Chapter 211: Li Beijue Came to Pick Her Up Personally

Inside the restaurant, Jiang Baobao and a group of "hungry wolves" had already wiped out every last bit of the crayfish on the table.

"Ah... I'm stuffed! Boss, if I said I could eat another two pounds, would you beat me up?"

Xiao Ding stretched, deliberately winking at Jiang Baobao.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Baobao rolled her eyes in annoyance: "You've all already eaten six pounds tonight! You shouldn't eat too much of such spicy food lately; if you get a stomachache or bellyache and it affects your training, don't blame me for being heartless!"

"Yes, yes, yes! We promise to take care of our health! We can't delay your great training plan, Boss..." Xiao Ding chimed in helplessly, instantly making the whole room laugh.

The group left the restaurant chatting and laughing, but when they walked quickly to the entrance, they discovered that it had started raining heavily outside at some point.

"Why is it raining again? The rain these days really comes whenever it wants..." Jiang Baobao muttered a quiet complaint and took out her phone to check it.

Then she said: "The driver said he's already waiting for us outside. You guys go back with the Team's vehicle; I'll hail a taxi home myself."

"It's so late, and the rain is so heavy outside; it's not safe for you to take a taxi alone."

Shen Lingfeng frowned immediately upon hearing this.

The others also chimed in with advice as they walked out: "That's right, Boss. You're so beautiful; what if the taxi driver has bad intentions? Just go back with our bus tonight and stay at the Base; anyway..."

They were halfway through their chatter when they suddenly stopped dead in their tracks at the restaurant entrance, staring in unison in a direction not far away.

"Boss, is that... our big financial backer?" Ano pointed in the distance.

Jiang Baobao was looking down, trying to hail a ride on a phone app, but upon hearing this, she subconsciously looked up and saw Li Beijue walking toward them while holding an umbrella.

Jiang Baobao's eyes widened in disbelief.

Damn!

Why did this guy show up again!

This makes no sense!

She subconsciously took a step back, the shock in her heart written all over her face.

While she was thinking, Li Beijue had already strode over.

"Good evening, big financial backer!"

Several team members immediately greeted him with smiles, their teasing gazes unable to help but sweep back and forth between Li Beijue and Jiang Baobao.

"Why are you here?" Jiang Baobao asked subconsciously.

A rare look of speechlessness appeared on Li Beijue's face, and he replied in a deep voice: "The rain is so heavy outside; what do you think I came here for?"

He didn't answer directly but threw the question back at Jiang Baobao, feeling a bit angry inside.

Is this woman a blockhead?

On such a rainy day, if he didn't come specifically to pick her up, was he just bored with nothing to do?

Jiang Baobao was stunned for a moment, unable to wrap her head around it for a second.

Just as she was about to speak, she heard Shen Lingfeng ask in her ear: "Do you want to go back to the Base tonight, or...?"

No sooner had his voice fallen than he received two icy glares.

Shen Lingfeng acted as if he hadn't seen them, simply waiting for Jiang Baobao's answer.

Li Beijue had already come twice today.

If Baobao didn't want to go with him, then he wouldn't be able to take her away tonight no matter what!

Raindrops pattered against the ground, showing signs of getting even heavier.

Jiang Baobao hadn't intended to return to the Base in the first place, so upon hearing this, she answered hurriedly without thinking: "I'll just go back; Mobai and the others are still waiting for me at home..."

Her voice had barely faded when she felt her wrist being grabbed tightly!

The next second, Li Beijue pulled Jiang Baobao directly to his side!

He then glanced in Shen Lingfeng's direction and said in a low voice: "Whatever work she has can be done tomorrow; now, it's time to go home."

Li Beijue deliberately emphasized the words "go home."

An outsider wouldn't think anything of it at first glance, but Shen Lingfeng's brow twitched violently.

Li Beijue's attitude toward Jiang Baobao was not that of a man who was already divorced!

He had already discovered this before...

Shen Lingfeng's fingers tightened for a moment, but his face remained calm.

Li Beijue, however, didn't want to stay any longer; he opened his umbrella and stared at Jiang Baobao expressionlessly, seemingly urging her silently to leave with him quickly.

Jiang Baobao stood to the side, speechless.

What is this guy acting up for today?

She applied a little force to her wrist, broke free from Li Beijue's restraint, and then pretended to be nonchalant as she smiled at the others.

Forget it, everyone is watching here; whatever needs to be said, she'd ask him privately later!

Jiang Baobao suppressed her emotions and then urged: "Then I'll head back first today. Don't train when you get back tonight; it's not safe to have the computers on in such heavy rain. Go back and get some good rest."

"Yes, take care, Boss! Don't worry about us! It's more important for the two of you to go home and see the kids!"

The group couldn't help but start teasing Jiang Baobao with their loose lips again.

Jiang Baobao finally couldn't help but roll her eyes at them and turned to leave, pulling Li Beijue along.

The rain outside was truly too heavy; by the time the two were sitting in the car, their clothes were all wet to varying degrees.

Half of Jiang Baobao's skirt was stuck to her body, but Li Beijue was even more "miserable," with half of his shoulder soaked through, seemingly ready to be wrung out.

Jiang Baobao's gaze swept over his soaked clothes, and her mood became somewhat subtle.

Since when did this guy become so gentlemanly toward her?

Just now when he held the umbrella, it seemed he had been tilting it toward her side the whole time...

She thought about it, still feeling puzzled by today's events, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Why did you come to pick me up today, really? Is everything okay? If you have something to say, why not just say it?"

Li Beijue's hand, which was tidying his clothes, paused abruptly, and a breath of air got stuck in his chest.

Does he need a reason to come pick someone up?

Where did this woman get so many "whys" from?

Li Beijue felt a bit dizzy, and his forehead was also throbbing with a dull pain.

Just as he intended to speak, he suddenly felt the scene before his eyes blur for an instant, and his throat felt somewhat uncomfortable.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Li Beijue suddenly began to cough violently; Jiang Baobao was given a huge fright and hurriedly looked around, only to discover there wasn't a single bottle of water in the car.

Li Beijue also calmed down, and only then did he speak in a low voice: "It was Yanbao and Mobai who made me come..."

Jiang Baobao immediately understood in her heart.

In the afternoon, this guy had said the same thing; it seems those two little ones didn't spare him much trouble today because they missed her...

Jiang Baobao inexplicably felt it was somewhat amusing, but just as she intended to speak, she discovered that an abnormal flush had suddenly appeared on the face of the person in front of her.

"Li Beijue, is there somewhere in your body that feels uncomfortable?" Jiang Baobao frowned slightly and asked, feeling uneasy.
