Chapter 169: The Sons Have Been Brainwashed

The more Lu Qing'er thought about it, the happier she became; feeling delighted, she turned around and headed back to the villa.

Just as she entered the door, Xia Huiya, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately greeted her and asked anxiously, "How was it? Mom told you! If a man has any ideas about you, he will definitely ask you out again! Did you two make any progress today?"

Lu Qing'er's face was filled with irrepressible smugness, mixed with secret joy, and she immediately replied, "I suppose you could say that. He personally drove me back just now, and... he even told me I don't need to call him President Li, and can call him by his name instead..."

"Is that so?" Xia Huiya's eyes suddenly lit up: "Then there's definitely a chance! President Li must want to pursue you! This can't be wrong!"

Xia Huiya's expression was even more excited than Lu Qing'er's; as she thought about it, she muttered to herself, "As long as you seize the opportunity, it won't be long before you marry into the Li Family..."

Lu Qing'er immediately nodded and promised, "Mom, don't worry, I definitely won't miss this! Besides, it's Li Beijue who is actively pursuing me now!"

Thinking of the way she had parted from Li Beijue at the entrance just now, Lu Qing'er couldn't help but feel a little sweet inside, though she felt even more triumphant.

In this world, there wasn't a single woman who could refuse Li Beijue.

Especially...

This was a man Jiang Baobao couldn't get, and he was about to be hers!

On the other side—

Li Beijue sat alone in the car, his brows slightly furrowed, not knowing what he was thinking about.

He pondered for two seconds, picked up his phone, and skillfully found a contact.

Looking at the three characters "Jiang Baobao" displayed on the phone...

Li Beijue's finger lifted slightly, hesitated for a moment, but then put it back down.

Today was that woman's birthday...

Li Beijue's heart suddenly stirred slightly.

After pondering for two seconds, his expression suddenly became somewhat serious again.

Forget it, the four of them are together, there shouldn't be any problems...

As for her birthday, it had nothing to do with him anyway.

Li Beijue thought this, threw his phone to the side, and restarted the car.

Evening—

Jiang Baobao had spent the whole day playing wildly with the three little ones and finally made it home before sunset.

Just as she finished parking the car, she caught a glimpse of another black car driving toward them.

Jiang Baobao was slightly stunned, and her movement to get out of the car paused for a moment.

The three little ones didn't notice anything unusual and had already quickly pushed open the doors and gotten out of the car.

The next second, they all stopped in their tracks and looked in the direction of the other car.

Seeing this, Jiang Baobao couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, and she also pushed open the car door and stepped out.

The next second, she heard a soft sound come from the opposite car door.

Li Beijue stepped out of the car, and the first thing he saw was the three little ones looking at him expressionlessly.

He was slightly stunned, rarely caught off guard.

The atmosphere was inexplicably eerie.

Yanbao and Mobai neither moved nor greeted Li Beijue as they usually did.

Li Beijue couldn't help but feel a bit strange.

He had no choice but to take the initiative and ask, "Yanbao, Mobai, how was your day today?"

As soon as his words fell, he heard Mobai "huff," and without looking back, he walked toward the villa.

With him taking the lead, Yanbao and Tiantian hurriedly followed, not saying a single extra word, and followed behind him, also ignoring Li Beijue.

Jiang Baobao saw this and almost couldn't hold back the laughter that had reached her lips.

Were these three little ones angry at Li Beijue?

They were actually ignoring him directly!

Jiang Baobao felt a bit of schadenfreude; just as she was about to go straight inside, the next second, she saw two sharp and cold gazes looking in her direction.

Jiang Baobao sneered in her heart, didn't stop her feet, and walked past Li Beijue with an unchanging expression, heading straight into the villa.

Li Beijue stood where he was, completely ignored, and couldn't help but feel a bit furious, though he was even more confused.

Were Yanbao and Mobai throwing a tantrum at him?

What did that woman say to them today?

Li Beijue took a deep breath and strode toward the villa, his whole body radiating coldness.

If he had known, he wouldn't have let that woman, Jiang Baobao, take them out alone!

Was she planning to seize every opportunity to create a rift between him and Yanbao and Mobai!

He had already warned her many times to stop having such thoughts!

Li Beijue took a deep breath and went straight to the second floor.

But before he could even turn the corner, he heard a burst of laughter coming from Jiang Baobao's room.

Li Beijue's footsteps paused, and he stood where he was, hearing the three little ones seemingly coaxing Jiang Baobao to play games with them.

Li Beijue listened for a few seconds, but in the end, he didn't continue forward and instead turned and went to the study upstairs.

It wasn't until dinner time that he reappeared in the living room.

Before he could even walk to the dining table, he heard the three little ones chattering away, talking to Jiang Baobao about something, seemingly discussing topics related to a birthday.

Li Beijue walked over with an expressionless face.

The next second—

The dining table instantly went quiet.

The three little ones shut their mouths almost simultaneously and looked toward Li Beijue in unison.

But they only stared at him for a few seconds before turning their heads again, lively and noisily chatting with Jiang Baobao.

Li Beijue took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and reached the limit of his patience.

"Jiang Baobao, I have something to say to you."

He stepped forward two paces and spoke in a low voice.

Jiang Baobao was slightly stunned, and just as she was about to speak, she heard Mobai say irritably, "Daddy, we are talking to Mommy, can you not interrupt?"

The little one's tone was completely blunt, and he didn't even look at Li Beijue while speaking, looking as arrogant as could be.

This was the first time Li Beijue had been treated this way, and he was instantly overcome with anger.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard Yanbao follow up, "Daddy, today is Mommy's birthday; whatever you have to say, say it tomorrow."

Yanbao's tone was equally cold, not at all as well-behaved as usual.

As for Tiantian, she was too lazy to even speak, simply sticking close to Jiang Baobao in a well-behaved manner.

Li Beijue's brows were furrowed tightly, and he clenched his fists abruptly.

What on earth was wrong with these two little ones?

Why did they suddenly have this attitude toward him?

Just as he was thinking this, the next second, he saw Zheng Bo walking out of the kitchen with the family's chefs and servants.

Zheng Bo immediately said with a smile, "Young Master, please sit down; the young masters specifically ordered the kitchen to make many dishes today!"

Li Beijue suddenly had a way out, and since he didn't want to leave just like that, he simply sat down in his usual seat.

Immediately after, he saw the three little ones each pick up a dish and put it into Jiang Baobao's bowl, smiling and asking her to taste them.

Li Beijue felt somewhat displeased inside.

"Ahem!" He coughed deliberately.

Mobai and Tiantian showed no reaction at all.

Even Yanbao, who was usually the most well-behaved and obedient, acted as if he hadn't heard anything.

Li Beijue felt even more frustrated.

Just as he was about to cough again, he heard Jiang Baobao say with a smile, "Thank you, my darlings! Today's dishes are all so delicious!"

Li Beijue's hand gripping his chopsticks tightened abruptly, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

This woman was doing it on purpose!

It must be her who taught Yanbao and Mobai to act like this!
