Chapter 270: Li Beijue's Merits

Jiang Baobao only felt a headache coming on, staring longingly at the table in front of her, wishing she could bore a hole into it, yet she couldn't think of how to answer Anna.

Seeing this, Anna hurriedly offered Jiang Baobao a way out, taking the initiative to say, "My dear, it's just the two of us here, you don't have to be shy. Look at Wilson and me; perhaps you think we are very over-the-top, but we have been this way for so many years. He has always taken great care of me, and no matter the occasion, he never hides his concern for me."

As Anna spoke, a happy smile could not help but appear on her face.

Jiang Baobao then followed suit, nodding in praise: "Yes, the relationship between the two of you is truly enviable..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she saw Anna suddenly looking at her with curiosity, asking: "By the way, come to think of it, I have always been curious, how are you able to get along with a personality like Beijue's? Although in the eyes of outsiders he is powerful and cold, I believe that in your eyes, he must have his own unique merits, right?"

Anna was quietly guiding Jiang Baobao to answer her question.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Baobao was indeed stunned for a moment, subconsciously beginning to think.

Li Beijue's merits?

This question... she felt she had never thought about it before...

"He..." Jiang Baobao opened her mouth, pondering what she should say.

After a two-second pause, she slowly said: "Although he looks cold, sometimes he is very attentive and knows how to take care of people..."

In Jiang Baobao's mind, the scene from the last time at the swimming pool, where Li Beijue helped her catch a pervert, suddenly surfaced, and a smile could not help but appear on her face.

"Oh? It seems you've thought of something sweet?" Anna did not miss the expression on Jiang Baobao's face and asked teasingly.

Jiang Baobao came back to her senses and hurriedly shook her head, then continued: "Although he seems very powerful, occasionally he will get jealous because the children ignore him, which is a side of him the outside world would never imagine."

Jiang Baobao remembered the expression on Li Beijue's face when those little ones collectively ignored him, and the smile on her face immediately grew heavier.

"Is that so? That is truly surprising!" Anna could not help but laugh upon hearing this, suddenly asking: "I haven't met your little cutie yet, but I guess he must be a lively and adorable little boy!"

"Yes, he is indeed smart and cute." Jiang Baobao nodded with a smile, knowing that Anna did not know about the existence of Mobai and Tiantian, so she did not say too much.

The two chatted about some other random topics, and then Anna stood up and invited Jiang Baobao to join her in touring the garden here.

"We are holding a banquet here tonight. After we have lunch in a while, I will have people set it up. Is there anything special you would like to eat? I can have someone tell the chef to add it to tonight's menu..."

Anna liked Jiang Baobao very much; while affectionately linking her arm, she began to introduce things.

Jiang Baobao was somewhat flattered and hurriedly shook her head: "Anything is fine. The castle chef's skills are truly excellent. Whether it was last night's dinner or today's breakfast, I liked them very much."

"That's good, I was worried you wouldn't be used to the food..." Anna felt more at ease, but the next second, she suddenly looked at Jiang Baobao with a surprised expression: "Oh! My God! My dear! It seems you don't have a suitable gown for tonight's banquet! I actually forgot such an important thing!"

Jiang Baobao was taken aback. Once she mentioned it, she realized that she indeed hadn't brought a single piece of clothing suitable for attending a banquet.

"This... I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you..." Jiang Baobao smiled at Anna with some embarrassment.

"No problem, just leave it to me. I guarantee you'll attract everyone's attention tonight!"

As Anna spoke, she excitedly pulled Jiang Baobao and walked quickly toward the castle.

Not long after, she had the servants push over two rows of dress racks!

"My dear, these are all new styles sent over a while ago by designers Wilson knows. Whichever one you like, feel free to try it on! It's yours!" Anna generously pulled Jiang Baobao toward the two rows of spectacular long dresses, signaling for Jiang Baobao to pick whatever she wanted.

Jiang Baobao couldn't help but shake her head with amusement in her heart, and then she began to choose carefully.

Since the hosts of the banquet tonight were the Wilsons, she naturally couldn't steal the spotlight...

Jiang Baobao thought as she looked at the dresses one by one, wanting to find one that was relatively simpler.

But looking through all the dresses, every single one was sparkly, inlaid with various styles of diamonds and decorations, and most of the styles were medieval-style long dresses with large skirts, looking exactly like the outfits of princesses in fairy tales.

"Is there nothing you like?" Seeing that Jiang Baobao hadn't made a move for a long time, Anna asked considerately.

Jiang Baobao hurriedly waved her hands and explained: "It's not that, I just... have never worn a dress like this before..."

"Oh! Is that so? Believe me, you will fall in love with this style! No woman can refuse to be a princess!" As Anna spoke, she took down a sky-blue long dress and held it up against Jiang Baobao.

Immediately after, she couldn't help but praise: "This dress matches you perfectly! Your skin is fair, it's most suitable for this color! Do you want to try it on?"

"Okay." Jiang Baobao nodded with a smile, feeling that these dresses were all very beautiful, so she took the dress and turned back to her room.

Not long after, she changed into the dress and walked out.

"Wow... my taste is truly excellent! I knew that once you put on this dress, you would definitely be the most beautiful woman in the world!"

As soon as Anna saw Jiang Baobao, she couldn't help but show a surprised expression, taking the initiative to step forward and straighten the hem of her dress.

Jiang Baobao was a bit embarrassed by her compliments and hurriedly said politely: "Anna, you are exaggerating too much..."

"This is not an exaggeration at all, my dear. You don't know how much I envy the petite figure of Eastern women..."

Jiang Baobao smiled, looked down at herself, and for a moment felt a bit of novelty.

She was always telling princess stories to a certain little girl; she never expected that today she would actually have a day where she wore a princess dress...

If Tiantian, that little girl, saw this dress, she would probably be incredibly envious, right?

Evening—

Night was gradually falling.

On the boundless sea, it was calm without a single ripple.

The castle garden was brightly lit and had already become lively.

Outside the gate—

A black car approached from afar, speeding along the straight road toward the castle.

Li Beijue sat in the car, looking at the castle that was getting closer and closer, wondering what he was thinking about.

Immediately after, he heard Wilson tease: "Hey, Beijue, why so quiet? Are you thinking about your wife?"

Li Beijue raised an eyebrow, and before he could speak, he heard Wilson continue: "I can guarantee you, she will definitely give you a surprise tonight!"
