Chapter 459: Li Beijue Has Arrived

The atmosphere was awkward.

Jiang Baobao and Cai Xiaotang were both stunned on the spot, their expressions blank and dumbfounded.

Oh!

Li Xiao stood on the stairs, also stunned for a moment, seemingly unable to react in time.

Only then did he snap back to his senses, tugging at his collar with a look of slight embarrassment, and said apologetically to Jiang Baobao: "Sorry, I forgot there was someone else in the house; I rarely have visitors here..."

Jiang Baobao also snapped back to her senses and hurriedly apologized: "It is I who disturbed you. I suddenly remembered that there are still some things to handle at the Team, so I will head back after breakfast."

"Huh? Baobao, weren't you going to stay here for two days?"

Cai Xiaotang finally found her voice and looked at Jiang Baobao in confusion.

Jiang Baobao gave her a speechless look.

How could she dare to stay any longer?

Today was just an accidental glimpse of Li Xiao in disarray; if she were to stay any longer...

Jiang Baobao dared not think further, couldn't help but want to laugh, and hurriedly said: "There really is some work to handle at the Team..."

"The competition is temporarily over, what work could there be to handle? Are you becoming distant with me?"

Cai Xiaotang had not lived with Jiang Baobao for a long time, so naturally, she was unwilling to let her leave just like that.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiao felt helpless inside.

He had come down like this on purpose, firstly to tease someone.

Secondly, because he knew that Jiang Baobao was a smart person.

Facing such an awkward situation, she would certainly not take the initiative to stay.

His place was indeed not suitable for outsiders to stay long-term.

Just as Li Xiao was thinking this, he didn't expect that in the next second, he would hear Cai Xiaotang say to him with annoyance: "What are you still standing there for! Showing off your abs? Hurry up and go back to change your clothes!"

Li Xiao was stunned by her shout and had no choice but to turn around and go upstairs helplessly.

Jiang Baobao watched his back disappear around the corner of the stairs with amusement, then deliberately asked: "Do you really want me to stay? You two are still in your honeymoon period... It wouldn't be good for me to stay here and disturb you, right?"

"What disturbance? We two..."

Cai Xiaotang pondered how to keep Jiang Baobao to accompany her.

But before she could finish, seeing the mischievous look in her eyes, she realized something instantly and hurriedly explained: "Don't get the wrong idea! His clothes being ruined isn't what you think; it's just that when I got up this morning, I accidentally..."

"Alright, alright! You don't need to explain such things to me!"

Jiang Baobao interrupted her with amusement, deliberately covering her ears as she teased: "It's enough for me to know that you two have a good relationship; I don't want to hear about your privacy!"

"I..."

Cai Xiaotang was suddenly speechless, completely at a loss for what to say, and could only glare at the direction of the upstairs with annoyance.

It was all that guy Li Xiao's fault!

Couldn't he have changed his clothes before coming down!

Maybe he did it on purpose!

Cai Xiaotang withdrew her gaze speechlessly and pulled Jiang Baobao to sit down at the dining table.

Not long after, Li Xiao had changed into a new set of clothes and walked down from upstairs.

As soon as he approached the dining table, he heard Cai Xiaotang still trying to persuade Jiang Baobao: "Baobao, just stay here and keep me company; I'm so bored here all by myself..."

"By yourself? Isn't there still me?"

Li Xiao took over the conversation with amusement, pulled out a chair, and sat down beside her.

"But you have times when you aren't home."

Cai Xiaotang retorted unhurriedly, then suddenly put on a deliberately aggrieved look: "Although there are many bodyguards here, Baobao is my best friend. She finally came to see me, and I just want to keep her here for two days..."

She deliberately acted spoiled toward Li Xiao, knowing this trick would definitely work.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiao's eyes flickered for a moment, and he raised his eyebrows slightly.

This was already a "customary tactic" between the two of them.

He shook his head inwardly with amusement, deliberately reached out to pinch the tip of Cai Xiaotang's nose, and replied dotingly: "Of course you can; this is your home too, and you have the freedom to let anyone stay."

The two were as thick as thieves, looking like they were stuck together.

Jiang Baobao couldn't help but feel her scalp tingle as she listened.

Can these two show off any more?

She really hadn't known before... that this is what Xiao Tang would be like when she had someone she liked...

She sighed inwardly, not noticing the flash of annoyance on Cai Xiaotang's face.

Cai Xiaotang quickly put some distance between herself and Li Xiao, then said rapidly: "Baobao, then just stay here for two more days. It just so happens I have a lot to talk to you about, and I'll stay with you tonight!"

Cai Xiaotang's little scheme was clicking away, her face full of triumph.

This way she could chat with Baobao and wouldn't have to stay in the same room as that guy!

It was simply killing two birds with one stone!

Seeing her eager expression, Jiang Baobao had no choice but to agree: "Alright then, I'll stay one more day to keep you company, but one day at most. If I don't go back tomorrow, Mobai and the others will have something to say."

"Yay, one more day is better than nothing!" Cai Xiaotang agreed with a grin.

Just as the words left her lips, they suddenly heard the villa's doorbell being pressed.

All three of them subconsciously turned their heads to look toward the entrance.

Li Xiao's expression was also somewhat puzzled.

No outsiders knew about his residence here.

If it were a subordinate looking for him, they would have called in advance to make contact...

Li Xiao's gaze flickered for a moment, and he suddenly realized something.

The several bodyguards in the room did not move, as if they had not heard the doorbell, and all looked at Li Xiao, waiting for his instructions.

Jiang Baobao looked around, and suddenly could not help but feel a bit strange.

Why were they all looking at Li Xiao, and no one went to open the door?

Did opening the door really require Li Xiao's permission?

This was just too...

Jiang Baobao frowned slightly, unable to say exactly what was strange about it.

Only then did she see Li Xiao nod slightly.

One of the bodyguards then walked to the entrance and pulled the door open.

"President Li?"

Seeing the person outside the door, the bodyguard was suddenly stunned.

The three people in the dining room were also somewhat surprised.

"Li Beijue is here?"

Cai Xiaotang asked subconsciously.

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Li Beijue walk in with his usual expression.

Li Xiao stood up and looked at Li Beijue at the door with a smile, his face showing not a trace of surprise.

Li Beijue, however, looked subconsciously in the direction of Jiang Baobao.

Their gazes met in the air for an instant, and Jiang Baobao pretended to be nonchalant and continued to lower her head to eat breakfast.

"Baobao, so you are here."

Li Beijue pretended to be completely unaware.

"Mm, I... came to chat with Xiao Tang."

Jiang Baobao replied, and thinking of yesterday's events, her expression was slightly awkward.

Why did Li Beijue suddenly come here?

Did he come specifically to find her?
