Chapter 281: Daddy Cares About Mommy

~7 min read 1,258 words

Wilson raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

Suddenly thinking of something, he leaned toward Li Beijue and whispered, "Do you know how that sweetheart of yours... describes you behind your back?"

Li Beijue was taken aback by this and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"What did she say about me?"

He asked in a low voice, looking quite interested.

Immediately, he saw Wilson wink at him with a smug expression.

"I knew you didn't know! My little sweetheart told me this... She praised you to Anna for being a thoughtful person. If the two of you were really as incompatible as you claimed before, then I think her opinion of you has changed at least a little... Why don't you stay here a while longer? Anna and I will think of ways to help bring you two together..."

"Like that bright red room upstairs?"

Li Beijue retorted speechlessly; the mere thought of the bedroom he had stayed in for the past two days gave him a headache.

Wilson's eyes widened immediately: "Oh! Do you have some objection to that room? Anna and I spent a long time researching and decorating it!"

"No, it's very good."

Li Beijue offered a perfunctory compliment, though a hint of a smile couldn't help but flash in his eyes.

So in her heart... he was like that. He had thought she would go and complain bitterly to Anna about him...

It seems his efforts during this time had been effective?

The next day—

After a whole night of storms, the dark clouds in the sky had completely vanished into thin air.

Li Beijue's private jet landed on the castle's helipad on schedule, waiting to take the two of them away.

At the castle entrance, Anna was holding Jiang Baobao's hand, reluctant to let go.

"My dear, you must come back when you have time. I will definitely miss you."

As Anna spoke, she stuffed the gift she had prepared into Jiang Baobao's hand.

"Okay, I will definitely come back if I have the chance, and you are welcome to visit our country too!"

Jiang Baobao took it with a smile and initiated a big farewell hug with Anna.

After the group exchanged a few more words, Li Beijue and Jiang Baobao boarded the plane together.

Watching the massive castle gradually shrink into a tiny dot in her field of vision, Jiang Baobao waved at the window with some reluctance.

"If you like it here, you can bring those three little ones with you next time," Li Beijue said suddenly, seeing her reluctance.

Jiang Baobao was stunned by his words; she just smiled but didn't respond.

Next time...

Who knows when the next time will be?

Perhaps by the time there is a real chance, Li Beijue will already have someone he wants to bring here.

By then, there would be no need for her to pretend to be his wife...

Jiang Baobao raised an eyebrow indifferently and focused on the scenery outside the window.

Just like the journey there, it only took a few hours for the plane to land on the roof of the Li Corporation building.

Without hesitation, the two of them drove straight back to Li Mansion.

Today happened to be the weekend, and all three little ones were at home.

As soon as Jiang Baobao opened the door, she heard them chatting and laughing happily about something in the living room.

"What are you all chatting about? So happy?"

Jiang Baobao popped out from the doorway and asked loudly on purpose.

The living room fell silent instantly.

The three little ones turned their heads in unison to look toward the door, and then all revealed expressions of surprise.

"Mommy! You're back!"

Mobai was the first to run excitedly toward Jiang Baobao, with Yanbao and Tiantian following closely behind in high spirits.

Immediately after, they saw Li Beijue walk in through the door as well.

Mobai's large eyes darted around immediately.

Seeing that both of them were only carrying two simple bags, he asked loudly on purpose: "Mommy, didn't you and Daddy bring us any gifts back?"

As the little one spoke, he pouted his lips, deliberately pretending to be a bit unhappy.

Jiang Baobao was left between laughter and tears upon hearing this and hurriedly explained: "We originally wanted to bring you gifts; there were so many beautiful shells and conchs on the beach there, but when Daddy and Mommy went to look for them together, we accidentally ran into a little trouble..."

"What trouble? Are you and Daddy hurt?"

Yanbao asked worriedly the moment he heard they had run into trouble.

Jiang Baobao paused, sweeping a glance toward Li Beijue without changing her expression.

Better not let them know, right?

Jiang Baobao wanted to find some excuse to brush it off so the little ones wouldn't worry.

But before she could speak, she heard Li Beijue deliberately playing the victim: "Daddy and Mommy encountered a storm, and Daddy accidentally got hurt. Your gifts were left on the beach..."

"Daddy is hurt? Where are you hurt? Let me see!"

Upon hearing this, Mobai and Yanbao immediately became nervous and instantly crowded around Li Beijue.

Even the little girl couldn't help but frown as she looked at Li Beijue, appearing somewhat worried.

All three little ones instantly forgot their unhappiness about not receiving gifts.

Li Beijue took off his suit jacket, then rolled up his shirt sleeve to reveal the bandage that had already been wrapped underneath.

"It's not a big wound, just a scratch from a tree branch."

Li Beijue said, while deliberately glancing toward Jiang Baobao.

That look seemed to be saying that he had easily solved the problem of not bringing a gift.

Seeing this, Jiang Baobao couldn't help but shake her head in amusement, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curve upward.

Since when had this guy Li Beijue become so childish?

Wasn't this the kind of trick she usually used herself?

Jiang Baobao raised her eyebrows noncommittally; seeing that the little ones' attention was all on Li Beijue, she casually put down her luggage, intending to go to the kitchen to make some desserts for them.

But she suddenly heard Li Beijue behind her say, "You go upstairs and rest first; you just got back and you want to go cook?"

Jiang Baobao paused, her mood suddenly becoming somewhat subtle.

Since when did Li Beijue understand her behavioral patterns so well?

He even knew what she was going to do when she turned around?

She muttered a complaint to herself, and just as she was about to say she wasn't tired, she heard Mobai say loudly, "Daddy cares about Mommy so much, then Mommy should go back upstairs and rest! If she gets too tired, Daddy will definitely be heartbroken!"

"Ahem!"

Hearing the words "heartbroken," Jiang Baobao was almost choked by her own saliva.

Immediately after, she heard a certain little one continue to ask persistently, "Daddy, am I right? If Mommy gets too tired, won't you be heartbroken?"

Jiang Baobao rolled her eyes in her heart, speechless, and finally turned around helplessly to look at the talkative little kid.

Where does this child Mobai get so many strange questions every day?

Why did she suddenly feel that when he grows up, he will definitely be very popular with girls?

Jiang Baobao's train of thought drifted off inexplicably, but the next second, she suddenly saw Li Beijue actually looking over!

Not only that, he even nodded slightly, as if agreeing with Mobai's words!
