Chapter 209: Li Beijue Must Have Taken the Wrong Medicine

Jiang Baobao was stunned upon hearing this, and her confusion regarding Li Beijue's expression deepened.

Was he really here to pick her up?

Since when was he so kind? Li Beijue was very satisfied with the effect of his words, a dark glint flashing in his eyes before he continued, "Mobai and Yanbao have been waiting up for you quite late recently. You should go back early so you can keep them company."

After Li Beijue finished speaking, he suddenly felt much more at ease.

Jiang Baobao also reacted, a look of sudden realization instantly appearing on her face.

No wonder he came to pick her up today; it was all for those little ones...

Jiang Baobao suddenly felt a bit gratified, but thinking of the team members behind her, she felt a bit troubled for a moment.

She had already promised to treat them to a good meal, so it wouldn't be right to break her word at the last minute, and they still needed to discuss several training plans over dinner...

If everyone had lived together before, there wouldn't be this kind of trouble, and she could have even taken the little ones out to dinner together!

It was all Li Beijue's fault for insisting on keeping the three little ones confined to the Li Mansion, leaving her caught in the middle!

Jiang Baobao pondered for two seconds before saying, "I think I will still be back a bit late today. I will try my best to be earlier in the coming days. I will call Mobai and Yanbao myself in a moment to apologize."

After she finished speaking, Li Beijue remained standing where he was, not moving.

Jiang Baobao frowned slightly, her expression somewhat puzzled.

She had already made it clear, so why did Li Beijue still have no reaction?

The atmosphere became somewhat stiff for a moment.

Shen Lingfeng also spoke up, "President Li, we are about to take the team members out for dinner, you..."

He signaled that Li Beijue should leave.

Upon hearing this, Li Beijue immediately said, "Dinner, is it? It just so happens I can go with you all. Today I..."

"There's no need to treat us." Jiang Baobao suddenly interrupted him, her expression somewhat helpless.

What on earth was wrong with Li Beijue today?

It was one thing to suddenly show up to pick her up, but now he wanted to eat together too?

With that ice-cold face of his sitting there, it would be a miracle if it didn't affect her team members' moods!

Jiang Baobao took a deep breath and patiently refused, "Today is an internal meeting for our Team, and we need to discuss some tactics. It probably wouldn't be convenient for you to be present. With this time, you might as well go back and keep Yanbao and Mobai company. Between the two of us, at least one of us should be at home, right?"

Jiang Baobao threw the question back at Li Beijue.

Li Beijue was slightly taken aback, and for a moment, he actually didn't know what to say in rebuttal.

The team members looked at one another, all sensing something unusual, and exchanged glances.

Shen Lingfeng was no longer his usual gentle self, but was looking at Jiang Baobao with some concern.

What exactly did Li Beijue mean?

Didn't Baobao say that there was no possibility between the two of them anymore?

What was he doing...

The air fell into silence once again.

Jiang Baobao sighed in her heart, wanting only to leave quickly.

She casually took out her phone and sent a message to the team's driver.

Two minutes later, the team's dedicated bus slowly circled out from behind the villa.

"We're leaving first, you hurry home to keep the children company!"

Jiang Baobao dropped this sentence and, without looking back, boarded the bus with her team members.

The vehicle slowly started, and no one in the group spoke.

Seeing the bus drive out of the villa, the group finally couldn't hold it in anymore.

"Boss, you and our financial backer, really... are you okay?"

Ke Hao's tone was full of gossip.

As soon as he finished speaking, the group immediately looked at Jiang Baobao in unison, their eyes full of curiosity.

There must be a story between the boss and the financial backer!

Jiang Baobao remained expressionless, but her brain was racing, trying to figure out how to answer this question.

If she didn't satisfy these guys' curiosity, they definitely wouldn't let it go...

But her own affairs weren't really worth sharing.

Just as she was thinking, she heard Xiao Ding chime in, "Boss, you say... you two already have children together, have you considered being together? Regardless of what happened before, I feel like the relationship between you two now... seems quite harmonious..."

"Which eye of yours saw that our relationship was harmonious?" Jiang Baobao finally couldn't help but retort, her tone full of helplessness.

Shen Lingfeng couldn't listen anymore from the side and couldn't help but say, "You all don't know anything, so stop trying to play matchmaker..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he heard Ano from the side add, "Brother Shen, how are we playing matchmaker? If there were a possibility between you and the boss, we wouldn't worry about her lifelong happiness! It's just a pity that you two have been together for so many years and haven't even had a single spark..."

As soon as Ano finished speaking, the rest of them couldn't help but laugh.

Even Jiang Baobao had a smile on her face, and she hurriedly changed the subject, "Who told you that your Brother Shen is my good buddy! I only regret that I'm not a man myself; otherwise, not only could I play matches with you all, but I might even be able to become sworn siblings with your Brother Shen!"

"Women can be sworn siblings too! You two should do it right now! We can all be your witnesses!" Lao K, who rarely spoke, finally opened his mouth, and the group laughed and joked together.

Shen Lingfeng listened silently from the side, a bitter smile flashing across his face.

Buddy...

Was he only destined to stay by Baobao's side with this identity?

On the other side, Li Beijue drove home alone, feeling depressed.

As soon as he entered the door, he heard the three little ones making a racket in the living room, seemingly chatting about what happened at kindergarten today.

"Daddy! You're back earlier than Mommy again today!"

Yanbao was still the first person to speak and greet Li Beijue.

Li Beijue nodded, originally intending to return to the study to work, but suddenly changed his mind and sat down on the sofa.

He had been very busy during this period, and every time he returned home, he went straight into the study; it seemed there hadn't been a single time he had accompanied the three little ones to play here...

Thinking this, Li Beijue relaxed completely, leaning back against the sofa and listening to the three little ones chat.

They seemed to be talking about the class's most recent handicraft assignment.

Only to hear Tiantian say: "The teacher said! The cake I made with colored paper looks especially good! I think I'll be in the top three at least tomorrow!"

As soon as her voice fell, Mobai also spoke up: "My airplane isn't bad either! Then I should also be in the top three!"

Listening to the two little ones' words, Li Beijue couldn't help but want to laugh for a moment.

Immediately after, he heard Yanbao also say unhurriedly: "I don't know what place I can get... but the important thing about this kind of competition is participating!"

Listening to this, Li Beijue couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Yanbao was indeed the most steady one among the three of them...

But compared to Mobai, he certainly lacked a lot of a child's liveliness.

It was because he had been too strict with him before...

Li Beijue shook his head in his heart and continued to listen to the three little ones chat, but his gaze slowly fell upon Tiantian.

His gaze swept across Tiantian's lively little face, yet a strange feeling emerged from the bottom of his heart.
