Chapter 203 You are very important to me
At this moment, Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Tong's innocent face, but a hint of pride flashed in his eyes.
Listening to the insults in my ears, a surge of intense anger rushed into my brain.
Reason is swallowed up.
The next second, Xiao Yu suddenly pulled out a utility knife from his arms, pointed the tip of the knife at Xiao Tong's heart and stabbed it hard.
“Go to hell!”
Xiao Tong stared with his eyes wide open, and before the smugness in his eyes could disappear, he covered his chest in pain and fell to the ground.
The reporters at the scene reacted after a few seconds, "Ah ...
The sharp screams seemed to break through the sky.
Everyone fled in all directions.
After the reporters dispersed, Jiang Yao's figure appeared in the back.
Xiao Yu was completely mad with anger at this point, and rushed towards her with a bright red utility knife.
"It's all because of you—"
Jiang Yao reacted instantly. Although she had kung fu skills to protect herself, she had no experience facing a knife.
Just when I was thinking about how to deal with it.
A tall figure rushed forward at lightning speed and kicked the dagger in Xiao Yu's hand away.
Then he stepped forward and kicked him hard in the chest, sending him flying several meters.
The security guards outside the court also rushed over at this time and quickly subdued Xiao Yu who was on the ground.
The chaos was finally brought under control.
Li Beiting turned around, nervously grasped Jiang Yao's shoulders and looked him up and down, "Are you okay?"
His deep eyes were filled with worry and fear.
Jiang Yao's heart softened, but at the critical moment, he still rushed back.
"Seeing you, I'm fine." Jiang Yao responded to him with a smile, and didn't look frightened at all.
The big stone in Li Beiting's heart finally fell.
God knows, when he rushed over just now and saw Jiang Yao almost injured, he almost stopped breathing.
He simply couldn't imagine what he would become if he lost Jiang Yao.
"Let's go." Li Beiting took her hand and turned to leave with her.
Jiang Yao did not struggle to break free, but looked at the man's tense jawline with a smile. From his nervous attitude, she actually felt a sense of joy and sweetness.
She was just about to say something.
At this moment, Xu Li hurriedly caught up with him, "Yaoyao, are you okay?"
Jiang Yao then stopped.
Although Li Beiting was unhappy, he did not force her to leave.
"I'm sorry, I didn't protect you well. I should have been by your side just now--" Xu Li looked guilty.
Before he could finish his words, Li Beiting interrupted him in a deep voice: "She doesn't need your protection."
Xu Li was stunned.
Listening to Li Beiting's firm words, he said, "She has me. Even if it costs me my life, I will protect her."
Jiang Yao's heart trembled, and he pursed his lips to suppress his throbbing heart.
Xu Li was silent for a while.
The atmosphere at the scene became a little weird.
"Ahem..." Jiang Yao finally cleared his throat to break the current atmosphere. "It's not a big deal. With my skills, I can easily defeat him. You don't have to take it to heart."
She looked relaxed and at ease, not as if she was pretending to be strong.
That confident, excellent and outspoken look is what most moved Li Beiting.
But occasionally, he also hopes that the girl can rely on him.
"That's good." Xu Li smiled in relief, "Are you guys going back?"
"Yes, no need to send me off." This time, Li Beiting spoke first.
Jiang Yao did not refute. After saying goodbye to Xu Li, he left with Li Beiting.
Xu Li stared at Jiang Yao's back in a daze, feeling that her whole body was glowing.
He sighed softly and prepared to go back.
"Do you like Yaoyao?" At this time, a sweet voice sounded beside him.
Xu Li turned around in surprise, looking at the newcomer with a bewildered expression, "You, who are you?"
"I'm Yaoyao's friend, Lian Yingying."
Originally, Lian Yingying should have been sitting in the audience today, but unfortunately because the project was delayed too late, she happened to see this scene.
Just now, Xu Li's eyes were filled with admiration, nostalgia, and regret.
Lian Yingying could see the other person's feelings at a glance.
"I--" Xu Li was struck by the clue and was thinking about how to explain.
Lian Yingying interrupted, "You must be the most powerful lawyer Xu that Yaoyao mentioned! It just so happens that I can ask you for a favor."
"What help?" Xu Li asked subconsciously.
Lian Yingying leaned close to his ear and whispered a few words, then pleaded, "Can you keep this a secret for me?"
Xu Li thought for a moment and nodded, "Since you are Yaoyao's friend, I can help you."
Lian Yingying's face was filled with gratitude. "Thank you, Lawyer Xu. If you need me in the future, I will help you."
Having said this, she paused, then continued with some embarrassment: "But, if it's about helping to pursue Yaoyao, I'm afraid I can't do anything..."
Xu Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this. "I used to like Yaoyao, but I also understand that there are people who are better than me and more suitable for her, so I won't force it. Don't worry."
He seemed to be very open-minded, and Lian Yingying finally breathed a sigh of relief.
…
On Jiang Yao's side, Li Beiting accompanied her all the way back, his eyes falling on her from time to time, as if he was still frightened by the danger just now.
"When you go out next time, you should bring some self-defense gear with you. It will come in handy at critical moments."
Jiang Yao looked at his tense facial nerves and said with a smile, "Are you so nervous about me?"
She teased him deliberately, intending to ease his mood.
Unexpectedly, Li Beiting said in a hoarse voice: "Just now, I almost thought something was going to happen to you. I don't know how scared you must be."
Jiang Yao was startled.
"Yaoyao, you are very important to me. I can't imagine losing you, so even if it's for me, you must be well. Promise me."
The words were so straightforward that they almost sounded like a plea, causing ripples in Jiang Yao's heart.
Her cheeks flushed and she nodded seriously, "Okay, I promise you."
Li Beiting finally breathed a sigh of relief and sent her home safely.
Jiang Yao originally wanted to make up for the meal she missed last time, but Li Beiting told her that the company's affairs had not been completed and he had rushed back today at the last minute.
Jiang Yao instantly understood that he... had come back specifically for her.
For a moment, my heart felt sour and numb.
The words I wanted to say came to my lips, but I couldn't say them.
But before leaving, Li Beiting whispered, his eyes filled with expectation, "Can I hug you?"
Jiang Yao's heart trembled, and he nodded imperceptibly.
The next second, she fell into a broad and warm embrace.
After hugging her for a long time, Li Beiting finally let her go, brushed her hair behind her ears, and said in a gentle voice, "Wait for me to come back."
The man disappeared from sight.
Jiang Yao breathed a sigh of relief, and his pounding heart slowly calmed down.
She turned back to the house, but was met with a pair of sharp gazes.
Jiang Yao was startled, covering his chest and said nervously: "Uncle, you are home!"
