Chapter 194: Forcibly Kissed by Li Beijue

As soon as these words were spoken, the dining table suddenly went quiet for a moment.

Even the three little ones subconsciously exchanged a glance.

Mobai and Yanbao's eyes were even sparkling.

Mommy is caring about Daddy!

She's afraid Daddy is drinking too much!

Jiang Baobao also sensed that the atmosphere was a bit off, so she gave a light cough and hurriedly changed the subject: "Xiao Ding, it's your turn, start your report."

"Oh..." Xiao Ding hurriedly nodded, his eyes darting gossipy between Li Beijue and Jiang Baobao, and he began his report honestly.

Li Beijue set down his wine glass, but a dark glint flashed in the depths of his eyes.

He was indeed feeling quite uncomfortable at this moment.

He didn't know if it was because he had been drinking, but his heart was burning with an inexplicable heat.

Was Jiang Baobao caring about him just now?

He pondered this question continuously, and his previously irritable mood suddenly calmed down a little.

Yet, a trace of strange emotion surged forth.

He didn't want to wait any longer.

Rather than investigating slowly and thinking of ten thousand strategies, it would be better to find her and ask her clearly in person!

If she really was that girl from sixteen years ago...

Li Beijue's gaze swept toward Shen Lingfeng's direction without a sound, his eyes deepening abruptly.

Twenty minutes later—

Jiang Baobao finally finished a brief summary of each contestant's situation and stood up from her seat.

"You all keep chatting, I'm going to the restroom."

A few seconds later, Li Beijue also stood up.

"Going out to make a call, you all keep chatting."

He dropped this sentence and also strode out.

As soon as the private room door closed, everyone instantly erupted.

"Do you guys think President Li went to find the boss!"

Xiao Ding regained his gossipy expression and asked excitedly.

The others immediately jeered: "Why don't you go out and take a look, then come back and report to us!"

"I wouldn't dare! I still want to live a few more years!"

Xiao Ding immediately waved his hands, and the sound of laughter and noise filled the private room.

Inside the restroom—

Jiang Baobao washed her face with cold water, looked at herself in the mirror, and sighed helplessly.

Let's just get through this meal today; when I get home tonight, I must make the contract matter clear to Li Beijue!

I will give him those thirty billion!

To avoid any more trouble in the future!

Jiang Baobao made up her mind, tidied herself up, and only then walked out of the restroom.

But she didn't expect that as soon as she stepped out, her peripheral vision caught a figure standing outside the door.

Her footsteps faltered, and she subconsciously took a step back, only then seeing clearly who was standing outside.

"Li Beijue, why are you standing at the entrance of the women's restroom? Do you want to be caught as a pervert?"

Jiang Baobao asked irritably and lifted her foot to leave.

But the next second, her wrist was suddenly grabbed firmly!

"I have something to ask you." Li Beijue said in a deep voice, and without another word, he pulled her toward the stairwell diagonally across from the restroom!

"What? What do you want to do again!" Jiang Baobao was stunned by the tug and subconsciously tried to struggle.

But the strength with which he held her hand was simply too great, leaving her with no way to break free at all!

"Bang!"

The stairwell door was pushed open fiercely and then slammed shut heavily.

Jiang Baobao was even pinned directly against the wall by Li Beijue, who was holding both her hands!

"Li Beijue! Are you crazy!"

Jiang Baobao glared angrily at the person in front of her, her chest heaving with rage, but as she met Li Beijue's eyes, a strange feeling suddenly flashed through her heart.

Why does today's Li Beijue seem a bit different?

His eyes... are as if he is probing for something?

Jiang Baobao was stunned for a moment, and the next second, she heard the person in front of her ask in a low voice: "Jiang Baobao, do you have a necklace made of jade carved into a magnolia flower?"

"Magnolia flower?"

Jiang Baobao's heart trembled violently, the image of that necklace suddenly appearing in her mind, and then a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes.

"Why are you asking this? Whether I have a necklace or not, what does it have to do with you? Let go!"

Her attitude was firm, and she struggled hard again.

But it only resulted in an even stronger restraint from the other party.

"Answer me! Yes or no!"

Li Beijue's voice rose slightly as he asked sternly once more.

Jiang Baobao felt helpless, but she couldn't shake off the person in front of her, and she was filled with annoyance.

Thinking of her team members and the three little ones still waiting for her in the private room, she could only answer irritably: "Yes! But it has nothing to do with you! That was a gift from my mother! Now can you let go!"

"Did your mother give it to you?"

Li Beijue's pupils shrank violently, his heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly thought of the name Xia Xuerou.

He gripped Jiang Baobao's wrist even tighter, gritted his teeth, and asked, "What about that necklace? Where is it now!"

Li Beijue's expression grew increasingly tense, and even his breathing froze for a split second.

Jiang Baobao's patience was completely exhausted.

She looked at the person in front of her, puzzled, and said impatiently, "Lost! It was lost a long time ago! Are you ever going to finish?"

As soon as her words fell, she saw the person in front of her suddenly change his expression!

The next second—

She felt the man's cold, pleasant scent wash over her, overwhelming and all-encompassing!

Her lips were fiercely covered by his soft, slightly cool lips!

Damn it!

What is Li Beijue doing!

A buzz sounded in Jiang Baobao's ears, and her mind instantly went blank.

The man's kiss came fiercely and urgently, like a ferocious beast, gently gnawing at her tender lips.

Jiang Baobao's eyes flickered for a moment, and then she felt a sharp pain in her lower lip.

A heavy fire of anger suddenly rose in the depths of her eyes.

Is this guy drunk!

Why is he suddenly acting crazy!

She clenched her fists tightly and, without a second thought, bit down hard on Li Beijue's lower lip!

She didn't know where the strength came from, but she shoved the person in front of her away!

"Li Beijue!!!"

Jiang Baobao glared at the man in front of her, panting, and the next second, emotion overriding reason, she swung her hand up!

"Slap!"

The sound of a loud slap echoed in the stairwell.

Li Beijue was knocked sideways by the slap, and he instantly calmed down quite a bit.

Jiang Baobao's palm was burning, and even her arm was trembling slightly.

She had used all her strength in that slap just now.

Neither of them spoke first, and only the sound of shallow breathing remained in the quiet space.

She looked at the man in front of her with a blank expression, her gaze slowly falling on the smear of bright red at the corner of his mouth.

Immediately after, she tasted the same metallic, rusty flavor in her own mouth.

Damn!

Is this guy Li Beijue a dog?

Jiang Baobao could feel that her lower lip had been bitten slightly even without touching it, and she became even more furious.

What kind of fit is he throwing all of a sudden?

What does her necklace have to do with him?

And to suddenly, for no reason...

Thinking about the kiss just now, Jiang Baobao felt no sweetness at all, only irritation.

Li Beijue always warns her to stay away from him and not to throw herself at him, so why was he acting like a hooligan just now!

Does he want to test her?

Then she was truly sorry, she was no longer the Jiang Baobao from before whose heart belonged only to him!
