Chapter 114: Let's Go Pick Up Mommy Together

~7 min read 1,362 words

Li Beijue closed his eyes, forcibly suppressing the irritation in his heart, and remained silent for a long time.

Mobai did not say anything more either, just looking steadily at Li Beijue, his eyes full of determination.

The next second, however, he saw Li Beijue suddenly stand up and walk with long strides toward the bathroom.

He pushed the door open and saw that there were still some water stains on the floor from the bath just now.

Li Beijue's gaze swept around the room and finally landed on the handle of the water faucet.

The handle was turned to the left, pointing directly toward the cold water setting.

Li Beijue took a deep breath, and countless waves of rage and heartache instantly surged in his eyes.

That little guy, in order to get Jiang Baobao to come back, was actually willing to take a cold shower and make himself sick with a fever?

Li Beijue felt a tightness in his chest, his belly full of anger with nowhere to vent; he did not know if he was angry at Mobai or at himself.

After a long silence, he found he could not stay angry in the end, leaving only heartache.

If he did not bring Jiang Baobao back soon, there was no telling what these two children would do next...

He did not want to see them hurting themselves like this again.

Outside the bedroom, Yanbao was leaning close to Mobai's ear, whispering something.

Seeing Li Beijue walk out of the bathroom, they hurriedly pulled apart and sat properly on the edge of the bed.

Mobai's little face was flushed, his eyes fixed on Li Beijue, his small hands hidden under the quilt clenched tightly.

Did Daddy find out?

I don't believe that even like this, he still won't let me see Mommy!

Mobai subconsciously held his breath, a hint of anticipation coloring his eyes.

Li Beijue opened his mouth, intending to scold Mobai a few words, but when the words reached his lips, he could not bear to say them.

He hesitated for two seconds, then lowered his face and said in a low voice, "You behave and take your medicine; once the fever goes down, I will go personally to bring them back tomorrow!"

"Really?" Mobai was a bit skeptical and did not believe him immediately.

Li Beijue sighed helplessly and nodded.

Mobai and Yanbao exchanged a look, but they were still a bit uneasy.

If Daddy didn't keep his word when the time came, they would have to think of another way!

Although Mobai had a fever, his little brain was still spinning fast, and he hurriedly demanded, "I can take the medicine, and I can let the fever go down, but tomorrow Yanbao and I must go together to pick up Mommy!"

"No, you are still sick!" Li Beijue's brow tightened, and he rejected Mobai's request.

Then he suddenly changed his tone, took a step back, and said, "But Yanbao can go with me."

"Okay!" A look of joy finally appeared on Mobai's face, and he looked at Yanbao happily.

The two little guys exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly.

Not long after, the Doctor also rushed over, carefully examined Mobai, and watched him drink the fever-reducing medicine.

Li Beijue finally felt a bit more at ease; he stayed by the bedside for a good while, watched Mobai fall asleep, and then got up to leave.

As soon as the door closed, the little guy lying on the hospital bed opened his eyes.

"Mobai, do you feel a bit better? Is it less uncomfortable now that you've taken the medicine?"

Yanbao leaned over quickly, his face full of worry.

Mobai waved his hand, reached out to touch the temperature of his own forehead, and smiled indifferently.

"It's okay, it's not as uncomfortable after taking the medicine; I'll leave it to you tomorrow! You must bring Mommy and Tiantian back, okay!"

Mobai was still a bit worried about Yanbao going alone.

Yanbao hurriedly promised, "Don't worry! I will definitely bring both Mommy and Tiantian back!"

As he spoke, thinking of how angry Li Beijue was today, he felt a bit bad and whispered to persuade him: "Mobai... actually, Daddy still cares about us a lot. He saw you were sick and was afraid you were uncomfortable, which is why he agreed to let Mommy come back... Don't be angry with him, okay? Maybe there are things between him and Mommy that we don't understand..."

Mobai blinked, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Of course he could feel that Daddy wanted to be good to them!

It was just that sometimes his temper was too bad, and he was especially prone to getting angry!

If he had to choose between Daddy and Mommy, he would definitely choose Mommy!

But Yanbao was different... after all, he had been with Daddy for a longer time...

And if he chose Mommy, he wouldn't be able to live with Yanbao in the future.

The best way now was to let Daddy and Mommy make up so the whole family could live together.

But if they couldn't make up, what should they do...

Mobai furrowed his little brows, unable to figure it out for a moment, so he had to wave his hand irritably.

"I'm not particularly angry at Daddy, it's just that his temper is too bad! And he's always so fierce! Let's just bring Mommy back tomorrow first!"

"Mm-hmm! I will definitely bring Mommy and Tiantian back tomorrow! You must get better as soon as possible!" Yanbao nodded heavily, feeling much more at ease.

The next day—

Early in the morning, Li Beijue left the house with an impatient Yanbao.

Mobai's body was still a bit weak, so he could only watch the two of them get into the car and give Yanbao a "go for it" gesture.

Li Beijue saw the interaction between the two little guys, and his mood was a bit subtle for a moment.

These two children were truly too dependent on Jiang Baobao...

He felt a bit worried for a moment, but he could do nothing about them.

Yanbao sat in the car, thinking that he would be able to see Jiang Baobao in a little while, and the corners of his mouth remained slightly curled up.

Not long after, he saw the familiar villa of the Training Base appear before his eyes.

"Daddy! We're here!"

Yanbao excitedly pointed his finger ahead, looking as if he couldn't wait to get out of the car immediately.

"Mm." Li Beijue responded indifferently, his expression calm as he swept a glance out the window.

He would never have imagined that he would actually come here again.

Li Beijue's gaze flickered for a moment, and while he was deep in thought, the villa was already right before his eyes.

Yanbao was the first to jump out of the car, running toward the direction of the main gate, where he stood on tiptoe to press the doorbell.

Li Beijue walked over unhurriedly, but upon thinking of what happened that night, a flash of awkwardness suddenly crossed his expression.

If Jiang Baobao was unwilling to return...

Just as Li Beijue was thinking this, a "click" sound suddenly reached his ears.

The villa door was opened.

Yet there was no one at the entrance.

He was stunned for a moment, then looked down, just in time to meet the puzzled gaze of the little girl.

"Mommy! Brother Yan is back!"

Tiantian swept a glance at Li Beijue, completely ignoring his presence, and turned to run into the living room while calling out.

Yanbao followed behind very naturally, and Li Beijue then followed them through the door.

Having just entered, he saw Jiang Baobao, still wearing her pajamas, walking out of the bedroom with a look of surprise on her face.

"Li Beijue? What are you here for?"

The moment Jiang Baobao saw Li Beijue, her face instantly fell, wearing an expression of unwelcomeness.

Li Beijue's brow twitched violently, and he instantly wanted to turn around and leave.

What kind of expression was that?

It was as if he wanted to be here!
