Chapter 178 It’s not the occasion that matters, it’s the people
Thinking of this, Jiang Yao felt inexplicably depressed.
"When did you change the style of your villa?" she asked casually.
Li Beiting observed her expression and asked unexpectedly, "Don't you like it?"
Jiang Yao was stunned, a little confused, "What does it matter whether I like it or not? This is your home."
"I hope you can be in a good mood every time you come here."
Li Beiting said frankly: "So, I specifically searched online and changed the style based on the suggestions of netizens."
Jiang Yao opened his eyes wide in surprise, "You mean all the decorations and ornaments here, including, were installed by you yourself."
It was hard for her to imagine Li Beiting decorating and taking care of the house.
And he did this from beginning to end just to make her happy?
"Yes, I thought you would like it." Li Beiting's deep eyes fell on her.
Jiang Yao began to feel his heartbeat was irregular again.
Where on earth did this man learn these tricks?
He could always easily touch her heartstrings.
"Yes, it's not bad." Jiang Yao pretended to be calm, took off her high heels and went into the house.
Li Beiting smiled and followed her in.
The two pairs of shoes were placed side by side, just like the two masters and mistresses in the house, complementing each other.
Li Beiting specially prepared a table of Western food tonight.
Pasta, steak and vegetable salad were arranged on plates, candles were lit, and even the decorative flowers were placed in vases.
Everything is beautifully presented.
Li Beiting then took another bottle of red wine from the wine cellar.
Jiang Yao recognized that it was the top-tier wine, Petrus, which cost several million, and it looked like there were probably no more than three bottles of this vintage in the world.
Jiang Yao was a little amazed: "Such a valuable wine should be saved for important occasions!"
"It's never the occasion that's important, it's the person." Li Beiting's voice was low and mellow. He opened the bottle of wine and poured her a glass. He handed it to her and said, "This is for you."
When his eyes smiled, they seemed to have a captivating charm that could captivate the soul.
Jiang Yao's cheeks started to feel hot again.
He quickly picked up the wine glass and took a big sip, trying to cool down.
The sweet and rich taste spreads in the mouth, the taste is so good that you can't help but savor it again and again.
"Drink slowly."
Li Beiting sat across from her and casually reminded her, "Have you forgotten what happened when you got drunk last time?"
Jiang Yao's heart trembled, and she instantly thought of every detail of that night. She almost asked someone to stay and sleep with her.
"T-That's because I was not conscious enough, so I did that." She tried to defend herself.
Li Beiting narrowed his eyes and asked in a low voice, "So, if it wasn't me, you would have let someone stay?"
Jiang Yao was stunned when he heard this.
If it wasn't Li Beiting... if it was any other man hugging her or getting close to her, she would definitely refuse.
Even if you are not conscious, your instinct will make you alert.
It was only because Li Beiting's aura made her feel at ease that she acted like that...
Thinking of this, Jiang Yao concealed her shyness and picked up the red wine and took a sip.
"I was drunk, so I don't remember."
She said vaguely, obviously not wanting to continue discussing this topic.
Li Beiting did not continue to pester him, and the two of them ate Western food in relative silence, but in fact they had different thoughts.
After dinner, Jiang Yao wanted to go back, but Li Beiting said, "I recently collected a disc of an old movie—"
It's the complete, unedited version of an old film.
Jiang Yao's eyes lit up when he heard the title of this film.
This is a movie she has loved for a long time, but she has never had the chance to see the full version.
After hesitating for a moment, she decided to stay.
The two of them went into the living room together, turned on the large-screen projector and started watching.
When Jiang Yao first felt Li Beiting's presence beside him, he felt a little nervous and uneasy.
But within the first ten minutes of the movie, she slowly relaxed.
The movie was over an hour long, and by the end, Jiang Yao's eyes couldn't help but feel sore.
Even though I've seen it before, I'm still moved by the emotions in it.
She even forgot the person sitting next to her. A tear rolled down her eye and was gently wiped away by a warm big hand.
Rough fingertips brushed across the soft skin.
Jiang Yao suddenly woke up and looked up to meet the man's deep gaze.
"Are you sad?" Li Beiting's voice was magnetic and gentle, and his breath seemed to ring beside his ear.
Jiang Yao's heart trembled, "Yes, a little."
Li Beiting raised his eyebrows and said softly, "I heard there is a way to calm your mood. Do you want to try it?"
Under Jiang Yao's misty eyes, Li Beiting leaned closer and closer.
Just as their lips were about to touch, the doorbell rang.
Jiang Yao woke up immediately, "You, you have guests!"
Li Beiting frowned unhappily, he didn't expect that someone would come to ruin his good thing.
However, the atmosphere has been broken, and there is no point in continuing.
He stood up and walked to the door, opened the electronic peephole and looked through it. A rare flash of surprise flashed across his face.
"Who is it?" Jiang Yao also stood up and walked over. Seeing his expression, he felt a little curious.
Li Beiting: "My mother."
Jiang Yao's pupils suddenly shrank: "What!!! Your mother?!"
Her heart tightened and she was at a loss, "Then, what should I do now..."
"Come with me to meet her." Li Beiting suggested directly.
"No, no, no——" Jiang Yao shook his head repeatedly.
She hadn't made any preparations for meeting her parents yet. "I'm going to hide in the attic for a while. Please wait a minute before opening the door."
After saying that, she turned and left as if escaping.
Li Beiting frowned, but before he could stop it, the doorbell rang again.
He had no choice but to open the door.
The woman outside the house stood straight, wearing a slim-fitting suit that outlined her neat aura, with sharp eyebrows and eyes, and her short hair made her look mature and capable.
She looked like she was under 40 years old, very well-maintained, and about 50% similar to Li Beiting.
"What took you so long to open the door?"
He Yunlan spoke with some displeasure.
Over the years, she knew that her son had been doing scientific research in Kyoto and was unwilling to return to the family, and she had accumulated a lot of resentment in her heart.
So she rushed over as soon as she came back from abroad.
The moment she entered the room, she saw the pair of women's high heels on the ground and frowned.
Did my son bring a woman home?
I've never seen him get close to any woman before, and I thought he was sexually apathetic.
But now it seems that it is normal for his age.
"It seems that you have really grown up. Did I come at a bad time and disturb you?" Her tone sounded a little strange.
Li Beiting knew she had guessed something, but he didn't explain and changed the subject directly, "Why are you here?"
"What do you think I did it for?!"
