Chapter 269: The Secret to Keeping Love Fresh

Early the next morning—

"Ah!!!"

A loud scream came from the bedroom.

Following that was a "thud," as if some heavy object had fallen to the floor!

Jiang Baobao sat on the floor clutching her forehead, looking at Li Beijue, who was sitting on the bed, with a look of agony and a head full of morning grumpiness.

"Didn't we agree on one side each! Why were you so close to me! Why were you hugging me!"

Jiang Baobao really couldn't hold back her temper and roared at Li Beijue.

What kind of problem does Li Beijue have?

It was the same last time he was drunk, holding onto her and refusing to let go!

He's such a grown man, could it be that he needs a fixed body pillow every night when he sleeps!

Thinking of the "fright" she received the moment she opened her eyes, Jiang Baobao glared speechlessly at the person in front of her, wishing she could buy a plane ticket home right now.

Li Beijue hadn't expected her to have such a big reaction the moment she woke up, and for a moment he felt a bit helpless, so he had to explain: "I don't know what happened last night either..."

He spoke with a straight face, his expression candid, as if it really was an accident last night that he had somehow ended up on Jiang Baobao's side.

Jiang Baobao took a deep breath, grabbed the pillow that had fallen on the floor, and threw it back onto the bed.

"What a foul habit... Mobai and Yanbao would never be like you..."

She muttered under her breath, rubbing the forehead she had just bumped against the cabinet as she stood up, still feeling quite annoyed.

She had been sleeping so soundly... and the moment she opened her eyes, she suddenly saw someone's magnified face!

It's a good thing she didn't have a heart condition!

Forget it, anger is the devil!

She couldn't be bothered to be angry with this guy!

Jiang Baobao complained in her heart like a machine gun, sitting on the edge of the bed in a huff; all her sleepiness had vanished, but the expression on her face was still murderous.

"Ahem..."

Li Beijue gave a light cough, suddenly feeling that the person in front of him looked somewhat... cute in this state.

A hint of a smile flashed in his eyes, and seeing Jiang Baobao still clutching her forehead, he hurriedly spoke up: "Does your head hurt a lot? Do you need..."

"No need." Jiang Baobao seemed to know what he was going to say and interrupted him coldly, her attitude slightly better than before, as if she had recovered from the shock.

Li Beijue nodded, tactfully saying nothing more, and turned to get off the bed to grab his suit.

Then he stared at Jiang Baobao and said: "You rest a bit more. I'll go to another room to wash up, then head out to the company with Wilson. I probably won't be back until the banquet. If you need anything, you can go directly to Anna."

"Okay..." Jiang Baobao responded subconsciously, unable to help but take a few extra looks at Li Beijue.

This guy actually has times when he gives so many instructions...

Is it probably because they are staying at someone else's house now, and he's afraid she'll cause trouble for him?

Jiang Baobao nodded, watching Li Beijue leave, and only then did she relax and lie back down on the bed.

After napping for a little while longer and seeing the sun hanging high in the sky, she finally climbed out of bed.

She tidied up a bit, intending to ask Anna if she could walk around the castle.

But just as she opened the door, she saw a maid who had been standing at the entrance, though she didn't know how long she had been there.

"Good morning, Mrs. Li. Our mistress said that after you wake up, you can go directly to the garden to find her. We have already prepared a sumptuous breakfast."

"Okay, thank you." Jiang Baobao smiled and headed toward the garden she had seen yesterday.

Immediately after crossing the long corridor, she revealed a look of surprise.

The sky had been too dark last night, and she could only roughly see that it was a very large garden.

But now she could see clearly that everything here had been meticulously arranged.

A huge European-style fountain stood in the center, and all around were tiny flowers of various colors, embellishing the area.

Further away were various types of flowers categorized by species, as well as a Pavilion and swings specifically for resting; it was just like a fairy tale world.

"Lisa! Over here!"

Anna sat on a white carved chair, waving at Jiang Baobao from afar.

Hearing this, Jiang Baobao hurriedly walked over with quick steps.

Only when she got closer did she see that the table in front of Anna was already filled with all kinds of breakfast items.

Besides Western-style food, there were actually authentic steamed buns and a few side dishes.

"I didn't know if you were used to the flavors here, so I had someone prepare some Chinese-style breakfast..."

As Anna spoke, she thoughtfully placed the food in front of Jiang Baobao.

"Thank you, these are all things I like to eat." Jiang Baobao was somewhat surprised and moved, thanking Anna.

Immediately after, she heard her ask in a gossipy tone: "How is it? Did you sleep well last night? Did you find the feeling of being newlyweds?"

"Pfft—cough, cough, cough..."

Jiang Baobao choked violently; the mouthful of hot black tea she had just taken nearly made her gag, and she began to cough frantically.

Anna was startled and hurriedly reached out to pat Jiang Baobao's back gently, apologizing: "Sorry dear, I shouldn't have asked so directly, after all, you are so shy..."

"Cough, cough... it's fine..." Jiang Baobao waved her hand, feeling that she had bitter words she couldn't speak.

She really had thought this trip would be too simple!

Even after living abroad for so many years, she really still couldn't get used to their boldness!

Jiang Baobao thought to herself while cautiously placing her cup back on the table, afraid that Anna would ask another question that would catch her off guard.

"Dear, are you okay now?" Anna asked cautiously, seeing Jiang Baobao's complexion recover slightly.

"I'm fine." Jiang Baobao waved her hand with lingering fear and smiled at Anna.

Only then did Anna heave a sigh of relief, though her eyes couldn't help but land on Jiang Baobao with a look of appraisal.

Beijue said that the two of them had already been divorced for many years, and that they had also had many conflicts before...

She had thought that this Miss Jiang would find an excuse to stay in separate rooms after seeing that room yesterday...

But looking at it now, the relationship between the two of them seems to be much better than she had imagined?

Anna's eyes were somewhat inquisitive; she pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked, "By the way, dear, I heard from Beijue that your relationship has always been very good. Could you share with me the secret to keeping your love fresh?"

"Huh?" Jiang Baobao was stunned upon hearing this, her mind going blank for a moment.

Li Beijue told others that his relationship with her is very good?

Does he really not even need to draft his lies before telling them!

Is he not afraid that if she gets unhappy, she will directly expose him?

Jiang Baobao shook her head inwardly with some amusement, but looking at Anna's expectant expression, she felt a bit troubled.

Although she had been married to Li Beijue, if she had to be honest, she had never even been in a proper relationship in her entire life!

Let alone knowing any secret to keeping love fresh!
