Chapter 444: Li Beijue Has Been Thinking of You

The expression on Gu Ruohan's face suddenly became very colorful, and he couldn't help but glance at Li Beijue opposite him with suspicion and uncertainty.

It seems that saying is truly correct... The colder a man is, the more likely he is to be a jealous mess once he has someone he likes!

It really found the best verification in him!

Gu Ruohan thought, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration and asked Jiang Baobao: "By the way, Beijue is also playing this game; didn't you two play together?"

"Is that so?" Jiang Baobao was stunned upon hearing this, looking at Li Beijue with some surprise.

Li Beijue instantly realized what Gu Ruohan wanted to say and hurriedly tried to stop him with his eyes.

But it was already too late.

Gu Ruohan, as if his chatterbox had been suddenly opened, said excitedly: "Yeah! I went to his office to find him a while ago and discovered he was actually playing a game! Do you know how surprised I was at the time? I practically suspected he had been swapped! I've known him for so many years, and I've never seen him do anything in his office other than look at documents and listen to reports from his subordinates!"

Listening to this, Jiang Baobao's expression was also somewhat surprised, and even the three little ones on the side found it unbelievable.

"Gu Ruohan..." Li Beijue gritted his teeth as he looked at the person opposite him, his face full of warning.

Jiang Baobao, however, seemed to have sensed something and deliberately pressed further: "You discovered he was playing games in the office, and then?"

Li Beijue immediately looked helpless.

Gu Ruohan acted even more innocent: "This isn't what I wanted to say; you're the one who asked..."

He deliberately glanced at Li Beijue before continuing: "Then I discovered he was playing way too poorly; he couldn't even beat the small monsters in the Novice Village. He was dying over and over again. I couldn't help but want to give him a hand, but he insisted on doing it himself. I thought you two would have added each other as friends, but it seems... you didn't reach the level to add friends and gave up?"

"No."

Li Beijue subconsciously denied it. Thinking of how he had busied himself all afternoon that day only to not even see Jiang Baobao's name in the game, he glared at Gu Ruohan in a rage.

Gu Ruohan paused, suddenly realizing something.

If he had persisted until reaching the level to add friends, but Jiang Baobao had no idea about this at all...

Could it be that she had rejected it without even thinking?

It's over...

Did I stir up trouble?

Seeing the "murderous intent" gradually rising in Li Beijue's eyes, Gu Ruohan stood up without a second word.

"Um... I... I've eaten just about enough. Let's chat again when there's a chance. I have an appointment with a patient this afternoon, so I'll head back first!"

As he spoke, Gu Ruohan greased his heels without hesitation, quickly pulled open the door to the private room, and disappeared from before them.

Jiang Baobao was left stunned by his impulsive personality, and by the time she came to her senses, Gu Ruohan had long since vanished.

She pondered for two seconds, then realized something and suddenly couldn't help but want to laugh.

Li Beijue was tormented by small monsters in the Novice Village... just because he wanted to add her as a friend?

But if she remembered correctly... her friend list was already full, and it was impossible to add anyone.

It seems that day... he must have "hit a wall."

Jiang Baobao quietly observed the person beside her from the corner of her eye, suddenly unable to stop herself from wanting to laugh.

Just then, Yanbao asked with a straight face: "Daddy, didn't you teach me that I shouldn't be distracted when working or studying? How could you be playing games in the office?"

"Pfft..."

Jiang Baobao finally couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.

Li Beijue's expression, however, was one of unprecedented embarrassment.

Gu Ruohan!

Next time the Gu family calls him to persuade him to go on blind dates, he will personally pick out several more candidates for that guy!

"Ahem..."

Seeing the uncomfortable look on a certain someone's face, Jiang Baobao hurriedly reined in her laughter, though her eyes were still smiling as she looked at the person in front of her.

For some reason, she suddenly felt that Li Beijue like this was a little... cute?

These two words popped into Jiang Baobao's mind, and she was immediately startled by her own thought.

What are you thinking?

How could Li Beijue, this big iceberg, possibly be cute?

Although... he isn't an iceberg at all anymore.

But he still has absolutely nothing to do with the word "cute"!

Jiang Baobao thought, then suddenly had a change of heart and deliberately said with a straight face: "After the competition ends, if there's time and you want to play games, I can teach you. It just so happens I should clear out my friend list anyway."

"Okay." Li Beijue agreed instantly, his expression somewhat pleasantly surprised.

The three little ones were also a bit surprised and looked at each other.

Mommy actually offered to teach Daddy how to play games!

It feels like the relationship between the two of them is even better than before!

After lunch, the two of them took the three little ones and returned to the Base.

Jiang Baobao still had work to handle, so she locked herself in her room as soon as she entered.

Just as she was about to start processing the videos she hadn't finished watching yesterday, she heard her phone ring.

"Xinaijie?"

Seeing Liu Xin'ai's name, Jiang Baobao hurriedly answered the call.

"Xinaijie, are there results for the medicine I sent for testing earlier?"

Jiang Baobao asked straight to the point as soon as she picked up.

On the other end of the line, Liu Xin'ai's tone was even more anxious.

"Yes, the results are out. This medicine..."

She paused for two seconds before saying: "The ingredients of this medicine are similar to those from back then, but they aren't exactly the same; it has been improved. If the one back then was just a failed drug, then this improved version is a complete, thorough poison! It contains many psychoactive ingredients that cause brain damage. If taken long-term, it will definitely cause an impact; it's impossible for them to remain a normal person!"

"What?"

Jiang Baobao was stunned for a moment.

Liu Xin'ai's tone, however, became even more grave: "Baobao, we must not only cure Cheng Hao, but also find a way to figure out where this drug actually comes from, who is developing it, and how the Lu Family obtained it? It is even possible... that they are involved in its production and sale..."

Jiang Baobao's palm, holding the phone, was sweating slightly, and she instantly understood what Liu Xin'ai meant.

If the Lu Family was truly involved in the production of this drug and had used it on her uncle...

Then things would become complicated.

The Jiang Family's company and the majority of the equity under her uncle's name were all in the hands of the Lu Family, but the legal representative was her uncle.

If they really wanted to do something, or had already done something, it would be incredibly easy to pin it on her uncle!

It was precisely because of this that Grandmother dared not leave the Old Residence, living in the dilapidated Flower Room in the backyard and letting them bully her!

In this way, her uncle was also more easily controlled by them...

Jiang Baobao's ears were buzzing; she subconsciously gritted her teeth, and a flash of intense hatred flickered in her eyes.

Then she heard Liu Xin'ai's voice coming from the phone again.

"Baobao? Are you still listening? Baobao?"
