Chapter 388: Public Courtship

Jiang Baobao was stunned upon hearing this; looking at the brilliant fireworks overhead, her mood suddenly became incredibly subtle.

Li Beijue had actually gone to the trouble of preparing all this...

"Bang!" Another explosion of fireworks sounded overhead.

Jiang Baobao was hesitating over whether to look up when she suddenly heard the little ones excitedly shouting, "Wow! It's heart-shaped fireworks!"

Hearing this, Jiang Baobao subconsciously looked up and sure enough, saw a giant heart shape sparkling in the night sky.

Her peripheral vision also caught the person beside her staring at her without blinking, his deep affection barely concealed in his eyes.

"Thump!"

Jiang Baobao heard her own heart suddenly skip a heavy beat.

In a scene like this, there could hardly be any woman who wouldn't be moved, right?

But...

Thinking of how someone had just said the fireworks were "specially" prepared, Jiang Baobao immediately pursed her lips tightly.

This trick was just too old-fashioned!

She wasn't some seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl anymore!

Thinking this, Jiang Baobao stood up, pretending to be nonchalant.

"Mommy, aren't you watching anymore?"

Seeing that she seemed to be leaving, Yanbao asked hurriedly.

Jiang Baobao nodded and deliberately let out a yawn: "Mommy feels a bit tired; you guys play here, Mommy wants to go back and rest for a bit..."

After finishing, Jiang Baobao didn't even look at Li Beijue on the side and turned to leave without hesitation.

So what if the fireworks were specially prepared!

She just wouldn't watch them!

Given Li Beijue's personality, having his face slapped like this, he should know to retreat in the face of difficulty, right?

Thinking this, Jiang Baobao returned to her room and truly went straight to bed to rest.

The fireworks outside the window continued, colorful and very beautiful.

Jiang Baobao looked at the sky outside the window, but she couldn't help but recall the words someone had just whispered in her ear.

"Tsk..."

Realizing she was thinking about Li Beijue again, Jiang Baobao simply wrapped herself entirely in the quilt.

To say she wasn't surprised by today's events would be a lie...

But every time she saw Li Beijue's gaze, it couldn't help but make her recall her own wretched self from six years ago, loving him humbly by his side.

She couldn't repeat the same mistakes...

She and Li Beijue had finally managed to maintain this calm state.

This was already very good; no changes were needed.

A few days later—

The second match began as scheduled.

Star Team won another victory, defeating their opponents two to zero without any suspense.

After it ended, Jiang Baobao took her team members to accept interviews from major media outlets as usual.

Li Beijue, having settled the little ones, also followed along to the interview area.

Unexpectedly, after the reporters finished asking their rounds, they all turned their gaze toward Jiang Baobao and Li Beijue in unison.

"Lisa, Mr. Li, may we ask you a few questions?"

A reporter standing in the front row took the initiative to ask.

"Boss, come quickly!"

Xiao Ding waved enthusiastically at Jiang Baobao.

Jiang Baobao stood calmly in the middle of the group.

Immediately after, she heard the reporter in front ask: "Ms. Lisa, Star Team has already secured two consecutive victories; in the upcoming matches, do you have the confidence to maintain a zero-loss record and take the championship for the Asian Division?"

"Well, about that..."

Jiang Baobao smiled and glanced casually at her team members beside her: "If they have the strength for it, I would of course be very happy..."

That reporter didn't dig up any explosive answers, and their expression was suddenly a little disappointed.

The others continued to ask a few routine questions, all of which Jiang Baobao answered one by one.

She had thought the interview was over, but unexpectedly, the next reporter suddenly extended the microphone toward Li Beijue.

"Mr. Li, if I remember correctly, you were also here watching the match last time? Do you also have great confidence in Star Team?"

Li Beijue nodded calmly: "I naturally have confidence in the team I invested in."

Who knew the other party would suddenly change the subject: "Then I wonder what Mr. Li's opinion is of our league's only beautiful boss, Ms. Lisa?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's attention was immediately drawn.

Jiang Baobao was also stunned upon hearing this, and a slight ominous premonition suddenly arose in her heart.

How would Li Beijue answer?

In such a public setting... he should know how to answer with the most propriety, right?

Jiang Baobao kept comforting herself in her heart.

Then she heard the man beside her suddenly chuckle.

"Although I would very much like to praise Ms. Lisa in a very official manner, however... it cannot be denied that I admire her as a person very much, and in fact, I have even been pursuing her recently."

"Good heavens!"

Xiao Ding couldn't help himself and was the first to let out an exclamation, and as luck would have it, he did it right into the microphone, instantly broadcasting the sound throughout the entire venue.

The group of reporters instantly erupted into a frenzy, beginning to discuss it heatedly.

"President Li, you just said you want to pursue Ms. Lisa, is that true?"

"President Li, may I ask what methods you have taken to pursue Ms. Lisa?"

In an instant, all the microphones were thrust in front of Li Beijue.

The members of Starry Sky also looked at each other, their faces full of gossip and excitement.

Good heavens!

The sugar daddy is just too bold!

He actually just admitted like that that he is pursuing the boss!

Jiang Baobao stood to the side, the smile on her face having long since frozen in place.

Is Li Beijue crazy!

To actually say such a thing directly to the reporters like that!

And she clearly hadn't agreed to anything!

Jiang Baobao was speechless for a moment, and when she finally regained her senses, she saw several microphones thrust toward her face.

"Ms. Lisa, President Li just said he wants to publicly pursue you. May I ask what your response to this is?"

A group of reporters looked at Jiang Baobao like tigers eyeing their prey.

Jiang Baobao subconsciously raised her eyes, and out of the corner of her eye, she felt that someone who had just spoken without thinking was looking at her with a smile in his eyes.

She quickly adjusted her expression and swept a blank look at Li Beijue.

This is what he said himself!

Don't blame her for not giving him face!

Jiang Baobao quickly adjusted her expression and calmly took the microphone from one of the reporters: "Regarding this matter, in order to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings, I will take this opportunity to clarify: I personally have no intention of dating anyone recently. Thank you, President Li, for your high regard."

As soon as these words were spoken, they caused another huge uproar.

A group of reporters were full of excitement at having dug up a scoop and hurriedly turned their microphones toward Li Beijue: "President Li! Do you have anything to say regarding Ms. Lisa's rejection?"

"Nothing at all." Li Beijue smiled very gentlemanly: "Since I said I am pursuing her, it is naturally impossible to have a result immediately, but if I don't try, how would I know?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Baobao immediately rolled her eyes in her heart, feeling annoyed.

This guy Li Beijue!

It would be one thing if he just kept talking about this in private!

Now, when there isn't even a shadow of a relationship yet, he actually made it public?
