Chapter 13: Daddy and Mommy Get Back Together

As Yanbao spoke, his eyes couldn't help but dart around guiltily.

He didn't know if Mommy would believe him like this...

As he thought this, he felt Jiang Baobao lean over and kiss him on the cheek.

Jiang Baobao was full of joy, looking at Yanbao as if she had discovered some treasure, and said with satisfaction: "To be this good just from doodling, you truly are my precious son! You really are a genius!"

Yanbao, however, forced a smile, looking at the drawing under his hand with a heavy heart.

He could no longer remember when he had started liking to draw.

He only remembered that every time he woke up from being sick, he would forget what happened before, and only drawing could make his heart quiet down.

If Mommy knew he had a strange illness, would she still love him?

Yanbao thought this, suddenly feeling a bit afraid, and cautiously grabbed Jiang Baobao's hand.

Jiang Baobao looked up and saw the little guy beside her, his watery eyes gazing at her, and her heart instantly melted: "Why are you looking at Mommy like that? Did I scare you yesterday?"

She hugged Yanbao with a pang of heartache, gently patting his back.

"Mommy will definitely protect you well in the future and won't lose you again. Once things are stable here, we will go back to living abroad and never come back, okay?"

Jiang Baobao coaxed Yanbao in a soft voice, while Li Beijue's cold, hard face appeared in her mind.

"..." Yanbao was stunned; he didn't agree, nor did he refuse, but he pursed his lips tightly in worry.

What should he do?

If Mommy never comes back, wouldn't he never be able to see her again!

No way!

If he disappears, Daddy will definitely be very worried!

He must think of a way to make Daddy and Mommy make up as soon as possible!

Only then can the family be reunited!

Yanbao's little brain instantly started brainstorming, but for a moment, he couldn't think of any good ideas.

Just then, the phone placed to the side suddenly rang.

Jiang Baobao snapped back to reality, put Yanbao down, grabbed the phone, glanced at the number, and hurriedly answered it.

"The day after tomorrow? In the evening? About what time?"

"Mm... okay, I have time, I will definitely arrive on time."

She said a few words to the person on the other end of the phone and hung up.

Yanbao immediately asked curiously: "Is Mommy going out the day after tomorrow night?"

Jiang Baobao pinched his little face and nodded: "That's right, Mommy has a banquet the day after tomorrow night. Do you want to go together?"

She was a bit uneasy about leaving Yanbao here alone.

Yanbao shook his head and whispered, negotiating: "Mommy, I don't like banquets. Can I not go?"

Daddy often goes to banquets!

If they accidentally run into each other, he won't be able to stay with Mommy!

Hearing this, Jiang Baobao raised an eyebrow and didn't speak.

She had always respected her child's opinions, but...

Looking at the little guy in front of her watching her vigilantly, seemingly really not wanting to go, she pondered for a moment and had to agree.

"Alright then, Mommy will have the Security Guard come to work early tomorrow. You stay obediently by the Security Guard's side all day, okay? Mommy promises to go and come back quickly!"

"Mm-hmm!" Yanbao's little face immediately broke into a smile, and he nodded in agreement.

The next day.

Li Beijue was exhausted from being tormented by Mobai and, for once, did not wake up early.

But he heard his phone vibrating incessantly by his ear.

"Tsk..."

He kept his eyes closed and answered the phone impatiently.

The next second, he heard a gentle, sweet female voice.

"Jue, my tour is over. I'm getting on a plane in a bit. Do you want to go out for dinner tonight?"

Liu Rumeng stood by the airport window, her face full of irrepressible joy.

Hearing her voice, Li Beijue slightly adjusted his expression and replied in a deep voice: "Tonight is fine. What do you want to eat? I'll have someone arrange it."

As he spoke, he got out of bed.

Hearing this, Liu Rumeng curled her lips, detected the fatigue in his tone, and couldn't help but ask with concern: "What's wrong? You sound very tired?"

"It's nothing." Li Beijue sat up, rubbing his brow.

He then heard Liu Rumeng seem to heave a sigh of relief.

She was in a good mood, and her tone rose as she said: "That's good. Then let's meet at that restaurant we often go to tonight? Bring Yanbao along too. It's been a long time, I miss him very much, and I even prepared a gift for him!"

"Mm, okay." Li Beijue replied indifferently.

After saying a few more words, the two hung up the phone.

Li Beijue threw the phone aside and sat on the bed, lost in thought.

Last night, he dreamed of Jiang Baobao.

Although the two had only been intimate that one time.

Yet over these past few years, he had often dreamed of the scene from that night.

It was so lingering and ambiguous...

So affectionate and lingering, leaving one with much to reminisce about...

Li Beijue thought this, a trace of displeasure flashing through his eyes, and he quickly rolled out of bed and rushed into the bathroom.

He splashed cold water on his face to force himself to wake up, staring at his own reflection in the mirror with deep, dark eyes.

Why did he keep dreaming of Jiang Baobao?

He didn't even like that woman!

The only one who could move his heart was that girl from sixteen years ago!

Li Beijue took a deep breath, feeling a bit stifled in his heart, tidied himself up briefly, and went straight to find Zheng Bo.

"Take the young master to buy some clothes in a while, pick out what he likes, and let him relax while you're at it. Make sure the bodyguards keep a close eye on him; don't let him get lost or run away again."

Zheng Bo immediately agreed, "Yes, I will go arrange it right away."

Mobai had originally been in his room thinking about how to escape, and he was incredibly excited when he unexpectedly found out he could go out.

He quickly changed his clothes and headed straight to the city's largest shopping mall with a carload of bodyguards.

As soon as he entered the door, his eyes couldn't help but dart around, his expression somewhat distressed.

With so many bodyguards, this was just too annoying!

But there were so many people here; as long as he found an opportunity, he could go find Mommy!

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Jiang Baobao also brought Yanbao in through the entrance on the other side.

Looking at the little guy beside her who was fully armed, she couldn't help but laugh and cry.

"Baby, aren't you hot wearing such a big mask?" Jiang Baobao said, amusedly pulling down the mask that was completely covering Yanbao's nose and mouth.

Yanbao, however, quickly pulled it back up.

"It's okay, Mommy, there's air conditioning here, I'm not hot!"

Yanbao answered in a low voice, and while speaking, he held Jiang Baobao's hand tightly, his large eyes darting around vigilantly.

He had been to this mall several times before!

What if he was recognized without a mask and sent back to Daddy?

Jiang Baobao found it somewhat amusing and had no choice but to stop insisting, letting Yanbao keep his face covered tightly.

She then took Yanbao directly to the mobile phone counter, intending to pick out a children's smartwatch phone for him first.

Jiang Baobao glanced at a few of the latest models of children's smartwatch phones, picked Yanbao up, rubbed his little head, and asked, "Baby, which one do you like? You said you lost the one you had before, right? Mommy will buy you a new one!"

Yanbao looked a bit excited, glanced at them, and obediently replied, "I like whichever one Mommy picks!"

Jiang Baobao raised an eyebrow, feeling a bit surprised.

Was this little devil being too well-behaved today?

Usually when they went shopping, he would run off without a trace the moment she wasn't paying attention; today, not only was he sticking to her side obediently, but he was also being so easy to talk to?

Was it because she had scared him a couple of days ago?

It was all Li Beijue's fault!
