Chapter 271: I Am His Wife

Inside the castle—

Jiang Baobao stood before the window, looking at the garden that had already been decorated downstairs, and suddenly felt a bit nervous.

This trip to the island was truly too rushed... she hadn't even made any preparations...

She didn't even know what she was supposed to do at the banquet in a little while...

Jiang Baobao raised an eyebrow, her mind in a chaotic jumble of random thoughts, when she suddenly heard a knock on the door behind her.

"Darling, are you ready? Wilson and the others are already at the door, we can go down now."

Anna's voice rang out from outside the door, pulling back Jiang Baobao's train of thought.

"OK, I'm ready!" Jiang Baobao answered aloud, then turned and walked toward the door.

"Oh... perfect! Let's go, we should head downstairs to welcome your most beloved man!"

Anna had lost count of how many times she had complimented Jiang Baobao today; as she spoke, she pulled her along toward the stairs.

Downstairs—

As soon as Li Beijue and Wilson arrived in the garden, they immediately attracted the attention of the crowd, and almost everyone walked over to greet the two of them.

"Wilson, aren't you going to introduce this handsome Eastern hunk to us?"

As soon as a few women arrived, they crowded around Li Beijue, teasingly asking Wilson.

Wilson hurriedly waved his hands and explained with a smile: "You'd better not set your sights on him; he's already married, and he's very much in love with his wife!"

"Is that so? That's such a pity. Why do all the handsome men nowadays choose to get married so early?"

The women sighed helplessly, looking at Li Beijue with quite a bit of regret, but they didn't leave; instead, they raised their glasses and continued with a smile: "Then, can we have a drink with this handsome man?"

"Of course." Li Beijue had no expression on his face, but for the sake of Wilson, he did not refuse; he casually picked up a glass from the side and clinked it lightly against the woman's in front of him.

The next second, a small gasp was heard from the crowd ahead.

"Oh! Anna! You look so beautiful today!"

"Who is this beauty beside you? Is she from the East?"

Jiang Baobao hadn't expected that her and Anna's appearance would cause such a stir; she couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time, and hurriedly gave a friendly smile to the people around her.

Immediately after, she felt two gazes looking straight in her direction.

Jiang Baobao looked over subconsciously, and then crashed into a pair of deep, bottomless eyes.

Jiang Baobao couldn't help but freeze for a moment, unable to read the emotions in the depths of the other's eyes for a time.

Then she suddenly felt herself being nudged gently by Anna beside her.

"Let's go, let's go find them!" As she said this, she winked at Jiang Baobao and pulled her toward the direction of Li Beijue and Wilson.

Li Beijue watched Jiang Baobao approaching him step by step, his eyes filled with amazement.

She was truly too beautiful today.

The blue long dress made her skin appear even fairer.

Her originally straight hair had also been styled into small curls, making her look younger and cute.

It was as if she were truly a princess who had walked out of a fairy tale; one could not tell at all that she was already a mother of three children.

"Ahem, although I know your wife is very beautiful, but... Jue, shouldn't you restrain yourself a little?"

Wilson took in Li Beijue's expression, couldn't help but lean into his ear, and teased him with a smile.

Li Beijue then snapped back to his senses, a hint of helpless amusement flashing in his eyes.

While the two were talking, Anna and Jiang Baobao had already reached them.

"Good evening, Jue, did work go smoothly today?" Anna asked with a smile.

Li Beijue nodded and replied in a low voice: "Yes, everything went smoothly."

After speaking, his gaze subconsciously fell on Jiang Baobao again.

Jiang Baobao's eyes flickered for a moment; for some reason, she suddenly felt flustered being looked at like that.

Li Beijue's gaze was just too...

She pursed her lips, unable to find the right words to describe Li Beijue's gaze for a moment.

Feeling dissatisfied with her inexplicable urge to run away, she felt a bit annoyed in her heart, so she simply stared right back at him!

Let him keep staring at her!

She would look too!

Jiang Baobao thought to herself, deliberately staring at Li Beijue without blinking.

Then she heard a strange woman nearby suddenly say: "Miss, this handsome Eastern hunk already has a wife, and they are said to be very loving. You'd better not keep staring at him like that..."

The woman speaking was the same one who had taken the initiative to chat up Li Beijue just now; her tone didn't have much malice, just a hint of teasing and the flavor of watching a show.

Jiang Baobao was stunned upon hearing this, and couldn't help but laugh and cry in her heart.

Truly worthy of being Li Beijue...

No matter where he was, he could attract women who fell in love with him at first sight.

And now, she was even "reminding" her out of the kindness of her heart?

Jiang Baobao raised an eyebrow slightly; upon hearing this, not only did she not look away, but she calmly stepped forward and took Li Beijue's arm.

Then she said faintly: "Thank you for the reminder, but... I am his wife."

As soon as these words were spoken, the others around them couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The woman who had just spoken also had a flash of embarrassment on her face; she had no choice but to shrug helplessly and say nothing more.

Li Beijue was in a great mood; looking at the person beside him, he couldn't help but have a hint of a smile flash in his eyes.

Was she... jealous?

A bold possibility flashed through his mind, but then he very self-knowingly dismissed the answer.

Given someone's wooden reaction time, jealousy was clearly impossible.

Just as Li Beijue was thinking this, he suddenly felt Wilson beside him give him a light tug.

Immediately after, he said loudly, "Friends! The dance is about to begin, I hope everyone has a good time here tonight!"

The guests tonight were all friends of Wilson and Anna; as soon as his voice fell, a lively response erupted from the crowd.

Jiang Baobao was standing quietly beside Li Beijue when she suddenly felt the person beside her lean over and move slightly closer in her direction.

Then, the man's low, magnetic voice sounded in her ear.

"Would you like to dance with me in a while?" As Li Beijue spoke, a small puff of warm air sprayed entirely against Jiang Baobao's ear, making her shoulders shrink back uncontrollably.

Jiang Baobao tilted her head subconsciously, a look of discomfort flashing across her face.

Wilson and Anna both said that she and Li Beijue had a very good relationship; it seemed that dancing was something she could not escape...

Jiang Baobao thought to herself, and only then did she nod lightly, effectively agreeing to it.

Li Beijue's eyes flickered for an instant, and he couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips slightly, in a very good mood.

Dancing... was a very good opportunity to bring two people closer together...
