Chapter 419: He Cares for You So Much

Hearing this, Jiang Baobao suddenly choked.

It wasn't quite right to say it looked good, nor was it right to say it looked bad.

She stood there for a long while, unable to come up with a suitable word to answer Li Beijue's question from just a moment ago.

Seeing her dazed expression, Li Beijue couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Aren't you going out? Hurry along then."

He let the person before him off the hook, his eyes filled with undisguised amusement and doting.

Only then did Jiang Baobao snap back to reality, nodding hurriedly: "Right, I still have things to do, I'm leaving first."

As she spoke, she turned around and got into the car, disappearing from Li Beijue's sight as if fleeing.

Not until she could no longer see his figure did she let out a long breath.

Jiang Baobao couldn't help but think of the morning's events again, a look of slight annoyance appearing on her face.

Why did she have to give him that?

Why did it have to be a tie!

Jiang Baobao shook her head vigorously, finally managing to push everything to the back of her mind.

She went straight to the dessert shop where they had agreed to meet; the moment she got out of the car, she saw Cai Xiaotang sitting by the window, waving at her.

Jiang Baobao hurried over with quick steps.

Cai Xiaotang also stood up excitedly: "How about that! Didn't expect me to arrive earlier than you, did you?"

As soon as they met, she happily linked her arm with Jiang Baobao's.

Jiang Baobao shook her head with a smile, pulled her to sit down at the side, and began to chat.

The two hadn't seen each other for a while; they sat and talked until nearly lunchtime, at which point they decided to change locations to continue.

Cai Xiaotang had long had her eye on a trendy restaurant that was popular lately and dragged Jiang Baobao straight there.

The two happily finished their lunch and then headed to a nearby shopping mall.

At the mall entrance—

Jiang Baobao was listening to Cai Xiaotang complain about how boring things had been lately, while her eyes quietly glanced toward the rear.

Not far behind her, two men dressed in casual clothes and wearing baseball caps were standing in front of a flower shop.

Jiang Baobao frowned sharply, her eyes instantly filling with wariness.

If she remembered correctly...

Those two men were also in the restaurant while they were eating earlier.

And now they had appeared here again...

Jiang Baobao hesitated for a moment, but said nothing, pretending she hadn't noticed, and continued chatting with Cai Xiaotang.

The two entered the mall laughing and talking, and naturally headed to the nearest cosmetics counter first.

Cai Xiaotang was focused on looking at the newly released lipsticks.

Jiang Baobao, meanwhile, pretended to be looking at eyeshadows while using the mirror in front of her to observe behind them.

Sure enough, she saw those two men again, standing in front of another shop not far behind them!

They were being followed!

Jiang Baobao finally confirmed her suspicion, a dark glint flashing through her eyes, and she walked toward Cai Xiaotang.

"Xiao Tang, come here for a second."

Jiang Baobao pulled Cai Xiaotang into a corner, and once she was sure the two men couldn't see them, she whispered quickly: "I need to tell you something, don't be nervous, we might be being followed..."

"Followed?" Cai Xiaotang was stunned, her expression instantly becoming much more serious as she scanned her surroundings vigilantly: "Who is following us? A man or a woman?"

"It's two men, right over there." Jiang Baobao pointed in the direction she had seen them earlier and described them carefully: "They're wearing casual clothes and black baseball caps. I noticed them while we were eating; they must have followed us all the way from the restaurant. I don't know what they're planning..."

"Huh? Followed us for this long?"

Cai Xiaotang looked surprised, but after saying that, she blinked, suddenly thinking of something.

"Wait a minute, you said... two men in baseball caps? Do they look quite tall, both over 1.8 meters?"

"How did you know?"

Jiang Baobao was taken aback.

No sooner had she finished speaking than she heard the person in front of her burst into laughter.

Cai Xiaotang pulled Jiang Baobao out, and sure enough, they saw the two men still standing there.

"Those two aren't following us; they're bodyguards Li Xiao arranged for me."

Cai Xiaotang explained with a laugh, and thinking of how serious they had both been just now, she wanted to laugh even more.

Jiang Baobao, however, was full of disbelief.

She stared at the two men for a good while longer before asking incredulously: "Bodyguards? This..."

Thinking of how wary she had been just now, Jiang Baobao couldn't help but feel both amused and frustrated.

She then couldn't help but tease: "It seems Li Xiao really cares for you deeply... sending bodyguards to follow you just for a shopping trip, and two of them at that!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the smile on Cai Xiaotang's face stiffened for a moment.

Caring or not...

That was to protect her own life!

Cai Xiaotang had grievances she couldn't voice, so she could only sigh helplessly to herself.

"Let's go, what's so interesting about them? Let's keep shopping."

Cai Xiaotang said, pulling Jiang Baobao along as they continued forward.

The two shopped for several hours and bought a pile of things, and it wasn't until dusk that they planned to head home.

At the mall entrance, Jiang Baobao couldn't help but take a few amused glances at the bodyguards in the distance.

"Since you have two big bodyguards following you, I won't see you off. Once you get home, remember to let me know."

Jiang Baobao said, turning to pull open the car door.

Cai Xiaotang hurriedly replied with a laugh: "Hurry up and go! If you like bodyguards so much, should I have Li Xiao send you two when I get back?"

Jiang Baobao immediately waved her hands: "No need for that! You can enjoy them slowly yourself!"

The two of them giggled and joked for a while longer, and only then did Jiang Baobao drive away.

Watching her drive off, Cai Xiaotang turned and walked toward the direction where she had parked her car.

But she suddenly saw an old woman selling flowers across the street, kneeling in a sorry state before a young man, seemingly begging for something.

"What's going on..."

Cai Xiaotang muttered to herself, and just as she was hesitating whether to go over and check the situation, the next second she saw the young man give a fierce kick, overturning all the flowers the old woman had brought!

"Damn! This is bullying people way too much!"

Cai Xiaotang's face instantly filled with displeasure, and without a moment's hesitation, she strode toward the other side of the street.

"Damn it, you old hag! If you can't pay the protection fee today, don't even think about selling flowers here!"

The man was still continuously hurling insults at the old woman.

As Cai Xiaotang walked closer and heard what he was saying, she became even more furious.

"Hey! What are you doing!"

She stepped forward directly to block the path in front of the old woman, glaring at the man in front of her.

The man clearly looked like someone not to be trifled with, and he roared at her: "None of your damn business! Stop sticking your nose into other people's business!"

Hearing this, Cai Xiaotang let out a cold snort.

Sensing that the old woman had already cautiously retreated behind her, she retorted even more loudly: "I'm going to stick my nose into your business today!"
