Chapter 349: Does Li Beijue Really Like Her?
Li Beichen's face was livid; he was rendered speechless by the retort, yet he could do nothing about the Cai Xiaotang before him.
Jiang Baobao stood to one side, the corners of her mouth unable to resist curling into a slight arc, watching the Li Beichen before her with the look of someone watching a good show.
Immediately after, she heard Cai Xiaotang continue: "Are you still not leaving? Could it be that you want me to call Li Xiao over so we can have a chat together?"
"No need, Third... Third Aunt, you continue chatting with your friend, I won't disturb you."
Li Beichen spoke hurriedly, not saying another word, and immediately turned around with his wine glass, walking away in the direction of another path, his back looking rather disheveled.
Jiang Baobao and Cai Xiaotang subconsciously exchanged a glance and immediately couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Xiao Tang, I couldn't tell, you were too imposing just now, weren't you? You really managed to hold that elder's air firmly in check?"
Jiang Baobao couldn't help but tease with a smile.
As soon as the words fell, she saw Cai Xiaotang roll her eyes in annoyance at the direction Li Beichen had left in, saying disdainfully: "To deal with a scoundrel like this, you have to use this method. If I don't use my seniority to suppress him, he won't even take me seriously!"
As Cai Xiaotang spoke, she turned around, looking a bit uneasy, and said to Jiang Baobao: "However... I always feel that the guy from just now has ill intentions toward you! You didn't see the look in his eyes when he was looking at you just now! Even if you and Li Beijue are already divorced, no matter what, you were still his sister-in-law before, right? He actually called you by your name directly just now; he was simply acting like a hooligan in broad daylight!"
As Cai Xiaotang spoke, her tone was full of displeasure.
Seeing this, Jiang Baobao hurriedly spoke to comfort her: "Alright, haven't you already vented my anger for me? Today is your happy day, don't let this kind of thing affect your mood."
As she spoke, she also turned her head to look in the direction Li Beichen had left, a dark glint flashing rapidly across the bottom of her eyes.
She had already sensed Li Beichen's attitude toward her the last time she went to the Li Family, but she hadn't taken it to heart.
In any case, she had no interaction with him, and they wouldn't meet in the future.
What's more, he had already suffered a loss today.
Jiang Baobao shook her head inwardly, not taking the matter from just now to heart, though her eyes unconsciously began to size up the layout of the venue.
The venue here was really decorated beautifully today; back then...
Jiang Baobao couldn't help but think of that wedding from a few years ago, her mood becoming somewhat subtle for a moment.
"Baobao, what are you thinking about?"
Cai Xiaotang's voice suddenly rang in her ear, pulling Jiang Baobao's thoughts back abruptly.
Jiang Baobao hurriedly shook her head, then used her wine glass to gently clink against the glass in Cai Xiaotang's hand, saying softly: "I was thinking that today's wedding is held so well, and I'm so happy for you! You are finally going to have a new life experience!"
Jiang Baobao said these two sentences sincerely, a trace of loneliness that went unnoticed by others flashing rapidly across the bottom of her eyes.
Once, she had also thought that her life had a new beginning.
Unexpectedly, it ended up in a complete mess...
But Xiao Tang is different.
She hopes she has truly found her own happiness and that from today on, every day will be happy!
Thinking this, Jiang Baobao couldn't help but tilt her head back and drink the wine in her glass in one gulp.
Seeing this, Cai Xiaotang hurriedly tried to persuade her with amusement: "Why are you drinking so much? Be careful not to get yourself drunk again!"
Hearing this, Jiang Baobao shook her head gently; not only did she not stop, but she poured herself another glass of wine instead.
"Of course I'm happy for you. On such a joyous day, how can I not drink a couple more glasses? I specifically cleared my schedule for today, and I don't have any work this afternoon, so it doesn't matter if I drink a little more!"
As Jiang Baobao spoke, she drank half the wine in her hand in one breath.
Seeing this, Cai Xiaotang had no choice but to stop trying to stop her and accompanied her, drinking glass after glass.
Not long after, both of their faces became somewhat flushed, though they were not drunk.
Jiang Baobao was in an incredibly good mood; she smiled and took another newly opened bottle of wine, raising her eyebrows as she said: "Still trying to persuade me? The wine at your wedding doesn't have a high alcohol content at all! It's impossible to get someone drunk!"
Jiang Baobao shook the wine glass in her hand with amusement; apart from her expression looking slightly tired, her eyes remained very clear.
Just as the words fell, she suddenly saw Mobai and Yanbao standing not far away, waving at her, seemingly wanting her to go over.
Jiang Baobao hurriedly said to Cai Xiaotang: "Xiao Tang, Mobai and Yanbao seem to be looking for me, I'll go see what they need."
As Jiang Baobao spoke, she put down her wine glass and walked toward the direction of the two little ones.
Just as she got close, she heard Mobai holding her hand and asking in a low voice: "Mommy, can we go find Little Sister to play?"
As Mobai asked, he stretched out his finger to point at Tiantian, who was with the members of the Team.
Hearing this, Jiang Baobao's gaze flickered for a moment; after thinking about it, she still shook her head, feeling somewhat uneasy: "There are too many people here. If you two play with Tiantian, Mommy is afraid of attracting other people's attention. Let's wait until we go home tomorrow to play together, okay?"
Jiang Baobao answered in a low voice, gently rubbing the heads of the two little ones as comfort.
Hearing this, Mobai and Yanbao's little faces both looked regretful, but they obediently didn't bring up the matter again.
Jiang Baobao wanted to say something more, but her peripheral vision caught Li Beijue also walking toward her direction.
"Daddy."
The two little ones immediately greeted him obediently.
Li Beijue nodded casually, and then, looking directly at Jiang Baobao, he got straight to the point: "I seemed to see Beichen go find you just now; what did he say to you?"
Li Beijue's tone was low, and his two sword-like eyebrows were tightly furrowed together.
He had seen Li Beichen go find Jiang Baobao earlier, but he couldn't get away at the time.
Now that he finally had a moment of leisure, he hurriedly came over to ask.
Jiang Baobao didn't expect him to have seen it; she pondered for two seconds before answering: "Nothing, he just said some words to congratulate Xiao Tang, was polite for a moment, and then left."
After weighing it carefully, Jiang Baobao still didn't mention what had happened just now.
Hearing this, Li Beijue paused slightly, then nodded casually without continuing to press, though his gaze shifted to the bouquet Jiang Baobao was still holding in her hand, and he suddenly said in a low voice: "I haven't congratulated you yet for catching the bouquet today."
"Uh..."
Jiang Baobao was taken aback by his words, subconsciously looking down at the bright flowers in her hand, not knowing how to respond for a moment.
What was there to be surprised about in catching a bouquet!
And it wasn't like she had snatched it voluntarily!
It was that guy Xiao Tang who had deliberately thrown it into her arms!
Jiang Baobao muttered a few complaints in her heart in a low voice, but suddenly thought of what had just happened.
The little ones all said that Li Beijue was pursuing her, and as for those words Li Laoyezi said just now, Beijue did not chime in either...
Could he really be... interested in her...?
