Chapter 295: Isn't My Hint Obvious Enough?
"Li Beijue?"
Jiang Baobao looked at the person before her, seemingly lost in a daze for some reason, and couldn't help but reach out to wave her hand gently in front of Li Beijue's eyes.
"Hm?" Li Beijue snapped back to reality, only then putting his phone away. He gave a subtle, light cough, pondering what excuse he could use to make Jiang Baobao stay a little longer so the two of them could walk through the park and chat a bit.
Jiang Baobao, however, had no such intention. Holding the toy, she said directly, "Since we're done buying things, let's head back early. Mobai should be happy to see this."
As she spoke, Jiang Baobao turned to leave.
Just as she turned, she was bumped into by a girl carrying a large bouquet of flowers!
"Careful!" Li Beijue was quick-witted and steady, helping her stand firm, a flash of worry crossing his eyes.
The girl holding the flowers also hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, my flowers were blocking my view too much, I didn't see you just now, I'm really sorry..."
"It's okay." Jiang Baobao waved her hand, stood steady, and smiled at the girl in front of her.
She didn't notice that Li Beijue's hand was still intimately resting on her shoulder.
The girl with the flowers let her gaze drift between the two of them, and when her eyes swept over Li Beijue's face, she couldn't help but flash a look of amazement.
She then hurriedly smiled and said, "Since we bumped into each other by accident, it must be fate. Sir, would you like to buy a bouquet of flowers for your girlfriend? As an apology for just now, I can give you a discount. My flowers were just wrapped before I came out; they're very fresh!"
As the girl spoke, she extended the bouquet in her hands toward the two of them.
Jiang Baobao was stunned upon hearing this. Just as she was about to refuse, she saw Li Beijue nodding out of the corner of her eye!
"No need for a discount, I'll take all of these..."
He stopped halfway through his sentence, remembering the two massive bouquets that had given him a headache last time, and hurriedly changed his words: "Please pick out two nice ones."
"Okay!" Seeing Li Beijue speak so readily, the girl beamed and pulled the two largest and most beautiful bouquets from the bunch.
"How about this bouquet of red roses and baby's breath? These are the two bouquets I'm most satisfied with today! Wishing you both happiness!"
As the girl spoke, she stuffed the flowers into Jiang Baobao's arms, looking at the two of them with envy.
Jiang Baobao stared blankly at the flowers in her arms, unable to process what was happening for a moment.
It wasn't until she heard a "beep" sound beside her ear that she realized Li Beijue had already paid.
"Li Beijue, you..." Jiang Baobao looked at the person in front of her, puzzled, and seeing the two bouquets in her arms out of the corner of her eye, she felt a bit conflicted.
Li Beijue... what does this mean?
Why is he suddenly buying flowers for her for no reason?
Could it be that the roses sent to the house last time were also from him...
Jiang Baobao frowned, holding the fresh flowers in her arms, her arms suddenly feeling a bit stiff.
No!
It's better to just speak plainly; if she had to guess what Li Beijue was thinking, she'd probably go bald from the stress!
Jiang Baobao adjusted her mood and then asked, pretending to be nonchalant, "Why did you suddenly buy flowers?"
Li Beijue didn't expect her to ask so directly. He was stunned for a moment, a sense of helplessness rising in his heart.
A man buys roses and gives them to a woman—what else could it be for?
Is this woman Jiang Baobao really a blockhead?
Li Beijue let out a long sigh in his heart. Not wanting to scare her, he had no choice but to quickly find an excuse: "They look good in a vase."
"Oh, okay..." Jiang Baobao nodded, feeling a slow sense of relief in her heart.
As long as they weren't bought specifically for her...
Otherwise, she would really be scared to death!
Thinking this, Jiang Baobao looked down at the flowers in her hands again, then suddenly realized something and asked subconsciously, "Why is someone selling flowers here all of a sudden? Is there a holiday coming up?"
After she finished speaking, Li Beijue was also stunned, a look of confusion flashing across his face.
Valentine's Day is in the winter; selling roses now does seem a bit strange...
The two of them subconsciously looked at each other, both wearing expressions of bewilderment.
Then they heard the voice of an elderly person nearby suddenly chime in: "Oh my, the Qixi Festival Festival Festival is the day after tomorrow. You young people only know how to celebrate foreign holidays; this Qixi Festival Festival Festival is our traditional Valentine's Day..."
As the elderly person spoke, they handed a poster to Jiang Baobao: "An old street was recently renovated over there. It seems there will be a celebration on the night of the Qixi Festival Festival Festival. It should be the kind of activity you young people like. You can go take a look then."
"So that's how it is. Thank you!" Jiang Baobao snapped back to reality, hurriedly thanking the elderly person who had just spoken and taking the flyer.
She scanned it quickly and suddenly couldn't help but want to laugh.
Qixi Festival Festival...
She had never celebrated this holiday in her entire life...
Li Beijue's gaze also slowly fell onto the flyer. His eyes flickered for a moment, and he suddenly thought of something.
The night after tomorrow happens to be the weekend. If they could go out together...
Just as he was thinking this, he heard Jiang Baobao say, "Let's go back. It's not easy to have time today, so let's go back early. Don't let them wait too long."
"Mm." Li Beijue nodded, his eyes sweeping over the things in Jiang Baobao's hands, and he suddenly said, "You hold the flowers, give me the rest."
"Okay." Jiang Baobao didn't think much of it and casually stuffed the toy she was holding, along with the flyer, into Li Beijue's hands.
Li Beijue's eyes flickered for a moment, and he calmly tucked the flyer into the bag with the toy.
The two drove back to the Li Mansion together. As soon as they got out of the car, they saw the three little ones running out of the villa together.
"Mommy! Daddy!"
The three little ones quickly surrounded Jiang Baobao.
Then their eyes all fell in unison on the two bouquets she had brought down.
"Wow! It's flowers!"
Tiantian looked at the bouquets with love, wanting to reach out and take them.
Jiang Baobao hurriedly stuffed all the flowers into the little girl's arms.
Immediately after, she heard Mobai asking excitedly from the side: "Mommy! Are these flowers Daddy bought for you?"
The little devil's face showed undisguised excitement, and Yanbao was also looking at Jiang Baobao expectantly from the side, waiting for her answer.
Jiang Baobao hurriedly explained, "It is true that your daddy bought them, but he bought them to use for flower arranging, not specifically to give to anyone!"
She spoke at a very fast pace, and then, fearing the two little ones would be disappointed, she continued without waiting for them to speak, "Mobai, Daddy also bought you the toys you wanted; you can play with Yanbao!"
"Toys?" Upon hearing this, Mobai subconsciously looked in the direction of Li Beijue, a trace of confusion flashing in his eyes.
When did he ever tell Daddy he wanted toys?
