Chapter 24: Li Beijue, I Don't Think Much of You Anymore

Jiang Baobao was very happy: "I will come to find you tomorrow. I hope President Li keeps his word and does what he says!"

After saying this, she turned and left without the slightest hesitation.

Jiang Baobao staggered away from the Main Hall alone.

Just as she walked out of the main gate, she couldn't help but shiver instantly.

Her head was splitting with pain.

"Ugh..."

She muttered softly, subconsciously clutching her stomach with her hand, her footsteps feeling somewhat unsteady.

Damn it!

She regretted it a little; she shouldn't have drunk so much just to mess with Li Beijue.

This banquet venue was in a remote location, and apart from passing private cars, there wasn't a single taxi to be seen.

Jiang Baobao walked aimlessly along the road for a long while, finally unable to endure the burning sensation churning in her stomach any longer, and sat down on the side regardless of her image.

Her gaze was somewhat vacant, staring aimlessly ahead.

Li Beijue's face kept flickering in her mind, making her feel somewhat irritable.

"Go away!"

Jiang Baobao suddenly raised her hand and waved it in front of her, as if to drive away the Li Beijue who didn't exist there at all.

The next second, a shadow blocked her path.

"Beauty, why are you sitting here all alone dressed so beautifully in the middle of the night? Did you get dumped?"

The greasy voice of a strange man came from overhead, causing Jiang Baobao to lift her head in a daze.

She looked at the lecherous-looking middle-aged man in front of her and let out a cold snort of disdain from her nose.

"Get lost, you can't afford to mess with... me!"

Jiang Baobao was in a bad mood and retorted with a single sentence.

Upon hearing this, the man's face dropped instantly.

"Damn it, what's a dumped bitch acting so tough for!"

He was convinced that Jiang Baobao had drunk like this because she had been dumped by a man, and as he spoke, he actually grabbed her wrist!

Then he smiled lecherously: "I'll take you to have some fun, I guarantee you'll forget him..."

"Let go!!!" Jiang Baobao tried hard to break free, but because she had drunk too much, her body felt soft and weak, unable to muster any strength, and her vision was swaying from side to side.

The man's expression became even more smug: "Hmph, it's your lucky day to meet me, I will definitely... Ouch!"

Before he could finish his sentence, his entire body flew straight out and landed in a heap on the side of the road!

Out of the corner of her eye, Jiang Baobao saw a tall, upright figure standing beside her.

She blinked her eyes, unable to process what was happening for a moment.

Li Beijue radiated an aura that seemed capable of freezing people, his eyes slicing through the man on the ground.

"Get lost!!!"

He spat out the word from his throat in a low voice.

The man on the ground immediately glared back in defiance.

But when he met Li Beijue's gaze, he couldn't help but tremble all over, immediately scrambling up in a panic and running far away.

Li Beijue snorted coldly and turned to look at Jiang Baobao behind him.

Only then did he discover that her eyes were vacant and she was quite drunk.

This stupid woman, wasn't she very fierce in the banquet hall just now?

Wasn't she going against him?

Did she not know that it was dangerous to wander the streets in the middle of the night dressed like this?

Li Beijue took a deep breath, the anger building in his chest vaguely threatening to erupt.

Too lazy to say more, he simply asked directly: "Where do you live? I'll have someone send you back."

Jiang Baobao did not speak.

Wisps of awkwardness drifted through the air.

Li Beijue's expression also became somewhat unnatural.

Was he crazy?

Why did he care whether this woman lived or died?

As he thought this, he suddenly saw Jiang Baobao in front of him make a move.

He saw her suddenly raise her hand and strike directly at Li Beijue's body!

Li Beijue grabbed her wrist with quick reflexes, a flicker of irritation instantly appearing on his face.

"Jiang Baobao, tell me your address. If you want to throw a drunken tantrum, go back and throw it!"

He warned her in a low voice, his patience reaching its limit.

Jiang Baobao trembled all over and suddenly looked up to examine the man in front of her seriously.

Then, as if she had recognized him, she immediately said loudly: "You! You dog of a man! Stop... pretending to be kind here!"

She spoke in broken sentences, still drunk, but her voice was surprisingly loud, shaking Li Beijue so much that he couldn't help but frown, his brows and eyes tinged with a hint of ferocity.

She dared to call him a dog of a man?

The strength in Li Beijue's hand tightened suddenly.

Jiang Baobao's small face crumpled in pain, yet she stubbornly refused to cry out.

Instead, fueled by her seven-tenths of drunkenness, she continued to shout at Li Beijue.

"You... who told you to meddle in other people's business? Don't you... hate me very much? Don't you... never care about me? I used to be... so good to you! You... were... kidnapped... I... even..."

She accused him loudly, but the more she spoke, the quieter her voice became.

Li Beijue only heard the first few words clearly; he did not hear the rest.

He could not help but knit his brows tightly.

This woman, who used to pester him every day like a tagalong, called that being good to him?

He took a deep breath, trying hard to convince himself not to argue with a drunkard.

Jiang Baobao also fell silent, her thoughts drifting back sixteen years...

Li Beijue is just an ungrateful big jerk!

Bastard!

If she had known back then, she wouldn't have saved him!

She should have let him fend for himself!

Jiang Baobao stood there in a daze, and Li Beijue's patience finally ran out.

Seeing that she had no intention of leaving, he decided to drag her away by force.

Just as he applied force to his hand, he felt Jiang Baobao suddenly struggle violently.

Her gaze was fixed straight on Li Beijue, her expression filled with confusion.

Then she suddenly asked, "Where... do you want to take me? And... why are you... following me?"

Her tone was no longer as noisy as before; instead, it was very calm, as if she were truly puzzled by this question.

Upon hearing this, Li Beijue stiffened, unable to answer for a moment.

He did not know himself why he had followed her.

He only knew that when he saw her leaving alone, he had followed her immediately.

Then he walked further and further, until she encountered the hooligans from earlier.

Watching her being pulled away by someone, he had been so furious he nearly lost his mind, rushing out to intervene without even thinking!

The more Li Beijue thought about it, the colder his expression became; he could not find a suitable reason to explain his series of actions just now.

Jiang Baobao suddenly laughed out loud.

The small dimples on her face appeared and disappeared, and like a little fox, she suddenly stood on tiptoe and leaned in closer.

She even fearlessly draped her arm over Li Beijue's shoulder.

"Li Beijue... you're following me like this... do you still have some ideas about your dear ex-wife?"

Jiang Baobao's red, tender lips opened and closed, releasing waves of wine fragrance, her tone carrying a hint of provocation.

A loud buzzing sound rang in Li Beijue's mind, and a certain string inside him instantly tightened.

He took a sharp step back, shook off Jiang Baobao's hand from his shoulder, and let out a disdainful scoff.

"Jiang Baobao, there should be a limit to your dreaming; you had better sober up!"

What a joke, how could he have any ideas about a woman like this!

Ever since she abandoned Yanbao five years ago, he had hated her to the core!

Jiang Baobao stumbled from being shoved, barely managing to stand steady, but she was not angry.

Instead, she looked at Li Beijue with a grin, laughing until she was out of breath.

"Hahaha... Li Beijue... you... you are just too funny! Do you know how many people... are chasing me now?"

She let out a wine-induced hiccup, suddenly reined in her smile, and her expression became much more serious, her eyes filled with a trace of disdain as she looked at Li Beijue.

"I stopped fancying you a long time ago, so you... stop being so conceited!"

Jiang Baobao's voice grew louder as she spoke, as if she were declaring something.

No sooner had she finished speaking than someone grabbed her chin in a fierce grip!!!
