Chapter 475: Li Beijue says, I am someone you can rely on
The study was perfectly silent.
Jiang Baobao did not speak, and Li Beijue did not urge her to continue.
After a long while, Jiang Baobao finally spoke: "I also started my investigation from that medicine... Originally, I wanted to find a skilled Doctor to examine my uncle again, but I didn't expect that the person Xiao Tang contacted would be his ex-girlfriend, Liu Xin'ai of the Liu Family; you should know her."
Upon hearing this, Li Beijue's gaze flickered for a moment, and he immediately understood.
No wonder she and Liu Xin'ai were so close...
Jiang Baobao paused for two seconds and continued: "Xinaijie discovered abnormal medicinal components in my uncle's body. I found a way to get the medicine my uncle was taking and confirmed it had a connection to the Lu Family. It is highly likely that he was poisoned into his current state, not because of a car accident, so..."
"So you want to cure his illness, and then... take back the Jiang Family, is that it?"
Li Beijue took the initiative to finish Jiang Baobao's sentence.
Jiang Baobao nodded silently.
She had never told anyone these things.
Even Cai Xiaotang only knew the surface details.
She did not want to drag any unrelated people into this.
But she hadn't expected that the feeling of saying it out loud... would actually... make her feel somewhat relieved.
Li Beijue looked at her heavy expression at this moment, feeling an indescribable heartache.
His heart stirred, and suddenly, he couldn't help but pull the person in front of him into his arms.
Jiang Baobao struggled subconsciously for a moment.
"Don't move."
Li Beijue stroked her long hair with amusement and said gently: "You don't need to think about this matter anymore. From now on... leave it all to me. I will help you investigate everything clearly and take back everything you want."
His tone was calm, yet it sounded determined, as if he were making a promise.
Jiang Baobao was stunned upon hearing this, and an indescribable emotion suddenly welled up in the bottom of her heart.
Immediately after, however, she shook her head gently.
She no longer resisted the warm embrace in front of her and said in a low voice: "This matter... I want to handle it myself."
The grudge against the Lu Family, she naturally had to avenge it with her own hands!
Li Beijue's movement of holding her paused slightly.
His eyes were full of worry, and after two seconds of silence, he sighed helplessly: "Then... at least don't refuse my help. I don't want to see you taking risks alone. Is that okay?"
Jiang Baobao's heart stirred slightly again, and a sweet feeling gently wound around the tip of her heart.
She did not speak, but nodded gently.
Seeing this, Li Beijue felt a bit more at ease, but then he saw the person in his arms yawn with some fatigue.
He couldn't help but chuckle and asked gently: "Shall I go heat up a glass of milk for you, and you go back to rest early?"
"Okay."
Jiang Baobao nodded and rose slightly.
Li Beijue, however, couldn't help but suddenly lean in and leave a light kiss on her forehead.
The gentle touch was fleeting.
Jiang Baobao was stunned for a moment, and by the time she came to her senses, Li Beijue had already turned and walked out.
The corners of her lips couldn't help but curl up, and she casually grabbed a sofa cushion from the side and leaned back against it.
When Li Beijue returned with the milk, he saw that someone had already fallen asleep leaning against the sofa.
"Are you that tired..."
He whispered with a hint of heartache, carefully set down the cup in his hand, and there was a faint hesitation in his eyes.
Since she had fallen asleep here...
Then tonight... would it be okay not to go back?
Li Beijue paused slightly, pondered for a moment, and finally couldn't help himself; he carefully picked up the person on the sofa and turned to head back to the bedroom.
Jiang Baobao was sleeping very soundly.
She only moved slightly when she was placed on the bed, then continued to sleep soundly.
Li Beijue carefully pulled her into his arms, his eyes filled with nothing but deep satisfaction.
Early the next morning—
When Jiang Baobao opened her eyes, she was not the least bit surprised.
Looking at the person still fast asleep in front of her, she moved slightly.
The next second, she felt the pair of hands still around her waist tighten instantly.
"Awake?"
Li Beijue's voice was somewhat hoarse; as he asked, he opened his eyes slightly and couldn't help but pull the warmth in his arms a little closer.
The entire bedroom was quiet, which inexplicably made one feel lazy and wanting to lie there for a while longer.
Jiang Baobao finally felt her face heat up, and she coughed lightly in embarrassment.
"I... fell asleep yesterday..."
Her tone was somewhat embarrassed, yet she didn't have any major dissatisfaction with the fact that the two of them had slept together.
"Hmm." Li Beijue hummed softly and suddenly laughed: "It's a good thing you fell asleep, which gave me the chance to keep you here..."
Jiang Baobao looked at him with amusement, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but curl up as well.
Then she heard Li Beijue suddenly say: "I suddenly thought of something yesterday. Since we've already tracked it to the Lu Family, why not bring your grandmother and uncle out first? That way it will be more convenient for you to take care of them..."
"Not yet."
Jiang Baobao shook her head: "If I could, I would have brought them out long ago, but if my uncle leaves the villa for too long, he will have an episode. His condition has only just shown a slight improvement with great difficulty, and I don't dare to take the risk..."
"In that case... it is indeed a bit difficult to handle..."
Li Beijue frowned slightly and hurriedly comforted Jiang Baobao, "Then let him stay there for the time being. If he shows significant recovery recently, it won't be too late to bring him out then..."
"Mm, that is what I was planning as well."
Jiang Baobao nodded, and looking at Li Beijue's serious expression, she was suddenly a bit moved.
Li Beijue... actually took her affairs so much to heart, considering so many things all by himself...
Just as she was thinking this, she heard Li Beijue speak again, "Then... when do you plan to move back to Li Mansion?"
Jiang Baobao did not expect him to ask this suddenly, and upon hearing it, she could not help but be slightly stunned.
Seeing that she did not immediately object, Li Beijue hurriedly tried to find reasons to persuade her.
"Living here, it is indeed quite far from the city center. It takes a long time to drive Yanbao and the others to kindergarten. If we move back to Li Mansion... they can sleep a little longer in the morning, and usually when Chen Xi comes to find me to handle work, it also takes a long time to go back..."
Seeing him trying hard to think of excuses, Jiang Baobao teased him on purpose, "Then why don't you take the three of them back, and I'll stay here?"
Li Beijue:...
Li Beijue was immediately speechless, and he said decisively, "I was just making a suggestion earlier; it's not impossible to stay here for the time being."
Jiang Baobao finally could not hold it in and burst into laughter.
Her heart felt soft and tender, and she finally relented, agreeing, "Then let's find time to move back recently. The few of them should want to move back too."
"Really?"
Li Beijue was rarely stunned for a moment, not expecting her to agree so readily.
Jiang Baobao held back her laughter and nodded.
Immediately after, she saw someone flip over and sit up from the bed at once!
Li Beijue took out his phone directly, and while dialing, he said at a rapid pace, "I'll call people over to move house right now; we'll go back today."
