Chapter 168: Li Beijue's Miserable Sabotage

Jiang Baobao did not notice anything unusual at all; she happily placed the cake on the table, intending to open it.

Mobai suddenly spoke up loudly: "Mommy! Girls shouldn't eat too much cake! Otherwise, you'll get fat!"

Yanbao also chimed in: "Right! Having hot pot today is enough! You don't necessarily have to eat cake!"

Jiang Baobao did not know what the two little ones meant by this and was unable to react for a moment.

She blinked her eyes and couldn't help but ask with amusement: "But you all ordered the cake; even if Mommy doesn't eat it, I should at least insert the candles and make a wish, right?"

As Jiang Baobao said this, she had already reached out to untie the ribbon on the cake box.

Tiantian had not participated in the two of them ordering the cake and was also a bit confused, but being greedy for sweets, she hurriedly followed Jiang Baobao and started to open it as well.

On Mobai and Yanbao's identical little faces, the same look of nervousness suddenly appeared.

The next second, the lid of the cake box was opened by Jiang Baobao.

A round cake appeared before her eyes.

The pattern on the edge of the cake was simple, but the decorations on top, made of cream and small figurines, were extremely exquisite.

It was made to look like a garden, with a swing and small flowers of various colors on it.

Most importantly, in the very center of the cake, five little figures were drawn in cream.

Besides three cute children, there was also a woman wearing a long dress and a man wearing a suit.

Who these two adults were, it went without saying.

Jiang Baobao's expression stiffened for a moment.

Tiantian also revealed a speechless expression.

No wonder the brothers were being so mysterious when they ordered the cake!

So they had specifically found someone to make this pattern!

That stinky Daddy is truly too annoying!

Jiang Baobao had not expected the cake to look like this; thinking of the person she had just seen, and then looking at the family of five on the cake who looked so happy, she felt it was somewhat ironic for a moment.

No wonder these two little ones were so nervous just now.

So it was because of the pattern on the cake...

Jiang Baobao's gaze flickered for a moment, and catching a glimpse of Yanbao and Mobai's nervous expressions, she hurriedly said with a smile: "Wow! This cake is just too beautiful!"

"Mommy..."

Mobai spoke in a low voice, calling out to Jiang Baobao.

Jiang Baobao reached out and rubbed his little head, smiling as she said: "You little one, why do you think so much? You bought Mommy a necklace and ordered a cake; Mommy loves you all too much to be unhappy over such a small thing, right?"

Upon hearing this, Mobai and Yanbao nodded gently, and the expressions on their faces finally relaxed quite a bit.

Jiang Baobao hurriedly smiled and took out the candles, personally inserting them into the cake.

"Mommy! Hurry and make a wish!"

The three little ones couldn't help but urge her from the side.

Jiang Baobao nodded, looked at the flickering candlelight before her, and gently closed her eyes.

With these three treasures by her side, she no longer had any extravagant wishes.

If she really had to say one...

She only hoped that the three of them could grow up healthy, safe, and happy.

Jiang Baobao said silently in her heart.

After finishing, she slowly opened her eyes, blew out all the candles in one breath, and then said loudly with a smile: "Alright! Wish-making over! Time to eat cake!"

As she spoke, she casually grabbed the plastic cake knife from the side, pondered for two seconds, and then, without hesitation, cut directly into the little figure in the suit on the cake!

Mobai and Yanbao were both stunned for a moment, unable to help but want to laugh.

Jiang Baobao, however, pretended that nothing had happened and quickly cut a piece of cake for each of the three little ones.

Then she picked up her fork and looked down at the cake in front of her for a moment.

The cream figure's face was somewhat stern, exactly the same as that certain guy who was always pulling a long face.

A trace of annoyance flashed in the depths of Jiang Baobao's eyes, and without hesitation, she speared a large piece and put it into her mouth!

Hmph!

Although she couldn't be bothered to argue, having that certain person appear on her cake was still a bit of an eyesore!

Better to just eat him up!

Watching her eat the cake with such swift movements, Mobai and Yanbao subconsciously exchanged a look.

Mommy really is still a bit angry!

Daddy really went too far this time!

We must "punish" him!

On the other side—

Lu Qing'er looked at Li Beijue, who was sitting opposite her, with a somewhat infatuated expression, feeling as if she were dreaming.

She never imagined that one day she would be able to eat with her dream lover in such a high-end restaurant.

"Why aren't you eating? Is the food not to your taste?"

Seeing that Lu Qing'er hadn't moved for a long time, Li Beijue couldn't help but ask.

Lu Qing'er immediately feigned a ladylike smile and explained softly: "It's not that, the food here is delicious, it's just..."

Her mind stirred slightly, and she deliberately said: "It's just that I don't know why my appetite has been poor lately; everything tastes the same..."

Upon hearing this, Li Beijue paused slightly, a trace of concern appearing in his eyes, and he asked with care: "It might be the weather lately. If you need to, I can introduce a few good doctors to take a look at you so you can properly recuperate when you go back."

Hearing this, Lu Qing'er was instantly overjoyed.

Li Beijue was concerned about her!

She felt a bit smug, yet she still put on an indifferent expression on her face and shook her head: "No need, thank you President Li, it might be because I haven't been resting well lately..."

Hearing her form of address, Li Beijue suddenly frowned slightly.

He pondered for two seconds, then suddenly spoke: "No need to call me President Li, you can call me by my name directly."

"Name?" Upon hearing this, Lu Qing'er was stunned, clearly not expecting that she would actually receive such treatment.

She was ecstatic in her heart, and after thinking for a long while, she gathered her courage and tentatively asked: "Then... may I call you Beijue?"

"You may." Li Beijue nodded indifferently.

Lu Qing'er instantly pretended to be shy and lowered her head, nearly failing to hide the smugness in her eyes.

The two of them had a very pleasant lunch.

After lunch, Li Beijue personally drove her back.

Lu Qing'er stepped out of the car, but she couldn't help but feel a trace of doubt in her heart.

She pondered for two seconds, then still asked: "Beijue, may I know... why did you suddenly want to ask me out for lunch?"

Li Beijue's gaze flickered for an instant; not wanting to scare the person before him, he countered: "Have I caused you any trouble?"

"Of course not." Lu Qing'er hurriedly shook her head.

A trace of a smile flashed in Li Beijue's eyes, and he then said in a low voice: "Then go on in, we'll eat together again when there's time."

"Okay." Lu Qing'er's heart surged with excitement, and she agreed very readily.

It wasn't until she watched Li Beijue's car drive away that she suddenly snapped back to reality.

Li Beijue actually asked if he had caused her any trouble?

So... was he trying to pursue her?

Then this must be the ambiguous phase between the two of them!
