Chapter 453: Baobao, I'll Listen to Everything You Say

~7 min read 1,349 words

Jiang Baobao always felt like something wasn't quite right; while thinking this, she observed the expressions of these few people.

Immediately, she saw them winking at each other, not knowing what kind of information they were passing along, yet their gazes still drifted toward Shen Lingfeng from time to time.

Jiang Baobao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt even more puzzled.

Then, she suddenly felt that there seemed to be something not quite right with herself.

Isn't it a good thing that they aren't teasing?

Why does she care so much...

Could it be that she actually hopes they will tease?

Jiang Baobao's head was a bit of a mess, and she was too lazy to think about it anymore.

Just at this moment—

"Buzz—" Shen Lingfeng's phone suddenly began to vibrate frantically.

"You guys eat first, I'm going to take a call."

He picked up his phone, stood up, and left, walking in the direction of the training room.

Jiang Baobao subconsciously glanced at his back, and suddenly also sensed something strange.

Ling Feng today... seems to have not said a word the whole time...

It's not just today.

He has spoken very little these past few days, as if he has something on his mind...

Could it be that he has encountered some trouble?

Jiang Baobao thought this, and immediately felt a bit uneasy, wanting to stand up right away.

"I'll go take a look..."

She had just made a move when she was suddenly grabbed by the wrist.

Li Beijue placed a shrimp in Jiang Baobao's plate and curled his lips at her.

Then he suddenly leaned into her ear.

In a voice that only the two of them could hear, he whispered: "If it's about the Team, he will take the initiative to tell you; if it's his private business, and you are so concerned, I will be jealous."

Li Beijue spoke straightforwardly, without any concealment.

Jiang Baobao's whole body stiffened abruptly; feeling the scorching breath falling on her ear as he spoke, her back suddenly couldn't help but go numb.

Her gaze flickered for an instant, but in the end, she still gave Li Beijue an annoyed look and sat down obediently, though the corners of her mouth couldn't help but lift slightly, and a trace of sweet waves stirred in her heart.

This guy has actually learned how to be jealous now?

She and Ling Feng are just colleagues, okay?

What is there to be jealous about...

Jiang Baobao muttered to herself in her heart, trying hard to maintain a serious expression.

The others took in the interaction between the two just now without a sound, and then began to communicate with their eyes, all having the same answer in their hearts to their original question.

Judging by the atmosphere between the boss and the big sponsor right now...

Brother Shen's secret crush is likely a lost cause...

The expressions of the few were all somewhat complex.

Then they heard Mobai suddenly say loudly: "Daddy, we can't go to the venue to watch the competition tomorrow, you must cheer for Mommy well on our behalf!"

Tomorrow is not the weekend, and the little ones all have to go to school obediently, so upon hearing this, they couldn't help but show very regretful expressions.

Li Beijue was just about to agree when he heard Jiang Baobao suddenly say nervously: "Don't you have a very important meeting tomorrow? You'd better focus on work; there's no need to take time off specifically for the competition. Anyway, there will be a broadcast later, so you can watch it then."

As Jiang Baobao spoke, her eyes were fixed on Li Beijue, with a warning written in the depths of her eyes.

If only Li Beijue goes to watch the competition tomorrow, then she absolutely cannot let her guard down!

What if he says something random to the reporters during an interview again?

So it would be better to just nip it in the bud and forbid him from appearing at the competition venue!

Jiang Baobao thought this, and seeing that Li Beijue didn't speak, she hurriedly gave him a look.

Li Beijue couldn't help but want to laugh, understanding her meaning, and only then did he nod.

Seeing him agree, Jiang Baobao instantly breathed a sigh of relief, but before she could relax, she heard him continue unhurriedly: "Then I'll listen to you. If you tell me to go, I'll go; if you say don't go, I won't. After the competition ends, I'll come to attend the victory celebration."

His tone was doting, as if no matter what Jiang Baobao said, he would obediently follow her instructions.

"Oh..."

Xiao Ding finally couldn't hold it in and let out a tease.

The expressions of the others also finally couldn't help but become a bit gossipy.

If the actions of the two just now were only a bit intimate, then Li Beijue's words were enough to indicate something.

Jiang Baobao quickly scanned the few people, then coughed lightly, said nothing more, and did not object to Li Beijue coming to the victory celebration.

The dining table returned to lively laughter and chatter.

The next day.

The final match of the "Dream Island" Asian region round of sixteen to eight started on time at four in the afternoon.

Jiang Baobao's state of mind was relaxed; watching her own team members perform steadily, they still took two points first in the best-of-three, successfully ending the match and achieving the good result of first place.

After finishing the interviews with major media outlets, the group walked out of the venue laughing and chatting, said goodbye to the fans gathered at the entrance, and then boarded the bus.

"Boss, how about it? Where are we going for the victory celebration today? I can't wait! I want to have a blast tonight!"

As soon as Ano got on the bus, he couldn't wait to pester Jiang Baobao with questions.

Jiang Baobao shook her head with amusement, and then answered helplessly: "I don't know either. Yesterday your Brother Shen said the victory celebration would be arranged by him, and except for the address, it was completely kept secret from me, so I'm very curious right now too."

As Jiang Baobao spoke, she sent the address to Li Beijue, then looked at Shen Lingfeng and asked: "Ling Feng, what kind of place is that exactly?"

Shen Lingfeng stared blankly out the window, seemingly lost in thought.

"Ling Feng?"

Jiang Baobao patted his shoulder.

Only then did Shen Lingfeng snap back to reality, turning his head to look at Jiang Baobao as he said, "This... is of course a secret; you'll know once we arrive."

Hearing this, Xiao Ding immediately shook his head and sighed with affectation: "Sigh... since when did Brother Shen learn to keep people in suspense? I guess we'll just have to wait then."

The group was noisy and boisterous, all celebrating today's victory.

Jiang Baobao did not ask any further, simply waiting to see once they reached their destination.

But unexpectedly, an hour later—

She saw a small, elegantly decorated manor slowly appear before her eyes.

"Wow, we aren't going to be staying here for the next few days, are we?"

Someone had already noticed something amiss and was leaning against the car window with great interest.

Jiang Baobao was also somewhat surprised and hurriedly tugged at Shen Lingfeng's arm: "Ling Feng, did you book this? How did you suddenly think of coming to a place like this?"

Shen Lingfeng's gaze flickered for an instant, his eyes falling quietly onto the hand Jiang Baobao had on his arm.

Only then did he reply in a low voice: "It's nothing, I just wanted everyone to come here to relax and change their mood."

"Fine... no wonder you kept it so well hidden, refusing to reveal a single word."

Jiang Baobao shook her head with a smile, but as she looked at Shen Lingfeng's expression, a strange feeling flashed through her heart.

Ling Feng... he really seems to have something on his mind lately...
