Chapter 439: Baobao, be good, put your clothes on

The temperature in the room gradually rose.

The person in Li Beijue's arms also slowly opened their eyes.

"Mmm..."

Jiang Baobao let out a small whimper, instantly pulling back all of Li Beijue's reason.

He abruptly pulled away to create distance between the two of them, his chest rising and falling shallowly from the kiss just now, and he looked at Jiang Baobao with a nervous expression, a bit worried that she would get angry.

But he didn't expect that the person who had just woken up from a dream would only squint their eyes, seemingly sizing up the environment they were in.

Then, the next second—

She directly pulled down the clothing on her shoulder!

"Baobao..."

Li Beijue was stunned for a moment, his gaze subconsciously falling onto her snow-white shoulder.

Jiang Baobao, however, muttered with dissatisfaction: "So hot..."

As she spoke, she reached her hand toward the buttons at her neckline again!

That nightgown was already very loose to begin with; if the buttons were undone...

Li Beijue's gaze flickered for an instant, he snapped back to his senses, and hurriedly used his quick reflexes to block her movements!

"Baobao, you still have a fever, you can't just take off your clothes..."

Li Beijue acted as if he were coaxing a small child, not daring to speak loudly, and attempted to tuck her back into the quilt.

Jiang Baobao, however, could not take in a single word.

She kept her eyes half-closed, struggling to break free from Li Beijue's hand that was holding her, and kept muttering in her mouth: "Hot... stomach... hurts..."

Jiang Baobao only felt that she was uncomfortable everywhere, and just wanted to be a little cooler.

Li Beijue had no other choice; seeing her making such a fuss, he simply stood up, pulled her over, and pressed her firmly into his arms!

"Baobao, you have to be good, you still have a fever, you'll catch a cold like this..."

Li Beijue coaxed the person in his arms in a low voice, his tone filled with a gentleness and patience he had never shown before, which even surprised himself.

It was just a pity—

Jiang Baobao did not buy this at all.

She kept twisting her body, still feeling uncomfortable everywhere, and after being quiet for less than a minute, she immediately wanted to undo her buttons again!

"Hot as hell..."

She kept muttering, reaching out to tug at her neckline.

Li Beijue's gaze flickered for an instant, and having unintentionally swept over her snow-white skin, he immediately felt it was even harder to endure; as if he had been infected, his breathing gradually became scorching.

He closed his eyes, struggling to maintain his remaining reason.

The next second—

He felt a pair of fiery little hands drill inside his clothes!

"Mmm... so cool..."

Jiang Baobao suddenly let out a small, comfortable sigh; Li Beijue's body temperature was on the lower side, and for her right now, he was the best "cooling agent."

The "cooling agent" himself instantly went rigid, not daring to move a muscle.

Jiang Baobao's hands, however, were not well-behaved; after sweeping around his waist, they continued to grope upward, pressing against his chest.

Those hands seemed to have magic; wherever they were placed, they made Li Beijue feel as if the skin there was slightly tingling.

"Hoo..."

Li Beijue didn't even dare to breathe; he didn't know how long he had been holding it in before he finally let out a long breath, his eyes filled with suppressed, raging waves.

Was tonight a test for him?

If she weren't still sick, he really might not have been able to resist...

Li Beijue was just thinking this when he suddenly felt the little hand that had been resting obediently on his chest suddenly start moving slowly downward again, passing over his waist.

"Boom!"

Li Beijue felt the last taut string in his head snap in an instant.

He abruptly grabbed the hand that was causing trouble everywhere and pressed it back onto his chest, his face showing only helplessness.

Any man, surely, could not withstand the woman he likes teasing him like this, right?

And yet, the other party didn't have the slightest self-awareness...

Li Beijue struggled to calm the restlessness in his body, holding the person in his arms tightly.

Not long after—

The fever-reducing medicine she had taken earlier took effect.

Jiang Baobao finally fell into a deep sleep once more.

The heavy stone in Li Beijue's heart finally landed, and after confirming she was sleeping soundly, he carefully let go and turned to head to the bathroom alone.

"Splash—"

Water splashed onto the floor, without a trace of mist.

Li Beijue let the cold water wash over his body, and thinking of the scene of intimacy just now, he couldn't help but let out a soft laugh.

Thanks to someone's arrangement...

He finally understood tonight what is called... "sweet torture."

Li Beijue quickly finished his cold shower and returned to the bed.

But he saw that the person who had been sleeping peacefully just a moment ago had curled up again in this short time.

Jiang Baobao's brows were tightly furrowed, and she seemed very uncomfortable.

Li Beijue carefully climbed back onto the bed and once again circled her into his arms.

"It hurts..."

Jiang Baobao frowned and murmured softly.

Li Beijue suddenly thought of something; he tentatively placed his palm on the lower abdomen she had been clutching and rubbed it gently.

"Does this feel a bit better..."

He asked in a low voice.

Jiang Baobao did not give him an answer, but her brows relaxed significantly in an instant.

A hint of a smile couldn't help but flash in Li Beijue's eyes; he pulled her tighter, continued the movement of his hand, and lowered his head to plant a light kiss on her forehead.

"Sleep, I am here with you..."

Late at night—

Inside a hotel room.

Lu Qing'er was sitting on the sofa with her arms crossed, looking at the several men in front of her with an expressionless face.

"I said, I have already paid the money that was due; you won't get a single cent more than what you want!"

Lu Qing'er felt somewhat uneasy, but she deliberately put on a fearless expression.

She had come out alone to clear her head today, but she didn't expect to encounter a rainstorm, so she simply found a hotel to stay at.

But she didn't expect that the group of people from before had actually been tailing her the whole time, had followed her directly into the hotel, and even blocked the door!

Seeing the other party holding her mobile phone, a flash of panic couldn't help but cross Lu Qing'er's eyes.

The man in the lead gave a cold snort, his expression somewhat disdainful.

"Miss Lu, it seems that wasn't what we agreed upon at the beginning. You borrowed people from our boss and only said it was to help you handle matters, but you didn't say it was a one-way trip..."

The man spoke sarcastically, his tone laced with a hint of gloom.

Lu Qing'er's eyes flickered for a moment, and she immediately defended herself: "I wasn't the one who sent them inside, it was Li Beijue! If you want your people, go directly to the Li Family! And Jiang Baobao! If it weren't for her, your people wouldn't have gone in!"

Lu Qing'er wanted to wash her hands of the whole affair.

But the other party wasn't buying it at all.

The man gave a cold snort and sat on the edge of the bed with a rogue's expression: "Why would I go look for someone else? Since I took your money to do things for you, naturally I have to look for you in the end! Miss Lu, our patience is limited. I advise you to stop talking nonsense and hurry up to scrape together twenty million in cash so we can go back and report, otherwise..."

The man deliberately left his sentence unfinished, the threatening tone in his voice obvious.

Lu Qing'er suddenly stood up and shouted: "You want that much money, why don't you just go rob someone!"

What a joke!

Where was she supposed to come up with twenty million?
