Chapter 137: Mommy is Going on a Blind Date

Jiang Baobao stood where she was, pondering for a long while, but in the end, the feeling of not wanting to owe anyone a favor gained the upper hand.

Without a second word, she turned and entered the kitchen, quickly brewed a large cup of ginger tea, and then carefully placed it on a tray, only then nodding with satisfaction.

It was just a cup of tea!

It couldn't be counted as fawning over him!

If he didn't appreciate it, then at worst, she would drink it herself!

Jiang Baobao made up her mind and went straight to the study.

But after knocking on the door, there was no response from inside.

"Not here? Could he be in the bedroom?"

She muttered to herself in a low voice and turned to leave, intending to go to the bedroom to check the situation.

Upon arriving, she found the door tightly shut.

Jiang Baobao pondered for two seconds and tentatively knocked on the door.

"Li Beijue? Are you sleeping?" she asked in a low voice.

No sooner had the words left her lips than the door was suddenly pulled open from the inside!

"Is something the matter?"

Li Beijue was wearing a loose bathrobe, revealing a large expanse of chest muscle, and his hair was still dripping with water.

Jiang Baobao was startled by this unexpected "male-charm attack" and immediately retreated a step in a daze.

Her gaze subconsciously swept across those well-defined chest muscles, then she hurriedly averted her eyes and pushed the tray in her hand forward.

"I brewed some ginger tea for you. Didn't you get caught in the rain? You won't catch a cold if you drink it."

Jiang Baobao spoke at a rapid pace, not daring to look around at all.

After speaking, fearing that the other party might say something that would make her angry, she hurriedly added, "I'm not trying to curry favor with you, nor do I have any ulterior motives. It's just because you helped me hold the umbrella today, so consider it returning a favor. If you don't drink it, I'll take it away and drink it myself!"

Li Beijue listened to Jiang Baobao rattle off a long string of words, his gaze slowly falling on the tray in her hand, and he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Was it because he knew that Jiang Baobao might be the girl from sixteen years ago?

Why did he suddenly feel that she had become a little more pleasing to the eye than before... and, knowing to bring ginger tea, she could still be considered attentive.

Li Beijue's gaze flickered for a moment, and he reached out to take the tray.

Only then did Jiang Baobao heave a sigh of relief: "Drink it while it's hot, I'm going back to rest."

She dropped this sentence and turned to leave.

But she suddenly heard Li Beijue behind her say in a low voice: "Thank you."

Jiang Baobao's footsteps came to an abrupt halt, and she subconsciously looked back, but Li Beijue had already closed the door.

She stood in the hallway for a long time without moving, her face once again showing the same blank expression as in the morning.

Did Li Beijue really not take the wrong medicine today?

She had thought that the words "thank you" would never exist in his dictionary!

Jiang Baobao was full of disbelief, and until she returned to her own room, she still couldn't figure it out.

Li Beijue wouldn't have such a change suddenly...

Could it be that he wanted to play the emotional card with her so that it would be easier to fight for custody of the children later?

Alarm bells rang in Jiang Baobao's heart, but she vaguely felt that wasn't the case.

After a long while, she finally wrapped herself in the quilt in resignation, forcing herself to forget about Li Beijue's affairs.

Why think so much!

Li Beijue changed his face faster than flipping a book every day!

Maybe tomorrow, he would revert to his previous fierce appearance!

Jiang Baobao grumbled in her heart and closed her eyes.

She didn't know how long she had slept when she heard her phone vibrating wildly by her ear.

She fumbled to pick up the phone, only to discover it was just six o'clock in the morning.

Looking at the familiar name on the screen, Jiang Baobao helplessly pressed the speakerphone and tossed it aside.

"Baobao! Darling! I have a major matter and need your help!" Cai Xiaotang's loud voice rang out in the room, shaking Jiang Baobao into frowning instantly.

"It's only six o'clock... sister, what major matter could you have to be in such a rush to find me at this hour?"

She replied listlessly, hearing the rain still pattering outside the window.

On the other end of the phone, Cai Xiaotang looked distressed, hesitated for two seconds, and then explained: "My family arranged a blind date for me today... I had originally agreed to go, but my boss called at the last minute and told me to go on a business trip. I have to leave in an hour, so could you please..."

"Impossible!" Jiang Baobao suddenly spoke up, directly interrupting Cai Xiaotang's words.

Cai Xiaotang instantly bristled: "I haven't even said anything yet! You're refusing way too fast!"

Jiang Baobao was completely awake now and answered unhurriedly: "Aren't you trying to get me, a mommy who has already given birth to three children, to go on a blind date in your place?"

Cai Xiaotang was successfully choked off.

She was silent for two seconds before pleading pitifully: "Baobao, I know you're the best. This blind date candidate was introduced by my brother. It would be one thing if I hadn't agreed, but we already promised him, and that person hates it when others go back on their word! Just help me out, it's just to go and handle it, and after I come back, I'll just say our personalities don't match! Just help me out!"

Jiang Baobao was startled by her pitiful and clingy tone, instantly getting goosebumps, and her expression became somewhat hesitant.

Cai Xiaotang immediately pressed her advantage: "You also know that apart from my brother, no one in the Mu Family has a good relationship with me. If I make him angry, I'll really be isolated and helpless in the future! You are the kindest little fairy in the whole world! Just help me..."

Jiang Baobao was completely speechless.

After a long silence, she said helplessly: "It's not that I can't go in your place, but if the truth comes out, are you sure your brother won't blame you?"

"It won't come out!" Hearing her agree, Cai Xiaotang immediately promised excitedly: "My brother didn't give him my photo! When the time comes, just give my name and handle it casually!"

Things having reached this point, Jiang Baobao had no choice but to agree: "Alright then, after it's over, I'll tell you how the blind date went."

The two talked for a bit more before hanging up the phone.

Jiang Baobao sighed helplessly, completely losing her sleepiness, and decided to go make breakfast for the three little ones.

Unexpectedly, just as she pulled the door open, she saw a little fellow standing outside.

"Yanbao? Why are you here?"

Jiang Baobao instantly put on a smiling face and picked up the little fellow, who was still wearing his pajamas.

Yanbao blinked his eyes, his little hand suddenly grabbing onto Jiang Baobao's sleeve, looking at her with a worried expression.

"What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare because of the movie last night?"

Seeing the look of hesitation on Yanbao's face, Jiang Baobao rubbed his little head with amusement, then turned and carried him back to the bed.

Yanbao nodded obediently.

He had indeed woken up from a nightmare, which was why he had run over to find Jiang Baobao so early in the morning.

But...

Thinking of the fragments of conversation he had just heard at the doorway, Yanbao kept his little face tightly set.

After thinking for two seconds, he asked cautiously: "Mommy... are you going on a blind date with another uncle today?"

The little fellow looked nervous, his big eyes staring at Jiang Baobao without blinking.

He knew what a blind date meant!

If Mommy went on a blind date with another uncle, she might even get married in the future!

Then she wouldn't be able to be with Daddy!
