Chapter 196 Yaoyao, I Want to Kiss You
"You say." Sui Yunli listened attentively.
"I'm still lacking a team for my current research. I'd like to transfer the people from my previous small team over here. They've been working with me for a long time and they'd be able to help me. Would you agree?"
Jiang Yao then repeated the content of the research.
Sui Yunli nodded happily after listening to it, "Of course, you don't need to explain so much to me, I will trust your judgment."
Jiang Yao's heart moved slightly, wondering why he trusted her for such unknown reasons.
But since her goal was achieved, she didn't ask any more questions.
"Okay, I'll let them know when I get back."
After saying that, she bowed and quickly pushed the door open and left.
Sui Yunli stared at her back with interest, a hint of deep meaning in his eyes.
…
Jiang Yao told everyone the news in the group chat after get off work, and of course, he also had to seek everyone's consent.
Unexpectedly, within half a minute of sending the message, Lian Yingying responded immediately: [Of course I agree! Yaoyao, you are so kind. You thought of us first when you had good news.]
Bi Siyuan followed up with a sentence: "There are fewer projects at Xingheng Base lately, so everyone is quite free. If I can help, I'll definitely come."
Ning Sheng: [For a project of this magnitude, being able to leave a signature would be the greatest honor.]
Everyone was obviously very happy.
Jiang Yao felt warm in his heart, knowing that they were doing this more for him, and quickly sent another message: "Thank you. Does anyone have time later? I'll treat you to dinner and explain the project content."
Everyone agreed.
Half an hour later, inside the restaurant.
The four members of the group reunited and sat down together.
While waiting for the meal, Jiang Yao briefly explained the research direction to everyone. "For the details, I will send you a copy of the materials when the time comes. You can go back and take your time to read it."
Several people nodded, as if they regarded her as the backbone of the team.
After the chat, the food arrived.
"Come on, let's drink a toast to celebrate our joining such a big project—" Lian Yingying raised her glass proudly.
Jiang Yao and others raised their glasses together, and the table was filled with laughter.
However, Jiang Yao also noticed that Ning Sheng, who was sitting in a corner, seemed a little absent-minded. He raised his chopsticks to his mouth but didn't even open his mouth to take a bite.
"What's wrong? Is the food not tasty?" Jiang Yao asked with concern.
Ning Sheng finally came to his senses and said, "No."
"Are you feeling unwell? Or if you have any concerns, you can tell me."
After knowing each other for nearly a year, she got to know this team member quite well.
Although he is usually taciturn, he is thoughtful and responsible at work. When he goes out to party with his friends, he is quiet but very involved. It is rare for him to be like this today.
"I'm fine." Ning Sheng still shook his head, "Everyone, continue eating."
Seeing that he was unwilling to say more, Jiang Yao didn't dare to ask any more questions.
But after the dinner, while waiting for the car outside, Lian Yingying whispered to her, "Ning Sheng seems to be in some trouble at home. I've noticed that he's been receiving calls from home quite frequently recently."
Jiang Yao suddenly realized.
She knew that Ning Sheng had a strong sense of self-esteem and came from a poor family, but he never complained and was also quite sensitive, so she had no intention of asking further questions.
And he reminded Lian Yingying: "Don't mention this matter to him."
"Of course, I know that."
Because they had been drinking, Jiang Yao and his friends called a designated driver.
When the car arrived at the villa, Lian Yingying helped the drunk Jiang Yao out of the car.
After taking just two steps, she fell into a broad embrace.
"Just leave her to me." A deep voice sounded above his head.
"Okay, senior." Lian Yingying chuckled twice and left.
Jiang Yao buried her head in his arms, her face slightly flushed, her eyes closed, and she seemed to be quite drunk.
When Li Beiting lowered his head, he saw her quiet and well-behaved profile, and the tenderness in his eyes was almost dripping with tears.
He reached out and touched the tip of Jiang Yao's nose, saying in a doting tone, "You dare to get so drunk even when I'm not around. Aren't you afraid of being kidnapped, little drunk cat?"
Jiang Yao's ears began to feel hot, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and his cheeks seemed to puff up in dissatisfaction.
Li Beiting saw this and found it even more adorable. He couldn't help but reach out and pinch her gently.
It feels as soft as tofu, making you want to take a bite.
His eyes darkened as he looked at the defenseless woman in his arms. Suddenly, he whispered, "Yaoyao, I want to kiss you."
Jiang Yao's cheeks were heating up rapidly, and her long eyelashes were trembling more violently, but she never opened her eyes.
"Just because you don't open your eyes, does that mean you agree?"
He leaned closer, his warm breath spraying towards her, getting closer and closer to those moist red lips.
But at the last moment, he pressed the tip of his finger on her lips and placed a gentle kiss through his fingers.
In the end, he didn't take advantage of her. "Let's wait until you're sober and agree."
“Plop”… “Plop”…
At that moment, Jiang Yao's heart was beating violently, huge ripples spread across the lake of his heart, and he almost couldn't help but open his eyes.
In the end, Li Beiting helped her into the house.
Mother Wang took it and carried her back to the bed in her room.
When the door closed, she slowly opened her eyes and muttered softly, "Li Beiting, idiot!"
She had clearly pretended to be drunk, giving him an opportunity, but she didn't take any action.
The fingertips seemed to still retain the warmth of the man's rough fingertips.
At this moment, Jiang Yao discovered that she seemed to be even more attracted to Li Beiting.
In the following week, Jiang Yao officially devoted himself to the new project and was busy as a whirlwind.
It wasn't until Saturday that I finally had a chance to relax.
That same day, I received a call from my best friend Shu Ya, "Baby, are you free today? You promised me that you would accompany me to that event."
"Okay, wait, I'm leaving." Jiang Yao got into the car with her bag.
Arrived at the destination soon.
This is a large-scale book signing event.
Many fans come to meet their favorite stars, ask for autographs, etc.
After Jiang Yao got off the bus, he was almost frightened by the spectacular flow of people in front of him.
After making a phone call, I finally saw Shu Ya in a corner backstage.
"Yaoyao—" Shu Ya excitedly stepped forward and grabbed her hand. She was always bold, but now her palms were sweating. "H-what should I do! I'm still scared. I'm going to meet Senior Jiang Nian soon. I-I don't dare ask her for an autograph."
Jiang Nian is a well-known actress in the circle. She has starred in many TV series with high ratings and is known as the queen of dramas.
She is also the younger sister of the retired actress whom Shuya admired the most.
That's the kind of person she most wants to be.
"What are you afraid of? We are in the same circle after all. As long as you express yourself sincerely, she will give you an autograph." Jiang Yao comforted her with a smile.
Seeing that Shu Ya was still very nervous, Jiang Yao simply took her hand and walked towards the row of Jiang Nian's fans.
As a result, at this moment, her shoulder was hit hard by someone else, and a woman wearing sunglasses and a mask took her place first.
Jiang Yao frowned, feeling that the back figure looked familiar.
