Chapter 404: She Seems to Have Had a Change of Heart

Jiang Baobao's gaze froze abruptly, and she instinctively wanted to dodge backward!

"Don't move."

Li Beijue's magnetic voice seemed to carry some kind of magic; just those two words made Jiang Baobao freeze in place, stiffening for an instant.

Immediately after, she felt a finger gently fiddling near her earlobe, bringing a trace of cool, ticklish sensation.

Jiang Baobao felt her face burn up in an instant, scorching hot to a frightening degree.

In her mind, the earnest words someone had just spoken were still echoing; the information she had always doubted finally had an answer.

Li Beijue was truly serious...

It wasn't a heat of the moment, nor was it a passing whim!

Jiang Baobao blinked her eyes, her brain in a state of confusion for a moment.

"Your hair was caught on your earring," Li Beijue explained softly, his tone rising slightly at the end, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up.

"If you look at me so blankly like that, I really won't be able to help myself from doing something..."

He spoke with implication, his gaze suddenly darkening as if he were suppressing some kind of emotion, yet he couldn't help but lean in closer.

Her pink, tender lips were within reach.

The two people's breathing also stirred together, whipping up a scorching heat...

The next second—

Jiang Baobao instantly came to her senses and stood up from the sofa with a start, even her earlobes couldn't help but start to burn, reminding her of the chaos in her heart at this moment.

"Please have some self-respect! I... I'm going back first, Mobai and the others are still waiting for me!"

Jiang Baobao dropped this sentence and was about to get up and leave.

But just as she turned around, her wrist was grabbed by someone.

"I have something to give you."

Li Beijue's voice sounded from behind; after saying this, he let go of the hand holding her and took out a document from behind the sofa cushion next to him.

"I originally wanted to tell you later, but..."

As Li Beijue spoke, he shook his head with a hint of amusement.

"Only now do I realize that I actually have moments where I can't hold back."

Hearing the self-mockery in his tone, Jiang Baobao was stunned again, a subtle emotion flashing through the depths of her heart.

Immediately after, she saw Li Beijue stuff the document into her hand.

"What is this?"

Jiang Baobao was stunned for a moment, lowered her head to scan it twice, and only then realized it seemed to be a contract for the purchase of an island.

"This is an island."

Li Beijue explained with a smile: "I specifically had people look for an island with no owner. The environment on this island is very good, so I bought it directly. Do you like castles like the one at the Wilson family's? We can build one when the time comes, or if you like other buildings, that's all fine..."

"Li Beijue!!!"

Jiang Baobao interrupted him abruptly and put the document back on the table: "I don't need a castle..."

"But I want to give it to you." Li Beijue raised his eyebrows noncommittally.

"Isn't pursuing someone about giving the other person everything good within one's own capabilities? I have this ability, why can't I do it?"

"But..." Jiang Baobao was blocked by him and couldn't speak, her brain completely crashed.

There was simply no loophole to be found in Li Beijue's words!

She could choose not to accept it, but she couldn't stop him from preparing these things...

Jiang Baobao felt as if she had fallen into a strange logic, and her heart was pounding uncontrollably.

She had never thought... that someone would actually say so earnestly that they wanted to build a castle for her...

"Don't refuse me, okay? At least give me a chance to make it up to you..."

Li Beijue took a step forward, his eyes full of deep affection.

Jiang Baobao hardly dared to look into his eyes; she just wanted to leave here quickly and said with rapid speed: "Suit yourself!"

She dropped these four words and turned to run away without looking back.

Li Beijue watched her fleeing back with a thoughtful look and couldn't help but smile dotingly.

If he wasn't mistaken...

She just now... blushed, didn't she?

That's just great!

Returning to the Base, Jiang Baobao locked herself directly in her room.

She took a deep breath, trying hard to calm her mood, but her mind was full of Li Beijue's earnest tone from just now.

"Seriously... when did this guy become so good at flirting..."

Jiang Baobao let out a long sigh, her little heart still fluttering.

It wasn't that she hadn't encountered men who pursued her relentlessly before, but those people only made her feel annoyed...

But Li Beijue...

Jiang Baobao lay silently on the bed, and suddenly, she thought of something.

She hadn't finished applying the medicine to him yet!

She sat up from the bed abruptly, her expression somewhat conflicted.

After pondering for a long while, she hurriedly took out her phone and quickly opened the chat box.

【Apply that tube of ointment three times a day, and the wound will be healed in three days.】

After deleting and editing for a long time, she finally sent this message out.

Then, in just a few seconds, she received a reply from him.

L: 【Understood, no need to worry about me.】

L: 【I will keep the ointment you gave me safe.】

Li Beijue's eyes were full of smiles as he stared at the short message for a long time, and thinking back to the scene of Jiang Baobao blushing and running away today, his mood, which had been jubilant all night, rippled once more.

It seems his efforts have finally had a little effect...

On the other side—

Jiang Baobao saw that he had sent two messages in a row, and after just a glance, she immediately tossed the phone aside, her cheeks unable to stop heating up again.

Who was worried about him!

Narcissist!

She just didn't want to feel too guilty, that's all!

Jiang Baobao complained loudly in her heart, but suddenly heard her phone ring again.

Thinking it was Li Beijue again, she irritably grabbed the phone.

But she saw a different name.

"Xinaijie?"

Jiang Baobao muttered softly, and as soon as she answered the call, she heard a familiar voice on the other end ask: "Baobao? I didn't disturb your rest, did I..."

"No, Xinaijie, are you back from your vacation?"

Jiang Baobao asked curiously.

"Yes." Liu Xin'ai replied, and seeing the driver pull the car over in the distance, she hurriedly asked: "Do you have time to meet tomorrow at noon?"

"Tomorrow at noon? Sure..." Jiang Baobao thought for two seconds and quickly agreed.

"Great, then let's talk when we meet tomorrow. I have some things to do, so I'll stop chatting for now."

After Liu Xin'ai finished speaking, she hung up the phone in a hurry.

Just as she put her phone away, Qin Yiyan's car happened to pull up in front of her.

"Young Madam, please get in the car."

The driver got out and opened the car door for her.

Liu Xin'ai nodded and got in, sitting next to Qin Yiyan.

Yet, just like this past period of time, the two of them had no communication.

Liu Xin'ai looked at the familiar street scene outside the window with an expressionless face, finally feeling a sense of security.

Finally back...

At least before the official wedding, she shouldn't have to keep meeting the guy beside her, right?

Her mood finally improved a little, and she had never looked forward to going home so urgently.

But after the car had been driving for half an hour, the surrounding scenery became increasingly unfamiliar.

Liu Xin'ai instantly glared at Qin Yiyan defensively.

"Where are we going? This is not the direction to my home!"
