Chapter 183: Is He Really Getting Married?

~7 min read 1,380 words

Jiang Baobao was almost amused by her description.

She gave a light cough, shook her head slightly, and then followed up on what Cai Xiaotang had just said: "I also think he might be blind. The two of them have inexplicably become very close. I even bumped into them having lunch together the other day, arm in arm, very intimate."

"How can that be!" Cai Xiaotang's eyes widened instantly.

Jiang Baobao looked at her, puzzled.

Cai Xiaotang immediately lowered her voice and said with some worry: "With Lu Qing'er's personality, being by Li Beijue's side now, she must be dying of smugness! Are you really just going to watch the two of them be together?"

"I have no right to interfere with who Li Beijue is with, nor do I want to."

Jiang Baobao answered without hesitation.

Cai Xiaotang immediately retorted: "Then what about Yanbao? What about Mobai? Do you intend to let them call Lu Qing'er 'Mommy'?"

"Of course not!" Jiang Baobao's tone rose slightly.

Her sons would never call another woman 'Mommy'!

Cai Xiaotang hurriedly said: "That's exactly it. Although I don't know why Li Beijue suddenly went blind, you have to consider the children, right? If Lu Qing'er doesn't have designs on the position of Mrs. Li, I'll write my name, Cai Xiaotang, backwards! It's impossible for Li Beijue to let you take the children away, and if they really are together, it's impossible for him to let you keep living in the Li Mansion!"

Jiang Baobao had also been considering this matter over the past two days; what Cai Xiaotang said was exactly what she had been worrying about.

Her expression became somewhat grave for a moment.

Yet she heard Cai Xiaotang say unhappily: "Otherwise... why don't you try again to snatch him back? I really can't accept that idiot Lu Qing'er being so smug! You didn't see her look just now; she practically had 'smug' written all over her face!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Baobao was caught between laughter and tears. She reached out and flicked Cai Xiaotang on the forehead, saying helplessly: "What nonsense are you spouting? I don't love Li Beijue anymore, and there will be no possibility for us again! Right now, I thank the heavens as long as he doesn't cause me trouble! I just want to accompany those three little ones as they grow up. I can't go head-to-head with Li Beijue right now, otherwise, do you think I'd be willing to live in that broken Li Mansion of his?"

As Jiang Baobao spoke, thinking of Li Beijue's volatile moods made her chest feel tight.

At the same time, she felt a bit anxious in her heart.

What exactly does Li Beijue mean?

Does he really intend to... with Lu Qing'er?

Or is it to provoke her?

Jiang Baobao suddenly had an incredible thought.

Then she quickly shook her head in her heart.

Li Beijue has no need to play any games with her.

He doesn't have a secret crush on her!

Thinking this, Jiang Baobao subconsciously looked in Li Beijue's direction.

She stared at him for a few seconds, but couldn't help but frown.

Is it an illusion?

Why does she feel like Li Beijue's complexion seems a bit pale?

The color of his lips doesn't look very healthy...

Jiang Baobao watched for a good while, then her gaze fell on Lu Qing'er beside him, and she immediately looked away with an expressionless face.

Forget it!

He isn't a child; he will notice his own physical condition!

Jiang Baobao couldn't be bothered to care anymore, pulled Cai Xiaotang along, and turned to join the conversation of several Team owners not far away.

Today's banquet was entirely buffet-style, and there was also a small exchange exhibition match brought by the newcomers from several domestic Teams.

Jiang Baobao completely ignored Li Beijue not far away, simply avoiding that half of the Main Hall where he was, and only moved within a small area.

The two made eye contact several times, and Jiang Baobao instantly looked away each time.

Not long after—

Cai Xiaotang began to look around.

Seeing that Jiang Baobao had finished chatting, she whispered: "Baobao, can you accompany me to the restroom?"

"Mm, let's go." Jiang Baobao agreed immediately, and the two walked together toward a corridor far from the Main Hall.

When Cai Xiaotang arrived, she had brought a delicate clutch, which she handed to Jiang Baobao for safekeeping before turning to enter the restroom.

Jiang Baobao waited outside the door, looking down at the chat in her Team's group on her phone.

Just as she intended to reply, she suddenly heard footsteps behind her.

Jiang Baobao thought it was Cai Xiaotang coming out, so she subconsciously turned around and said: "Why are you so fast..."

She stopped abruptly halfway through her sentence.

The person in front of her was not Cai Xiaotang.

It was Lu Qing'er, who had also come to the restroom at some point.

As their eyes met, a hint of gunpowder ignited in the air.

Lu Qing'er hadn't expected to meet here either. She was stunned for a moment, then a look of utter mockery appeared on her face, and she spoke first: "Jiang Baobao, I really didn't expect that you would actually be hanging out with a bunch of people who don't do proper work and only know how to play games. You really are mud that can't be plastered onto a wall!"

Lu Qing'er had already heard from others that Jiang Baobao was the owner of a gaming Team, but she held it in contempt.

What's so great about being an owner?

So what if you're a champion?

Aren't they all just playing games? How impressive could they be?

The look in her eyes as she watched Jiang Baobao was full of disdain.

Jiang Baobao, however, was not angry.

She just looked at her and suddenly revealed a look of pity.

Then she scoffed and asked unhurriedly: "Do you know how ridiculous you look with your short-sightedness? Do you dare to say these words to others outside? How could Li Beijue dare to bring a woman like you, with long hair and short insight, here? Aren't you afraid of being embarrassing?"

Lu Qing'er felt a bit unnerved by Jiang Baobao's expression.

She truly didn't understand anything about so-called esports; she only knew it was a group of people playing games.

But Jiang Baobao's gaze made her burn with anger.

That look in her eyes was as if she were saying that she was nothing but a fool.

Lu Qing'er's gaze flickered for a moment, then she suddenly changed the subject and continued to provoke her: "Beijue is just willing to bring me here; when we walked in just now, he said it didn't matter if I didn't understand anything."

Lu Qing'er's tone was boastful, and as she spoke, she suddenly reached out to lightly stroke the necklace on her chest: "By the way, as for the relationship between the two of us... you must have seen it by now. If you know what's good for you, you should at least stop bothering Beijue in the future. After all, he has never liked you, and I..."

Lu Qing'er lowered her hand, deliberately letting the necklace on her chest be fully exposed to Jiang Baobao's eyes.

She then deliberately reached out to pinch her earlobe, letting Jiang Baobao see clearly the diamond earrings that matched the necklace.

It was precisely the set of jewelry that Li Beijue had paid for last time.

Jiang Baobao's gaze flickered for a moment, and her mood suddenly became somewhat heavy.

Li Beijue had never given her anything before...

Could it be that he was serious about giving Lu Qing'er jewelry?

Then what about Yanbao and Mobai?

Jiang Baobao thought about the two little ones and frowned without saying a word.

Lu Qing'er, however, assumed that Jiang Baobao was jealous, and her expression became even more smug.

She immediately asked as if to declare her sovereignty: "Jiang Baobao, the man you can't have is now devoted entirely to me, and he even let me personally choose the jewelry I like. You don't need me to tell you what that means, do you?"

【Author's Note】

A reversal is coming soon!
