Chapter 306: Li Beijue is Too Attentive

~7 min read 1,325 words

Early morning—

A cell phone vibration sound suddenly rang out in the Hospital room.

Li Beijue was sitting on the sofa resting, and almost the instant he heard the sound, he opened his eyes.

Seeing it was a call from his assistant, he stood up quickly, and without waking Jiang Baobao and the three little ones who were still sleeping, he walked out of the Hospital room without a sound.

After another few minutes, he pushed the door and came back in.

The Hospital room was still quiet.

The three little ones were lying on the bed, all sleeping soundly, and Jiang Baobao was also slumped over the side of Tiantian's bed, motionless, having slept like that all night.

Li Beijue's gaze flickered for a moment; looking at her posture and the blanket that had fallen to the floor, he couldn't help but slightly furrow his brows.

He lightened his footsteps, walked over cautiously, reached out to pick up the thin blanket from the floor, and draped it back over Jiang Baobao's shoulders.

The next second, he saw the little girl on the hospital bed had opened her eyes at some point and was staring at him without blinking.

Li Beijue paused slightly, a flash of surprise crossing his eyes. Meeting the little girl's innocent yet slightly scrutinizing gaze, he suddenly thought of the conversation he had overheard outside the Hospital room yesterday.

So this little girl is currently... assessing him?

Li Beijue paused slightly, a hint of a smile unable to be suppressed in his eyes. After helping Jiang Baobao fix her blanket, he unhurriedly withdrew his hand and met the little girl's big eyes with a calm expression.

Jiang Baobao was a light sleeper; because of Li Beijue's movement just now, she couldn't help but stir slightly, and within a few seconds, she woke up.

"Mommy..." Seeing this, Tiantian hurriedly called out to her in a low voice.

Jiang Baobao instantly came to her senses and asked with a concerned face, "Baby, why are you awake so early? How did you sleep last night? Does the injury on your leg hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt as much as yesterday..." Tiantian shook her head obediently, not wanting to make Jiang Baobao worry.

As she spoke, she saw Mobai and Yanbao, who were sleeping in the next bed, also rubbing their eyes and sitting up from the bed.

"Mommy, Tiantian, good morning..." Yanbao gave a small yawn and greeted the two of them obediently.

Jiang Baobao hadn't expected all three little ones to be up so early and was suddenly caught between laughter and tears. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly felt her shoulder being patted lightly.

"I have something to tell you." Li Beijue's voice sounded in a low whisper by her ear.

Jiang Baobao nodded and stood up.

"Mommy is going outside to buy you breakfast. Be good, and if you need anything, go find the nurse outside," Jiang Baobao instructed before leaving the Hospital room with Li Beijue.

Closing the door to the Hospital room, she reached out to rub her shoulder, unable to hide a trace of fatigue on her face.

Having slept slumped over like that all night, her body was bound to feel a bit worn out.

"Shoulder hurting?" Li Beijue asked in a low voice when he saw her constantly moving her shoulder.

"Seems like it a little..." Jiang Baobao answered casually.

No sooner had she finished speaking than she heard Li Beijue immediately say, "I know of a physiotherapy center that's quite good. If you're uncomfortable, you can go..."

"No need!" Jiang Baobao hurriedly interrupted, saying without a second thought, "I just didn't rest well last night; there's no need to go specifically to a physiotherapy center for a massage..."

As she spoke, she scanned Li Beijue with some suspicion, feeling a bit puzzled in her heart.

It really wasn't her imagination...

Li Beijue's attitude toward her recently had really gotten much better!

And it was even somewhat... attentive.

These two words suddenly popped into Jiang Baobao's mind, and she was instantly given goosebumps by her own thought.

How could Li Beijue possibly be attentive to anyone?

These two words had absolutely nothing to do with him!

They didn't fit at all!

Jiang Baobao muttered a complaint to herself in her heart and hurriedly changed the subject, asking, "You said you had something to tell me earlier; what is it?"

Li Beijue took the opportunity to answer, "It's about what happened last night. The person driving the motorcycle has woken up. He is fully responsible for last night's incident. According to him, he had been broken up with that day and had also drunk some alcohol, so he was in a bad mood and went out to go street racing."

Jiang Baobao: "..."

Jiang Baobao was almost angered into laughing.

What else could she say?

If she had to say something, it could only be that her own little girl had really bad luck, happening to run into that dessert shop at that exact time yesterday.

Jiang Baobao shook her head and sighed helplessly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Li Beijue had felt the same way when he first heard it, so he hurriedly comforted her, "Although the other party's injuries are quite severe, I will arrange for someone to follow up on this matter throughout the process. After all, he has to take full responsibility for this accident."

"Mm." Jiang Baobao nodded.

Then she hurriedly expressed her thanks, "Thank you so much for yesterday..."

"You're welcome." Li Beijue's reaction was extremely fast.

After saying that, he seemed to suddenly think of something else and hesitated, saying, "If you want to express your gratitude..."

"Hm?" Jiang Baobao was stunned upon hearing this, subconsciously staring blankly at the person in front of her, not knowing what he meant by that sentence.

Li Beijue... could he be wanting some kind of reward from her?

Jiang Baobao looked at Li Beijue with some confusion, waiting for him to continue.

But Li Beijue didn't open his mouth for a long time.

The words "join me for dinner" circled in his mouth, but he ultimately swallowed them back, feeling it wasn't quite appropriate to bring it up at this moment.

"It's nothing. I have some things to attend to at the company. As for the Hospital..."

"You don't need to trouble yourself with the Hospital; I should be the one here taking care of them anyway."

Jiang Baobao immediately took over the conversation, and the two of them walked toward the outside of the Hospital while talking.

There were quite a few exquisite breakfast shops near the Hospital; Jiang Baobao bought some things at random and then hurried back to the Hospital room.

The moment she pushed the door open, she heard the three little ones inside seemingly talking about something.

But by the time she walked in, there wasn't a sound in the Hospital room.

Jiang Baobao was somewhat puzzled as she swept a glance at the little ones who were all staring at her in unison, and she asked with confusion: "What were you all chatting about just now? Why did you stop talking the moment Mommy walked in?"

"It's nothing, we were just talking about kindergarten!" Mobai answered first, and as he spoke, he quickly jumped down from the hospital bed, deliberately changing the subject: "What delicious food did Mommy buy! It smells so good!"

Tiantian also sniffed her little nose and chimed in: "That's right! It smells so good! Mommy, did you buy steamed buns?"

Fearing that the little ones might be hungry, Jiang Baobao did not think much of it upon hearing this and hurriedly placed the breakfast she was holding onto the small table, taking the items out one by one.

However, she did not notice the three little ones exchanging a look without a sound.

Good thing Mommy didn't hear!
