Chapter 192: Li Beijue is Left Out
Li Beijue paused his steps, looked at Jiang Baobao, who still had a hint of anger on her face, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
He then spoke without a second thought: "I'll have my assistant drive my car away later; it's more convenient to follow your car."
"You!" Jiang Baobao did not expect him to be so righteous and self-assured, and she suddenly felt a surge of frustration.
What on earth was wrong with Li Beijue today?
He had shown up at the airport for no reason, first lost his temper with her, and now, as if nothing had happened, he wanted to treat her Team members to a meal and hitch a ride?
Could he be any more outrageous?
The two of them stood there in a stalemate, not moving.
Li Beijue looked at Jiang Baobao, seemingly sensing her emotions.
Yet even he himself could not explain why he was doing this.
When he first heard that she had taken the three children to the airport, he was filled with rage.
But more than that, he wanted to know if she was truly the girl from sixteen years ago!
Before he figured that out, he absolutely could not let her leave just like that!
Just then—
"Mommy, let Daddy come with us!"
Yanbao suddenly jumped down from his seat and ran to the car door, breaking the stalemate between the two.
Jiang Baobao was slightly stunned, her expression still hesitant.
But before she could speak, she heard Xiao Ding teasing: "Yeah, Boss! Just let Mr. Li come with us! Don't worry, we won't talk nonsense! We guarantee we won't gossip!"
"Yeah, Boss! We definitely won't gossip!"
The others chimed in one after another; although they said they wouldn't gossip, their tone was full of the desire to watch a show.
Jiang Baobao took a deep breath; this time she was too lazy to even speak, and she turned around expressionlessly to sit in the first row of the bus.
Li Beijue raised his eyebrows, then unhurriedly got on the bus and sat in the row behind Jiang Baobao.
The driver started the vehicle, and the bus slowly drove out of the airport, heading toward the hotel that had been booked in advance.
Jiang Baobao sat in her seat, feeling incredibly stifled.
Who could tell her how things had ended up like this?
Li Beijue was being like a lingering ghost today!
Half an hour later—
The bus stopped in front of the most high-end hotel in the city.
The group went inside to drop off their luggage first, then followed Jiang Baobao in a grand procession to a very famous Chinese restaurant nearby.
As soon as they entered the private room, the group of big boys couldn't wait to find seats for themselves.
The middle seats were habitually left for Jiang Baobao and Shen Lingfeng.
It was just that now, there were three little ones and Li Beijue's seats added to the side.
"Boss, since you're treating us today, we won't be polite, right?"
As soon as he sat down, a boy with dyed yellow hair couldn't wait to pick up the menu.
Tiantian immediately jumped down from her chair, ran to his side, and said in a crisp voice: "Brother Ano! I'll help you order! I know what's delicious!"
"Good! Listening to you is definitely the right choice! In the whole Base, you're the little girl who knows how to eat the best!"
The teenager named Ano agreed with a smile and affectionately took the little girl into his arms.
On the other side, as soon as Ke Hao sat down, he took out a small laptop and huddled together with Mobai.
Mobai only took two looks before his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Brother Ke Hao! This program of yours is too amazing! But I think it can be improved a bit more! Yanbao! Come look too! Didn't you want to learn this before?"
As the little one spoke, he called Yanbao over, moved the computer in front of himself, and his little hands began to tap rapidly on the keyboard.
Looking at the rest of the team members, they had already taken out their phones and were huddled together playing games.
Jiang Baobao hadn't been with the Team for a while, and there was a lot of work to hand over to Shen Lingfeng, so as soon as she sat down, she immediately began discussing the recent training situation with him.
Li Beijue sat in his original spot, becoming the most neglected one instead.
He looked to the left, then looked to the right, and suddenly felt a subtle sense of displeasure for no reason.
No matter where he was, he, Li Beijue, was always the center of attention.
He had never been ignored like this before.
He opened his mouth, wanting to speak, but his peripheral vision caught Shen Lingfeng's hand resting on the back of the chair behind Jiang Baobao.
The two of them seemed to be looking at a map in the game on their phone, their heads quite close together.
Li Beijue's pupils shrank sharply, and a chill suddenly filled his eyes.
This Shen Lingfeng... it seems his relationship with Jiang Baobao is really good...
Just as Li Beijue was thinking this, he suddenly heard a slight sound at the door of the private room.
Several waiters walked in carrying red wine that had already been decanted.
"This is the wine you ordered..."
As the waiter spoke, he placed various types of alcohol in the center.
Besides red wine, there were actually champagne and beer!
"You guys are being too reckless, aren't you? Mixing so many types of alcohol?"
Jiang Baobao glanced at the tabletop and instantly frowned.
The boys exchanged glances for a moment, and the most lively one, Xiao Ding, immediately said with a smile: "Boss, it's settled, it's to welcome us! Didn't you say you'd give us a day off tomorrow? Then let's drink to our heart's content today! We guarantee we'll go back to sleep after we're done! We definitely won't cause any trouble!"
Jiang Baobao was still frowning, her expression hesitant. Just as she was struggling with whether to agree, she heard Shen Lingfeng also persuade: "Just let them drink. They've all been training quite hard, it's rare for them to be this happy today."
Jiang Baobao subconsciously turned her head to look at Shen Lingfeng, gave him a look that said "I'll give you face," and then agreed: "Alright then, since your Brother Shen has spoken, I'll make an exception for you today! Just this once! Next time you want to drink, only if you achieve results!"
"Great! Thank you, Boss!"
The crowd immediately cheered.
Tiantian also joined in the fun and said, "Uncle Shen! I want to eat two ice creams today! Hurry and help me tell Mommy!"
As soon as the words fell, Mobai also said loudly, "Uncle Shen! I want to play on the computer all night today! You help me tell Mommy too!"
As soon as the two little ones finished speaking, a burst of irrepressible laughter rang out in the private room.
Shen Lingfeng replied, unable to laugh or cry, "I'm afraid Uncle Shen can't help you with this favor; why don't you tell Mommy yourselves?"
The laughter in the private room grew even louder, filled with harmony and joy.
Li Beijue sat silently to one side, feeling his chest grow increasingly stifled.
It seemed that Shen Lingfeng also had a very good relationship with Mobai...
He glanced at Mobai and Shen Lingfeng, who were laughing and talking, and a sense of sourness suddenly rose in his heart.
Had Jiang Baobao been with this Shen Lingfeng all those years she was abroad?
Even Mobai was so close to him!!!
