Chapter 232: Let Go of My Woman

The car slowly pulled to a stop at the entrance of the villa.

Before it had even fully steadied, Jiang Baobao opened the car door herself and stepped out, swaying as she walked.

"Baobao!"

Fearing she might fall, Shen Lingfeng hurriedly opened his door and ran out, catching her by the arm.

The next second, a "bang" was heard!

The villa's front door was pushed open from the inside!

The figures of the three little ones darted out of the villa together and quickly gathered around Jiang Baobao.

"Mommy! What's wrong? Did you drink alcohol?" Mobai saw Jiang Baobao's flushed face, instantly furrowed his little brows, and asked sternly.

Yanbao and Tiantian also looked at her with concern, carefully taking hold of Jiang Baobao's hands.

"Mommy... isn't drunk..." Jiang Baobao answered groggily, giggling at the three little ones, looking somewhat dazed.

Seeing this, the three little ones couldn't help but freeze for a moment, helplessly exchanging a quick glance.

Mommy had drunk so much, yet she still claimed she wasn't drunk!

The next second—

"What's going on?" Li Beijue's voice also came from the doorway, carrying a hint of confusion.

Immediately, he saw Jiang Baobao standing outside the door, swaying, with a worried-looking Shen Lingfeng by her side.

A dark glint flashed abruptly in the depths of Li Beijue's eyes.

Why was that man the one to bring Jiang Baobao back?

Had they been drinking together?

Li Beijue suddenly felt an uncontrollable sourness in his heart, and a surge of irrepressible irritation churned in his chest.

Then, seeing Shen Lingfeng's hand gripping Jiang Baobao's arm, his brow twitched violently!

"Why did you drink so much?"

As Li Beijue spoke, he strode toward Jiang Baobao, took the opportunity to grab her arm, and pulled her toward himself.

"What are you doing..." Jiang Baobao frowned in dissatisfaction, but she did not resist; she merely shifted her arm uncomfortably and stood obediently in place, staring blankly at a point in the air.

Li Beijue felt a sudden sense of helplessness and heartache.

How could she have drunk so much?

She hadn't even been like this on the night of the investment banquet last time...

Just as he was thinking this, the next second he suddenly heard Jiang Baobao say dazed, "Lingfeng... thank... you... for... bringing me back..."

Li Beijue's hand, which was holding Jiang Baobao, stiffened slightly.

Even after drinking this much, she still didn't forget to thank another man?

His gaze turned abruptly cold, and finally unable to suppress the burning anger in his heart, he questioned in a deep voice: "Why did you let her drink so much? Didn't you know to stop her a little?"

Li Beijue's tone seemed cold enough to freeze the surrounding air.

Shen Lingfeng was stunned upon hearing this, a flash of confusion crossing his eyes.

Perhaps because he had been drinking, he too couldn't suppress the fire in his heart and spoke bluntly: "President Li, given the relationship you once had with Baobao, do you not know what day it is today?"

Li Beijue couldn't help but be taken aback.

Was today some special day?

His eyes were full of confusion, and just as he was pondering, he felt his sleeve being tugged gently.

"Daddy..." Mobai waved at Li Beijue, signaling him to lower his head.

Li Beijue immediately bent his waist slightly, leaning his ear closer to the little one.

Then he heard him whisper: "Today is the day my maternal grandfather and grandmother passed away; Mommy is always in a bad mood every year on this day..."

Upon hearing this, Li Beijue's eyes widened slightly, and his heart felt as if it had been lightly pricked by something tiny.

So that was why... that was why she was like this today...

Li Beijue suddenly felt a pang of heartache.

After finishing that sentence, Shen Lingfeng had also calmed down; not knowing what else to say, his expression showed a hint of chagrin.

Where had his usual composure gone?

Why was he like this tonight...

He took a deep breath and was just about to speak when his peripheral vision caught Jiang Baobao, who was beside him, swaying violently!

"Careful!" Shen Lingfeng reached out to support her instinctively, but Li Beijue beat him to it.

Li Beijue let Jiang Baobao fall into his arms almost without hesitation.

"Daddy, Mommy seems to be in a lot of pain..." Yanbao suddenly said.

Hearing this, Li Beijue instinctively looked down to check on the person in his arms.

Only then did he notice that she was keeping her eyes tightly shut, her two beautiful, slender brows furrowed tightly.

Shen Lingfeng also hurriedly said: "She really drank a lot tonight; take her back to rest first..."

"I will take her back to rest." Li Beijue replied to Shen Lingfeng's words with a blank expression, then immediately issued an order to leave: "Mr. Shen, you can go back now; I'm here."

Shen Lingfeng's hand, still suspended in mid-air, stiffened slightly, a flash of reluctance crossing his eyes, but he knew it was no longer appropriate for him to stay.

"Ugh..."

Jiang Baobao, in Li Beijue's arms, suddenly let out a soft, pained groan.

Shen Lingfeng's gaze flickered for a moment, but he finally conceded, saying helplessly: "Then I'll be going first. It's best for Baobao to drink some honey water before sleeping; it will make her feel more comfortable."

After saying this, he immediately walked toward the outside of Li Mansion without looking back.

Li Beijue listened to Shen Lingfeng's footsteps fading away, and the next second, he bent down and picked Jiang Baobao up!

"Wow!"

The three little ones widened their eyes in an instant, all of them wearing expressions of disbelief.

Li Beijue, however, remained composed, walking with long strides into the villa and heading toward the stairs.

It was just that... the person in his arms was not very well-behaved.

"You... let me go!" Jiang Baobao said, dazed and struggling with all her might to see who was holding her, while her hands and feet kept thrashing about.

Li Beijue was left between laughter and tears by her flailing, so he had no choice but to quicken his pace and carry the drunkard in his arms into the room.

He had only just placed her on the bed when his thigh was suddenly struck by a heavy blow!

"Hiss—" Li Beijue could not hold it back, instinctively sucking in a breath of cold air from the pain.

Jiang Baobao, the "culprit," was completely unaware.

She rolled rapidly across the bed, then wrapped the quilt tightly around her body, leaving only her head exposed, her eyes wide open as she stared fixedly at Li Beijue.

"You..."

Jiang Baobao spoke with some hesitation, looking at the person before her with a puzzled expression, as if she were confused or perhaps pondering something.

"What about me?" Li Beijue looked at her like this and suddenly could not help but want to laugh.

Immediately after, a series of running footsteps could be heard from the hallway; one could tell at once it was the three little ones.

"Mommy! Are you okay!"

Mobai's voice arrived before he did, and no sooner had he finished speaking than he had already run in, bringing Yanbao and Tiantian with him.

They then all froze in place, looking in shock at Jiang Baobao, who had wrapped herself into a rice dumpling on the bed, all of them feeling somewhat confused.

Why was Mommy hiding herself in the quilt?

Was she playing some kind of game with Daddy?
