Chapter 11: Wanting to Eat the Meal Daddy Made

~8 min read 1,406 words

Jiang Mobai thought this, turned directly, and ran toward the wardrobe, finding a small shirt he never usually wore to change into.

Immediately after, he pulled open the bedroom door and ran out.

"Young Master! Steward Zheng said to let you stay in the room, please go back quickly..."

A servant was busy in the hallway; seeing him run out, she was given a huge fright.

Jiang Mobai blinked his eyes, deliberately revealing his signature smile, and walked over with big strides.

"Big sister, I have a question I want to ask you. If you answer me, I'll go back to the room obediently, okay?" He asked while blinking his large eyes, making it impossible for anyone to refuse.

Seeing that he was being quite obedient, the servant let out a sigh of relief and hurriedly nodded.

Mobai pondered for two seconds before asking: "Why did so many people go out to look for me just now? I saw everyone running out..."

Not knowing if asking like this would reveal any flaws, he looked at the person before him with some nervousness.

Immediately, he heard the servant answer: "Because a strange woman took you away while you were sleeping just now, Young Master. We didn't know what was going on either, which is why we went out to look. It's good that you're back now, Young Master."

Mobai widened his eyes slightly, his little brain becoming active again.

Taken away while sleeping?

That must be Mommy, she took the real Yanbao away!

"Young Master?" Seeing him standing there without speaking, the servant asked tentatively.

Mobai snapped back to reality and revealed an angelic smile again: "It's nothing, Big sister, go ahead and get busy. I want to go find Daddy."

Leaving those words behind, he turned and walked toward the direction of the stairs.

He never expected that the idol he had worshipped for so long was actually his own biological father!

Isn't that too amazing?

Why didn't Mommy tell him?

Could it be that she had a fight with Daddy?

Thinking this, Mobai arrived at the entrance of the study.

He stood outside the door, his little face showing some hesitation.

Should he just tell Daddy directly that he isn't Yanbao...

He tentatively reached out his hand and placed it on the doorknob.

The next second, however, he heard voices coming from inside.

"Young Master, regarding Miss Jiang, what do you intend to..." Zheng Bo's voice sounded cautious.

Li Beijue's expression was gloomy; he asked with a cold face: "Have you found her tracks?"

Zheng Bo hurriedly answered: "Not yet."

Li Beijue let out a cold snort.

The air fell into silence.

Mobai stood at the doorway, not even daring to breathe loudly, his little face pulled tight.

Who is Daddy looking for?

Mommy?

Thinking this, he heard voices coming from the study again.

Only, the sound was a bit soft.

Mobai didn't dare make a sound and distressingly leaned his ear closer.

Immediately, he heard Li Beijue say sternly: "To dare to do this right under my nose... that stupid woman Jiang Baobao must pay the price!"

Li Beijue's voice carried a trace of ruthlessness, giving Mobai outside the door a huge fright.

He subconsciously took a step back, looking at the door before him in shock.

Why would Daddy say that about Mommy?

Was it really because he bullied Mommy that Mommy took him and his sister away?

Mobai didn't want to listen anymore and turned to leave; because of that one sentence, his favorability toward Li Beijue plummeted instantly.

He rushed straight back to Yanbao's room and slammed the door shut with a bang.

His little chest heaved with anger; in just a short moment, he had experienced the great ups and downs of life.

And to think he used to treat Daddy as an idol!

He will never like him again!

Mommy must have been bullied by Daddy just now, which is why she took Yanbao and left!

And Daddy even said he would make Mommy pay the price!

Mobai pouted his little mouth and narrowed his eyes dangerously.

He won't let anyone who dares to bully Mommy off the hook!

It's not yet certain who will be the one to pay the price first!

Hmph!

Checking the time again, the little guy Mobai unhurriedly familiarized himself with the bedroom environment.

When noon arrived, he indeed heard a burst of footsteps outside the door.

Zheng Bo carried a food tray, pushed open the door, and saw Mobai sitting obediently by the table, so he walked in feeling relieved.

"Young Master, it's time for lunch. It's all things you like to eat."

Jiang Mobai was studying the computer on the table; upon hearing this, he deliberately turned his head with an expressionless face.

He swept a glance at the dishes on the tray and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Braised pork ribs, shrimp with cashews, pine nut corn... it's all the stuff he likes!

Thinking this, he blinked his eyes and forcibly suppressed the feeling of hunger.

"I don't like eating these."

Mobai coldly dropped this sentence and pushed the tray to one side.

Zheng Bo was suddenly somewhat helpless: "Young Master, these are all things you usually like; even if you are having a tantrum with your father, you cannot make a joke of your own health..."

What Mobai feared most was someone nagging in his ear, so upon hearing this, he hurriedly said: "Then change to something else, I don't want to eat these."

"Alright, alright, alright, I will have someone go change them right away; what would the Young Master like to eat?" Zheng Bo agreed readily.

"Whatever." Jiang Mobai tossed out these two words that gave people a headache.

Zheng Bo was stunned, looking somewhat troubled, but still did not say anything more; he pondered for a moment before turning and leaving.

Not long after, he brought back a few different dishes.

Smelling the fragrance at the tip of his nose, Mobai lowered his eyes and swept a glance over them.

Steamed egg with shrimp... sour soup beef... they were still the things he liked!

Mobai pouted slightly, feeling his stomach was empty...

No!

He must hold out!

Thinking this, he still pushed the tray a little further away.

Without a word, Zheng Bo turned and left.

This continued until the food brought over was pushed away by Jiang Mobai for the third time.

He had no choice but to ask with a bitter face: "Young Master, why don't you tell me what you want to eat, and I will have someone go remake it."

Jiang Mobai was waiting for exactly these words from him.

He deliberately pondered for two seconds, then pretended to be very reluctant as he spoke: "I don't want to make things difficult for Uncle Butler, but how about this: if Daddy cooks for me himself, I will eat!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Bo nearly stumbled.

The Young Master wants to eat food made by the Master?

He had watched the Master grow up since he was a child; how could the Master possibly know how to cook?

Zheng Bo opened his mouth, wanting to refuse on behalf of Li Beijue.

But meeting those innocent, big eyes before him, he found himself unable to say it for a moment.

He could only sigh and turn to leave.

"He won't eat anything, and insists on eating food I make?" In the study, Li Beijue also wore an expression of disbelief.

Zheng Bo nodded helplessly: "Yes, the Young Master said if you make it, he will eat; do you think... should I go have someone..."

"No need." Li Beijue rubbed his forehead, his expression somewhat helpless.

Yanbao had been raised by nannies and servants since he was small.

Li Beijue had not even mixed a bottle of formula once.

After pondering for a moment, he stood up.

"I will go give it a try; have the kitchen prepare." Dropping this sentence, he turned and went to the kitchen downstairs.

After exchanging a few words with the chef, Li Beijue decided to boil a bowl of the simplest noodles.

Standing in front of the stove, a rare trace of nervousness suddenly appeared in his mood.

Is it because he usually does not show enough care for him that Yanbao would have such a request?

Has he, as a daddy, not been doing a good enough job?
