Chapter 283: Li Beijue Likes Her
"Satisfied!"
The three little ones suddenly said in unison, loudly.
Jiang Baobao snapped back to her senses, looking at the three little ancestors in the room, feeling both amused and exasperated.
She hadn't even spoken yet, so why did they answer on their own?
But this room... really was nothing to complain about.
It was almost on par with the luxury of Li Beijue's master bedroom...
While thinking this, Jiang Baobao hurriedly replied, "This room is very good, thank you for the trouble..."
"It's no trouble." Li Beijue replied in a low voice, unhurriedly walking around from behind Jiang Baobao to carefully examine the room before him, unable to help but nod in satisfaction to himself.
Zheng Bo's work was truly reassuring...
"Mommy! Now you're staying in a big room just like us! Do you feel very happy?"
Mobai suddenly asked loudly.
"Of course." Jiang Baobao replied with a smile, though her expression was somewhat hesitant as she glanced at Li Beijue beside her.
She had thought it was just a simple move to a slightly larger room, but it turned out to be decorated so... grandly?
Jiang Baobao suddenly thought of these two words, and her mood became somewhat subtle for a moment.
Immediately after, she heard Li Beijue urging from the side, "You three should go back to your rooms; don't disturb Mommy's rest."
His tone was so natural, as if the two of them were truly a perfectly ordinary married couple.
A strange feeling rose in Jiang Baobao's heart again, and she subconsciously turned her head to look at Li Beijue, a flash of confusion in her eyes.
The three little ones immediately obeyed, jumping down from the chairs and the bed.
"Mommy, then we're going back to rest now, you have a good sleep in your new room!"
The little ones said this while waving at Jiang Baobao with smiles, then ran out of the room together.
The vast space instantly became much quieter, with only Li Beijue still standing at the doorway, seemingly with no intention of leaving.
"Do you still have something to do?" Jiang Baobao asked subconsciously.
"No." Li Beijue shook his head, then turned to leave, but stopped when he reached the door.
"Good night." He suddenly said in a low voice.
"Good night!" Jiang Baobao hurriedly replied, watching him walk out of the room and close the door for her, only then letting out a long sigh of relief.
She stood in place for a while, then turned and walked into the bathroom with a subtle expression.
Jiang Baobao tidied up a little and threw herself onto the soft, large bed, but she didn't feel the slightest bit sleepy.
The unfamiliar environment made her feel a bit unaccustomed for the moment.
Jiang Baobao's eyes couldn't help but dart around, examining this strange room again, and she couldn't help but mutter to herself.
Li Beijue... has he really been treating her a bit too well lately?
Whether it was his usual care or giving her this room today, these were things she had never thought of before!
If this were in the past, she probably would have been smug, thinking he was interested in her!
But now...
Jiang Baobao blinked, her thoughts suddenly shifting slightly.
Li Beijue wouldn't actually like...
Jiang Baobao's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she sat up abruptly from the bed, reaching out to pat her own face.
Impossible.
Li Beijue couldn't possibly like her.
During those first few days after returning to the country, he had practically wanted to swallow her whole!
Besides, the two of them had been together for so many years before without a single spark, so how could he have suddenly changed his nature in this short time?
Rather than saying he liked her, it was more likely that after knowing she was his savior, he felt guilty and was giving her compensation...
That seemed to make more sense!
But after he questioned her about the necklace last time...
Jiang Baobao's hand subconsciously touched the small magnolia flower on her chest, a flash of hesitation in her eyes.
After he asked about the necklace that time, he kissed her.
What did that kiss... mean?
She had originally forced herself to forget that incident, but now...
Jiang Baobao looked thoughtful, her brows knitting together involuntarily.
She pondered for a long time without finding a clue, and finally, she simply threw her hands up and covered her entire self inside the quilt.
Stop thinking about it!
Just pretend he was acting crazy from alcohol that day!
Anyway, Li Beijue couldn't possibly like her!
As Jiang Baobao thought this, she rolled over abruptly, but the next second she heard her phone ringing.
She was slightly stunned, hurriedly lifted the quilt, and groped for the phone placed by the pillow.
She saw that it was actually a call from Old Madam Jiang.
"Grandma? Why are you calling at this time..."
Jiang Baobao muttered softly and hurriedly answered the phone.
"Hello, Grandma? What happened?" Jiang Baobao asked with some concern right away.
It was very quiet on Old Madam Jiang's end.
After a few seconds, the old lady's voice sounded softly, saying cautiously, "Baobao, it seems they have brought back the medicine your uncle takes; they should give it to me tomorrow..."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Baobao immediately sat up from the bed in excitement: "Really? That's great! I'll go pick up the medicine tomorrow and send it to Xinaijie for testing right away!"
No sooner had she finished speaking than she heard Old Mrs. Jiang sigh, sounding somewhat troubled.
"Baobao, this medicine isn't usually kept with me; Xia Huiya holds onto it, and she only brings over one pill when it's time for me to take it..."
"They're watching it that closely?" Jiang Baobao's expression showed some surprise, and her two slender eyebrows knitted tightly together.
To be specifically watched even while taking medicine... That bottle of medicine really did have a problem!
Jiang Baobao pondered with a grave expression for two seconds before speaking: "Grandma, is there any way to avoid their sight? I don't need the whole bottle; even if you just get me one pill, I can take it for testing!"
"This..." Old Mrs. Jiang's tone hesitated for two seconds, as if she were considering something.
After another long pause, she sighed and said in a low voice: "I will try... Baobao, come to my place tomorrow afternoon. Do not use the front entrance. If I manage to get it, I will pass it to you through the fence in the back garden. Don't alert anyone..."
"Okay." Jiang Baobao agreed quickly, gave Old Mrs. Jiang a few more instructions, and then hung up the phone.
She sat blankly on the bed for a while, completely losing all sleepiness; instead, her heart felt stuffed with cotton, heavy and congested.
Jiang Baobao thought for a moment, then simply picked up her phone to notify Liu Xin'ai that she might bring the medicine for testing tomorrow afternoon.
Only then did she toss the phone aside and lie back down on the bed.
If Grandma could really get the medicine, then the Lu Family harming her uncle would be proven beyond a doubt!
She must make them pay the price!
