Chapter 498: Li Beijue

"Oh, oh, oh!!!"

Cai Xiaotang's jeering voice instantly grew louder.

A boom echoed in Jiang Baobao's ears, and her earlobes burned scorching hot in an instant.

The children were watching right there!

How could Li Beijue just kiss her like that!

She couldn't help but complain in a small voice in her heart, yet for some reason, her hands subconsciously wrapped tightly around the waist of the person in front of her.

Forget it... just this once...

Jiang Baobao thought, slowly closing her eyes.

A hint of a smile flashed in Li Beijue's eyes, and he instantly pulled her even closer.

He didn't do anything too excessive; he just gently and tenderly rubbed against her lips a few times with affection before pulling back slightly.

Seeing this, Cai Xiaotang immediately jeered from the side: "Why not kiss for a while longer? Are we being in the way here? Otherwise, we should just leave..."

Just as her voice fell, Li Xiao's voice also came from the stairs: "Finished kissing? I didn't see anything just now; do you want to kiss again?"

He had been miserably assigned by Cai Xiaotang to go downstairs to release pigeons and balloons, and had only just rushed back.

He hadn't expected to hear the jeering the moment he went upstairs, having already missed the most crucial scene.

"Cough..."

Jiang Baobao's face burned along with it, and she hurriedly broke free from Li Beijue's embrace.

"Why are you all here..."

She asked in a low voice, and after saying it, she already had the answer in her heart.

"Of course it's to help someone prepare for a proposal! Li Xiao and I came yesterday!"

Cai Xiaotang hurriedly replied.

Tiantian also hurriedly pulled on Jiang Baobao to explain: "We came with Daddy by helicopter this morning! It was faster than Mommy's plane!"

Jiang Baobao was suddenly caught between laughter and tears, not expecting everything to be arranged so tightly.

Even Cheng Hao was part of Li Beijue's proposal plan!

"Cheng Hao, you actually teamed up with them to lie to me! And you said something about coming out to relax..."

Jiang Baobao turned her head to look at Jiang Chenghao, who had been watching from the sidelines for a long time.

"The scenery here is so beautiful, it really is coming out to relax, and it doesn't conflict with you being proposed to."

Jiang Chenghao smiled gently, and thinking of the scene just now, he only felt comforted and at ease.

Baobao has someone to take care of her now... Big Brother, Sister-in-law, and Mother should be able to rest easy now...

Li Beijue gently held Jiang Baobao's hand, the tension on his face finally receding, leaving only relaxation and relief.

"Tell me, since the proposal was accepted, when do you plan to hold the wedding?"

Cai Xiaotang asked impatiently from the side, looking as if she couldn't wait to attend the wedding tomorrow.

Jiang Baobao glared at her indignantly, the heat on her face still not having faded.

Yet she heard Li Beijue answer dotingly: "Of course, I listen to Mrs. Li, but... I hope I don't have to wait too long."

Hearing this, the three little ones also joined in the fun: "Mommy! When do you plan to marry Daddy?"

Jiang Baobao's chaotic thoughts had not yet calmed down, her mind filled with the scene of Li Beijue kneeling to propose to her just now, so she hurriedly found a random excuse: "I haven't thought about it yet..."

Even though everyone around her was someone she knew, she didn't know why she was particularly nervous.

Immediately after her voice fell, she heard Cai Xiaotang tease in a cheeky tone: "When you get married doesn't matter; anyway, the two of you are already tied together now, so..."

She deliberately paused for a moment before continuing: "So Baobao, shouldn't you call me 'Third Aunt' now?"

"Cai! Xiao! Tang!"

Jiang Baobao hadn't expected her to dare use this title to tease her, so she immediately widened her eyes, lunged forward two steps, and made a move to beat her.

"Hey! How can you resort to violence just because you can't talk back to me!" Cai Xiaotang immediately turned and ran, not giving her a chance to touch her.

Jiang Baobao immediately chased after her without hesitation, followed by the three little ones who were watching the fun and weren't afraid of trouble.

Laughter and joy immediately filled the entire staircase.

The group bickered all the way until they reached the Main Hall.

Only then did they see that the dining table was already filled with delicious food, and chefs were busy going back and forth.

The air was filled with the aroma of food, instantly making the stomachs of the group who had been busy all day growl.

Li Beijue, Li Xiao, and Jiang Chenghao also walked down from upstairs.

The group sat down at the dining table.

Jiang Baobao and Cai Xiaotang were still bickering with each other.

The three little ones were also chattering and incredibly excited.

There were no outsiders present, so everyone was very relaxed.

After dinner, it had become completely dark outside.

Everyone tactfully did not disturb today's two protagonists.

The three little ones also followed Jiang Chenghao out to see the sea, leaving enough space for their Daddy and Mommy.

In the hallway.

Jiang Baobao was nestled in Li Beijue's arms with a flushed face, being carried by him step by step toward the room at the end.

"Otherwise, you should just put me down..."

She said in a low voice, her heartbeat so fast it was almost jumping out of her throat.

Just as they turned the corner, Li Beijue had picked her up without a word.

Jiang Baobao had not resisted at first, but for some reason, the closer they got to the door at the end of the hallway, the more her whole body went limp.

"I just want to hold you like this."

Li Beijue spoke in a deep voice, his tone carrying a heavy sense of amusement, yet the tail end of his words held an indescribable ambiguity.

Jiang Baobao had no choice but to bury her head in his chest, listening to his steady, powerful heartbeat, and slowly closed her eyes.

With her vision restricted, her sense of hearing became even more acute.

She heard a "click."

It was the sound of the room door being opened.

The room seemed to be carpeted, making the footsteps much lighter.

Li Beijue looked at the person in his arms who had turned into a "little quail," deliberately leaned into her ear, and whispered, "Do you... want to take a bath first?"

"W-whatever..."

Jiang Baobao's eyelashes were trembling with nervousness as she threw out an answer.

Li Beijue chuckled softly, held her, and turned to enter the bathroom.

The sound of flowing water accompanied by rising steam masked all the ambiguous noises.

One hour later—

Jiang Baobao finally lay down on the soft bed.

But before she could speak, a warmth covered her lips again.

"Mm... so sleepy..."

She muttered in dissatisfaction.

"Then close your eyes and rest, leave everything to me..."

Li Beijue said with a hoarse voice, kissing her eyes with a doting tone, his eyes filled with an unsuppressed possessiveness.

Her scent... he had thought about it for too long.

Thinking this, he immediately lowered his head and kissed her, with a hint of dominance and countless tender entanglements, instantly sweeping through all the nerves in her brain...

The cold moonlight shone through the window screen onto the two figures entangled on the bed, which seemed to have been dyed scorching hot.

The night was still long.
