Chapter 177 I am willing to give you a ring
The next day, Jiang Yao determined a new research direction.
After the new energy technology was put into production, she led the team to reorganize and start a new project group.
She proposed a specific plan to her colleagues. Everyone admired her and cooperated, and began the first phase of preparations.
This period of time is relatively relaxing, and Jiang Yao also has more free time.
She came back early in the afternoon and planned to go to the market to buy some food or nutritional supplements for the two elderly people in her family.
It couldn't be that even Li Beiting knew to give them what they liked, but she, his own granddaughter, didn't show any appreciation!
As a result, when she went out, she didn't expect Li Beiting to be standing there tall and graceful, as if he had been waiting for her for a long time.
Thinking of her decision last night, she felt inexplicably nervous and stepped forward to ask, "Senior, you didn't go to the company today?"
"I’m waiting for you."
Li Beiting's eyes fell on her deeply, and his voice was low: "Didn't you call my name yesterday? Why did you change back again?"
"I think I'm more accustomed to calling you senior." Jiang Yao replied casually.
But this title is not unique and anyone can replace it.
Li Beiting frowned slightly, then asked, "What about the message I sent you last night? Why didn't you reply?"
"I'm sorry, I was so focused on reading the literature last night that I forgot to reply." Jiang Yao's answer sounded impeccable, yet revealed a certain inexplicable politeness.
Li Beiting's heart suddenly sank.
He didn't understand. He clearly felt that their relationship had become closer yesterday, but after one night, it seemed like they had moved a lot further apart.
But he would never let things continue to develop like he did last time.
He calmly changed the subject: "Where are you going?"
"I...want to go to the market to buy something."
There is nothing to hide about this.
Li Beiting immediately said, "I'll go with you."
"But……"
Before Jiang Yao could say anything to refuse, Li Beiting took the initiative to speak: "Don't bother me. I have nothing else to do this afternoon. I can give you some advice and help you check what you want to buy."
No matter how many steps she took back, he would keep moving towards her, pressing on, even if it meant pestering her to death.
Such strong emotions would have seemed foolish to him in the past.
But now he enjoys it.
Jiang Yao couldn't resist him, "Okay then."
She found that as long as Li Beiting looked at her with such burning eyes, she simply could not refuse.
The two of them bought nutritional supplements and two sets of clothes for the elderly couple.
When they came back, they passed by a jewelry store. Li Beiting stopped and asked Jiang Yao, "Can you accompany me to take a look?"
Jiang Yao thought he was going to buy gifts for his family, so he nodded and walked in with him.
Then she saw Li Beiting walk straight to the ring display cabinet, his eyes focused as if he was choosing carefully.
Her eyelids twitched.
I really want to stop myself from thinking too much.
Seeing that he was handsome and well-dressed, the waiter greeted him warmly: "Sir, are you here to choose a wedding ring? What style would you like?"
Li Beiting turned to ask Jiang Yao's opinion, "What style do you like?"
Jiang Yao's pupils suddenly shrank.
A surge of hot blood suddenly rushed to her head, her cheeks burning hot, and she hurried over and said in panic: "Who, who said I want the ring!"
"Last time, didn't you misunderstand that I gave Yao Yuanxin a ring and became jealous and went into a cold war with me for a long time?"
Li Beiting remained calm and said seriously, "I thought you cared about this matter very much, so I wanted to give you one personally as compensation."
Jiang Yao's cheeks flushed red, and before he could even refute the jealousy, he was extremely embarrassed: "Can you just give something like this away?"
"Of course I wouldn't give it to others, but it's different for you. I'm willing to give it to you." Li Beiting was frank and straightforward.
He didn't feel at all ashamed to say such words that were almost a confession in public.
Jiang Yao's heart was pounding and he wanted to turn around and run away.
At this time, the waiter smiled and said, "Two lovers, would you like to choose wedding rings? Our store supports exclusive customization and can engrave letters."
"He and I are not a couple." Jiang Yao immediately retorted.
"Yeah." Li Beiting didn't care and nodded, saying with ease, "Not yet."
The waiter showed an understanding expression, "Even if you're not a couple, you can still customize couple rings. Which one would you like to choose?"
Li Beiting was about to speak.
Jiang Yao couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to grab his arm, "No need to buy it, let's go."
If she stayed any longer, her head would start to smoke.
Li Beiting lowered his eyes and looked at her red ears. A smile flashed across his eyes, but he finally cooperated and let her pull him away.
Fortunately, on the way back, Li Beiting did not say anything shocking, and Jiang Yao's turbulent heart finally calmed down.
However, just as I arrived at the door, I saw Aunt Wang coming out of the villa, carrying her luggage and looking hurried.
"Auntie Wang, where are you going?" Jiang Yao asked curiously.
"Excuse me, Miss. I have to go back for something. The master and the old lady are going to a restaurant outside for dinner. Can you be alone tonight?"
Aunt Wang was still a little worried about her.
"Of course I'm fine, but you...did something happen at home? Do you need any help?" Jiang Yao was worried about her condition.
Having been together for so long, they were as close as mother and daughter, so it was natural for her to be nervous.
Wang Ma shook her head and said with a smile, "Don't worry, it's not a big deal, it's a happy occasion."
After hearing her say this, Jiang Yao felt relieved, "Then walk slowly and have a safe journey."
"Then I'll be leaving." Aunt Wang said, turning to look at Li Beiting, "Mr. Li, I'll leave our young lady in your care."
Li Beiting nodded: "Don't worry."
After watching her leave, Jiang Yao was about to go back, but Li Beiting grabbed his arm.
Jiang Yao turned back in confusion, his expression alert: "What do you want to do now?"
Li Beiting smiled and said as a matter of course: "Auntie Wang said that she entrusted you to me. How could I disappoint the old lady's expectations? Come to my house for dinner."
Going to his house was also to avoid being disturbed by Qin Jinxiu like last time.
Jiang Yao: "..."
The words of refusal were on the tip of her tongue, but thinking of his paranoia, she finally compromised and followed him back to the villa next door.
The moment he pushed the door open, Jiang Yao opened his eyes wide in surprise.
The furnishings and decorations in the house are no longer as cold as the last time I came. There are colorful paintings hanging on the walls, and the tablecloths on the coffee tables have been changed to warm yellow.
There are several beautiful pots of green plants placed around, and the air is filled with pleasant incense scent.
It's like a different place.
It's obvious that this is not Li Beiting's style. It's so delicate that it looks like the work of a girl.
Were there other girls here?
