Chapter 262: To Win Back the Wife, One Must Rely on the Son

Upstairs—

Jiang Baobao was in Mobai's room, chatting with the three little ones, when she suddenly heard a knock on the door.

"Come in!" Mobai called out toward the door in high spirits. No sooner had the words left his lips than he saw Li Beijue push the door open and walk in.

"Daddy! Are you here to tell us a story?" Mobai asked loudly on purpose, making both Yanbao and Tiantian laugh.

Li Beijue shook his head with a smile, walked in unhurriedly, sat down by the bed, and smilingly refused: "Daddy doesn't know how to tell stories; I can only read financial magazines to you."

"Ah... that's too boring! We won't listen to that!"

Mobai deliberately pouted, looking at Li Beijue with an expression of "disdain."

Jiang Baobao couldn't help but laugh as well, and for once, she was in the mood to tease: "Telling stories is something that should be left to Mommy..."

No sooner had she finished speaking than she felt two gazes land upon her.

Jiang Baobao looked up subconsciously, her eyes instantly colliding with a pair of bottomless black pupils.

Only, that gaze wasn't as cold as usual; instead, it carried a hint of an inscrutable flavor and deep meaning, making Jiang Baobao's heart tremble inexplicably.

Immediately after, she heard Li Beijue suddenly ask: "I am going abroad on a business trip tomorrow to a private island. Would you like to go together?"

"Huh?" Jiang Baobao was a bit dazed for a moment, looking at Li Beijue in confusion.

Did she hear that right?

He was going on a business trip and actually invited her to go along?

Jiang Baobao blinked, subconsciously about to open her mouth to refuse.

But before she could speak, she heard Li Beijue explain: "The other party is a foreign couple. Doesn't your Team need investment recently? I heard they are also very interested in esports investments lately. You can seize this opportunity to have a good chat with them."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Baobao finally revealed a look of sudden realization.

So he was helping her secure sponsorship...

It seemed Li Beijue really had a change of heart!

However... she didn't seem to really need foreign sponsorship at the moment...

Jiang Baobao thought for a moment, shook her head, and refused: "I don't need foreign investment. My Team just returned from abroad, and the original investors were all foreign companies. Now that we are back in the country, it is naturally better to look for domestic investors. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will invite gossip and cause unnecessary trouble."

Her refusal was reasonable and well-founded, leaving Li Beijue with no choice but to nod in agreement, not knowing what else to say.

Mobai and Yanbao heard the conversation between the two and couldn't help but feel a bit anxious inside.

Daddy is too stupid!

If he wants to ask Mommy to go on a business trip, he shouldn't use this kind of excuse!

Mobai quietly reached out toward Yanbao and pinched his little paw without changing his expression.

Yanbao understood immediately and hurriedly said: "Daddy! Is the island fun? Mobai, Tiantian, and I want to go too! We haven't been on vacation yet this year!"

Li Beijue was stunned upon hearing this. After coming to his senses, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

He had just been thinking that he wouldn't need these two little ones to help, but he didn't expect that now...

A look of amusement flashed across Li Beijue's eyes, and he hurriedly followed their lead and agreed: "Of course you can. I hear the scenery there is quite nice. If you want to go, Daddy can take you all with me."

"But don't they still have to go to kindergarten?"

Jiang Baobao didn't expect things to develop in this direction and asked subconsciously.

Immediately, she saw Li Beijue curl his lips in a non-committal way.

"With Mobai and Yanbao's IQ, do you think the kindergarten teachers can teach them much? I let them go to kindergarten only because I don't want them to feel stifled at home and want them to experience the growth process of normal children. So, if there is an opportunity, it's better to take them to see the outside world. We just need to ask for a few days off from kindergarten."

Li Beijue spoke lightly, but a look of confidence couldn't help but flash across his eyes.

Jiang Baobao was dumbfounded and left speechless by his words, unable to think of anything to refute him for a moment.

That was true; Mobai and Yanbao were indeed very smart and possessed extremely high talent in the fields of painting and hacking, respectively.

Even Tiantian, that little glutton, was always at the top of her class during exams...

Jiang Baobao thought to herself, not knowing whether to be worried or happy. Just as she was thinking, she heard Mobai say: "Mommy! Let's go out and play together! Come with us, okay? We haven't been out together before!"

Jiang Baobao snapped back to reality and replied helplessly: "But Mommy has work to do. And who said we haven't been out together? Didn't Mommy always take you and Tiantian out to play before? Have you forgotten everything?"

As Jiang Baobao spoke, she deliberately pretended to be angry and pouted.

Immediately after, she heard Tiantian chime in: "But we haven't taken Yanbao out with us before!"

The little girl had no idea that she had already silently sided with her two brothers, and she couldn't help but yearn to go play by the sea.

Jiang Baobao was stunned upon hearing this, and a wave of guilt uncontrollably welled up in her heart.

It was true... she had only taken Mobai and Tiantian on trips before, and Yanbao...

Just as Jiang Baobao was thinking, she suddenly felt her wrist being held by a small hand.

"Mommy, it's okay. If you're busy with work, then next time... We will have plenty of opportunities to travel in the future..."

As Yanbao spoke, he blinked his large eyes at Jiang Baobao, looking as if he really wanted to go play but was being sensible and didn't want to delay Jiang Baobao's work.

Jiang Baobao was startled upon hearing this, and her heart was instantly struck by this "retreat to advance" tactic. She suddenly regretted her refusal from just a moment ago.

It was just going on a trip...

They were still young now. If they grew up more and their studies became heavier, there would be even less time to go out and play...

Besides, the Team's competition hadn't started yet. Although she was busy, she could surely squeeze out a few days. Once the competition period began, she wouldn't have any time at all...

And who knew what she and Li Beijue would be like in a few years?

What if he was already married by then, and the two of them were on such bad terms that he wouldn't let her see Yanbao at all...

Jiang Baobao's train of thought drifted far away, and she suddenly felt a bit afraid of the unknown future.

"Mommy?"

Yanbao's voice suddenly rang out, pulling Jiang Baobao's thoughts back.

Jiang Baobao snapped back to reality and immediately agreed without hesitation: "Mommy has decided! Let's all go to the island for a vacation together!"

"Yay!" The three little ones cheered happily in an instant.

Mobai and Yanbao even winked triumphantly at Li Beijue.

See!

If Daddy wants to win over Mommy, it really does take the two of them to step in!
