Chapter 151: Li Beijue and Jiang Baobao's Marriage

~7 min read 1,351 words

Jiang Baobao dropped a sentence and turned to leave.

Li Beijue watched Jiang Baobao's back, his expression subtle for a moment.

Jiang Baobao's personality... could she really be that girl from sixteen years ago?

The girl in his memories was very gentle, but Jiang Baobao...

Li Beijue shook his head, then pushed the door open and got out of the car.

Inside the villa—

Seeing his two great-grandsons, Li Laoyezi was naturally overjoyed; as soon as he entered, he pulled Yanbao and Mobai to his sides, one on the left and one on the right, and after saying a few words, he asked in confusion: "Where are your daddy and mommy?"

Li Laoyezi couldn't help but look toward the doorway.

Immediately after, he saw a figure walk in from outside the door.

"Grandpa."

Jiang Baobao looked at Li Laoyezi with some restraint and greeted him softly.

"Mommy!"

The two little ones immediately scrambled off the sofa and ran quickly to Jiang Baobao's side.

Seeing the two little ones acting so affectionately toward Jiang Baobao, Li Laoyezi understood a bit, and hurriedly greeted her warmly: "Girl Jiang, come, come! Sit down! It's been so many years, let Grandpa have a good look at you!"

"Mm." Jiang Baobao nodded and sat back down with the two little ones.

Li Laoyezi looked moved, sizing Jiang Baobao up and down, and shook his head gently.

"You little girl, it's different now that you're a mommy; you look much more mature than before..."

Jiang Baobao smiled appropriately and nodded in agreement with Li Laoyezi's words: "Yes, having Mobai and Yanbao, I naturally have to be more steady; I was indeed a bit childish before."

"Sigh... it's been so many years in the blink of an eye..." Li Laoyezi sighed, and just as he was about to say something more, he heard a sound coming from outside the door again.

Li Beijue walked in from the entrance, saw the few of them sitting on the sofa talking, gave a faint greeting, and sat to one side.

He scanned the room once more, then asked: "Grandpa, are we the only ones back?"

"Mm, your father and the others should be back by mealtime; as for your uncle... who knows if he'll be back today! Anyway, I had people notify him!"

When Li Laoyezi mentioned Li Xiao, he sounded annoyed, waved his hand casually, and then suddenly looked at Mobai, asking with a chuckle: "Mobai, how about Great-Grandpa takes you to see Great-Grandma? And your Great-Aunt..."

"Okay." Mobai nodded obediently and jumped off the sofa.

Li Beijue and Jiang Baobao's eyes flickered for an instant, and they stood up as well.

The group went together to the door of a small room at the end of the upstairs hallway.

Mobai looked at the adults beside him, their expressions all somewhat solemn, and his little face couldn't help but show some confusion.

Does Great-Grandma live in this room?

Is she sick and unable to go out?

Just as the little one was thinking this, the next second, he saw the door slowly open before his eyes.

He saw that the light inside was dim, and apart from a table, there was nothing else.

Arranged neatly on the table were offerings and rows of clean spirit tablets.

"Mommy..."

Seeing this scene for the first time, Mobai couldn't help but be startled.

Jiang Baobao hurriedly rubbed his little head gently.

Li Laoyezi also hurriedly spoke up: "Mobai, don't be afraid; these... are all people of our Li Family. Your Great-Grandma and Great-Aunt were ill and passed away early; now they are watching over us from heaven. Go and offer them some incense, and from now on, you will be the legitimate young master of the Li Family."

Hearing this, Mobai immediately looked up at Jiang Baobao, his eyes filled with inquiry.

Jiang Baobao nodded gently and whispered: "Go ahead, Mommy and Great-Grandpa are both right here."

Yanbao also took Mobai's hand and offered: "Mobai, I'll go in with you. I come here to offer incense with Daddy every year, you don't need to be afraid."

With the encouragement of Jiang Baobao and Yanbao, Mobai nodded, took Yanbao's hand, and walked in together.

Soon, the two of them finished offering the incense.

Li Laoyezi was overjoyed, pulled his two great-grandsons downstairs, and had Jiang Baobao sit beside him again.

"Girl Jiang, where have you been all these years? Have you been abroad the whole time? You disappeared without a word back then, and Grandpa has always blamed himself..."

Recalling the events of that year, Li Laoyezi's expression was filled with emotion.

Jiang Baobao also sighed in her heart; she remembered what happened back then, but she didn't want to bring it up again.

"Grandpa, the past is in the past. I'm doing very well now, and I haven't suffered any grievances all these years, so you don't need to blame yourself."

Jiang Baobao smiled with a look of relief, but when she saw the two little ones beside her looking puzzled, her heart skipped a beat.

She couldn't let these two little ones know about her and Li Beijue's past!

Thinking this, Jiang Baobao hurriedly changed the subject: "Grandpa, the past is in the past. How is your health lately? You look just as robust as you did a few years ago! You don't look like someone who is almost eighty at all!"

Hearing this, Li Laoyezi burst into laughter; the topic was successfully diverted, but a dark glint flashed in the depths of his eyes.

Girl Jiang doesn't want to mention the past; could it be... she has really let it go?

Mobai and Yanbao listened to the two chatting from the side, and couldn't help but exchange a look.

The two sat closer to the edge of the sofa and whispered to each other.

"Yanbao, Mommy and Great-Grandpa seem to have a really good relationship!"

Mobai said in a low voice, his eyes constantly glancing in Jiang Baobao's direction.

Yanbao's face also carried some excitement as he whispered back: "Great-Grandpa and Mommy get along really well! Since Mommy came with us today, does that mean she plans to make up with Daddy?"

Yanbao had been keeping this matter in mind, and his big eyes were full of anticipation.

The two were whispering to each other when they heard movement at the door again.

The people in the living room looked toward the door subconsciously and saw a group of three people walking in.

"Grandpa, we're back."

Li Beichen walked in carrying supplements for Li Laoyezi and greeted them with a smile.

Immediately, his eyes subconsciously looked toward Jiang Baobao, and his gaze brightened involuntarily.

Jiang Baobao!

She had actually returned!

She looked even more beautiful than before, and... she had an air of a mature woman about her!

Li Beichen's gaze went somewhat blank.

Seeing this, Li Xinghua hurriedly gave a light cough, which finally brought him back to his senses.

"Dad, our meeting over there ended early, so we came back ahead of schedule."

As Li Xinghua spoke, he sat down on the sofa, bringing Li Beichen and a woman dressed in an elegant, wealthy manner beside him.

This person was none other than Li Beichen's biological mother, Qin Wanqing.

Li Beijue swept a faint glance over the three of them and shifted his gaze away expressionlessly, too lazy to even offer a greeting.

Immediately after, Qin Wanqing's shrill voice was heard saying: "Old Master, Beichen heard he was coming to see you and spent several days specifically picking out these supplements! He hasn't even slept well these past two days; he's even developed dark circles! I told him you aren't lacking anything here, but he wouldn't listen and insisted on choosing a couple of precious items to bring over for you!"

Qin Wanqing's tone was full of showing off; after she finished speaking, her eyes circled the room, and she asked with feigned confusion: "Beijue, since you all came back so early, didn't you bring anything back? It wouldn't have been too late to buy something on the way!"
