Chapter 258: Daddy and Mommy Have Fallen in Love
The weekend—
Jiang Baobao grabbed her bag and headed out early in the morning.
But just as she reached the top of the stairs, she heard a patter of running footsteps coming from upstairs, and the three little ones rushed in front of her as if flying, each of them panting for breath.
"Mommy! Don't go out today! Did you forget what we agreed on?" Tiantian grabbed Jiang Baobao's hand and asked loudly.
Jiang Baobao was stunned upon hearing this, pondering for two seconds; she felt as if she had indeed promised them something, but for a moment, she couldn't recall what it was.
She had no choice but to smile bitterly and helplessly: "Mommy has been really too busy lately; what did we agree on before?"
As soon as her voice fell, she saw the three little ones all reveal expressions of helplessness.
Mobai deliberately feigned dissatisfaction and accused her: "Mommy! There is a swimming competition at kindergarten today! You even practiced with us before! And you promised to come watch us compete today!"
Jiang Baobao was stunned upon hearing this, instantly revealing an expression of sudden realization, and only then did she finally remember what she had promised the three little ones.
Right! Today is the day of the swimming competition!
She was supposed to go watch!
Jiang Baobao slapped her forehead hard, the expression on her face suddenly becoming embarrassed, and she hurriedly explained: "Sorry, sorry, it really was Mommy who forgot. How about Mommy calls Uncle Shen right now, asks him to help keep an eye on work today, and then goes to accompany you to the competition?"
"Okay!"
As soon as Jiang Baobao's voice fell, the three little ones immediately jumped up in excitement.
Following that, another set of footsteps suddenly came from the stairs.
Li Beijue also walked down, and seeing the three of them standing at the top of the stairs talking, he naturally stood to one side.
Seeing that he was not wearing a suit as he usually did, but rather a more casual outfit, a flash of surprise crossed Jiang Baobao's face.
Immediately after, she heard Yanbao suddenly say: "Daddy performed better than Mommy today! He didn't even need us to remind him, he remembered it was the day of the swimming competition!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Baobao looked at Li Beijue with even more surprise, suddenly feeling a little bit of resentment in her heart.
Hmph!
If it weren't for her being too busy with work lately, she wouldn't have forgotten such an important thing as the babies' competition!
While thinking this, Jiang Baobao hurriedly took out her phone and said loudly: "Mommy is going back to change clothes, and then we will leave immediately!"
Twenty minutes later—
The family of five sat in the car on time.
Li Beijue checked the swimming equipment the little ones had brought before starting the car.
Not long after, he parked outside a massive swimming center.
Although it was just a children's swimming competition, the school had specifically chosen the largest swimming center.
As soon as Jiang Baobao got out of the car, she couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.
"It looks quite professional... Babies, you must do your best in today's competition!"
As she spoke, she gave the three little ones a thumbs up.
Little Mobai, upon hearing this, immediately patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, Mommy! I will definitely bring back a ranking!"
As soon as his voice fell, Yanbao also followed up by saying: "I will also work hard to bring back a ranking!"
Jiang Baobao couldn't help but laugh, but then she suddenly thought of the little girl who had only just learned to swim a few days ago, and she hurriedly encouraged her: "Tiantian, be careful when you are swimming in a bit. It doesn't matter even if you don't get a ranking, okay?"
"Mm-hmm! Don't worry, Mommy!" Tiantian also imitated her two older brothers and said confidently: "I will work hard!"
"Good! Then let's go!"
Jiang Baobao was also stirred by the morale of the three little ones, and she smilingly took them by the hand and walked into the swimming center together.
Li Beijue followed quietly to the side, his eyes already filled with irrepressible smiles.
After entering and passing through a corridor, the noise in the venue gradually grew louder.
Inside, the children, already assigned by class, had mostly changed into their swimsuits and were standing in front of the pool, doing their final warm-up preparations.
Jiang Baobao and Li Beijue led the three little ones to change into their swimsuits separately, and only then did they bring them to their respective classes.
Quite a few parents with children had already gathered here, basically all of them couples.
There weren't many seats in the swimming center, so everyone consciously lined up.
Not long after, the teacher announced that the competition was about to begin.
Jiang Baobao stood to the side nervously, and just as the starting gun sounded, a group of children jumped into the water with a splash!
Mobai and Yanbao had signed up for the same event; one could see the two of them like agile little fish, instantly surging a large distance ahead of the other children!
"Go, babies!!!" Jiang Baobao shouted, cheering for the two little ones, watching as they pulled the distance between themselves and the other children further and further away.
The pool's lanes were not very long, and Jiang Baobao watched as Mobai and Yanbao rushed toward the finish line together.
The next second...
The whistle blew!
"They won! They are so amazing!"
Jiang Baobao jumped up in excitement, grabbed Li Beijue's arm, and was so happy she forgot herself.
The next second, she suddenly realized what she had done and hurriedly let go.
"Sorry... I was too excited..." Jiang Baobao said subconsciously, moving a bit toward the side to increase the distance between the two of them.
A flash of a smile couldn't help but cross Li Beijue's eyes; he suddenly felt that his mood was quite good.
She grabbed him subconsciously... could it mean that her subconscious relationship with him had improved a lot?
Perhaps after the competition is over, he should take her and the three little ones to a restaurant with an elegant atmosphere...
While thinking this, Li Beijue quietly took out his phone and sent a text message to Assistant Chen without changing his expression.
On the other side.
Jiang Baobao didn't think much of it; seeing the two little ones run back, she hurriedly squatted down and pulled both of them into her arms.
"You two are just too amazing! To think you actually took first and second place!" Jiang Baobao praised with a smile.
Yanbao's speed was slightly slower than Mobai's, so he took second place, but he wasn't discouraged in the slightest; instead, he said with a smile, "Mommy, Mobai is so fast! Although it didn't look like there was much difference between us, I used all my strength and still couldn't catch up to him!"
Yanbao looked at Mobai with an expression of admiration.
Mobai felt a bit embarrassed by what he said and hurriedly replied with rare modesty, "Not at all, it's just because you were sick a while ago and haven't fully recovered yet, which is why you were a little slower than me. Next time there's a chance, we'll race again!"
Just as the words left his mouth, they heard Tiantian, who was nearby, give a heavy cough.
"Ahem! It's almost my turn! You two better cheer for me first!"
