Chapter 152: Currently Not Planning to Get Married

~7 min read 1,386 words

Upon hearing this, Jiang Baobao's brows twitched, and she subconsciously looked in the direction of Li Beijue.

She had only met Qin Wanqing once before, back when she got married.

Afterward, Li Beijue said there was no need for contact, so she had not deliberately gone to see her.

However, she remembered that this Qin Wanqing was the mistress Li Xinghua had kept outside for a long time.

Li Beijue's father had no feelings for his mother; their marriage was purely for the sake of interests, which led to Li Beijue's biological mother eventually dying of depression. This Qin Wanqing had successfully usurped the position of the mistress, became the lady of the Li Family, and even brought along a son.

In the past, she hadn't dared to speak much in front of Li Laoyezi, but after not seeing her for a few years, she seemed to have changed quite a bit...

Jiang Baobao could not help but reveal a look of watching a good show.

She wondered how Li Beijue planned to fight back...

Just as she was thinking this, she heard Li Beichen speak: "Mom, Big Brother is so busy, it's normal for him to forget. It must be that work has been too hard lately..."

The two of them were singing in harmony, secretly trying to make Li Beijue lose face in front of Li Laoyezi.

But unexpectedly, in the next second, Li Beijue suddenly picked up the supplements that Li Beichen had brought.

Li Beichen and Qin Wanqing were both stunned, not knowing what he was going to do.

Li Beijue, however, looked at the expensive supplements he had brought without any rush, and asked indifferently: "Is this what you spent several days choosing?"

"Is there a problem?" Li Beichen immediately retorted, his expression no longer carrying the smile from just a moment ago, his brows slightly knitted.

Li Beijue remained expressionless, casually placing the items to one side.

Following that, he said unhurriedly: "If you understood these things and did a little Baidu search, you would know that the labels on these boxes do not match the contents at all, and they have already been reported by others countless times. I happen to know the best local supplier, and since the year before last, I have had the best quality supplements sent to Grandfather every two months. He is not lacking in these, so you don't need to waste money on such things in the future."

The moment his last word fell, the living room suddenly went quiet for a moment.

Li Beichen looked at the supplements he had brought, his face turning somewhat ugly.

If Li Beijue's words just now had come from anyone else's mouth, they would inevitably have had a hint of showing off.

But he said them in the most normal way possible, as if he were discussing a recent official matter, leaving no room for anyone to refute him in the slightest.

Jiang Baobao, meanwhile, was holding back laughter on the side, holding it in until her hands were trembling slightly.

Well said!

Although this guy Li Beijue is very annoying sometimes, when facing that kind of snide, passive-aggressive question just now, this is exactly how one should snap back!

A long while later—

Qin Wanqing finally snapped back to reality, hurriedly smiling to smooth things over, saying: "So that's how it is. Beijue is certainly knowledgeable, but Beichen also meant well. After we go back, I will definitely make him learn how to pick appropriate supplements properly!"

Li Beijue's gaze flickered for a moment, and he did not speak.

Fearing that Li Laoyezi might feel uncomfortable, Qin Wanqing suddenly looked at Jiang Baobao again, hurriedly changing the subject, and asked: "I wanted to ask just now, this is... Miss Jiang, right?"

"It is, hello Auntie." Jiang Baobao smiled casually and offered a greeting.

Qin Wanqing nodded, her eyes falling on Yanbao and Mobai, scanning them quickly, a flash of surprise crossing her gaze.

So they really were twins!

When she received the news before, she had wondered if Li Laoyezi had made a mistake, but she hadn't expected these two children to actually look exactly the same!

A flash of complexity crossed the depths of Qin Wanqing's eyes, and she hurriedly smiled and said: "This... which one is Yanbao, and which one is Mobai? At a glance, I can't even tell them apart..."

"Grandma, I am Yanbao." Upon hearing this, Yanbao hurriedly spoke up to greet her, his expression looking somewhat distant.

He hadn't seen Qin Wanqing many times since he was little, only knowing that she was his step-grandmother.

Mobai also hurriedly followed up with a greeting: "Hello Grandma, I am Mobai."

"Hello to you both." Qin Wanqing feigned a kind smile, tugged at Li Beichen beside her, and said politely: "This is your Uncle Beichen. If you have time in the future, you can let your uncle take you out to play."

"Mm." Yanbao nodded obediently, not saying much else.

Mobai blinked his eyes, also sensing Yanbao's attitude.

For some reason, the first time he saw Qin Wanqing, he also felt he couldn't get close to her.

Driven by Qin Wanqing, the living room became lively again.

Because of what happened just now, Li Beichen was in a bad mood and hadn't said much, just sitting silently to one side, though his eyes couldn't stop glancing at Jiang Baobao.

How did she suddenly come back?

Could it be that she is going to remarry Li Beijue?

Otherwise, she wouldn't have appeared here today...

If Li Beijue really remarried her, and now there is an extra son, the power in his hands would only grow larger and larger!

Then he wouldn't be able to get anything at all!

A dark light flashed in the depths of Li Beichen's eyes, and he suddenly asked: "Big Brother, when do you plan to hold the wedding with Big Sister-in-law? Or are you planning to just go through the remarriage procedures and skip the wedding?"

Jiang Baobao was smiling and chatting with Li Laoyezi, and upon hearing this, the smile on her face suddenly stiffened for a moment.

Li Beijue also frowned as he looked at Li Beichen, his expression somewhat displeased.

Jiang Baobao opened her mouth, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

With the two little ones present, he really had no way to just clarify the relationship between the two of them like that.

Li Beijue had the same thought.

The two of them remained silent, yet that attitude seemed to indirectly admit something.

Qin Wanqing's eyes darted between the two of them, and she silently exchanged a look with Li Xinghua.

It seems Li Beijue really is going to remarry!

Alarm bells rang in Qin Wanqing's heart, and she hurriedly feigned anger as she patted Li Beichen on the shoulder: "You child, how can you ask about such things so directly? Your Big Brother is so busy with work right now, and marriage is a major event; it certainly can't be rushed."

"Mm, we are both too busy, at the moment... we don't have that plan yet..."

Jiang Baobao let out a sharp sigh of relief and hurriedly took over the conversation.

After she finished speaking, she instantly felt Li Beijue beside her look over with a warning expression.

She subconsciously reflected on her own words just now, and immediately felt a bit of regret.

What does "too busy, no plans for now" mean?

But if she doesn't answer, how is that any different from tacitly agreeing?

No matter what, it's wrong!

Jiang Baobao sighed helplessly in her heart.

Li Laoyezi and the two little ones, however, suddenly looked delighted.

"Too busy for now, no such plans"—does that mean there will be in the future?

Li Laoyezi glanced at Li Beijue speechlessly, thinking to himself: This brat said earlier that it was impossible for them to get back together!

The way they are now, it is clear that something is going on!

Perhaps... he feels it is too embarrassing to say it out loud now, and intends to wait until he has won her over before saying anything?

Tsk tsk tsk... It seems there is no need for him to worry; perhaps he will be able to hold a great-granddaughter by next year!
