Chapter 619: Li Xiao, are you trying to send me away?

Late at night—in the quiet bedroom, a sudden exclamation rang out!

Jiang Baobao sat up abruptly from the bed, her head covered in cold sweat, gasping for breath continuously.

The next second, the bedside lamp turned on.

Li Beijue sat up as well, pulling her directly into his arms.

"What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare? I'm right here..."

He gently patted Jiang Baobao's back, looking at her with some concern.

Jiang Baobao did not speak for a long time; after calming down for a while, she slowly leaned into Li Beijue's embrace.

"I... just had a very bad dream."

She spoke in a low voice, her tone sounding somewhat hoarse.

"What did you dream about?" Li Beijue asked gently.

Jiang Baobao did not speak; after a good while, she replied softly: "I dreamt... that on the way to our wedding, we were inexplicably blocked by someone. They were carrying weapons and wanted to hijack our car. Xiao Tang and Li Xiao were there too, and then..."

She stopped halfway through, not wanting to continue.

The terrifying images from the dream still lingered vaguely in her mind, leaving her with lingering fear.

Li Beijue knew this was the psychological trauma left by the kidnapping from some time ago, and he felt incredibly pained, hurriedly soothing her: "Baobao, it's okay. Isn't it said that dreams and reality are opposites? You dreaming of this now just means that on the day of our wedding, everything will go smoothly, and nothing will happen..."

As he spoke, he lowered his head and kissed Jiang Baobao's forehead lightly.

Jiang Baobao, however, looked at Li Beijue somewhat blankly, still not quite having come back to her senses.

Li Beijue had no choice but to hold her as they lay down, covering her eyes with his hand.

"Alright, don't let your mind wander. With me here, you don't have to be afraid of anything. Now it's time to sleep..."

Li Beijue coaxed the person in his arms in a soft whisper, pulling her even tighter.

Jiang Baobao nestled in his arms, nodded obediently, and closed her eyes again.

Although her mind was still somewhat messy, she felt incomparably at ease.

Not long after, she fell into a deep sleep once more.

Li Beijue, however, had no sleepiness at all; he just frowned slightly, carefully watching the movements of the person in his arms, and kept his eyes open until dawn.

Jiang Baobao slept very soundly this time.

By the time she woke up completely, it was already past breakfast time.

Realizing she was still being held in his arms, she struggled slightly and looked up at Li Beijue, somewhat puzzled.

"Why are you still here? Don't you need to go to the company today?"

"No, I'll stay home today to keep you company."

Li Beijue put down the book in his left hand and tidied the stray hair by Jiang Baobao's ear.

Jiang Baobao's eyes flickered for a moment, and she instantly understood something; her expression suddenly became somewhat conflicted.

"Sorry, I made you worry again... Actually, I'm fine, I'll be better after a while."

As she apologized, she reached out and wrapped her arms around Li Beijue's waist.

Li Beijue smiled and held her hand: "Why are you apologizing to me? You feel uneasy, so it's only right that I stay to keep you company. Are you hungry? If you're hungry, let's go downstairs for breakfast..."

"Okay."

Jiang Baobao smiled sweetly, and the two of them lingered in bed for a while longer before going downstairs together.

The three little ones had already been sent to school by Zheng Bo.

Jiang Baobao made some food herself, and then she and Li Beijue carried the trays back upstairs.

As soon as they entered the room, Li Beijue suddenly suggested: "Baobao, I have an idea. During the time before we get married, how about letting Cai Xiaotang come stay at the house to keep you company?"

"Let Xiao Tang come? You mean let her live here?"

Jiang Baobao was somewhat surprised.

Li Beijue nodded: "That's what I'm planning. Your mental state has been too tense lately. With her around, I think you'll be able to relax a bit more."

Jiang Baobao's eyes lit up immediately: "If she's willing, of course that would be great! But..."

She hesitated halfway through her sentence.

Xiao Tang is probably busy figuring out how to pursue Li Xiao these days... She probably wouldn't want to come live here, right?

Just as Jiang Baobao was thinking this, she heard Li Beijue say: "I'll go call Li Xiao and ask."

As he spoke, he had already turned and left quickly.

Li Beijue went straight to the study and made a call to Li Xiao.

"You want Xiao Tang to come stay at your place?"

Li Xiao hesitated for a moment after hearing Li Beijue's idea.

Li Beijue then explained to Li Xiao what he had just told Jiang Baobao.

Immediately after, he heard Li Xiao agree after hesitating for less than two seconds: "Alright, it's settled then. I'll send Xiao Tang over tomorrow."

"Mm, see you tomorrow."

Li Beijue hung up the phone decisively.

Li Xiao put down his phone and felt an inexplicable sense of relief.

It would be good for Xiao Tang to live at Li Mansion for a while...

This way, it would also save her from trying to find ways to get close to him every day...

Since some feelings are destined to go unrequited, perhaps being apart for a while will allow her to calm down.

Just as Li Xiao was thinking this, he suddenly heard someone ask from outside the door: "Where are you sending me tomorrow?"

Cai Xiaotang walked in carrying coffee, having just happened to hear the last sentence Li Xiao said.

Li Xiao hadn't figured out how to tell her yet; he was stunned for a moment before hurriedly saying: "It was a call from Beijue, saying he hopes you can go to Li Mansion to keep Jiang Baobao company for a while before they get married..."

"Why didn't you discuss it with me?"

Upon hearing this, Cai Xiaotang instantly frowned, looking at Li Xiao with some dissatisfaction.

Li Xiao was also stunned by her question, and asked back in confusion: "You don't want to go?"

"Of course not!"

Cai Xiaotang answered immediately, and after speaking, she still frowned unhappily at Li Xiao.

How could she not be willing to go accompany Baobao?

It was just that for this kind of thing, why did he agree directly without discussing it with her first?

Shouldn't he have asked for her opinion first?

Cai Xiaotang had always been straightforward, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she became, so she simply asked directly: "Do you feel that I'm bothering you at home? So you're impatient to send me away?"

Her tone was a bit sharp, and after she finished speaking, even she herself was stunned for a moment, and the expression on her face could not help but show some annoyance.

Why did she say it so harshly?

Li Xiao clearly didn't mean that at all...

Li Xiao looked innocent as expected: "I just thought you two are good friends, and you certainly wouldn't refuse; if you don't want to go, I can call and decline for you right now."

"No need!"

Cai Xiaotang hurriedly stopped him upon hearing this, and feeling unhappy inside, she really didn't know what to say, so she simply turned and left in a fit of anger, stomping on the floor with a thud-thud sound, yet she still couldn't vent her frustration.

So annoying!

Would it kill him to discuss it with her beforehand?

This feeling of being thrown out like luggage being packed up is just incredibly unpleasant!
