Chapter 146: Mommy is Getting Married?

Yanbao stared in the direction of Li Beijue for a few seconds, then suddenly couldn't help but take a step forward.

"Yanbao, are you going back?" Mobai noticed Yanbao's movement and asked hurriedly.

Jiang Baobao and Tiantian looked over, puzzled.

Yanbao thought for a moment, then found an excuse and replied, "Mommy, I'm a little tired! I'm going back to rest for a while before coming back! You guys go ahead and play!"

"Alright, then come back once you've rested!" Mobai patted Yanbao's shoulder with great understanding.

Yanbao's body was weaker than his own, after all!

It was only natural to be tired!

He must take him out to exercise more in the future!

Little Mobai thought to himself, then quickly turned his head back to immerse himself in the enthusiasm of flying a kite.

Yanbao, meanwhile, walked all the way back to Li Beijue's side and sat down next to him.

"What's wrong?" Li Beijue looked at the little guy beside him, somewhat confused.

Yanbao shook his head gently, his big eyes filled with a hint of hesitation, as if he wanted to say something.

He thought for two seconds before asking in a small voice, "Daddy, is there something making you unhappy? Did coming out to play with us today delay your work?"

Li Beijue was taken aback by these words, and a subtle expression flashed across his eyes.

He hadn't expected Yanbao's emotions to be so sensitive, and that he would choose to come and ask him directly.

Li Beijue's gaze flickered for a moment, and he suddenly thought of something.

He had always wanted to test Yanbao's attitude toward the matter of a "stepmother," but he had never brought it up openly.

Li Beijue pondered for two seconds before tentatively asking, "Yanbao, Daddy wants to ask you a question. You should think it over carefully before answering Daddy, okay?"

"Mm, go ahead and ask, Daddy!" Yanbao was a bit surprised, but nodded obediently in agreement.

Li Beijue contemplated for a moment, then asked in a low voice, "Yanbao, if Daddy gets married in the future, what are your thoughts on that?"

"Get married?" Yanbao was stunned at these words, not expecting Li Beijue to ask him this.

The little guy stared with wide eyes, not knowing how to answer appropriately for a moment.

He subconsciously looked at Jiang Baobao in the distance, thought for a moment, and then asked in a small voice, "Is Daddy going to marry another auntie? Then why can't you marry Mommy..."

Li Beijue felt somewhat helpless.

Explaining his situation with Jiang Baobao to Yanbao was simply too complicated.

Li Beijue pressed his lips together tightly, intending to ask from another angle.

He thought for a moment and then said, "Daddy doesn't plan on getting married for now, but... what if your Mommy, what if she plans to get married? She..."

Li Beijue stopped halfway through his sentence, conflicted about whether to mention that Jiang Baobao was already going on blind dates.

He couldn't bear to see Yanbao get hurt.

Yanbao, however, picked up the conversation quite naturally and said firmly, "That won't happen! Mommy said before that she won't get married!"

"Is that so?" Li Beijue asked back in a deep voice, a flash of anger suddenly rising in his eyes at these words.

She actually had the heart to casually fool Yanbao!

Going on dates with men on one hand, while promising the child on the other that she wouldn't get married!

Li Beijue felt a fire burning in his heart, unable to contain his frustration for a moment.

Yanbao watched Li Beijue's reaction nervously, feeling a bit confused.

Why would Daddy suddenly ask him these things?

Mommy doesn't want to get married... is Daddy very angry?

Yanbao's expression couldn't help but show some doubt.

Li Beijue, however, could no longer hold back and finally hardened his heart, hinting indirectly, "What if she suddenly changes her mind? Daddy yesterday..."

The words were on the tip of Li Beijue's tongue, but seeing Yanbao's big eyes staring at him without blinking, he suddenly found he couldn't say it.

He knew that if Yanbao heard it, he would definitely be sad.

But unexpectedly—

Yanbao picked up the conversation quite naturally and asked, "Did Daddy see Mommy with another uncle a few days ago? Mommy did indeed go on a blind date a few days ago!"

Li Beijue's brow furrowed sharply, his eyes filled with confusion.

Yanbao knew about this?

And he even understood what a "blind date" was?

Li Beijue wanted to ask, but Yanbao took the initiative to explain, "I accidentally heard Mommy say she was going on a blind date a few days ago, and I thought Mommy didn't want us anymore! But... Mommy was going on behalf of Auntie Xiao Tang! Auntie Xiao Tang had important work, so she asked Mommy for the favor."

Li Beijue's expression froze for a moment; he pondered for two seconds and vaguely recalled the name.

Cai Xiaotang?

That friend of Jiang Baobao's?

His expression was somewhat complex for a moment, but the heavy stone in his heart suddenly fell away.

It wasn't that she was going on a blind date herself; she was doing it for someone else...

Li Beijue repeated this sentence in his heart, inexplicably feeling that his mood had improved, and subconsciously looked in Jiang Baobao's direction.

At a glance, he saw her pulling the kite, smiling happily.

Li Beijue's gaze flickered for an instant, and for some reason, the irritability in his heart vanished completely.

"Daddy, why... why aren't you saying anything?"

Seeing that he hadn't replied for a long time, Yanbao couldn't help but ask in confusion.

Li Beijue suddenly snapped back to reality and shook his head gently: "It's nothing, go play."

He reached out and ruffled Yanbao's little head, a gentle expression appearing on his face.

Yanbao, however, didn't rush off; instead, he turned to look into the distance, then gently reached out and tugged on Li Beijue's sleeve.

"Daddy... come fly kites with us... it'll be boring for you to be here all alone, and a family is only happy when they're together."

Yanbao's tone was somewhat hesitant, as if he were afraid of being rejected by Li Beijue.

Li Beijue was silent for two seconds, looked at the little fellow's expectant eyes, and finally stood up.

"Daddy! You're willing to play with us?" Yanbao's eyes immediately brightened, and he looked at Li Beijue with a face full of anticipation.

Li Beijue nodded.

The big one and the small one held hands and walked toward the direction of the slope.

Mobai was standing there with a conflicted expression, looking at the kite in his hands, not understanding why it had suddenly fallen down.

"Mobai!"

Yanbao called out and ran over quickly.

Jiang Baobao turned her head when she heard the voice, and at a glance, she saw Li Beijue following behind Yanbao; her expression was suddenly somewhat surprised.

Why would Li Beijue come over?

Didn't he want to stay over there by himself?

Jiang Baobao couldn't help but grumble in her heart, but she didn't say a word, reaching out to take the kite from Mobai's hands.

After checking it, she spoke helplessly: "Baby, your kite string is all tangled up; I'm afraid we'll have to wait a while before we can play with it."

As soon as her voice fell, she suddenly felt out of the corner of her eye that someone was standing beside her.

"Give it to me."

Li Beijue reached out his hand and calmly took the kite from Jiang Baobao's hands.

Jiang Baobao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and subconsciously raised her eyes, meeting a pair of deep pupils.

Yet, she no longer felt the disdain and disgust from him that she had before.

Jiang Baobao was stunned for a moment, and she couldn't help but mutter to herself in her heart.

Did the sun rise from the west?

Didn't this guy not like the sight of her before?

He changed way too fast!
