, "Beijue, thank you..."

As she spoke, she lifted her chin and leaned toward Li Beijue's direction!

They were just a hair's breadth away from their lips touching!

"Qing'er." Li Beijue's retreating movement suddenly became faster; before Lu Qing'er could touch him, he had already sat back in his seat and called her name with a hint of severity.

Lu Qing'er didn't succeed, and her expression suddenly became awkward.

How could Li Beijue dodge so quickly!

Was he guarding against her?

Wasn't he pursuing her?

Why did he dodge?

Lu Qing'er was both angry and ashamed, but she didn't dare to act out in front of Li Beijue.

Li Beijue hadn't expected her to be so bold, and his mood was a bit complicated for a moment; he didn't know what to say.

The atmosphere was awkward for a moment.

Li Beijue remained silent, his face devoid of expression, making it impossible for anyone to see what he was thinking.

"Beijue..." Lu Qing'er suddenly called out to Li Beijue in a low voice, sounding somewhat pitiful.

Li Beijue finally snapped back to reality and said in a low voice, "Go back first. I have a meeting later; we'll make time to meet again next time."

His tone was still considered gentle, so Lu Qing'er breathed a sigh of relief and unwillingly turned to get out of the car.

Li Beijue wasn't angry... he must just be shy, right?

It seems he doesn't like proactive women...

Lu Qing'er speculated in her heart, walking into the villa while looking back every few steps.

Li Beijue watched her enter the door, then started the car and drove toward the company, though he was somewhat absent-minded.

Lu Qing'er's proactiveness just now made him feel a subtle sense of discomfort.

He couldn't describe what kind of feeling this was.

It was just that both times he had met her, he had this feeling.

Was it because he wasn't used to it yet?

Or...

Li Beijue's gaze flickered for a moment, and a certain night from a long time ago suddenly came to his mind...

That night, Jiang Baobao had drunk too much and was acting crazy, and in order to keep her from shouting and waking up Yanbao, he had...

An ambiguous scene flashed rapidly through Li Beijue's mind, and his ears suddenly let out a hum!

Why was he thinking about this again?

He had clearly already forgotten about this matter!

Li Beijue took a deep breath, forcing himself to throw the three words "Jiang Baobao" out of his mind.

……

Evening—

Li Beijue drove back to the Li Mansion early.

The rain was quite heavy today; even when Li Beijue parked, the rain outside was the same as it had been at noon, with not the slightest sign of letting up.

Li Beijue reached for the umbrella on the back seat of the car, but just as he was about to get out, his peripheral vision caught a figure stepping out of another car not far away.

It was none other than Jiang Baobao.

Li Beijue was slightly stunned, and those thoughts that had made him feel somewhat agitated earlier came flooding back.

He seemed as if he had been immobilized, sitting still in the car, watching the direction of Jiang Baobao without blinking.

Immediately after, he saw her holding an umbrella, carrying Yanbao down from the car, and escorting him all the way into the villa.

Soon after, the other two little ones were handled the same way.

Yet her own clothes were completely soaked on one side.

Li Beijue was slightly stunned, as the image of Lu Qing'er today, who had rushed to tidy herself up the moment she got in the car after being caught in the rain, suddenly surfaced before his eyes.

At this moment, it formed a sharp contrast with the Jiang Baobao before him.

If it were Lu Qing'er, would she take such painstaking care of Mobai and Yanbao in this kind of weather?

A question suddenly surfaced in Li Beijue's mind.

His brows furrowed slightly as he carefully pondered the answer to this question in his mind for two seconds.

He then instantly snapped back to his senses, a trace of annoyance appearing on his face.

What was he thinking?

How could he compare the girl who had saved him with Jiang Baobao?

Lu Qing'er had already said today that she liked children very much, and in the future, she would definitely treat Mobai and Yanbao just like her own biological sons!
