Chapter 1555: These two people are truly a perfect match

Jiang Baobao tilted her head to look and asked, "Little Uncle, the thing you're carrying in your hand is... a pot?"

"That's right, a newly released non-stick pot."

"Did you buy this to use yourself?"

"No, it's a gift for Xiao Xiao."

Jiang Chenghao went back and carefully read the book Sister Zhang had given him.

He also deeply savored the four words "cater to someone's preferences."

In the end, he decided to give a pot to Xu Xiaoxiao!

Jiang Baobao was shocked.

She asked in confusion, "Everything is fine, why would you want to give a pot?"

"Doesn't Xiao Xiao like researching gourmet food? This non-stick pot has many functions, and it even comes with a cookbook inside. I think she might like it."

Jiang Baobao finally understood at this moment: so her Little Uncle was giving someone a gift.

But... giving a girl a pot?

That sounds so absurd!

Jiang Baobao opened her mouth to speak.

But Xu Xiaoxiao had already excitedly urged, "Let me see it quickly!"

She reached out to take it.

But Jiang Chenghao didn't give it to her; instead, he helped hold it up and said, "This is very heavy. I'll help you hold it. You can look at the outside first, and when we get back in a while, you can open it to look."

"Don't wait for a while, let's go upstairs now!"

Xu Xiaoxiao was already impatient and urged him.

Jiang Chenghao then carried the pot in one hand and supported Xu Xiaoxiao's arm with the other, walking home with her.

As for Jiang Baobao, she stood where she was, collected her thoughts for a moment, and then followed.

When Sister Zhang saw this pot, her expression was truly indescribable.

She knew why Jiang Chenghao had given the pot to Xu Xiaoxiao.

But...

What normal person would give this kind of thing to coax a girl into being happy!

Also, what other normal person would like such a gift so much...

Sister Zhang looked at the beaming Xu Xiaoxiao and thought to herself that in some respects, these two were truly a perfect match!

Xu Xiaoxiao did not know Sister Zhang's inner monologue.

She studied it with Jiang Chenghao for a while, then looked up and said, "Sister Zhang, let's use this pot to have hot pot in a little while!"

Sister Zhang responded and prepared to go out to buy ingredients.

But Jiang Baobao stopped Sister Zhang and said, "Whatever is needed, Little Uncle and I will go buy it. Sister Zhang, you stay at home and prepare the things we already have."

"This... how can I let guests go buy the groceries."

"Hey, Xiao Xiao and we are all good friends, there's no need for such formalities."

After saying this, Jiang Baobao looked at Jiang Chenghao.

Jiang Chenghao met her gaze and said, "Baobao is right. Sister Zhang, you make a list."

"Alright then."

Sister Zhang efficiently wrote down the necessary items and then handed the list to Jiang Chenghao.

Jiang Chenghao picked up his coat again and said to Xu Xiaoxiao, "Wait for us to come back obediently."

"Okay!"

Xu Xiaoxiao responded, then lowered her head and continued to study the included cookbook.

The more she looked, the more she liked this pot; she felt its functions were too powerful!

She believed that with this sharp weapon in hand, her culinary skills could also greatly improve!

Watching Xu Xiaoxiao's irrepressibly happy appearance, Jiang Chenghao couldn't help but curl his lips.

But as soon as he turned his head, he saw Jiang Baobao's thoughtful expression.

Jiang Chenghao restrained his smile and walked out the door with Jiang Baobao.

On the way, Jiang Baobao was very quiet.

So quiet that it made Jiang Chenghao a little uneasy.

Clearing his throat, Jiang Chenghao broke the silence first: "Do you have something you want to say to me?"

Yes, and there was a lot to say!

Jiang Baobao took a deep breath, turned her head, and started with the first question: "Little Uncle seems very concerned about Xiao Xiao lately?"

"Mm, her surgery was dangerous, and she needs to be taken care of."

"But your care... clearly exceeds the concern for a patient."

"That's because she is also my friend."

"Just a friend?"

Jiang Chenghao blinked and turned his head to ask, "What exactly are you trying to say?"

Jiang Baobao stopped beating around the bush and said bluntly, "Little Uncle is not a person who likes to worry about things. Usually, you only keep someone in your heart if they are very important to you. So Xiao Xiao, she..."

"Oh!"

Jiang Chenghao didn't know if it was because he felt guilty or because he was listening too intently, but he wasn't paying attention for a moment and walked straight into a railing.

Jiang Baobao hurriedly reached out to steady him and asked, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, I'm fine. That... I remember the grocery market is this way, let's not go the wrong way."

As he spoke, Jiang Chenghao took the lead and walked to the left.

He walked quite quickly, and in just two or three steps, he left Jiang Baobao behind.

Jiang Baobao looked at the back in front of her, thinking to herself... her uncle was flustered.

And his fluster was a confession in itself!

Jiang Baobao pursed her lips and stepped forward to follow him.

Afterward, Jiang Baobao did not chat with Jiang Chenghao about Xu Xiaoxiao again.

Instead, she very seriously selected ingredients.

At the beginning, Jiang Chenghao was still a bit awkward.

Only after confirming that Jiang Baobao had no intention of probing did he relax a little.

However, after buying the ingredients, Jiang Baobao did not go back with Jiang Chenghao.

Jiang Chenghao asked in confusion, "Why not go together?"

"I'm afraid that if I'm there, a certain someone won't be able to focus on enjoying the food at all."

Jiang Baobao stared at Jiang Chenghao with a smile.

Jiang Chenghao did not say anything, merely averting his gaze.

Jiang Baobao did not say more; she smiled, shook her head, and turned to leave.

As for Jiang Chenghao... he stood where he was, unable to help but knit his brows.

He felt that Jiang Baobao had already guessed something.

But why was she able to guess it? Was it because he had been too obvious?

Would that Xu Xiaoxiao discover anything?

Jiang Chenghao fell into deep thought.

At the same time, Jiang Baobao was also preoccupied with her own thoughts.

When she returned home, she found Li Beijue playing games with the children.

The room was filled with laughter and joy.

Upon seeing Jiang Baobao, Tiantian immediately ran over happily and called out, "Mommy is back!"

Yanbao and Mobai heard this and also gathered around.

Jiang Baobao stroked the children's heads, her face full of smiles.

Her smile was very warm.

Yet, Li Beijue saw something in it.

He patted the little ones on the head and said, "The desserts in the kitchen should be ready. Go eat them; Daddy will play with you again in a while."

Tiantian took Jiang Baobao's arm and asked, "Mommy, do you want to eat some?"

"Mommy will go over in a bit; you go ahead."

"Then you have to come quickly, okay?"

The children ran and jumped away.

Jiang Baobao, however, sat on the sofa listlessly.

Li Beijue sat beside her, raised his arm to drape it over Jiang Baobao's shoulder, and asked, "Something on your mind?"

Jiang Baobao leaned her head over and said lazily, "It's my uncle; he has something on his mind."

"Didn't you go to visit Xu Xiaoxiao? How come, did you run into your uncle?"

"Yeah," Jiang Baobao recalled everything from that moment and said with a bewildered expression, "Uncle was especially concerned and especially gentle toward Xiao Xiao. When I asked a couple more questions about their relationship, Uncle lost his composure! You tell me, isn't that just... liking her!"

After Jiang Baobao finished speaking, she pressed her lips together tightly.

Li Beijue rubbed her cheek and asked, "Haven't you always hoped for your uncle to start a new relationship? Now that there's a sign of it, it's a good thing."
