Chapter 850: Let's Just Stick to Ms. Jiang

The two of them spent the entire day "cuddling" in the room and did not go out again.

The next day—Cai Xiaotang got up especially early, and while someone was still washing up, she slipped out to find Jiang Baobao!

She knocked the door open, and despite the look of annoyance on Li Beijue's face at being "disturbed," she dragged Jiang Baobao off to have breakfast with her.

Once they had filled their stomachs, she called Li Xiao and Li Beijue to have them meet at the recreation area.

Besides the ski slope on the hillside, a special area had been cleared here for those who did not know how to ski.

In addition to the Snowflake Ladder that one could rush down in one go, they also provided sleds for anyone to play with.

Cai Xiaotang had seen it yesterday and had been itching to try it for a long time, so she immediately dragged Jiang Baobao over, only to see upon arrival that Li Xiao and Li Beijue had already arrived.

But she hadn't expected Luo Wanwan to be there too.

Cai Xiaotang's footsteps faltered, and an unnatural look flashed quickly across her face.

Wasn't it said that Luo Wanwan would be hanging out with Laoqi and the others?

Why had she been with them for the past two days?

Cai Xiaotang grumbled to herself, but she couldn't just tell someone to leave, so she had to act as if nothing had happened and walked straight over.

Then, just as she got close, she heard Luo Wanwan take the initiative to explain: "Xiao Tang, you're here. I happened to be taking a walk nearby and didn't expect to run into Li Xiao and Mr. Li. So you all came here to play too..."

"Yeah..."

Cai Xiaotang answered reluctantly, and immediately felt her hand being pinched, not too lightly and not too heavily.

She turned her head curiously to look at Jiang Baobao, but only received a meaningful look from her.

On the snow, many guests had already automatically staked out their own small patches of ground to play with those around them, or were excitedly heading to the giant snow slides.

Li Beijue, however, was a bit uneasy, and after watching for a while, he said helplessly: "Baobao, why don't we just look at the scenery here? Shall I build you a snowman? If you play on the slides or sleds, you might accidentally get bumped into by someone..."

He looked at Jiang Baobao's belly with some concern, truly unable to set his mind at ease.

Jiang Baobao didn't dare to joke about her own body either, so she nodded immediately upon hearing this and said: "I also think it's better to stay here and rest. Xiao Tang, you and Li Xiao go play, and enjoy your time as a couple~"

She deliberately emphasized the words "time as a couple," and her gaze swept calmly in the direction of Luo Wanwan.

Immediately after, she heard Luo Wanwan take the initiative to say to Cai Xiaotang: "I still have an injury on my leg and can't play those things either, so I'll just stay here and rest with Ms. Jiang."

As she spoke, she looked at Jiang Baobao and asked: "Ms. Jiang won't find me bothersome, will she?"

"Of course not."

Jiang Baobao shook her head and smiled politely.

It seems...

This Luo Wanwan isn't completely lacking in social awareness; at the very least, she won't let her go and bother Xiao Tang for now.

I'll just keep her right under my nose!

"Xiao Tang, why are you still standing there like a fool? Didn't you keep talking about wanting to go sledding the whole way here? Go on!"

Seeing Cai Xiaotang standing still, Jiang Baobao urged her again.

"Alright, then we'll head off first."

Cai Xiaotang felt a bit regretful that she couldn't play with Jiang Baobao.

Just as she finished speaking, Li Xiao took her hand and walked toward the place not far away where they were handing out sleds.

The five of them were instantly reduced to three.

Jiang Baobao sat down in a pavilion nearby and beckoned to Luo Wanwan.

"Ms. Luo, sit here."

"Okay."

Luo Wanwan replied, sat down beside Jiang Baobao, and said with a smile: "Ms. Jiang, you don't have to be so formal, just call me Wanwan."

"Alright, Wanwan."

Jiang Baobao agreed accordingly.

Then she heard Luo Wanwan ask again: "Then may I call you by your name?"

She smiled kindly at Jiang Baobao, appearing very easy to get along with.

Jiang Baobao's eyes flickered for a moment, feeling uncomfortable with her sudden show of friendliness.

Although she didn't know the person in front of her, her intuition told her that she did not want to become friends with her.

Li Beijue listened to the two of them talking from the side and frowned slightly.

No matter what this Luo Wanwan wanted to do, he didn't care.

Since she was someone brought by his uncle, then any issues should naturally be handled by him.

But right now, Baobao seemed to be in a difficult position.

She didn't like this woman.

Li Xiao waited for two seconds, and seeing that Jiang Baobao hadn't answered yet, he intended to speak up to help her out of the situation.

The next second—"Sorry, Wanwan."

Jiang Baobao actually spoke up and refused!

Luo Wanwan was stunned; she clearly hadn't expected her to be so blunt, and the expression on her face couldn't help but turn a bit awkward.

Jiang Baobao continued: "You must have heard Xiao Tang call me by my name, so... if it's not someone particularly close, I'm not used to people dropping my surname and calling me by my given name directly. If you don't mind, you can call me Xiao Jiang."

"I'm sorry, I was being presumptuous."

Luo Wanwan suddenly realized, and although she had already sneered in disdain in her heart several times, she still said in a proper manner: "Then I will still address you as Ms. Jiang."

"That works too."

Jiang Baobao nodded and didn't offer any further opinion on the matter.

Ms. Jiang.

This form of address was just fine.

It directly pulled the distance between the two people apart.

Li Beijue also chimed in at the right moment: "Baobao, what kind of snowman do you want? I'll build it, you shouldn't touch it, otherwise your hands will get very cold."

Jiang Baobao had been almost spoiled rotten by Li Beijue during this period; hearing this, she immediately smiled sweetly, and instead of declining, she deliberately made things difficult: "Since we didn't bring those three little ones out this time, why don't you build three little snowmen for me that look like them!"

"This..."

Li Beijue immediately revealed a somewhat troubled expression.

Seeing him hesitate, Jiang Baobao immediately pretended to be dissatisfied: "What? You can't do it? Didn't you always tell them that you are an omnipotent daddy?"

"Who said I can't?"

Li Beijue was indeed immediately hit in his weak spot; without a second word, he agreed and turned around to look for tools.

Jiang Baobao was instantly grinning from ear to ear, preparing to "watch the show."

Immediately after, she heard—"I really envy Miss Jiang, having a husband like President Li who dotes on you so much, and a friend with such a good relationship like Xiao Tang..."

Luo Wanwan suddenly spoke up with a sigh.

The smile on Jiang Baobao's face froze for an instant; she did not immediately respond, but instead pretended to answer in her heart first.

According to normal circumstances, one should express gratitude first, and then curiously ask the other party if they don't have any good friends?

Would she then say that she wants to become good friends with her and Xiao Tang?

Jiang Baobao thought this, helplessly sighing in her heart.

Having to ponder over every single sentence like this is really so tiring...

But she dared not let her guard down.

Intuition told her that this Luo Wanwan was not at all as harmless as she appeared!

Otherwise, she wouldn't have appeared by their side for two days in a row!
