Chapter 141: Li Beijue's Little Schemes

The atmosphere at the dining table was somewhat stiff for a moment.

Jiang Baobao looked at the fiery red chili peppers on the plate, and her heart felt even more stifled.

Immediately after, she heard Li Beijue say in a flat tone: "Your complexion isn't very good; it must be that you caught a cold from the rain last night. Chili peppers can also dispel cold."

After Li Beijue finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Baobao with an expressionless face.

Jiang Baobao instantly gritted her teeth, a trace of displeasure rising in her eyes.

The three little ones also sensed that the atmosphere was a bit strange; they looked at each other, their big eyes filled with confusion.

Are Daddy and Mommy really not fighting?

Although picking food for someone is an act of caring, who picks ginger slices and chili peppers for someone else?

After a long while—

Jiang Baobao speechlessly pushed the chili peppers on her plate to the side and said dryly: "I appreciate the gesture, but I've been having internal heat lately and can't eat spicy food."

Li Beijue let out a cold snort in his heart and also naturally pushed the ginger slices to the side.

The dining table returned to silence.

Jiang Baobao silently picked food for the three little ones, while Li Beijue kept a straight face from beginning to end, not saying an extra word; he ate a few bites of food simply and then put down his bowl and chopsticks directly.

"I'm full. You two eat more."

He dropped this sentence and turned to leave.

Just as he took a step, he heard Jiang Baobao say: "Mobai, what game are you and Yanbao playing lately? Will you take Mommy and Tiantian to play together in a while?"

Li Beijue's footsteps paused.

Immediately after, he heard Mobai answer excitedly: "Of course! Yanbao and I are super good at it!"

Li Beijue's gaze flickered for a moment, and he suddenly felt a bit unhappy.

That woman Jiang Baobao, besides knowing how to play with them, what else could she teach them?

Li Beijue let out a cold snort in his heart, suddenly turned around, and said in a serious tone: "Yanbao, Mobai, you two come to my study in a while. I will have Zheng Bo arrange some extra courses for you; you can choose one you like to get started with."

Jiang Baobao was also stunned upon hearing this.

Yanbao said in a bit of a dilemma: "Daddy, we already promised Mommy just now..."

"You can play games anytime. You two are different from other children; you are descendants of the Li Family. You cannot take over my position just by playing games!"

Li Beijue did not wait for Yanbao to finish, interrupting him directly, and after speaking, he swept a cold glance at Jiang Baobao.

Jiang Baobao's anger flared up instantly.

Li Beijue is doing this on purpose, right!

Saying he doesn't want them to play games is actually just wanting to slap her in the face on purpose!

Why couldn't he choose courses at any other time, but specifically after she said she wanted to find them to play together!

And they are still so young; is it necessary to put so much pressure on them?

Jiang Baobao's expression was a bit ugly; she took a deep breath, but still couldn't help but retort loudly: "Yanbao and Mobai are still young; they don't need so many extra courses right now! Why don't you ask them if they are willing to accept your arrangements?"

Upon hearing this, Li Beijue's expression suddenly turned stern, and he let out a cold snort in his heart: "How I educate..."

He originally wanted to say that how he educates his children is not for her to manage, but he swallowed the words back halfway through.

Thinking that the two little ones were still watching, he had to change his phrasing and said: "Compared to the young masters of other families, I have already been very lenient with them. Yanbao, don't you remember what Great-Grandfather told you?"

Yanbao was slightly stunned, as if he had thought of something, and nodded gently with some hesitation.

Great-Grandfather had said before that he would have to learn many things in the future, become as capable as Daddy, go to work at the company, and manage many, many employees...

But today, he also wanted to play games with Mommy!

Yanbao pursed his little mouth and didn't speak, his expression showing a little bit of conflict.

"Can't it be discussed tomorrow?" Jiang Baobao suddenly spoke, frowning, her face full of dissatisfaction.

Li Beijue said without hesitation: "No."

Jiang Baobao's expression changed instantly.

Li Beijue is just deliberately trying to go against her, right?

Does he have to make the little ones unhappy?

She took a deep breath and was just about to speak when she heard Yanbao agree: "Daddy, I understand. Mobai and I will go over in a while."

Upon hearing this, Li Beijue nodded, didn't say anything more, and turned to leave.

Jiang Baobao had a belly full of anger with nowhere to vent, so she could only stand where she was and let out a long sigh.

The next second, she heard Tiantian say loudly: "Mommy, why do brothers still have to study other courses? This is so tiring!"

Jiang Baobao shook her head, not knowing how to explain it.

She only hoped that her children could grow up happy and joyful, and never thought about putting any pressure on them.

Besides, Mobai already has extraordinary talent in hacking...

Just as Jiang Baobao was thinking, she suddenly felt her hand being gently tugged.

She snapped back to reality and saw Yanbao and Mobai looking at her with concern.

"Mommy, learning some things won't do any harm, don't worry," Mobai said comfortingly in a well-behaved manner.

Yanbao also nodded hurriedly and followed up with comfort: "Mommy, Daddy told us about this before; we can play games tomorrow."

Jiang Baobao was stunned upon hearing this; since things had reached this point, she had no choice but to nod helplessly.

Mobai and Yanbao looked at each other and went upstairs holding hands.

Jiang Baobao, looking depressed, took Tiantian back to her room.

The next day—

Jiang Baobao, as usual, intended to send the three little ones to school.

But she never expected that just as she walked to the car, she would find a familiar person sitting in her usual spot.

"Good morning, Miss Jiang..."

Assistant Chen greeted Jiang Baobao.

"Morning." Jiang Baobao replied subconsciously, scanned the situation inside the car, and couldn't help but frown.

The driver was sitting in the driver's seat in the front.

Li Beijue was sitting in the front passenger seat.

Besides Assistant Chen, the back seat only had enough room for the three little ones.

Does this mean he doesn't intend to let her get in the car?

Jiang Baobao sneered in her heart.

Li Beijue clearly stuffed a person in here on purpose so she wouldn't be able to take the children to school!

The next second, she heard Assistant Chen explain: "Miss Jiang, I came to deliver documents to President Li, and President Li said we could just go to the company together..."

Jiang Baobao nodded in sudden realization, then mercilessly exposed him: "Is that so? But I remember... doesn't Assistant Chen have a car?"

As soon as her voice fell, Assistant Chen couldn't help but show a trace of embarrassment on his face, subconsciously glancing at Li Beijue in the front.

He also wanted to know why his boss had called him early in the morning and told him to come here to take up a seat!

And he wasn't allowed to drive his own car!

The atmosphere was quiet for a moment.

Jiang Baobao's eyes flickered for an instant, and she suddenly grabbed the three little ones and turned to leave.

"Since you have work to do, then I'll take them today!"

She threw out this sentence and quickly shoved the three little ones into her own car.

Hmph!

Not letting her get in the car?

Then they can go by themselves!
