Chapter 260: Does Mommy Like Daddy?

Facing the expectant gazes of the two little ones, Jiang Baobao finally gave in helplessly, nodded, and whispered, "Thank you..."

Seeing this, a hint of a smile flashed in the depths of Li Beijue's eyes; not wanting to put too much pressure on the person before him, he did not say anything more.

Jiang Baobao's brain, however, could not help but feel a bit chaotic, yet for a moment, she could not make heads or tails of it.

She could only take care of the three little ones while eating the lamb chops that Li Beijue had "personally" cut for her, feeling quite subtle.

Fortunately, Li Beijue did not do anything strange afterward, which allowed Jiang Baobao to relax quite a bit.

The pleasant dinner ended, and the two of them left the restaurant together with the three little ones.

Mobai seemed to be in an extremely good mood tonight; from the moment he walked out of the restaurant, he kept humming a tune, his little eyes scanning back and forth between Li Beijue and Jiang Baobao, occasionally exchanging glances with Yanbao.

Tiantian, however, did not take this matter to heart at all; instead, as soon as she stepped outside, she noticed a huge cold drink shop directly across from the restaurant.

"Mommy! Can I have an ice cream? That shop looks so delicious!"

The little girl looked at the giant ice cream model at the shop entrance with glowing eyes and asked with a look of anticipation.

Jiang Baobao was taken aback upon hearing this, looked over subconsciously, and was suddenly caught between laughter and tears.

It was so late, and children shouldn't eat cold things, but they were so happy today...

Jiang Baobao's expression hesitated for a moment.

Just as she was struggling, she heard Mobai and Yanbao also chime in: "Mommy! We want to eat ice cream too!"

Jiang Baobao completely lost her resolve and had to smile and agree: "Alright then, I'll make an exception just for today. What flavors do you want? Mommy will go buy them for you!"

As she spoke, Jiang Baobao took out her phone, intending to search for the shop across the street and place an order while walking over.

She lowered her head to look at the screen, forgetting to pay attention to the traffic on the road; she had only taken two steps when a harsh honking sound suddenly rang in her ears!

"Beep—!"

A black car slammed on its emergency brakes, emitting a piercing sound.

The next second—

Jiang Baobao felt a sharp pain in her arm as she was yanked back onto the sidewalk!

"Do you not look at the road when you cross?" Li Beijue's anxious and stern voice rang in her ears, pulling back Jiang Baobao's consciousness, which had gone blank for a moment.

The owner of the black car also rolled down the window, looking at Jiang Baobao with a dissatisfied expression.

"I'm sorry... I... I forgot just now..."

Jiang Baobao hurriedly apologized, her face showing annoyance; she never expected that she would commit such a low-level mistake in front of the little ones.

"Be more careful in the future."

The driver of the black car said speechlessly and restarted the car.

"Mommy, are you okay? You have to look at the road when crossing! It's a good thing Daddy reacted quickly!" Mobai looked at Jiang Baobao with some heartache, still worried when thinking of the scene just now.

Hearing this, Jiang Baobao realized that her arm was still being held.

She moved slightly, broke free from Li Beijue's hand, and just as she was about to speak, she saw that he still had that serious expression, looking quite displeased.

Strange... she was almost hit by a car, why was he so nervous?

Could it be that he was worried about her?

A flash of doubt crossed Jiang Baobao's eyes, but she quickly dismissed the answer and whispered her thanks: "Thank you for just now..."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Li Beijue's expression change slightly.

He then said in a low voice: "Be more careful next time."

"Mm..." Jiang Baobao nodded hurriedly.

Immediately after, she heard Yanbao's surprised voice ring in her ears as well.

"Mommy! You seem to be hurt here!"

The little one's tone was surprised and pained, pointing at Jiang Baobao's ankle.

Jiang Baobao was stunned upon hearing this, and only then did she belatedly feel a slight stinging pain coming from her ankle.

She looked down and saw that a layer of skin had been scraped off at some point, though it wasn't a major injury.

But before she could speak, she suddenly felt a weight in her palm.

"You get in the car first; I'll go buy them the ice cream."

Li Beijue handed the car keys to Jiang Baobao, and after saying this, he lifted his feet and walked toward the ice cream shop across the road.

Jiang Baobao subconsciously turned to watch his back, a subtle feeling suddenly rising in her heart.

Li Beijue's behavior over the past few days made her suddenly feel as if they were a perfectly normal family of five...

This thought flashed through Jiang Baobao's mind, and she hurriedly shook her head.

What are you thinking about?

This guy's behavioral pattern is simply not something an ordinary person can fathom!

Thinking this, Jiang Baobao hurriedly took the three little ones into the car.

As soon as they were seated, she heard Yanbao ask: "Mommy, do you feel like Daddy has changed a lot recently?"

Jiang Baobao was stunned for a moment, then immediately nodded without hesitation and asked with a smile: "Your daddy's temper has indeed changed a lot recently; he feels a bit gentler than before. Do you like his personality like this?"

"Of course we do!" Yanbao answered quickly, and immediately followed up with a question: "Then does Mommy like Daddy like this?"

"I..." Jiang Baobao choked, suddenly not knowing what to say.

This little one's question was too tricky, wasn't it?

It wouldn't do to say she liked him, and it wouldn't do to say she didn't...

The car was quiet for a moment, and the three little ones were staring at Jiang Baobao, waiting for her answer.

Jiang Baobao sighed helplessly in her heart, and just as she didn't know how to answer, she suddenly heard the car door being pulled open from the outside.

"Your ice cream."

Li Beijue held three cones in his hand and handed them to the three little ones.

Tiantian immediately reached out her hand first and said loudly, "I want the strawberry-flavored one!"

Mobai and Yanbao also quickly chose the flavors they liked.

The three little ones immediately began to eat with great relish.

Jiang Baobao let out a long sigh of relief.

As expected, a child's attention is the easiest thing to divert...

But before she could completely relax, Mobai's voice rang out in the car again.

"Mommy! You still haven't answered our question from just now! Do you or do you not like Daddy like this?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Jiang Baobao froze completely in place.

Hearing this, Li Beijue could not help but raise an eyebrow.

What were they talking about just now?

Talking about... whether Jiang Baobao likes him?

A hint of a smile flashed in Li Beijue's eyes, and he also asked deliberately, "What are you saying about me? What's wrong with Daddy?"

"Nothing!" Jiang Baobao answered immediately, and after finishing, she added with a guilty conscience, "It's just that the children think your temper has been very good lately..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she heard Mobai continue to ask loudly, "Then does Mommy like this kind of Daddy or not!"
