Chapter 145: Daddy Doesn't Fit In

Li Beijue thought of the scene at that moment, and a trace of a smile couldn't help but flash in the depths of his eyes.

He was hesitating over whether to continue helping the little girl treat the injury on her arm when he heard the sound of running coming from afar.

"Tiantian! Mommy has bought the medicine back!"

Before Jiang Baobao had even arrived, her voice had already carried over; she seemed to have run to get it and run back, and she was panting, yet she didn't dare to delay for even a second, running quickly into the pavilion.

"Give her to me." Jiang Baobao took Tiantian from Li Beijue's hands, her face full of concern.

Li Beijue's gaze subconsciously moved from the little girl's face to Jiang Baobao, and after watching her thoughtfully for a few seconds, the clear mood he had just felt suddenly surfaced with a trace of irritation again.

He pondered for two seconds and said in a low voice to Yanbao, "Daddy is going over there to make a call."

Li Beijue left behind this sentence, strode out of the pavilion, and walked a bit further away before taking out his phone and dialing Assistant Chen's number.

The phone only rang twice before it was picked up.

"Hello? President Li, what are your instructions?" Assistant Chen asked.

Li Beijue's gaze subconsciously drifted toward Jiang Baobao's direction, and he asked in a deep voice, "The matter I had you investigate before, are there any results?"

"This... it's not very comprehensive at the moment, I'm afraid I'll need you to give me a little more time..."

Assistant Chen answered, biting the bullet.

Li Beijue's gaze flickered for an instant, and he didn't speak.

In the distance, Jiang Baobao had already used the spray to treat Tiantian's wound.

Li Beijue watched for another two seconds before saying in a low voice, "Investigate it clearly in the fastest time possible; don't make me wait too long, and don't let any mistakes happen."

"Yes!" Assistant Chen let out a long breath and hurriedly agreed.

Li Beijue didn't say anything more and hung up the phone directly, but he didn't rush back, his gaze subconsciously shifting back and forth between Tiantian and Jiang Baobao.

If it really is her...

Li Beijue's brows were tightly locked, and for the first time, a feeling of being somewhat unsure arose in his heart.

He never dreamed that he would find the girl who saved him sixteen years ago.

But if that person really is Jiang Baobao?

Then what exactly has she experienced over these years to have become the way she is now?

Given her current character... it really makes him unable to accept it for the time being.

And he also saw that day that Jiang Baobao had already begun to prepare for blind dates, looking for a marriage partner.

The more Li Beijue thought about it, the more complicated his mood became, and after pondering for a long time, he finally walked back.

Walking near the pavilion, he saw that Jiang Baobao had already set up the electric grill.

"Daddy! Let's eat first! Everyone else has already started barbecuing, it smells so good!"

Mobai was in a good mood and loudly greeted Li Beijue.

Li Beijue nodded faintly and sat down to one side.

He didn't know how to barbecue, so naturally, he only had the part of waiting to eat.

Jiang Baobao didn't say much either, just taking the three little ones to pick out the things they liked to put on the grill, yet she felt two deep gazes landing on her from time to time.

Jiang Baobao immediately sighed helplessly in her heart.

She didn't need to look back to know that it must be that guy Li Beijue watching her again!

She really didn't know what exactly there was to look at!

Can't he just say what he has to say directly?

Jiang Baobao didn't know what the person behind her was thinking again, so she simply ignored his gaze and happily chatted with the three little ones behind her.

Not long after, an alluring fragrance drifted from the grill.

Tiantian had long since forgotten about the injury on her arm, her eyes fixed unblinkingly on the meat skewers Jiang Baobao had grilled.

Jiang Baobao found it funny and hurriedly picked out the best-grilled one, saying with a smile, "For the first skewer today, we'll give it to our brave little princess Tiantian, does everyone have any objections?"

"No objections!" Mobai and Yanbao immediately raised both hands in agreement.

Li Beijue also didn't say anything.

Jiang Baobao then smiled and stuffed the meat skewer into the hands of the little girl who had already been impatient, teasing her on purpose: "Hurry and taste if it's delicious! Mommy used the secret seasoning you made yourself!"

"Mm-hmm!" Tiantian nodded obediently and immediately tasted it impatiently.

Then she gave a thumbs up without hesitation.

"The taste is great! I knew the seasoning I made wouldn't go wrong!" The little girl's face was full of smugness, which instantly made Jiang Baobao laugh, and Mobai and Yanbao beside her couldn't help but laugh along.

The grass was filled with laughter, and anyone who didn't know the situation would think this was a happy family of five.

Li Beijue listened to the laughter of the few little ones in his ears, but his mood was even more subtle.

If that girl from back then really is Jiang Baobao... what should he do?

After lunch—

The three little ones had all eaten until their bellies were round.

Jiang Baobao wanted them to move around a bit, so she loudly suggested, "Babies, shall we go fly a kite?"

"Okay!" The three little ones said in unison, all jumping up with extreme speed.

Mobai quickly found the kite, while Yanbao obediently held the string.

Jiang Baobao quickly confirmed the "equipment" and nodded with satisfaction, intending to set off.

Yanbao, however, noticed that Li Beijue was sitting in place, not moving.

"Daddy, aren't you coming with us?" Yanbao couldn't help but ask curiously.

Li Beijue snapped back to reality and shook his head gently: "You all go ahead, Daddy will watch you from here."

Yanbao was stunned, and the expression on his little face was suddenly somewhat regretful.

Jiang Baobao, however, did not think much of it, merely rolling her eyes in her mind with composure.

If he doesn't want to go, he doesn't have to!

It's even better if he doesn't go!

She grumbled in her heart, then deliberately said aloud, "Then the four of us will go! Let your daddy stay here and watch the things, so they don't get lost!"

As she spoke, Jiang Baobao took the three little ones and left, walking toward the grassy area in the distance.

The four of them quickly selected an open space with a slope and ran swiftly to the top.

Fearing the three little ones might fall and get hurt, Jiang Baobao took the kite from them herself.

"In a moment, Mommy will run down while letting out the line, you all need to keep up!"

As she spoke, she adjusted her posture, preparing to dash down from the slope.

The three little ones were incredibly excited; they immediately nodded obediently, watching the kite in Jiang Baobao's hands with serious expressions.

"3, 2, 1—charge!"

Jiang Baobao finished the countdown and charged down without the slightest hesitation!

The kite in her hand also swayed and drifted up, following the wind!

"Wow! Mommy is so amazing! It really flew up!"

Tiantian looked up at the large butterfly kite in the sky, clapping her hands and jumping up and down incessantly.

Mobai was also eager to try from the side, wanting to take the line from Jiang Baobao's hand and fly it himself.

Yanbao looked up for a while, but couldn't help turning his head to look in the direction of Li Beijue.

If Daddy were here too, it would be great... Isn't it boring for him to stay there all by himself?

The little one felt a bit gloomy; he stared at Li Beijue for a few seconds, but couldn't help knitting his little brows.

Why did he feel... that Daddy seemed to be in a bad mood?
