Chapter 350: Testing Li Beijue's Love

~7 min read 1,338 words

A bold idea suddenly flashed through Jiang Baobao's mind, and her heart gave a sudden thump.

For some time now, she had been deliberately avoiding certain behaviors of Li Beijue that were different from his usual self.

But as things stood now, simply avoiding him did not seem to be able to solve the problem.

Jiang Baobao pondered for two seconds, her gaze inadvertently sweeping across the dining table where wine glasses were placed on both sides, and she suddenly had an idea.

She suddenly looked up, stared directly at Li Beijue, and asked, "I just drank, so I can't drive home later. Would it be a bother to catch a ride with you?"

Li Beijue was stunned upon hearing this; he hadn't expected her to take the initiative to want to ride in his car. He reacted for a moment, then hurriedly nodded and agreed, "Of course. My car has been waiting outside. Just let me know whenever you want to go back."

"Okay, then... I'll go find Xiao Tang first."

Jiang Baobao nodded, exchanged a few words with the two little ones, and then turned around again to walk in the direction of Cai Xiaotang.

As soon as she got close, she saw Cai Xiaotang leaning in with a gossipy look on her face and whispering, "I didn't get to ask you just now, what exactly is going on between you and Li Beijue? Why is the old man of the Li Family so anxious to play matchmaker for you two? What is the situation? Give me an honest account!"

Jiang Baobao sighed helplessly upon hearing this.

"If I said I don't know what the situation is either, would you believe me?"

"I certainly wouldn't!" Cai Xiaotang replied without hesitation.

As she spoke, she glanced at Li Beijue not far away and said thoughtfully, "Just now, when we were all together, I noticed that Li Beijue was looking at you almost the entire time. That look in his eyes—he looked like he wanted to stick himself directly onto you! I believe you when you say you have no thoughts about him, but as for him having no thoughts about you, I don't believe it at all right now... Could that dog of a man have had a change of heart?"

Cai Xiaotang's eyes were sharp, and her analysis was logical; she hit the "truth" in one go.

Jiang Baobao's gaze, however, was somewhat evasive, and she did not answer immediately.

She thought for two seconds before whispering, "I'm not too sure either, but whatever he wants to do, what does it have to do with me?"

Jiang Baobao stubbornly distanced herself from the two of them.

Then, without waiting for Cai Xiaotang to speak, she hurriedly grabbed a wine glass from the side, clinked it against the glass in her hand, and changed the subject: "Today is your big day, why are you discussing me? Come, drink!"

As Jiang Baobao spoke, she tilted her head back and downed half a glass of wine.

Yet her eyes drifted uncontrollably toward Li Beijue, and her mind began to race.

She truly could not guess what Li Beijue was thinking.

But since the little ones and Xiao Tang all felt he was acting strangely, why not test him!

If it turns out to be nothing, that would be for the best; she could save herself from overthinking every day and feeling like she was just being wishful!

But if he really did have thoughts about her...

As Jiang Baobao thought this, she couldn't help but freeze slightly, getting stuck halfway through her thought.

Li Beijue having thoughts about her... that was actually impossible, right?

Forget it!

Anyway... there would be an answer soon.

Afternoon—

The wedding banquet continued until dusk before it ended.

Li Laoyezi was advanced in years; after the ceremony at noon, he took the two little ones back to the villa to rest in the afternoon.

Tiantian had also been sent back to the villa early by Shen Lingfeng.

Only Li Xiao and Cai Xiaotang, along with Li Beijue and Jiang Baobao, stayed until the very end. After seeing off almost all the guests, the few of them finally prepared to leave.

The four of them went out together and happened to part ways at the entrance of the villa.

"Xiao Tang, we're heading off then? Happy wedding, go back early and enjoy your world for two!"

Before getting into the car, Jiang Baobao couldn't help but tease Cai Xiaotang.

Cai Xiaotang could only smile helplessly upon hearing this, waved at Jiang Baobao, and deliberately went along with her words: "Then hurry up and get in the car! Don't disturb our world for two!"

Jiang Baobao nodded with a laugh upon hearing this, then turned and sat in the car.

Watching Li Beijue's car drive away, Cai Xiaotang then turned and got into Li Xiao's car.

As soon as the car door closed, she immediately reached out to rub her cheeks and whispered, "It's finally over. Who knew getting married could take an entire day! My face is almost stiff from smiling!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than she heard Li Xiao beside her ask with a smile, "Since you're so tired, do you still want to go back and enjoy our world for two?"

"Who wants to..."

Cai Xiaotang subconsciously wanted to retort, but halfway through, she suddenly remembered the driver was in front, so she hurriedly changed her words: "I'm already very tired today, please let me get some good rest! Thank you!"

After saying this, she stopped looking at Li Xiao beside her and turned her head to look out the window.

Li Xiao raised an eyebrow indifferently and simply closed his eyes as well, wanting to get a little rest.

The next second, however, he felt the phone in his pocket vibrate.

Li Xiao took out his phone, glanced down at it, and raised an eyebrow slightly.

There was only a short line of text on the phone.

【The other side has made no move, but they have already had someone investigate the sister-in-law's background. Be careful recently.】

On the other side, as soon as Jiang Baobao sat in the car, she took the initiative to lean against the window, pretending to close her eyes and rest.

She had indeed drunk a lot of wine today, but she was not drunk.

Although her face looked flushed, her mind was incredibly clear.

The car was completely silent.

Even the driver, fearing to disturb Jiang Baobao's rest, deliberately slowed down.

After some time had passed, a hand suddenly rested gently on Jiang Baobao's shoulder.

Jiang Baobao's body moved slightly, and an alarm went off in her heart.

It was Li Beijue!

What did he want to do?

Jiang Baobao subconsciously wanted to tense her body, but then remembered she was still pretending to be asleep, so she hurriedly feigned even more relaxation in an instant.

Immediately after, she felt her body tilt slightly, as if she were being gently pulled toward the other side by someone.

The next second, she was leaned directly against a warm and powerful shoulder!

It was none other than Li Beijue, who was sitting beside her!

Jiang Baobao's eyelashes trembled slightly for a moment, and she subconsciously lightened her breathing in an instant.

Li Beijue's movements were even more careful; seeing that he hadn't woken Jiang Baobao, he breathed a sigh of relief cautiously, a hint of a smile flashing uncontrollably in his eyes.

This woman actually drank so much alcohol today...

But precisely because of this, he now had the opportunity to quietly hold her in his arms...

Li Beijue thought to himself, a trace of doting flashing uncontrollably in his eyes, and he nodded with satisfaction in his heart.

Then, his gaze could not help but slowly fall upon Jiang Baobao's hand, and his heart suddenly stirred slightly.

Since she hadn't woken up... then if he held her hand a little... it should be fine, right?
