Chapter 223: Young Master Li Says, You Don't Have to Leave Anymore

The two of them stared at each other, neither speaking first.

Jiang Baobao was so startled by that moment just now that her heart was pounding, and she couldn't quite collect her thoughts for a moment.

Just as she intended to speak, she heard a rustling sound coming from the doorway.

She looked over subconsciously and saw three little heads huddled outside the door, sneaking a peek into the room through the crack in the door.

"What are you three peeking at over there?"

Jiang Baobao couldn't help but ask with a smile.

Seeing they had been discovered, the three little ones walked out from behind the door and smiled at Jiang Baobao.

Mobai asked with a look of concern: "Mommy, have you been too tired from work these past two days? Why did you fall asleep as soon as you got back today?"

Jiang Baobao did indeed feel a bit exhausted; hearing this, she nodded gently: "Mommy has been a bit tired lately, thank you for your concern, my darlings."

She reached out to rub the little heads of her children, when her peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of Li Beijue standing to the side.

It must have been these three little ones who made him come...

Otherwise, this guy definitely wouldn't be kind enough to come and see her specifically...

As Jiang Baobao thought this, she suddenly paused, remembering something else.

"Would you three go play downstairs first, okay? Mommy has two things she wants to say to Daddy; after we're done talking, I'll go down and find you, alright?"

Jiang Baobao asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Mobai and Yanbao's eyes lit up instantly.

Mommy is going to chat with Daddy!

Is it about making up?

"Okay! Then we'll go first!" The two little ones agreed quickly, and as they spoke, they grabbed one of Tiantian's little arms each without hesitation and disappeared from Jiang Baobao and Li Beijue's sight in a flash.

Li Beijue's brow furrowed slightly, seemingly puzzled as to what Jiang Baobao could suddenly have to say to him.

Listening to the three little ones walk away, Jiang Baobao withdrew her gaze and asked in a calm tone: "Li Beijue, we haven't finished discussing that previous contract. I will pay you the breach of contract penalty as soon as possible, not a single cent less, but I will absolutely not leave Mobai and Yanbao behind."

Li Beijue was stunned upon hearing this, only then remembering Jiang Baobao's previous breach of contract.

His gaze flickered for a moment, and he did not speak.

Jiang Baobao, however, felt a bit nervous.

If Li Beijue forced her to leave... what should she do?

But that day, in front of Ling Feng and the others, he had voluntarily admitted his identity as the investor...

Perhaps he had changed his mind?

Just as Jiang Baobao was hesitant and uncertain, she suddenly heard Li Beijue answer indifferently: "There is no need to pay the penalty."

"Huh? Are you serious?" Jiang Baobao was taken aback, her expression somewhat surprised.

Li Beijue's expression, however, was slightly uncomfortable.

He gave a light cough, then answered in a low voice: "Yes, I will have someone modify the clause in the contract about you going abroad. Everything can just be executed according to a normal investment contract. Mobai and Yanbao still need you very much right now, so you don't have to leave."

Li Beijue said slowly, and the heavy stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

This way... she shouldn't be leaving anytime soon.

He would also have time to slowly make up for the mistakes he had made before, little by little...

As Li Beijue thought this, he suddenly noticed that Jiang Baobao seemed to be looking at him with a dazed expression.

"What's wrong? Is there another problem?" he asked subconsciously.

Jiang Baobao hurriedly shook her head: "No, this is better for everyone."

She answered truthfully, her eyes searching as she looked at Li Beijue.

Li Beijue must have made this decision for the sake of the children...

Since he decided to continue the investment and wouldn't make any coercive demands on her... then the contract signed previously could simply be called perfect!

Jiang Baobao thought to herself, couldn't help but nod in satisfaction, and suddenly let out a sigh of relief.

The atmosphere in the room was a bit quiet; the two of them were each lost in their own thoughts, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

Perhaps because a worry had been resolved, Jiang Baobao suddenly felt that Li Beijue looked much more pleasing to the eye.

"Um... shall we go down and find the children?" Jiang Baobao fully perked up and took the initiative to ask.

"Yes." Li Beijue nodded in agreement and went downstairs with Jiang Baobao.

In the living room, the three little ones were chattering about something.

As soon as they heard footsteps on the stairs, they quickly ran over.

"Mommy! You're back so early today, let's go out and play tonight!"

Tiantian suggested loudly with eyes full of anticipation.

"Go out and play? Where do you want to go?" Jiang Baobao asked with a smile.

When she was home, she would usually chat with the three little ones after dinner or find some games to play together.

Hearing that the three little ones wanted to go out today, she immediately became interested.

Then she heard the little girl answer loudly: "Let's go swimming! The teacher said she's taking the whole class to the swimming pool next week, but I don't know how to swim yet! I have to learn it in advance!"

As Tiantian spoke, she wrinkled her little brow in distress, looking as if she were truly worried.

Jiang Baobao looked at the time and asked with some hesitation: "Are we going tonight?"

"Yes! It's not dark outside yet! We should exercise after dinner!"

The little girl answered with great seriousness.

Mobai and Yanbao also chimed in: "That's right, Mommy, let's go! Grandpa Zheng said the pool at home still needs cleaning, but there's a newly opened swimming pool nearby!"

Looking at the three little ones' expressions of wanting to go out and play, Jiang Baobao couldn't help but laugh.

It was still summer, so the sky indeed wouldn't get dark that early, just a bit dim.

Dinner time had just passed, and it was indeed a suitable time to go out for a walk, or engage in some other activities...

Jiang Baobao pondered for two seconds, then readily agreed: "Alright then, Mommy will accompany you all for a stroll. We'll play for two hours at most, then we'll come back!"

"Yay!" The three little ones immediately raised their hands and cheered, quickly running to the side to pick up their three small backpacks.

Tiantian said excitedly: "Then let's set off quickly! I've even prepared my pretty swimsuit!"

Jiang Baobao was stunned for a moment, finding herself unable to laugh or cry for a second.

But then she heard Yanbao ask Li Beijue: "Daddy, if you aren't busy today, would you like to go play with us?"

Yanbao's expression was somewhat expectant.

The little ones really wanted to go out and play today; it wasn't specifically to set up Jiang Baobao and Li Beijue.

So they weren't sure if Li Beijue would go along.

Jiang Baobao also subconsciously looked over toward Li Beijue.

Immediately after, she saw him agree without a second thought: "Alright, I'll go with you all."

"That's great!" Yanbao's large eyes curved into smiles in an instant.

Jiang Baobao smiled, not saying anything more.

Li Beijue's gaze, however, slowly landed on Jiang Baobao.

It seemed he had never seen... what she looked like in a swimsuit.
