Chapter 153: We Will Remarry
Li Laoyezi successfully misunderstood Jiang Baobao's previous words and was extremely satisfied in his heart.
Mobai and Yanbao also excitedly held hands, squeezed each other's fingers, and wore their happiness all over their faces.
Mommy and Daddy aren't considering marriage now, but they definitely will after a while!
By then, we'll really be one family!
The people in the living room all had their own thoughts at this moment; only Jiang Baobao and Li Beijue felt a complex mix of emotions.
Jiang Baobao gave a speechless glance at Li Beichen, who had been the first to bring up this topic.
This younger brother of Li Beijue's really knows how to touch a sore spot!
No wonder he kept staring at her earlier; so that was what he wanted to ask!
When Li Beijue gets married, what does that have to do with him?
Jiang Baobao didn't understand the ins and outs between these two brothers and complained speechlessly in her heart.
She turned her brain rapidly, trying hard to think of what kind of topic she should find to divert everyone's attention.
However, out of the corner of her eye, she saw a middle-aged woman wearing an apron walking over.
"Old Master, the meal is almost ready; let's go to the dining table to chat."
Jiang Baobao suddenly let out a huge sigh of relief and hurriedly echoed, "Grandpa, let's go to the dining table to chat."
Li Laoyezi nodded and stood up leaning on his cane, but he looked toward the direction of the door.
He then said with a dissatisfied expression, "Beijue, call your uncle and tell him to be back within an hour. If he can't make it back..."
"If I can't make it back, what do you plan to do to me?" Before Li Laoyezi finished speaking, a man's voice filled with wry laughter came from the doorway.
Jiang Baobao looked over subconsciously and saw Li Xiao walking in.
Thinking of the scene where she and Li Beijue were teased by him that day, her expression suddenly became somewhat unnatural.
Li Xiao hadn't expected Jiang Baobao to be here either; he was stunned for a moment before smiling and teasing, "Beijue actually brought a family member with him today; that's truly rare."
"Uncle..." Li Beijue felt somewhat helpless upon hearing this.
What family member?
If it weren't for Grandpa insisting on inviting her, Jiang Baobao wouldn't have appeared here!
And she had just said those words that caused a misunderstanding!
Jiang Baobao also smiled awkwardly and didn't dare to speak carelessly again.
Immediately after, she heard Li Laoyezi let out a cold snort of annoyance: "Hmph, so you know how to come? I thought I'd have to send someone specifically to pick you up!"
"Dad, how could I trouble you? Didn't I come back on my own? I heard you telling Beijue to call me while I was changing my shoes at the door, so I hurried in!"
Li Xiao explained with a casual expression. Seeing that Mobai and Yanbao were both looking at him, he waved his hand casually and greeted them: "Hi..."
"You have no sense of propriety! Do you have any dignity as an uncle?"
Li Laoyezi couldn't help but reprimand him from the side.
Li Xiao, however, amusedly stepped forward, sat down beside Mobai and Yanbao, and explained innocently, "Dad, I'm only in my early thirties. It's just that my seniority is a bit high; otherwise, where else in the world would you find an uncle as young as me? You're making me sound old..."
Li Xiao said with dissatisfaction, rubbing the little heads of the two children.
Jiang Baobao couldn't help but want to laugh.
Li Xiao had a handsome face that naturally attracted attention; not only did he not look like he was in his early thirties, but he actually made people think he was only in his twenties.
For a man like him, who could attract women's gazes wherever he went, to be chased by two five-year-old children calling him "uncle," the scene was truly... funny.
Li Laoyezi shook his head helplessly. Thinking about it, he felt what Li Xiao said was also right, so he had no choice but to stop saying anything.
After all, Li Xiao was his most pampered youngest son.
With Li Xiao here, the atmosphere in the villa instantly changed.
The family sat down at the dining table, and Li Laoyezi picked up his chopsticks first; only then did the others follow suit.
Jiang Baobao took care of the two little ones eating as usual.
Li Laoyezi saw this and couldn't help but nod in his heart with satisfaction.
He had previously worried that since Yanbao didn't grow up by Jiang Baobao's side, she might favor Mobai too much.
But looking at it now, his previous thoughts were indeed unnecessary.
Mobai and Yanbao were eating their food obediently, but their little eyes kept scanning each other from time to time.
Mommy isn't putting food in Daddy's bowl!
She clearly did it when we were at home before!
Mobai's big eyes rolled around, and he suddenly asked loudly, "Mommy! Why are you only putting food in my and Yanbao's bowls today, and not Daddy's?"
Jiang Baobao's hand holding the chopsticks stiffened abruptly, and the expression on her face suddenly became quite colorful.
This little guy!
Why bring this up now of all times!
Feeling the gazes of everyone at the table looking over, Jiang Baobao really wanted to disappear on the spot.
The expression on Li Beijue's face also stiffened for a rare moment, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Explaining or not explaining would both lead to misunderstandings.
The two of them maintained a tacit silence.
Immediately after, they heard Li Xiao tease, "Mobai, that kind of thing is only for when you family members are eating together; you'll understand when you grow up."
"Oh! So that's how it is!"
Mobai nodded in sudden realization. As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Li Laoyezi let out a hearty laugh.
It seems his guess was indeed correct!
If the two of them are already putting food in each other's bowls while eating, what else could their relationship be?
It's just that brat Beijue who is too stubborn to admit it!
The more Li Laoyezi thought about it, the more satisfied he became, and the smile on his face made Jiang Baobao groan inwardly.
It's over...
Now even if I jumped into the Yellow River, I couldn't wash myself clean!
Anything I explain now will just sound like a cover-up!
She didn't know what to say, so she could only force a laugh and silently lower her head to eat her meal.
Opposite her, the expressions of Qin Wanqing's family were also somewhat subtle.
Li Xinghua exchanged a look with Qin Wanqing without a sound, then looked at Li Beichen with a worried expression.
Qin Wanqing narrowed her eyes slightly, a trace of calculation flashing in their depths.
She had originally wanted to wait a little longer, but since Beijue really was going to get back together with Jiang Baobao...
Qin Wanqing felt a bit tense inside and hurriedly smiled to smooth things over, saying, "Li Xiao, stop teasing them. Miss Jiang clearly has a thin skin; let them handle their own affairs."
She spoke as if she were being kind, and as soon as her voice fell, she hurriedly brought up another topic, continuing, "Beijue, I actually just remembered something, and it's a good opportunity to ask you today."
Li Beijue paused slightly and raised his eyes to look at the person opposite him.
Seeing his expression, Qin Wanqing felt displeased and let out a cold snort in her heart, yet she still maintained a harmonious facade on her face and asked with a smile, "Beichen has been at the branch company for two years now and has gained enough experience. When do you think he can join Li Corporation to work? Even if he isn't by your side, Li Corporation is full of talent, and it would be good for him to learn more."
As soon as these words were spoken, the dining table fell silent for a moment.
Jiang Baobao's brow twitched, and she revealed a look of someone ready to watch a good show.
Tsk tsk tsk... This Qin Wanqing is truly not someone to be trifled with!
