Chapter 238: Li Beijue confesses the truth, saying I love you

"Huh? What are we doing going to my room?"

Jiang Baobao looked puzzled, and while she was asking, she was already being pulled all the way back to her room by Cai Xiaotang.

With a "bang," the room door was shut.

Before Jiang Baobao could even speak, she felt her wrist being grabbed tightly by someone!

"Baobao! I have a very important matter to ask of you! You must promise me!"

Cai Xiaotang spoke with a serious expression, clutching Jiang Baobao's hand as if she were clutching a life-saving straw.

Jiang Baobao was completely bewildered by what Cai Xiaotang said, and seeing her so nervous, she assumed something major had happened, so she immediately asked subconsciously: "What on earth happened? Tell me first, I will definitely help you..."

"Good! You said it! You aren't allowed to go back on your word!"

Hearing this, Cai Xiaotang's eyes lit up immediately, and then she quickly explained: "That old man from the Mu Family, I don't know what kind of mood he's in tomorrow night, but he suddenly wants to host some banquet, and he even specifically called me to make sure I attend! I definitely wouldn't have gone... but my brother called me too, so..."

"So you agreed?"

Jiang Baobao finally understood what was going on, let out a complete sigh of relief, and asked back, torn between crying and laughing.

Hearing this, Cai Xiaotang nodded listlessly.

"My brother usually doesn't care about these things... I don't know why this time he actually came to invite me too, and he promised me that as long as I go tomorrow night, I won't have any blind dates for the next month! Once I thought about it, wouldn't that be a great deal? So I agreed!"

After listening to her finish, Jiang Baobao blinked, wanting to laugh for a moment, and deliberately asked back: "But... what does this have to do with me?"

"Of course it has to do with you!" Cai Xiaotang immediately widened her eyes, and while she spoke, she quickly grabbed his arm as if afraid that Jiang Baobao would run away.

Then she pleaded: "No matter what work you have tomorrow night, just hand it over to Brother Shen! Then come with me to the banquet! Otherwise, I'll definitely be bored to death all by myself!"

Jiang Baobao couldn't hold back her smile anymore.

Yet she deliberately said nonchalantly: "So that's the matter... you just want me to accompany you to the banquet?"

She had thought it was something major!

It made her worry for half a day!

It turned out to be nothing more than a banquet!

Jiang Baobao muttered to herself in her heart.

After thinking for two seconds, she felt an innocent and desperate gaze cast from someone beside her.

She sighed and had no choice but to agree: "Alright then, I don't have any important work tomorrow night, so I can accompany you..."

"Really?" Cai Xiaotang's expression suddenly became pleasantly surprised, her hand holding Jiang Baobao's arm tightened, and she said loudly: "I knew you were the best to me! Don't worry, there shouldn't be any trouble tomorrow night! We'll just go through the motions after we arrive! Then we can just find a corner to sit and chat! I'm too lazy to socialize with the people who come!"

As Cai Xiaotang spoke, she thought of the scene tomorrow night and felt a bit of a headache.

Then she couldn't help but mutter softly: "I don't know why that old man suddenly wants to hold a banquet... If he wants to introduce me to others, I might as well deliberately dress a bit sloppily! Anyway, it's his face that will be lost..."

Jiang Baobao was stunned upon hearing this, her expression suddenly becoming helpless.

She knew a little bit about Cai Xiaotang's family affairs, but she never asked too much.

But thinking that a lot of people might go tomorrow night, Jiang Baobao still couldn't help but advise: "Isn't your brother going to be there tomorrow night too? We should just show our faces, it's better not to cause trouble. If you really stir up some mess, he'll scold you again by then..."

"I know, I was just saying it, it's just a joke..." Cai Xiaotang stuck out her tongue, looking indifferent.

Hearing this, Jiang Baobao shook her head with amusement and didn't say anything more.

The two chatted for a few more sentences before leaving the room.

Jiang Baobao went straight to the training room, intending to check on the team members' training progress.

After staying in the Team for another afternoon, she then planned to leave and go straight to the kindergarten to pick up the three little ones.

But she didn't expect that just as she stepped out of the villa—

She saw a familiar car parked outside.

"Li Beijue? Why are you here?"

Jiang Baobao's footsteps paused abruptly, and she asked subconsciously, her expression somewhat puzzled.

This is the second time, right?

Li Beijue came to pick her up without a word...

What exactly is this guy up to?

Jiang Baobao stood in place, looking thoughtfully in Li Beijue's direction without walking forward.

In her mind, she couldn't help but think of the awkward scene from this morning again.

Immediately after, she heard Li Beijue say unhurriedly: "Let's go, let's go to the kindergarten together..."

"No need!"

Jiang Baobao refused without even thinking.

After saying it, a flash of surprise suddenly crossed her heart.

She... seemed to have panicked a little just now?

But what was there to panic about!

What was there to be panicked about?

Jiang Baobao felt that she was being inexplicable.

Yet she knew very clearly in her heart that she did not want to go to the kindergarten with Li Beijue.

She forced herself to calm down quickly, and then she pretended to be calm and said: "I can just drive my own car there, you should drive your own car too."

As she spoke, she strode toward the direction where she had parked her car.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw that Li Beijue was still standing in place.

Jiang Baobao's gaze flickered for a moment, and she subconsciously quickened her pace.

Not until she shut the car door with a "bang" did her eyes look toward the black car in front.

Seeing that Li Beijue had already gotten into the car, she took a deep breath.

Her expression became puzzled once again.

Is Li Beijue really having no problems lately?

Even if he suddenly had a change of heart and wanted to be a bit better to her, isn't this transformation a bit too fast?

He doesn't give others any time to adapt at all!

And even if it were for the sake of the children, they aren't here right now, so there is absolutely no need for him to put on an act!

If she asks directly, it would make her seem a bit conceited...

Or is it because his attitude toward her was so poor before, that now that he has simply done some normal things, she feels quite unaccustomed to it instead?

Jiang Baobao's index finger tapped lightly and irritably against the steering wheel, and for a moment, she could not make up her mind.

While lost in thought, she saw the car in front had already started moving.

She hurriedly stepped on the gas pedal and followed behind Li Beijue's car, temporarily casting all the questions from just now to the back of her mind.

Inside the car, Li Beijue's gaze subconsciously observed Jiang Baobao's car behind him through the rearview mirror.

He frowned slightly, seemingly pondering something as well.

Jiang Baobao is avoiding him.

Li Beijue recited this sentence silently in his heart, a dark glint flashed across the depths of his eyes, and the corners of his lips suddenly could not help but curl up slightly.

The paint from last time was cleaned off in just a few days.

It seems he still needs to think of another way... to make her have no choice but to ride in his car for a period of time.

With no way to avoid him at all.
