Chapter 222: Li Beijue is a Ferocious Beast

Jiang Baobao made a funny face at Cai Xiaotang, then apologized: "I'll set aside a day another time to make it up to you, okay? I've been so busy lately, and those three little ones might not say it, but they must be unhappy about it in their hearts. I have to go back and appease them first!"

As Jiang Baobao spoke, she saw a white car driving over from the distance.

"My car is here! I won't talk to you anymore! Let's connect again when I'm home!"

Jiang Baobao said this while quickly getting into the car and giving the address of the Li Mansion.

Not long after, she saw the villa appear before her eyes.

She paid the fare, immediately pushed the door open to get out, and walked quickly toward the villa's main gate.

As soon as she entered, her gaze swept quickly around the living room.

But she didn't find a single person.

"Eh? Are the three of them not home?" Jiang Baobao was truly a bit puzzled, standing in place, dazed for a moment.

Just as she was thinking, she heard Zheng Bo ask: "Miss Jiang, why are you back so early today?"

"My work this afternoon was temporarily canceled. Zheng Bo, are the children not home? Isn't today the weekend?" Jiang Baobao asked, confused.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Bo couldn't help but laugh: "Miss Jiang, today is Friday. The two young masters and Tiantian are still at school; they won't be out of class for another two hours."

"Ah... it's Friday?" Jiang Baobao was stunned for a moment, thought carefully for two seconds, and couldn't help but laugh as well.

She had been truly too busy lately, so busy that she had even forgotten what day of the week it was!

Jiang Baobao shook her head, finding it funny, and had no choice but to say helplessly: "Then I'll go upstairs to rest first, and I'll go to the school to pick them up later."

She said this and turned to walk toward the stairs.

Returning to her room, she flopped directly onto the bed.

Jiang Baobao stared at the ceiling above her, unable to help but drift off into thought.

The matter regarding her uncle must be resolved as soon as possible, but this time... what method should she use to bring him out of the Jiang Family?

It couldn't be the same as last time...

Jiang Baobao turned over helplessly, her mind a mess.

Not long after, she felt a sense of fatigue gradually washing over her.

She yawned, her eyelids feeling uncontrollably heavy.

Last night, she had been used as a body pillow by a certain guy all night long, and she hadn't slept well at all...

Jiang Baobao thought this, picked up her phone to check the time, and her sleepiness grew more intense.

Forget it... I'll sleep for a little while. When I wake up, I'll go to school to pick up those three little ones; they'll definitely be very happy...

Two and a half hours later—

The villa's main gate was opened with a "bang"!

The three little ones ran in from outside, talking and laughing, making the originally quiet living room instantly lively.

"Eh? This is Mommy's shoe! Mommy is home!" Tiantian was the first to spot the high heels Jiang Baobao had left at the entrance.

Mobai and Yanbao's eyes lit up instantly.

The three little ones exchanged glances and immediately ran toward the stairs without hesitation.

"Mommy! We're home!"

Before the three little ones had even reached the stairs, their shouts had already echoed through the entire hallway.

In the room, Jiang Baobao was fast asleep, showing no signs of being woken up.

Mobai pushed open the door to Jiang Baobao's room in high spirits.

Seeing her resting, he immediately stopped abruptly, turned around quickly, held a finger to his lips, and made a "shh" gesture at Yanbao and Tiantian.

"Mommy is asleep, let's not disturb her..." Mobai lowered his voice, said this quickly, and closed the door lightly.

Tiantian and Yanbao nodded very sensibly, and the three little ones, unlike the boisterous way they had arrived, all tiptoed and walked downstairs without making a sound.

Fearing they would disturb Jiang Baobao's rest, they all chose to stay in the living room to watch TV.

Not long after, the villa's main gate opened again.

Li Beijue walked in from outside, dressed in a suit and leather shoes.

"Daddy! Mommy came home earlier than you today!" Yanbao greeted him with a smile.

"Is that so?" Li Beijue paused slightly and subconsciously glanced toward the upstairs direction.

Immediately after, he heard Mobai add: "Daddy, Mommy is sleeping upstairs. It must be because she was too tired from taking care of you last night, so she's resting at home today!"

Li Beijue raised an eyebrow, and the image of Jiang Baobao sleeping sweetly in his arms this morning suddenly surfaced in his mind; he couldn't help but let a hint of a smile flash in his eyes.

"Mm, then Daddy will go check on her." Li Beijue agreed and lifted his feet to walk up the stairs.

Upon hearing this, Mobai and Yanbao's eyes lit up. Seeing Li Beijue disappear around the corner of the stairs, they immediately jumped off the sofa, not forgetting to drag along the little girl who was watching cartoons intently.

"What are you two doing again?" Tiantian pouted in dissatisfaction, her expression looking somewhat annoyed.

Her brothers were really too much!

Why must Daddy and Mommy make up?

The little girl complained loudly in her heart helplessly, but she was still dragged up the stairs.

Upstairs—

Li Beijue stood at the door of Jiang Baobao's room.

Knowing the person inside was sleeping, he subconsciously held his breath and turned the doorknob lightly.

The door opened a tiny crack.

Li Beijue lightened his footsteps and walked in cautiously.

Just as he stood by the bed, he saw that the person sleeping soundly on the bed had kicked off the quilt at some point.

Seeing this, Li Beijue couldn't help but curl his lips. Fearing she would catch a cold, he carefully reached out his hand and pinched the corner of the quilt she had kicked off.

His movements were gentler than ever before, carefully covering Jiang Baobao's exposed arm.

Yet his gaze could not help but slowly fall upon her peaceful sleeping face.

Then it slowly moved downward, the final resting point of his gaze being those two cherry-blossom-pink lips.

Li Beijue's gaze flickered for an instant, and his eyes suddenly darkened a few shades.

Jiang Baobao also seemed to sense something, her eyelashes suddenly trembling violently!

The next second, she opened her eyes in a daze.

"Ah!"

Seeing the person before her clearly, Jiang Baobao let out an instinctive shriek and abruptly tried to sit up from the bed!

But unexpectedly, immediately following that, there was a "bang!"

Jiang Baobao's movement to rise was too sudden, and she collided solidly with Li Beijue's forehead!

"Hiss..." She gasped in pain, instinctively reaching out to cover her forehead, and with some morning grumpiness, she spoke crossly: "What are you doing in my room! Are you peeking at me sleeping!"

Li Beijue: "..."

Li Beijue remained silent, his forehead throbbing with pain, and for a moment he actually did not know how to explain.

Jiang Baobao, however, looked at the person before her as if she had seen a ferocious beast, covering her forehead with a look of wariness.

What is going on?

Li Beijue's presence in front of her these past few days has been way too high!

What on earth does he want to do!
