Chapter 287: The One I Like Is You

Half an hour later—

A plate of piping hot skewers was placed on the table.

Cai Xiaotang grabbed a lamb skewer without hesitation and took a bite, looking annoyed.

She spoke unhappily, "It's all because of those two guys! I wanted to have a nice meal with you, but now we can only eat skewers at a roadside shop!"

As she spoke, she took another fierce bite.

Jiang Baobao didn't know how to comfort the person in front of her, so she had to say helplessly, "That Chen Zihao is a bit outrageous, but you scolded him well today, so he shouldn't dare to bother you again. However, Li Xiao..."

Jiang Baobao thought of the attitude Li Xiao had when speaking to Cai Xiaotang earlier, and her expression was puzzled for a moment.

"Don't mention those two words to me! My head aches just hearing him!" Cai Xiaotang shook her head rapidly; the mere thought of what Li Xiao had said made her scalp tingle.

"I have no interest in that kind of old uncle! He had better not run into me again! And saying he wanted to ask me out... I'm not going!"

As Cai Xiaotang spoke, a look of disdain appeared on her face.

Jiang Baobao couldn't help but tease, "Are you really not going to consider it? Li Xiao... although he is a bit older than you, he looks just like a young man in his twenties..."

"What are you saying? Do you really want me to be your aunt!"

Upon hearing this, Cai Xiaotang immediately pouted in annoyance and looked at Jiang Baobao speechlessly.

"Just a joke..." Jiang Baobao stuck out her tongue. Seeing Cai Xiaotang's miserable expression, she hurriedly changed her approach, "Then how about... I help you find out what Li Xiao is thinking? What if he's just teasing you..."

"Then he really is bored enough!" Cai Xiaotang immediately retorted loudly.

"Then do you actually hope he really likes you, or is just teasing you? I'm just trying to put your mind at ease!" Jiang Baobao was caught between laughter and tears, asking back amusedly.

Cai Xiaotang was stunned by her words.

After thinking for two seconds, she waved her hand speechlessly: "Whatever he wants, anyway, I couldn't possibly like him, I just hope I don't run into him again! Come! Let's drink!"

Cai Xiaotang picked up her wine glass and downed half of it in one go.

Jiang Baobao had no choice but to follow suit and picked up her own glass.

Then she heard Cai Xiaotang ask, "By the way, how are things on your end? Have you run into any trouble that you need my help with?"

"No, but come to think of it, there is a piece of good news."

Jiang Baobao smiled and briefly explained that she had already obtained the medicine that Jiang Chenghao had been taking today.

Upon hearing this, a hint of a smile finally appeared on Cai Xiaotang's face, and she nodded with satisfaction.

"Finally, something that makes me happy. Once you deal with those bastards from the Lu Family, we'll go on a trip to celebrate!"

"Sure, but we have to wait until the competition cycle ends. Oh, right, there's one more thing..."

Jiang Baobao suddenly thought of something and briefly talked about going out to sea with Li Beijue a few days ago.

Cai Xiaotang listened and couldn't help but pour herself another glass of wine.

Only then did she speak leisurely: "That dog of a man actually had no idea that the person who saved him was you! But... it's not too late now that he knows! Make him compensate you, he must compensate you!"

As she spoke, she couldn't help but add: "As expected, the people in the Li Family are all crazy! Not a single one is normal!"

Jiang Baobao raised her eyebrows noncommittally, a hint of a smile flashing in her eyes.

The two chatted casually about other topics and drank until the night grew deep, only then parting ways at the restaurant.

Jiang Baobao went straight back to Li Mansion.

Returning to the villa, she heard that the living room was quiet; the three little ones had already gone back to their rooms to sleep.

Jiang Baobao walked up the stairs on tiptoe, afraid of making noise and waking them, and only relaxed once she reached her own floor.

But before she could even enter her room, she heard the door of the room next to hers suddenly open.

Jiang Baobao paused, seeing Li Beijue in his pajamas walking out of the room holding a coffee mug.

Their eyes met in mid-air.

Jiang Baobao reacted for two seconds before greeting him, "Good evening."

"Hmm." Li Beijue nodded, his gaze flickering for a moment before he pretended to speak casually, "Mobai said you went to celebrate a friend's birthday tonight."

"Yes." Jiang Baobao answered truthfully, then stood at the doorway, not knowing what else to say.

Just as she was about to find an excuse to go back to her room to rest, she suddenly thought of tonight's events.

She wondered how much Li Beijue knew about Li Xiao...

Jiang Baobao's gaze flickered for a moment, and she suddenly asked tentatively, "Can I talk to you about something?"

"Sure, what do you want to talk about?" Li Beijue was just thinking about what excuse to use to talk to Jiang Baobao a bit more, and upon hearing this, he agreed without hesitation.

Then he heard Jiang Baobao ask, "Can I ask you... about Li Xiao?"

"Little Uncle?"

Li Beijue was startled upon hearing this, his brow immediately furrowing as he looked at Jiang Baobao with some confusion.

Jiang Baobao hurriedly explained, "I just... want to ask for a friend, what kind of... girls does he like?"

"You mean as a romantic partner?" Li Beijue finally reacted, but the expression on his face didn't relax; instead, he became even more puzzled.

She was asking for a friend?

Which friend was she asking for?

Could it be... that she herself was interested in this question?

Li Beijue's gaze flickered for a moment; he felt a bit sour inside, but he couldn't confirm Jiang Baobao's purpose for asking this question.

He thought for two seconds, suddenly had an idea, and then spoke unhurriedly: "I only know the general type that Little Uncle likes. Do you want to hear it?"

"Yes, if it's convenient..." Jiang Baobao nodded, looking at Li Beijue with anticipation, her own little plans clicking away in her mind.

If Xiao Tang knew what type Li Xiao liked, she probably wouldn't be so troubled by this matter!

After all, the probability of love at first sight is just too small...

Jiang Baobao thought to herself while patiently waiting for Li Beijue's answer.

Then she heard him say slowly: "First of all, she definitely must have no marital history."

Li Beijue first emphasized the most important point, and seeing that Jiang Baobao did not have much of a reaction, he then continued, "Secondly, he likes a livelier type, a more outgoing personality, and she should also be on the younger side..."

Li Beijue deliberately described a type with a personality completely opposite to Jiang Baobao's, observing her expression calmly as he spoke.

Immediately, he indeed saw Jiang Baobao's expression change slightly.

"Ah... so that's how it is..."

Jiang Baobao nodded thoughtfully, alarm bells ringing in her heart instantly.

Lively, outgoing, and also younger than Li Xiao!

Isn't the person Li Beijue described just Xiao Tang herself!
