Chapter 165: A Surprise for Mommy

Mobai and Yanbao both looked at Li Beijue with expressions of anticipation.

Jiang Baobao's expression was also somewhat tense.

In all fairness, she did not want to spend her birthday with Li Beijue, but she was afraid of disappointing the two little ones, so she felt somewhat conflicted in her heart for a moment.

Li Beijue's gaze flickered for an instant, and after a long silence, he refused in a deep voice: "I still have work today; you all go and play."

As he spoke, his eyes swept over Jiang Baobao without any emotion, and he strode toward the direction of the door.

Yanbao and Mobai were both stunned for a moment, wanting to chase after him, but it was already a bit too late.

The two of them looked at each other, their expressions carrying a hint of slight annoyance.

They had only been focused on picking out a birthday gift for Mommy during this time; if they had known, they should have invited Daddy more often!

They had thought that on Mommy's birthday, he would definitely agree!

Things having reached this point, it was obviously too late to do anything, so the two little ones had no choice but to obediently sit back down beside Jiang Baobao.

Jiang Baobao, however, did not take what just happened to heart at all; instead, she felt a sense of relief.

She looked at Mobai and Yanbao, who both looked somewhat regretful, and hurriedly comforted them: "Alright, it's the same if we go out to play by ourselves. Today is Mommy's birthday, not your Daddy's birthday. Mommy is the main character today, isn't she?"

"That's right! Today is Mommy's birthday!" Tiantian also didn't care about Li Beijue at all and deliberately chimed in loudly.

Hearing this, Mobai and Yanbao hurriedly cheered up.

Yanbao was sensitive and thoughtful; fearing that Jiang Baobao might be unhappy, he hurriedly explained: "Mommy, Mobai and I just thought it would be happier if the whole family went out together, but it doesn't matter if Daddy isn't here! Mommy is the most important today!"

"Right! Mommy is the most important today!" Mobai also said.

Hearing this, Jiang Baobao immediately smiled and nodded repeatedly, rubbed the little ones' small heads, then quickly finished the longevity noodles in front of her, and happily took the three little ones out the door.

Jiang Baobao had originally planned to take them to a place like an amusement park, but she didn't expect that once they got in the car, the three little ones would wave their hands and specifically name the largest shopping mall in the city.

Jiang Baobao was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but ask: "The three of you... you don't want to accompany Mommy shopping today, do you? Mommy doesn't have anything she needs to buy recently."

Mobai immediately answered loudly: "Mommy! Listen to us today! Anyway, we just have to go to the mall!"

"Alright, alright, alright, I'll listen to you all today!" Jiang Baobao promised with a smile and quickly started the car.

Not long after, it pulled steadily to a stop outside the mall.

Today was the weekend, and there were quite a lot of people coming and going at the entrance.

As soon as the three little ones jumped out of the car, they quickly huddled together.

"Brother Mobai, are you sure the item is ordered?" Tiantian asked in a low voice.

Mobai immediately nodded with a serious face and said: "It's ordered! Mommy will definitely be very happy in a while!"

Hearing this, Yanbao asked in a low voice: "Then in a while, are we going to take Mommy to pick it up directly?"

Mobai was just about to answer when he heard Jiang Baobao ask amusedly: "What secret whispers are you three sharing? Are you hiding something from Mommy?"

Hearing this, the three little ones instantly separated.

"Mommy! We have a surprise for you!" Tiantian said with a smile.

Jiang Baobao was suddenly a bit surprised, and just as she was about to ask in detail, she heard Yanbao also say: "But we can't say it yet, Mommy will know once you come with us!"

Jiang Baobao raised an eyebrow and had no choice but to obediently shut her mouth, following the three little ones as they walked toward the interior of the mall.

As soon as they entered the door, she saw the three little ones heading straight for a light luxury jewelry store not far away!

"Are you taking Mommy there?"

Jiang Baobao paused her steps, her expression somewhat puzzled.

Immediately after, she saw little Mobai, who had the most mischievous ideas in the family, deliberately blink his eyes and say mysteriously: "Mommy will know once you come with us!"

Jiang Baobao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she had to follow.

Then, as soon as they went inside, he took out his phone watch, found the order, handed it to the clerk who came up to greet them, and said: "Big sister, I'm here to pick up the custom-made necklace."

Seeing that Mobai was very cute, the sales clerk couldn't help but smile and say: "Okay, big sister will help you check..."

As the sales clerk spoke, she quickly scanned it twice, then said: "This was custom-made by a Mr. Jiang..."

"I am Mr. Jiang."

Mobai answered with a serious face, his clear little voice immediately attracting the attention of everyone in the store.

The next second, a burst of kind laughter came from all around.

Even Jiang Baobao couldn't help but double over with laughter.

The way this round-headed, round-brained little one of hers seriously said he was "Mr. Jiang" was just too cute!

Jiang Baobao was laughing so hard that tears were almost spilling out, but out of the corner of her eye, she saw that Tiantian and Yanbao didn't seem surprised at all, and she understood instantly.

"Did you three custom-make jewelry for Mommy? Where did you get so much money?"

Jiang Baobao squatted down and asked, looking at Tiantian and Yanbao.

Yanbao and Tiantian looked at each other, then explained: "Mommy, Mobai and I took an advance on our allowance from Daddy, and Tiantian also took out the allowance she had saved up. We pooled it together, but we still didn't have enough money. When we grow up and earn big money in the future, we will buy Mommy an even more beautiful diamond necklace!"

After Yanbao finished speaking, the sales clerk happened to return with Mobai, having retrieved the necklace.

Hearing what the little one had just said, she immediately smiled and praised: "This lady, you are truly so happy! To have three such cute and thoughtful children!"

Jiang Baobao was also incredibly moved; not wanting to shed tears in front of a stranger, she hurriedly adjusted her emotions and replied with a smile: "Thank you, I also feel that having the three of them is my good fortune."

As she spoke, she reached out and took the velvet box from the sales clerk's hand.

"Mommy, hurry and open it to see if you like it!"

The three little ones urged her together, their expressions filled with the same anticipation.

Jiang Baobao nodded and gently reached out to open the lid.

The next second, she saw a small crown necklace on a silver chain slowly appear before her eyes.

On the crown, there were also three small diamonds of different colors.

Mobai had been holding it in for several days, and now that he finally caught the opportunity, he excitedly introduced: "Mommy! These three diamonds represent me, Yanbao, and Tiantian! The three of us will always be with you!"

Jiang Baobao's heart warmed, and she blinked her eyes, nearly shedding tears for real.

The small trinket in her hand was not heavy, yet at this moment, it felt as if it carried the weight of a thousand catties, pressing down heavily upon her heart.

It was the overflowing love carefully presented by the three little ones.

Jiang Baobao stared at the necklace in her hand, for a moment so moved that she did not know what to say.

She was truly too lucky to be able to have three such thoughtful treasures...

As long as they were by her side, she would not fear any difficulties!

And she would absolutely never give them up to Li Beijue!
