Chapter 226: My Woman, Not Even a Glance is Allowed

~7 min read 1,308 words

The man quickly deleted all the photos on his phone.

Li Beijue, however, remained as cold as ever, without the slightest softening in his expression.

"Can you let me go now?" the man asked with some impatience.

Jiang Baobao gave him a cold look, but out of the corner of her eye, she saw a swimming pool administrator walking toward them.

"Hello, I happened to be patrolling nearby. May I ask what happened?"

The administrator asked directly as soon as they arrived.

Jiang Baobao couldn't help but curl her lips.

She had originally intended to let this man off the hook... but now it seemed he wasn't very lucky.

Since the administrator was here, they might as well investigate thoroughly; this guy might even be a repeat offender!

Just as Jiang Baobao was thinking this, before she could speak, she heard Mobai shout from the side: "Auntie! This uncle just took secret photos of my mommy!"

"What?" The administrator's expression turned serious instantly, and they turned to ask: "Sir, please hand over your phone."

"He has already deleted the photos," Li Beijue said coldly.

Jiang Baobao followed up: "But just to be safe, it would be better to send him to the police station for a proper investigation. He might have photos of other people on his phone."

"Understood, I'll call the Security Guard right away," the administrator agreed immediately, looking coldly at the man in front of them.

The man panicked immediately and hurriedly explained: "There really aren't any more! This is my first time doing something like this! I was just momentarily possessed by a devil..."

"Whether you've taken any or not, go explain it to the police," Jiang Baobao said coldly, and left with the three little ones.

Outside the swimming pool, there were also specially designated indoor play areas and rest areas.

Jiang Baobao found a quiet place to sit down, only then feeling a wave of nausea in hindsight.

She hadn't expected to find such a pervert everywhere; she had originally brought the three little ones here to have a happy time today, but now...

"Mommy, don't be angry! Daddy already stood up for you just now. When Yanbao and I grow up, we will protect you too!"

Mobai suddenly spoke up, comforting Jiang Baobao.

Jiang Baobao was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, suddenly feeling a warmth in her heart.

"Mommy isn't angry, I just feel..."

She didn't quite know how to explain this complicated feeling to the three little ones, so she simply changed the subject: "How about Mommy takes you to a private pool in a little while?"

"Okay!" Tiantian was the first to agree, and after saying that, she added earnestly: "Anyway, we've played enough just now, and whenever I keep looking at the slide, I just want to play on it, and I can't learn to swim properly!"

Hearing the little girl tease herself, Jiang Baobao finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Immediately after, a pair of slender, handsome hands suddenly appeared before her, holding a water bottle.

"Thank you..." Jiang Baobao said, subconsciously reaching out to take it.

After a two-second reaction, she realized that the person who had handed her the water was actually Li Beijue.

Jiang Baobao was slightly stunned and looked up at the man in front of her.

Only then did she notice that he still had a serious expression, with the word "unhappy" seemingly written all over his face.

Jiang Baobao stared at him for a few seconds, and a strange feeling suddenly welled up in her heart.

If she didn't know how much this guy hated her before, she might have really misunderstood that his anger just now was because he was... jealous.

These two words flashed through Jiang Baobao's mind, and she immediately dismissed the thought just as quickly.

Li Beijue would be jealous over her?

The sun would probably rise from the west first!

He helped out just now, perhaps only because of... a sense of justice!

Jiang Baobao quickly found an answer for her earlier doubt, and the more she thought about it, the more it made sense.

No matter how much Li Beijue hated her, he wouldn't just sit idly by in the face of such immoral behavior!

So there was absolutely no need to overthink it!

And there was no other meaning whatsoever!

Jiang Baobao nodded repeatedly in her heart, drank two sips of water to calm her mood, and then said to Li Beijue with a smile: "If I had known, I would have listened to you and gone to the private pool. Is it still too late to switch now?"

"Yes," Li Beijue replied with a dark face.

After resting for a while longer, the group went directly to the front desk and switched to a small private pool.

The three little ones played inside for a long time, and seeing that it was about time, the family headed home.

Jiang Baobao first helped the three little ones bathe and tucked them into bed, then returned to her own bedroom, but just as she was about to get into bed, she suddenly thought of something.

Li Beijue helped her catch the pervert today... she hadn't thanked him yet...

Jiang Baobao's eyes flickered for a moment, her expression hesitant.

After thinking for two seconds, she turned and left the room, heading straight to the kitchen downstairs.

A few minutes later, she appeared at the door of Li Beijue's room with a glass of milk.

"Knock, knock, knock—"

She tentatively knocked on the door.

Immediately after, she heard steady footsteps coming from inside the room.

With a "click," the door was pulled open from the inside.

Li Beijue also seemed to have just showered; his hair was still dripping, and his pajamas were slightly damp at the chest.

Jiang Baobao suddenly remembered the image of someone's bare, well-defined muscles.

"Ahem..."

Realizing her train of thought had gone astray, Jiang Baobao hurriedly coughed lightly and said quickly: "I forgot to say thank you today. You were still running a fever two days ago, and you went swimming today, so be careful not to catch a cold. Drink a cup of hot milk before you sleep. I don't mean anything else, just to express my gratitude."

As she spoke, she quickly shoved the cup into Li Beijue's hand.

Then she heard the other person say in a low voice, seemingly in a good mood: "You're welcome."

Jiang Baobao's expression stiffened, and for a moment, she doubted whether she had misheard something.

Li Beijue just said... you're welcome?

Jiang Baobao carefully savored these three words in her heart, feeling that it was truly quite rare for them to come out of Li Beijue's mouth.

She could not put her finger on what was strange about it, and hurriedly said again: "Then I'm going back, bye-bye."

A trace of a smile flashed in the depths of Li Beijue's eyes; he watched her back walk away before closing the door.

Jiang Baobao, however, did not stop her feet and went straight back to her room.

As soon as she closed the door, she could not help but ponder Li Beijue's attitude from just now.

"Tsk... has something really happened to him recently?"

Jiang Baobao muttered in a low voice, her face full of disbelief, and her expression full of confusion.

Li Beijue really did seem a bit gentler than before... and it happened so suddenly!

Could he be deliberately holding back some ulterior motive, planning to mess with her?

Jiang Baobao had truly been scared by how fast that person could turn hostile, and for a moment, she felt a bit hesitant.

Just as she was thinking, she suddenly heard a ringtone.

She grabbed her phone at random, and after just one glance, her expression suddenly became somewhat solemn.
