Chapter 208: The Flowers Were Sent by Li Beijue

Jiang Baobao discovered that Li Beijue seemed to have no major reaction to this matter.

Her mind stirred slightly, and she tentatively spoke up: "Let's unwrap these flowers. We can put some on the dining table in the living room and in the rooms of Yanbao and the others..."

As she spoke, she observed Li Beijue's expression.

Zheng Bo was also watching Li Beijue out of the corner of his eye.

Seeing that he didn't speak, he then agreed: "Yes, I will go prepare it right away."

Several servants immediately stepped forward, carried the flowers to the side together, and began to unwrap them.

Yanbao, however, was incredibly curious and couldn't help but ask: "Mommy, who exactly sent these flowers?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Baobao had no choice but to answer with a wry smile: "Mommy doesn't know who sent them either. Once Mommy figures it out, I'll definitely tell you, okay?"

Her voice had just fallen when she saw the little one before her, whose expression instantly became excited, and he spoke without thinking: "If you don't know who sent them, then it must have been Daddy who sent them!"

Mobai also suddenly chimed in from the side: "Right! It must have been Daddy who sent them!"

As the two little ones spoke, they turned their heads together and looked at Li Beijue with faces full of expectation.

Li Beijue paused slightly; thinking of how Jiang Baobao hadn't been very happy just now, his mood was somewhat subtle for a moment, and he only said indifferently: "Go eat breakfast first. Once you're done, I'll take you to kindergarten."

He deliberately changed the subject and walked toward the dining table.

The three little ones exchanged glances, checked the time, and had no choice but to quickly sit by the dining table.

After finishing breakfast, Jiang Baobao and Li Beijue both got into the car together to take the three little ones to kindergarten.

Jiang Baobao's car had not yet been cleared, so for this period, the two of them had been using one car.

Inside the car—

Jiang Baobao spent the whole way looking out the window, somewhat absent-minded.

Who on earth sent that bouquet of flowers?

Not many people knew she was living at the Li Mansion; only Xiao Tang and that group of brats who just returned... and then there was only Li Beijue left.

How could that guy possibly send her flowers?

And such a huge bouquet at that!

Jiang Baobao shook her head inwardly, ruling out every suspicious person one by one.

Even until she watched the three little ones walk into the kindergarten hand-in-hand, she was still pondering this matter in her heart.

Then, she suddenly heard Li Beijue's voice ring out in her ear.

"You..."

He only said one word before stopping, seemingly somewhat hesitant.

Jiang Baobao snapped back to reality and subconsciously asked in return: "Hm? What?"

Li Beijue did not speak.

After another pause of a few seconds, he then continued to ask: "Do you not like roses?"

"Huh?"

Jiang Baobao didn't react for a moment, not understanding why he would ask this.

Then, her eyes widened abruptly, and she asked in disbelief: "Why are you asking this? Those flowers couldn't have been sent by you, could they?"

Her expression held no surprise, only shock; if anything, it was more of a fright.

The expression on Li Beijue's face stiffened for an instant, and his hand resting on the steering wheel gripped tightly.

Only then did he grit his teeth and say, word by word: "No, it, wasn't."

His voice had just fallen when he instantly saw Jiang Baobao heave a heavy sigh of relief.

"It's good that it wasn't, it's good that it wasn't..."

Jiang Baobao reached out to gently stroke her chest, and the heavy stone in her heart fell with a thud.

It's a good thing this guy didn't send them!

If it really were him, that would be too ridiculous!

Li Beijue looked at Jiang Baobao's relaxed expression and suddenly felt a little bit displeased.

What kind of expression was that?

Was there something wrong with him sending her flowers?

Li Beijue suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, as if there were a breath stuck there, neither going up nor down.

Jiang Baobao, however, was completely unaware; after speaking, she pushed open the car door, ready to get out.

Li Beijue hurriedly asked: "Where are you going?"

"Me? Where else would I go? To the Base, of course."

Jiang Baobao answered casually, and as she spoke, she had already slammed the car door shut with a bang, not even bothering to say goodbye, and walked toward the other side of the road without hesitation.

Li Beijue watched Jiang Baobao's back, but in his mind, he couldn't help but recall the intimate way she looked when she was with Shen Lingfeng.

She had been running over there every day lately, and she spent a lot of time with that Shen Lingfeng...

Li Beijue narrowed his eyes slightly; besides feeling stifled, he began to feel a bit sour in his heart.

No!

He couldn't wait any longer!

He had to take the initiative!

Evening.

Jiang Baobao had spent the whole day at the Base busy formulating training plans for everyone.

It wasn't until dusk that she finally got some time to rest, and she collapsed onto the sofa.

"How is it? After resting for so long, do you feel a bit unaccustomed to suddenly starting work again?"

Shen Lingfeng walked over carrying a glass of lemonade and set it down on the table in front of her with a smile.

Jiang Baobao shook her head helplessly and rubbed her brow with a look of exhaustion.

"I really have been too lax lately; it seems I'm not quite used to the work rhythm..."

Jiang Baobao replied with a smile, checked the time, suddenly remembered something, and said, "Right, didn't we say we'd take those brats out for a treat tonight? They've been clamoring for crawfish, and there happens to be a pretty good restaurant nearby..."

As she spoke, Jiang Baobao casually grabbed her bag.

Shen Lingfeng nodded in agreement, "Then I'll go call them. The training duration for today is about enough, and before the competition registration, we can still let them relax a few more times."

As he spoke, he turned and headed toward the training room.

Jiang Baobao, meanwhile, intended to go outside and find the driver to take the car.

But to her surprise, the moment she opened the door, she saw someone who shouldn't have been there at this time standing outside.

"Li Beijue? What are you doing here?"

Jiang Baobao frowned as she looked at the man standing in front of the car door, her expression somewhat hesitant.

Why did it feel like Li Beijue had been haunting her lately?

Clearly, they only used to run into each other at the villa at night, but now...

Jiang Baobao felt a bit strange inside, though she couldn't quite put her finger on what exactly was odd.

Li Beijue gave a light cough, his expression also becoming somewhat unnatural.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard voices coming from behind Jiang Baobao.

"Boss, where are we going to eat crawfish? The shrimp must be big!"

Xiao Ding was saying with a grin, but as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Li Beijue standing outside the door, his footsteps coming to an abrupt halt as he raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Why is our financial backer here? Is there something you need to discuss with our boss?"

He asked curiously.

Immediately after, he saw Li Beijue nod.

"I am here to pick her up."

Li Beijue uttered these six words unhurriedly, his gaze slowly sweeping over Shen Lingfeng, and sure enough, he saw him frowning at him.
