Chapter 292: Li Beijue is Jealous Again

~7 min read 1,326 words

Jiang Baobao's gaze flickered for a moment. Realizing she was still in the clothing store, she hurriedly adjusted her mood, then pulled Jiang Chenghao in front of the mirror with a beaming smile and asked, "How is it? Do you like the new clothes?"

"Mm-hmm! They look good!" As soon as Jiang Chenghao saw himself in the mirror, his eyes widened in surprise, and his expression became somewhat excited, exactly like a child who had just received new clothes.

Jiang Baobao also nodded quite satisfied, then hurriedly paid the bill and pulled Jiang Chenghao out of the mall.

Her car was parked right at the entrance. Checking the time, Jiang Baobao started the car without a word and drove in the direction of Binjiang Park.

In the parking lot, the window of a black car slowly rolled down.

Li Beijue sat in the driver's seat, looking expressionlessly at the car that had just driven away from before his eyes.

Why was Jiang Baobao here?

And she was pulling a man, looking like they were in a great hurry?

Where were they going?

He hadn't seen the man's face clearly. For a moment, it felt as if a jar of vinegar had been overturned in his heart. The next second, without a second thought, he slammed his foot on the gas pedal and followed behind Jiang Baobao's car.

The traffic on a weekday morning was not congested. Not long after, Jiang Baobao parked the car at the entrance of Binjiang Park.

Following Liu Xin'ai's description, she soon brought Jiang Chenghao to the lakeside.

Immediately, she saw a woman in a white dress already sitting on a bench not far away.

"Xinaijie!"

Jiang Baobao recognized at a glance who the person sitting there was, hurriedly greeted her, and walked over with quick steps.

Hearing this, Liu Xin'ai also stood up and subconsciously turned her head to look over.

Yet, upon seeing the neatly dressed Jiang Chenghao, she was slightly stunned.

Jiang Baobao pulled Jiang Chenghao over. Seeing her clothes, her expression suddenly became somewhat subtle.

Why did she feel... that she seemed to have seen this dress of Xinaijie's before...

Was it the time she saw her wearing it when she was on a date with her uncle...

Jiang Baobao's expression was somewhat puzzled, but unable to recall more details, she had to pretend to be relaxed and said, "Xinaijie, I've brought the person for you. Do you need me to step aside?"

No sooner had she finished speaking than she saw Liu Xin'ai shake her head gently, then reach out her hand toward Jiang Chenghao.

"Cheng Hao, do you want to hold hands?"

Liu Xin'ai asked softly, the smile at the corners of her mouth full of reluctance.

Jiang Baobao's brow twitched; a premonition that something was about to happen suddenly welled up in her heart.

The next second, she felt Jiang Chenghao, who had been obediently holding her hand, suddenly break free.

Almost without hesitation, he grabbed the hand Liu Xin'ai had extended.

Unlike when Jiang Baobao held his wrist like a child, his large palm completely enveloped Liu Xin'ai's slender, fair hand, a gesture that seemed like the most habitual action.

That was a memory that had already become a habit in his body.

Liu Xin'ai looked at their intertwined hands, her gaze flickering for a moment, and her eyes suddenly reddened unexpectedly.

"Xinaijie, what's wrong? If there's anything, you can tell me directly..."

Jiang Baobao did not know what kind of heavy burden she was hiding in her heart, so she hurriedly spoke to comfort her in a flustered manner.

Yet she did not notice at all that a figure had already been following behind her for a long time in the distance.

Li Beijue watched the three of them standing together from afar. Although he dared not approach, he vaguely discovered that things seemed different from what he had imagined.

The woman beside Jiang Baobao seemed to be the eldest daughter of the Liu Family?

Then the man beside her wasn't...

Li Beijue's gaze flickered for a moment. Seeing the three of them walking forward along the lake together, he hurriedly followed.

Lakeside—

Jiang Baobao walked quietly by Liu Xin'ai's side, but her peripheral vision subconsciously watched the hands she and Jiang Chenghao were holding together, and for a moment, she felt somewhat unsettled.

Immediately after, she heard Liu Xin'ai suddenly say softly, "Baobao, do you know how I and your uncle... met?"

"I... I don't think I know..." Jiang Baobao shook her head gently.

She had asked about this many times before, but her uncle always acted mysterious, only promising to tell her about it on the day of their wedding.

But she had never waited for the two of them to have their wedding...

"Him..." Liu Xin'ai spoke softly, seemingly immersed in the memory of the past. She paused for a long while before saying, "We two met right here at that time..."

"Here?" Jiang Baobao was stunned for a moment, her expression somewhat surprised.

Liu Xin'ai nodded gently and continued, "At that time, I was feeling troubled because of family matters, so I came to this park for a walk... Back then, this park had just been built, and the security system wasn't perfect. I had my phone snatched by someone who suddenly rushed out, and your uncle just happened to be here..."

"So he acted bravely to help, staging a scene of a hero saving a beauty?"

Jiang Baobao smiled and took over the conversation, having roughly guessed what had happened.

Unexpectedly, she saw Liu Xin'ai shake her head gently.

"In real life, where are there so many heroes saving beauties? He... chased after the person who snatched my phone, and I ran after him. I didn't expect the other party to have accomplices... To help me get my phone back, he got into a fight with them, but after all, there were many of them, and he took a few hits. In the end, it was the elderly people nearby who helped us call the police..."

"Ah? Uncle actually didn't beat them?"

Jiang Baobao hadn't expected such a development, and her expression was for a moment between laughing and crying.

Recalling the past, Liu Xin'ai finally couldn't help but have a hint of a smile on her face.

As for Jiang Chenghao, from the moment he saw Liu Xin'ai, he had been quietly following by her side.

"Then... is there anything else fun that you can tell me?" Jiang Baobao thought Liu Xin'ai was just in a bad mood and wanted someone to talk to, so her expression gradually relaxed a bit.

Liu Xin'ai nodded gently, then began to speak in a low voice about some small things from when the two of them were dating, and from time to time, the sound of Jiang Baobao being amused could be heard by the lake.

"Cheng Hao looks very mature and steady, but in reality, he is incredibly childish... I remember one time we went to see a movie, and he saw someone selling balloons at the mall entrance and insisted on buying me one. As a result, as soon as I entered the cinema, I was stared at by everyone..."

"Ah? That's too embarrassing! Uncle actually had such a childish moment!"

Listening to this, Jiang Baobao couldn't help but tease with a laugh.

The two of them chatted while walking slowly forward along the lake.

This lake was not particularly large, and before long, the two of them reached the end.

Liu Xin'ai suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Jiang Baobao also stopped along with her.

"Baobao, in the future... you must take good care of your uncle."

Liu Xin'ai suddenly spoke up and said this.

Jiang Baobao was stunned upon hearing this.

The next second, she saw Liu Xin'ai break free from the hand Jiang Chenghao was holding, and she said softly: "Next Sunday... I am getting engaged..."
