Chapter 268: We Have No Choice But to Sleep Together

Yanbao's tone was extremely sincere, as if the two little ones were truly giving up the chance to go out to play for the sake of their studies.

Jiang Baobao was indeed taken aback upon hearing this; listening to Yanbao's apologetic tone, her heart melted, and the tiny bit of dissatisfaction in her heart instantly vanished into thin air.

Immediately, before she could even speak, she heard Mobai ask in surprise: "Mommy, where are you staying today? Why is the room so pretty?"

The hand Jiang Baobao was using to hold her phone stiffened abruptly, her gaze subconsciously sweeping over the surrounding environment, and for a moment, she didn't know how to explain it.

Then, the voice of a certain little girl also rang out: "Mommy, can you let us take a look at your room? It seems like it's really pretty!"

"Uh..." Jiang Baobao's expression was somewhat subtle, subconsciously thinking about how she should refuse these little ones.

Following that, she saw a large hand suddenly appear in front of her and snatch her phone away!

"Of course you can." Li Beijue's tone carried a hint of suppressed laughter as he quickly flipped the camera, letting the three little ones see the room's decor clearly.

"Wow... what a red room..." Mobai and Yanbao both opened their little mouths in surprise.

Tiantian, however, furrowed her little brows, seemingly thinking about something; after a long pause, she suddenly realized: "I've seen this kind of room on the internet... doesn't this seem like something only a bride would live in?"

Tiantian's words made Jiang Baobao's expression even more awkward; she opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

Then, she heard Yanbao ask: "Are Daddy and Mommy sleeping together tonight?"

"Yes."

"No!"

Jiang Baobao and Li Beijue spoke at the same time, but they gave opposite answers.

The air suddenly went quiet for a moment.

Jiang Baobao stared at Li Beijue with wide eyes, a faint spark of anger in the depths of her gaze.

Was this guy crazy!

Why let those three little ones know that the two of them were going to sleep together tonight!

Just as Jiang Baobao was thinking this, in the next second, she heard a teasing "Oh~~~" sound suddenly come from the phone.

Immediately after, Mobai's crisp little voice said: "Then Daddy and Mommy, hurry up and rest! We won't disturb you anymore!"

After he finished speaking, a "beep—" sound came from Jiang Baobao's phone.

Jiang Baobao was dumbfounded, the expression on her face a mix of laughter and tears.

Those three little ones hung up the phone way too fast!

Her mind was in a mess; looking at the festive big bed in front of her, she sighed helplessly in her heart.

"Now... shall we rest?"

Li Beijue suddenly asked in a low voice; seeing her helpless look, a hint of a smile couldn't help but flash in his eyes.

Only then did Jiang Baobao manage to pull herself together; she nodded casually and said listlessly: "That's all we can do now. You pick: the bed or the floor."

"Hmm?" Li Beijue was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, seemingly not having reacted yet.

Jiang Baobao immediately rolled her eyes at him: "What 'hmm'? Don't tell me you actually want to sleep in the same bed as me? Don't you think I'm throwing myself at you now?"

She asked sharply, and Li Beijue's gaze flickered for a moment as he was successfully choked up.

Then, she saw Jiang Baobao wave her hand indifferently and stride toward the wardrobe.

"Forget it, I won't argue with you. I'll sleep on the floor, you can have the bed."

As Jiang Baobao spoke, she pulled open the wardrobe with a swish!

Then, she froze in place.

The wardrobe was completely empty; there was nothing inside at all!

"This..."

Jiang Baobao never expected this situation, and a sense of powerlessness suddenly surged through her again.

She slammed the wardrobe door shut, strode back to the bedside, and pulled back the quilt.

She then discovered that apart from a thick mattress, there was only a thin sheet on the bed.

The rest consisted of two pillows and one quilt; there was nothing else, so making a floor bed was simply impossible.

"It looks like we'll just have to squeeze in tonight."

Li Beijue looked at the bed in front of him and gave his conclusion in a low voice, trying his best to keep a straight face, though in his heart, he couldn't help but give Wilson a thumbs up.

For the sake of this bed, he wouldn't hold it against him for decorating the room in this ghostly fashion!

Jiang Baobao stared at the bedding for a long while before finally giving in helplessly.

"Then... let's just sleep together. The quilt is big enough anyway; we'll each take one side."

She dropped the sentence quickly and turned to head into the bathroom.

Outside the door, Li Beijue sat on the edge of the bed, satisfied, and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

A bridal chamber...

Back when they got married, he had been dead drunk, slept through his wedding night just like that, and never looked at the person beside him properly afterward...

If the two of them were to get married again, he wondered what kind of wedding she would want?

Li Beijue's thoughts drifted further and further away, and a touch of self-mockery couldn't help but flash in his eyes.

He hadn't even won her back yet, and here he was, thinking about all sorts of things...

He should just focus on working hard to win her back first!

Late at night—

Jiang Baobao lay on the bed, silently counting sheep in her heart, not daring to move a muscle.

Was she suffering from insomnia today?

Why couldn't she fall asleep at all...

As she thought this, she subconsciously tilted her head to listen for any movement from Li Beijue beside her.

After a long while, she finally heard a trace of steady and calm breathing.

Had Li Beijue fallen asleep?

Or was he... just like her, completely unable to sleep?

Jiang Baobao blinked her eyes and moved slightly to loosen her shoulders, which had grown stiff from not moving for a long time.

Immediately after, she heard—

"Can't sleep?"

Li Beijue's deep voice rang out in the darkness, carrying a hint of extra magnetism.

Jiang Baobao was stunned for a moment; she subconsciously wrapped the quilt tighter around herself and answered without thinking, "No, I'm falling asleep right away."

Her voice carried a trace of nervousness that even she hadn't noticed, and as she spoke, she shifted a little further toward the edge of the bed.

Yet she suddenly heard the person beside her seemingly let out a soft chuckle.

Jiang Baobao's hand, which was gripping the quilt, suddenly tightened.

Had Li Beijue just... laughed?

She must have misheard...

A flash of hesitation crossed Jiang Baobao's eyes, and she did not speak again, tightly closing her eyes.

It was just sleeping in the same bed!

It was no big deal!

Anyway, Li Beijue had no interest in her, and she felt the same about him!

Jiang Baobao kept reminding herself in her mind, and after an unknown amount of time, she finally slowly drifted off to sleep.

In the darkness, Li Beijue, who had been quietly resting, suddenly opened his eyes.

Listening to Jiang Baobao's breathing having become steady, a hint of a smile flashed in his eyes, and he slightly straightened his body to sit up.

Immediately, he saw the gap between the two of them, which was wide enough to fit three more little ones.

Guarding against him this much?

Li Beijue raised an eyebrow and carefully moved a little closer in Jiang Baobao's direction.

Until their body temperatures overlapped.
