Chapter 147: She Is an Outsider

Jiang Baobao stared at Li Beijue for a few seconds with some hesitation.

Seeing that he did not seem to be joking, she handed the kite in her hand to him and stepped aside.

Li Beijue took it casually, lowered his head, and fiddled with it gently two or three times; the kite string was indeed untangled with ease.

"Wow! It really opened!" The three little ones hadn't expected it to be so easy and were instantly overjoyed.

Li Beijue was also in a good mood at this moment, a rare hint of a smile appearing on his face, and he took the initiative to say, "I'll fly it."

"Yay! Daddy will definitely fly it higher than us!"

The three little ones agreed with both hands, beaming with joy as they followed behind Li Beijue.

Jiang Baobao stood to one side, her expression turning somewhat surprised.

After thinking for two seconds, she suddenly felt a sense of relief.

It seems Li Beijue isn't completely clueless about how to play with these little ones... then why act so cold and aloof before?

If only he had come over sooner!

It even took Yanbao going to invite him personally for him to be willing to come!

She complained to herself with a hint of amusement.

Occupying the advantage of height, Li Beijue indeed flew the kite higher and higher, almost letting out all the string in his hand.

The three little ones chased after him, all with expressions of admiration, and they had a wonderful time all afternoon.

It wasn't until dusk that the group prepared to head home.

The journey home was a bit long, and they hadn't even driven halfway before all three little ones had fallen asleep.

Jiang Baobao carefully covered them with a blanket, her peripheral vision quietly observing Li Beijue, who was sitting in the front.

These little ones must have come together as a whole family on purpose today...

Although she hadn't argued with Li Beijue in front of them these past two days, they hadn't really spoken much either; the three of them were so sharp, they must have noticed something!

Jiang Baobao thought to herself, unable to resist glancing at Li Beijue in the front a few more times, feeling somewhat conflicted.

Should she find an opportunity to explain the matter of the blind date clearly to him?

But Li Beijue had said such harsh things that day; why should she be the one to explain to him first?

The two of them weren't even in a relationship anymore... why should she be the one to lower her head first?

Thinking of the argument between the two of them that day, Jiang Baobao still felt a bit unhappy.

After pondering for two seconds, she simply turned her head to look out the window, no longer thinking about this matter.

One hour later—

The car finally slowed to a stop outside the villa.

The three little ones had slept the whole way and still showed no signs of waking up.

Jiang Baobao found it amusing and couldn't help but take out her phone to sneak a few photos of the little ones' sleeping faces before gently patting the little girl closest to her.

"Tiantian, we're home, time to wake up!" Jiang Baobao called out in a low voice.

Then she saw the little girl's long eyelashes flutter twice before she opened her eyes.

"Mm... we're already here..."

Tiantian rubbed her eyes, and while speaking, she reached out to nudge Yanbao and Mobai beside her.

The other two little ones also opened their eyes in turn.

Jiang Baobao found it funny and couldn't help but tease, "You three little lazybones, actually sleeping the whole way! What will you do if you can't fall asleep once you get back to your rooms?"

Just as her voice fell, a phone ringtone suddenly sounded inside the car.

It was Li Beijue's phone.

"I'm going to take a call, you take them inside first."

Li Beijue said in a deep voice, glanced at the number displayed on the screen, and quickly turned to get out of the car.

He walked a bit further away with his phone before answering, asking in confusion, "Grandfather, why are you looking for me so late?"

On the other end of the line, Li Laoyezi had a serious expression and asked unhurriedly, "Beijue, how is little Mobai doing over there with you lately? Has he gotten used to it yet?"

"Mobai has gotten used to it; he has been very well-behaved lately."

Li Beijue answered truthfully.

Upon hearing this, Li Laoyezi couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.

After thinking for a moment, he continued, "Since that's the case, I'll make arrangements in the next two days. Bring Mobai and Yanbao back together; we'll hold a simple family banquet. It will also be a good chance to introduce Mobai to the family, officially announce his identity, and let him return to his ancestors. From then on, just like Yanbao, he will be a recognized young master of the Li Family."

Return to his ancestors?

Hearing this, Li Beijue's gaze flickered for a moment, and he subconsciously turned his head to look in the direction where they had just parked.

He immediately saw Jiang Baobao leading the three little ones through the door.

He did not agree immediately, his expression showing a rare moment of hesitation.

"Beijue? Why aren't you saying anything?"

Li Laoyezi on the other end of the line couldn't help but press him.

Li Beijue snapped back to reality and hurriedly promised, "I understand, Grandfather. I will bring them back in two days."

"Good, then I won't say more; I'll have people make the arrangements right away!"

Li Laoyezi was beaming with joy and hung up the phone with peace of mind.

Li Beijue, however, stood where he was, not moving for a long time, seemingly deep in thought.

Mobai's custody was still with Jiang Baobao; he had to find a way to transfer it back to the Li Family quickly...

But...

Li Beijue's brows were tightly locked. He pondered for a long while before striding toward the villa.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw the three little ones gathered around Jiang Baobao, chattering away.

"Daddy! Let's go out and play again next time!"

Yanbao had an extremely good time today and couldn't wait to make plans for the next outing with Li Beijue.

Li Beijue nodded casually, his gaze slowly falling on Mobai to the side, and he suddenly said, "Yanbao, Great-Grandfather called just now and said he is holding a family banquet in two days. You and Mobai will come back with me then."

"A family banquet?" Yanbao blinked his big eyes and asked with some confusion, "Daddy, why is there a banquet all of a sudden? It's not Great-Grandfather's birthday yet."

Li Beijue explained, "It's for Mobai. He has been back for so long, it's time for him to meet the people in the family."

As soon as these words were spoken, the living room suddenly went quiet for a moment.

Upon hearing this, Mobai and Yanbao both subconsciously looked in the direction of Jiang Baobao, their expressions carrying a hint of anticipation.

They wondered if Mommy would go with them!

If she went, would it mean that she and Daddy would be reconciled soon?

Jiang Baobao's mood was not so relaxed, and her brows knitted together subconsciously.

"Daddy, let Mommy and Baobao go with us then!" Mobai suddenly suggested loudly.

Li Beijue, however, refused without hesitation, "No, Great-Grandfather said it is a family banquet; only people from the Li Family can go."

The implication of his words was that Jiang Baobao was currently just an outsider.

The two little ones immediately pouted in dissatisfaction.

Mobai was even more displeased as he retorted, "We were all born from Mommy's tummy, so why doesn't Mommy count as a person of the Li Family?"
