Chapter 259: Li Beijue's Special Concern
The little girl's words instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Jiang Baobao came back to her senses, hurriedly rubbed his little head, and said with a smile, "Alright, Mommy and your brothers will cheer for you! But you must be careful, okay!"
Jiang Baobao still felt a bit worried, yet she did not want to dampen the little girl's enthusiasm for participating in the competition.
Tiantian nodded obediently at once, and upon hearing the whistle for assembly, she hurriedly took her swim ring and ran toward the starting line with a waddle.
Only then did Jiang Baobao notice that all the children participating in this competition were wearing swim rings, each one incredibly cute, and she instantly couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Following the order, the children wearing various cute swim rings jumped into the water with a splash.
If the previous competition was somewhat thrilling, then this one was so cute it made people burst into laughter.
Jiang Baobao watched her little girl swimming forward for dear life in her swim ring, and she cheered loudly just as she had before.
Unexpectedly, in the end, the little girl actually managed to win third place!
"Mommy! I won a prize too!"
As soon as Tiantian climbed out of the swimming pool, she happily shoved the cute medal into Jiang Baobao's hand.
Because all three of her little ones had placed today, Jiang Baobao was already beaming with joy, and she hurriedly said aloud, "You all performed so well today! To reward you, how about Mommy treats you to a big feast!"
"Yay! We're going to have a big feast!" the three little ones answered in unison, their faces filled with excitement.
Jiang Baobao smiled and took out her phone, just intending to pick a suitable restaurant, when she suddenly heard Li Beijue beside her say, "I have already booked a restaurant; we can go straight there in a moment."
"Wow! Daddy is so fast!" Mobai exclaimed with some surprise, and he exchanged a look with Yanbao and Tiantian without changing his expression.
Daddy's performance lately has been quite good!
Not only has his temper become better and better, but he even takes the initiative to arrange for the whole family to eat together!
Jiang Baobao was also somewhat surprised; she froze for two seconds before coming back to her senses, and she scanned Li Beijue twice with a sense of disbelief.
This guy Li Beijue... he really has changed a lot lately; it seems like he has poured his heart into the children and knows how to consider things for them...
Jiang Baobao nodded with satisfaction in her heart, and even looking at the person before her, she felt he was much more pleasing to the eye.
After the competition ended, the family of five went together to a restaurant not far from the swimming center.
Li Beijue had arranged a window seat; looking out from the window, one could see a huge artificial lake in the park behind.
The three little ones were all gathered by the window, chatting and laughing about something.
Jiang Baobao looked at the little ones dotingly, and just as she sat down in her seat, she saw a slender hand push the menu in front of her.
"Order your food," Li Beijue said indifferently.
Jiang Baobao was stunned upon hearing this, pondered for two seconds, and then raised her eyebrows nonchalantly before opening the menu.
Then, she gave it a quick scan and ordered several dishes, along with the desserts the little ones would like.
"Are those all things they like?" Li Beijue couldn't help but frown when he heard Jiang Baobao rattle off a string of dishes.
Over this period of time, he had more or less mastered what Mobai usually liked to eat, and he even remembered the preferences of that little girl Tiantian quite well.
Jiang Baobao, however, thought nothing of it; she casually closed the menu and asked unhurriedly, "Is there a problem?"
She had long been accustomed to putting the needs of the three little ones first, so naturally, she had to order what they liked.
Li Beijue's gaze flickered for an instant, and his expression suddenly became hesitant.
She could order some things she liked to eat; that way, he would also be able to know her usual preferences...
The words were on the tip of Li Beijue's tongue, but for a moment he didn't know how to express them, fearing he might startle the person before him.
Seeing him silent for a long while, Jiang Baobao assumed he wanted to order, so she hurriedly pushed the menu over.
She thought for a moment, then said, "Order whatever you want to eat; I'm not very familiar with your taste."
Li Beijue's hand, which was about to take the menu, stiffened abruptly.
She didn't know his taste?
Six years ago, wasn't she the one who knew it best...
In Li Beijue's mind, the scene of the former Jiang Baobao always liking to cook various foods and bringing them to him suddenly surfaced, and he felt a tightness in his chest, his mood becoming somewhat subtle for a moment.
In the past, he had never once tasted anything she had made with her own hands.
"Li Beijue?" Jiang Baobao's voice suddenly came from his ear, pulling Li Beijue back to his senses.
He snapped back to reality and casually placed the menu back in front of Jiang Baobao.
"You order whatever you like; there's nothing I don't eat. You can order things you like."
Li Beijue finally said these words and felt an inexplicable sense of relief.
Jiang Baobao was somewhat surprised, but thinking of his various behaviors over the past two days, she soon felt at ease.
It seems this time it was she who had judged a gentleman's belly with a petty person's heart... she had even deliberately said she didn't remember what he liked to eat just now, to avoid being misunderstood...
Jiang Baobao pursed her lips, then ordered some food according to her own preferences.
Not long after, the dishes ordered by the group were brought up.
The three little ones had just finished physical exercise and were already quite hungry, so they immediately began to enjoy the delicious food with great appetite.
Jiang Baobao, meanwhile, was habitually taking care of the three little ones' meal first; she herself had only taken a few sips of juice and hadn't even picked up her fork.
Seeing that a certain little girl had gotten sauce on the corner of her mouth, Jiang Baobao immediately took a tissue with a swift motion and wiped it for her.
The next second—
She saw a perfectly cut piece of lamb chop placed in front of her!
Li Beijue's expression looked somewhat unnatural; he set down the plate and then picked up the portion Jiang Baobao had originally not cut, placing it by his own hand!
The air suddenly went quiet...
The little hands of the three little ones holding their forks also froze in place.
Jiang Baobao was even more incredulous as she looked at the cut food in front of her, shocked and not knowing what to say.
This... even if it was for the children, wasn't Li Beijue acting a bit too much?
Had he gone to some acting class for training recently?
How could he do such a thing so naturally!
She couldn't even do it herself!
Jiang Baobao blinked, and only two thoughts remained in her mind: "pretend nothing happened and accept it" or "return this lamb chop."
Immediately after, she heard Mobai suddenly speak up loudly: "Wow! Daddy is so good to Mommy! Mommy, hurry and eat! This was cut by Daddy specifically for you!"
It would have been fine if he hadn't spoken, but the moment he did, the expression on Jiang Baobao's face became even more awkward, and her mood felt somewhat subtle.
It wasn't that she couldn't accept care from others...
If it were any of her own friends, like Ling Feng or Xiao Tang, she would have long since thanked them with a grin and started eating without standing on ceremony!
But when it came to Li Beijue, why was this matter so... bizarre?
