Chapter 265: I Want to Build a Castle for Her

~7 min read 1,254 words

"Can we go now?"

Seeing that Jiang Baobao had not spoken for a long time, Li Beijue could not help but let a trace of a smile flash across his eyes as he suddenly asked.

Jiang Baobao snapped back to reality and subconsciously nodded.

Only then did she realize what she seemed to have just agreed to.

Damn!

Why did she nod!

Sure enough, whenever it involved matters concerning Mobai and Yanbao, her IQ was instantly cut in half!

As she thought this, Jiang Baobao spoke up to confirm: "To prevent you from going back on your word, we need to sign a contract for what you just said."

"Fine." Li Beijue nodded in agreement and said unhurriedly: "I can have someone draft the contract immediately and send it to me, but right now... if we don't set off, we won't make it in time."

"Alright then..." Since things had reached this point, Jiang Baobao had no choice but to nod in agreement, following behind Li Beijue as they boarded the plane together.

Even after sitting in her seat, she still hadn't quite processed it.

Had she really just agreed to go with Li Beijue like this?

But as long as it could truly ease the situation regarding Mobai's custody, it would be worth it...

As Jiang Baobao thought this, she could not help but nod slightly, looking clearly preoccupied.

Li Beijue took in her expression, and for a moment, he could not help but shake his head inwardly with amusement.

Let those two little ones choose who they want to follow?

That day would never come.

Before that, he would win the woman before him back!

"Whirrr—!"

The sound of the helicopter rotors suddenly rang out, successfully pulling back Jiang Baobao's thoughts.

She snapped back to reality and subconsciously looked out the window, only then seeing that the plane had already left the ground and gained some distance; looking out, she could see the scenery of the entire city.

"After we arrive there later, it should be evening. You won't need to adjust for jet lag; you can just rest directly after dinner."

Li Beijue suddenly spoke up.

Jiang Baobao was stunned for a moment, then nodded casually to indicate she had heard him.

Then, suddenly thinking of something, she hurriedly asked: "By the way, since they once attended our... wedding, is there anything I need to be careful about?"

"No need." Li Beijue shook his head, the corners of his lips unable to help but curl into a smile, and explained: "They only remember your appearance, but they don't know you personally, so don't be nervous; just relax."

"Oh..." Jiang Baobao nodded and didn't ask anything more, though she couldn't help but mutter to herself inwardly.

Why is Li Beijue... talking so much today?

How could he have the patience to explain things to her in such detail?

But... he was willing to agree to her conditions for the sake of this cooperation, so it didn't seem that strange for him to be like this now...

Jiang Baobao nodded inwardly, relaxed in her seat, and turned to admire the scenery outside the window.

The helicopter's speed was much faster than a regular plane, and after only a few hours, Jiang Baobao saw the edge of the island appear before her eyes.

It was already quite late, and she could only see the calm sea surface and the faint, scattered lights lit up on the island.

"Mr. Li, we are preparing to land. There might be some turbulence, please sit tight, you and your wife."

The pilot, who had been silent the whole way, suddenly spoke up. As soon as he finished speaking, the plane steadily approached the area on the island specifically designated for landing.

Watching the lights on the island grow larger bit by bit before her eyes, Jiang Baobao could not help but widen her eyes in surprise.

She saw that it was not an ordinary seaside cabin or villa, but a castle that looked extremely magnificent and ornate!

"That castle..." Jiang Baobao was stunned, unable to help but speak in a low voice, yet she could not find any adjectives to express the shock in her heart at that moment.

"That castle was built by Mr. Wilson specifically for his wife, just so they could come here for vacation at this time every year."

Seeing that she seemed very interested, Li Beijue hurriedly explained.

Jiang Baobao nodded in sudden realization, her face showing undisguised surprise.

What kind of man who loved his wife so deeply would build an entire castle here just for her?

Their relationship must be very enviable...

Jiang Baobao's gaze flickered for a moment, and a trace of envy that even she herself hadn't noticed flashed quickly across her eyes.

Li Beijue, however, took in her little emotions at this moment.

She likes castles?

If that's the case...

Li Beijue narrowed his eyes slightly, quickly pondering in his mind which island in the world currently did not belong to anyone.

The plane landed slowly on the ground.

Jiang Baobao unbuckled her seatbelt, stretched her limbs, and then stood up from her seat.

The cabin door opened slowly, and Jiang Baobao followed behind Li Beijue, intending to walk out.

But before she could even reach the door, she saw the person in front of her suddenly stop.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Baobao asked subconsciously.

Li Beijue did not speak, but calmly extended his right arm.

"Your arm? Is there a problem?" Jiang Baobao was stunned for a moment, not reacting for a second.

Li Beijue felt a bit helpless.

He really wanted to know why this woman, Jiang Baobao, was sometimes overly sensitive and other times infuriatingly dull?

Li Beijue shook his head inwardly and simply said nothing, directly pulling Jiang Baobao's hand and hooking it onto his arm.

Jiang Baobao's expression stiffened, and only then did she realize something.

Oh right...

Her task was to play the role of a "loving" couple with Li Beijue, so of course she had to link arms with him as they went out...

"I'm sorry, I will pay attention to that later."

Jiang Baobao said in a low voice, and the hand she had linked through Li Beijue's arm tightened a little.

A trace of a smile flashed in Li Beijue's eyes, and only then did he lead Jiang Baobao down together.

The two of them had just appeared at the cabin door when Jiang Baobao heard a "bang!"

She was startled, and when she came to her senses, she saw all kinds of colorful ribbons fluttering down before her eyes.

"How is it, Jue? Are you satisfied with our welcome ceremony?"

The voice of a somewhat elderly middle-aged man rang out, instantly attracting Jiang Baobao's attention.

She turned her head to look and saw a casually dressed foreign man standing to one side, holding a gracefully dressed woman who was laughing happily.

"Wilson..." Li Beijue shook his head helplessly and pulled Jiang Baobao down.

"Jue! You look much more mature than you did when you got married six years ago!"

Wilson took the initiative to step forward and pat Li Beijue on the shoulder.

Then, without waiting for him to answer, he smiled and looked at Jiang Baobao, saying loudly, "I think all these changes of yours must be attributed to your wife; after all, a good marriage can make a person grow!"

Jiang Baobao: "..."

She suddenly seemed to understand why Li Beijue had insisted on bringing her along...
