Chapter 351: Stolen a Kiss from Li Beijue

Thinking this, Li Beijue could not help but become a bit bolder in his actions.

He hesitated for only two seconds before tentatively wrapping his palm around Jiang Baobao's hand.

It was as soft as he had imagined, which made his mood relax as well; he leaned back slowly against the seat and closed his eyes.

Jiang Baobao, however, did not dare to relax for even a moment, keeping her eyes tightly shut the entire time and forcibly suppressing the subconscious impulse to pull her hand away.

Endure a little longer... It's just holding hands, it doesn't mean anything!

But Li Beijue acting like this really is a bit too abnormal!

Is he worried that I might accidentally bump into the glass because I'm drunk?

Jiang Baobao was unwilling to believe the answer that was on the tip of her tongue, struggling in her heart to find excuses for Li Beijue's behavior.

Even though she had truly felt a bit exhausted just a moment ago, she was not sleepy at all now.

Not knowing how much time had passed, the car finally slowed to a stop at the entrance of the villa.

The driver turned his head to glance at the two people in the back seat who were resting with their eyes closed, then reminded them in a low voice: "Mr. Li, we have arrived."

Li Beijue opened his eyes instantly; seeing the villa appear before him, a flash of regret could not help but cross his eyes.

He had never felt that the journey back to the villa was so fast before...

Thinking this, he carefully reached out his hand and gently patted Jiang Baobao on the shoulder.

"Jiang Baobao, we have arrived."

Li Beijue said in a low voice, but Jiang Baobao did not have any reaction.

Her eyelashes merely trembled slightly for a moment, then she struggled a little in Li Beijue's arms, found a more comfortable position, and continued to sleep.

Seeing this, Li Beijue's expression could not help but soften significantly; seeing her sleeping so soundly, a touch of tenderness suddenly flashed in the depths of his heart.

He then lowered his voice even further and called out softly: "Baobao... it's time to wake up."

The simple six words were spoken by Li Beijue as gently as could be, a tone that had never existed before.

It was exactly like the intimate whispering between lovers when waking up in the early morning.

Jiang Baobao was startled in her heart, and a tingling sensation could not help but surge through her entire body instantly.

What did Li Beijue just call her?

Baobao?

She didn't mishear, did she?

Jiang Baobao took a long breath in her heart, still not opening her eyes, deliberately pretending to be fast asleep, while her ears were pricked up high, carefully listening to Li Beijue's movements.

She then felt the other person carefully let go of her hand, letting her lean against the seat.

Then came the sound of the car door being opened.

Jiang Baobao's body had long since become a bit stiff, yet she stubbornly did not dare to move at all.

The next second, she suddenly felt someone place their hands under the backs of her knees.

Then, with a sudden exertion of force, they picked her up directly!

Jiang Baobao's heart skipped a beat, and she instantly squeezed her eyes shut even tighter, continuously warning herself in her heart.

Must not open your eyes!

Must hold on!

With a "click," the car door was gently closed.

Li Beijue unhurriedly carried Jiang Baobao, walking step by step toward the direction of the villa.

Zheng Bo, who was waiting by the window, saw the two return and hurriedly took the initiative to open the villa's main door, then saw Jiang Baobao nestled in Li Beijue's arms, sleeping soundly, and subconsciously asked: "Young Master, is Miss Jiang..."

"Shh." Li Beijue immediately spoke to stop him.

He lowered his head to check on Jiang Baobao's condition again, then spoke in an extremely low voice: "Prepare some hangover soup, and after she wakes up, take it to her room."

"Very well, Young Master."

Zheng Bo hurriedly agreed, and as he spoke, he turned and headed quickly to the kitchen.

Jiang Baobao heard every word of their conversation, and for a moment, she could not help but feel a bit surprised.

I didn't expect Li Beijue to be quite thoughtful...

To actually know to have Zheng Bo prepare hangover soup for me...

She commented softly in her heart, then felt Li Beijue continue to carry her as he walked toward the upstairs.

Jiang Baobao continued to pretend to sleep, not making any reaction.

Not long after, she heard the sound of the room door being opened.

"Tap—"

Li Beijue's leather shoes stepped onto the wooden floor, emitting a unique sound.

Thump...

Jiang Baobao's heartbeat also inexplicably skipped a beat in that instant.

Is it because the two of us, a man and a woman alone, have returned to the room?

Why am I suddenly so nervous?

Jiang Baobao complained softly in her heart, then felt the surface beneath her suddenly soften; it was the familiar touch of that large bed in the bedroom.

Then there was no more sound around her.

Jiang Baobao subconsciously slowed her breathing.

She wanted to open her eyes, but she had not heard any movement of Li Beijue leaving.

For a moment, she did not dare to act rashly, though her heart had long since been unable to hold back.

Why hasn't Li Beijue left yet?

Or could it be that he has already left, just without making any sound?

Should she open her eyes or not?

Jiang Baobao was agonizing over it, pricking up her ears to listen for a long time, yet there was no longer any sound in the room.

Forget it, why not just quietly open her eyes and take a look?

Jiang Baobao made up her mind and intended to open her eyes right then.

Just at this moment—

*Swish! *

The sound of suit fabric rubbing together suddenly rang out in the room, successfully interrupting Jiang Baobao's train of thought.

Jiang Baobao felt the mattress suddenly sink down, and Li Beijue seemed to have sat down on the edge of the bed.

The next second, a unique scent belonging to a certain someone suddenly rushed toward her, mixed with a hint of coolness and composure.

Jiang Baobao's heart gave a sudden jolt; her hands, pressed beneath her, instantly bunched up the bedsheets, and a thin layer of sweat subconsciously broke out on her palms.

Li Beijue was getting closer...

What was he going to do?

Could it be that he wanted to...

Jiang Baobao's heart was hoisted high in an instant, and the sound of her heartbeat was thumping in her ears.

She could feel the other person's breath getting closer bit by bit.

And it was right within reach.

There was almost only a distance of a few millimeters.

Why was Li Beijue getting so close!

Was he... was he... looking at her?

Without needing to open her eyes, Jiang Baobao could seemingly feel the focused gaze of the person right in front of her, and an ambiguous image flashed violently through her mind!

Following that came a sudden, warm, and gentle touch on the corner of her lips!

An extremely restrained kiss landed on her lips, fleeting and gone in an instant.

It took no more than a second before he restrainedly pulled away, as if afraid of waking her.

Li Beijue stared at the person before him with deep eyes, unable to help but reach out his hand to gently tuck away the stray hair by the ear of the woman sleeping soundly on the bed.

Only then did he stand up from the bedside and cautiously walk toward the door.

A few seconds later, with a *click*, the door was closed again.

The sound of leather shoes echoed in the hallway, growing further and further away until it disappeared completely.

Jiang Baobao suddenly opened her eyes and sat up from the bed with a start!

Her eyes were wide open, and her gaze was filled with disbelief.

Li Beijue had just kissed her!!!
