Chapter 266: The Perfect Model Couple

~7 min read 1,293 words

The atmosphere suddenly went quiet for a moment.

Li Beijue exchanged a look with Wilson without changing his expression, his eyes filled with helplessness.

Jiang Baobao smiled at the two of them, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Mrs. Wilson's gaze circled between the two of them, and she hurriedly smoothed things over, saying, "Let's go rest first. Dinner is already prepared, and I'm sure you must be hungry! We have premium caviar to taste tonight; I guarantee you will love it!"

As she spoke, she made an inviting gesture.

Li Beijue nodded and led Jiang Baobao toward the castle.

Standing at the castle entrance, Jiang Baobao finally realized just how large this castle truly was.

Mrs. Wilson was very warm; as soon as they entered, she took the initiative to link arms with Jiang Baobao and introduced herself: "My dear, welcome to be our guest here. When I attended your and Beijue's wedding, I really wanted to get to know you, but unfortunately, our schedule was too tight back then, and we only managed to see the ceremony before rushing off... Oh, that's right, you can just call me Anna; it feels more intimate that way."

Mrs. Wilson was very talkative, rattling off a whole string of words as soon as she started.

Jiang Baobao nodded repeatedly as she listened, and only after the other woman finished did she finally find an opportunity to reply: "Alright, Anna. Thank you and Mr. Wilson for your hospitality. You can also call me by my name; I'm Lisa."

Jiang Baobao gave her commonly used English name, and as the two of them talked, they arrived at the castle's dining room.

The dining table was already filled with delicacies, and as soon as she entered, Jiang Baobao smelled the aroma of the food.

"Sir, Madam, you have returned just in time. The fresh roast chicken is ready; shall I serve it now?"

A white-bearded butler walked over with a beaming smile to ask, then bowed slightly to Li Beijue and Jiang Baobao to greet them.

Jiang Baobao smiled, her eyes scanning the surrounding environment calmly, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder inside.

This castle was just too beautiful, both inside and out!

She should have let those little ones come to see it too; they would definitely love it!

It was indeed a bit of a pity they didn't come this time...

Thinking this, Jiang Baobao followed Li Beijue to the dining table and sat down.

"Beijue, you and Lisa don't need to be formal. Tonight we are just chatting casually; if there is any work, we can talk about it tomorrow."

Wilson took the lead in raising his wine glass and gently tapped it against Li Beijue's glass.

Li Beijue nodded, and for once, he also relaxed.

Jiang Baobao, however, did not dare to relax at all, sitting upright in her chair.

Immediately after, she saw the butler bring over two giant lobsters.

The lobsters had already been prepared and cut in half down the middle.

The lobster meat was covered with a thin layer of cheese and various spices, emitting an alluring fragrance that instantly attracted everyone's attention.

"Oh! The castle chef's culinary skills have been getting more and more exquisite lately! My dear, if you like seafood, you will definitely love this dish!"

As Anna spoke, she placed one of the lobster portions in front of Jiang Baobao.

"Thank you," Jiang Baobao said with a smile. Just as she was about to pick up her fork, the next second, she saw Wilson place the other portion in front of himself.

He also said loudly: "Oh baby, your delicate little hands aren't suited for such rough food. If you accidentally prick your finger, I'll be heartbroken!"

As Wilson spoke, he quickly used a table knife to cleanly remove the lobster meat and placed it on Anna's plate.

Jiang Baobao's hand holding the fork froze in place.

This... although she had long known that the two of them were very loving, wasn't this a bit too exaggerated?

This was the first time Jiang Baobao had been fed "dog food" like this, and her mood felt somewhat complicated.

Immediately after, she saw a pair of hands suddenly appear in front of her.

"No..." Jiang Baobao subconsciously wanted to refuse.

But thinking of Wilson's actions just now, she had to swallow the words on the tip of her tongue, watching helplessly as Li Beijue also finished preparing the lobster meat for her and placed it on her plate.

"Hahaha! Beijue, it really is different once you're married; this is how it should be!" Mr. Wilson laughed with satisfaction.

Li Beijue curled his lips faintly and said nothing.

Jiang Baobao, however, inexplicably felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.

Could it be that the entire dinner was going to be like this?

Wilson and Anna were truly in love, so there was no issue with them doing such things.

But for her and Li Beijue...

Jiang Baobao's gaze flickered for a moment; besides helplessness, there was also a sense of discomfort at being cared for in such a way.

As she thought this, the fork in her hand couldn't help but tremble slightly.

The tiny spices on the lobster meat immediately scattered onto the table.

"Be careful, don't get it on your clothes."

Li Beijue pulled a handkerchief from his pocket almost immediately and carefully cleaned the spices from in front of Jiang Baobao.

Jiang Baobao's expression stiffened again, and she instantly felt it was even more surreal.

Li Beijue really was a good actor!

If this continued, even she would almost believe that he was actually a gentle and attentive person at heart!

"Lisa? What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?"

Anna's voice suddenly rang out, pulling Jiang Baobao back to her senses.

Jiang Baobao hurriedly shook her head, and just as she was about to speak, she heard Li Beijue beside her say in English: "She must be shy."

"Is that so? Hahahaha, there's nothing to be shy about! Being good to your wife is only natural! Lisa, you've been married for so many years, haven't you gotten used to it yet?"

Anna and Wilson teased with a laugh.

Jiang Baobao: "..."

They had been divorced for so many years, that was what was different!

Also, what did he mean by she was shy?

Li Beijue must have done that on purpose!

Jiang Baobao rolled her eyes in her heart, speechless, and had no choice but to pretend to be embarrassed as she smiled at the two of them, solidifying the word "shy."

Then, for the entire meal, she enjoyed the "meticulous" care of Li Beijue.

Once dinner ended, thinking that she could finally return to her room to rest, she let out a heavy sigh of relief.

Immediately after, she heard Anna speak: "You will definitely be very satisfied with tonight's room. Knowing you were coming, I specifically had people decorate it; I wanted to give you a surprise!"

Anna's expression looked somewhat excited, as if she were incredibly satisfied with the room she was about to show the two of them.

Jiang Baobao's heart skipped a beat, however, and a flash of annoyance crossed her eyes.

How could she have forgotten about this!

Since they were supposed to be pretending to be a married couple, they would definitely have to sleep together!

But...

Jiang Baobao's fingers gripped her palms tightly, trying her best not to let any strange expression show, while her brain spun rapidly.

Being in the same room was definitely unavoidable...

Since that was the case, then they would sleep separately!

Even if she had to sleep on the floor, that would be fine!
