Chapter 308: Li Beijue Likes You So Much It

Two days later.

The injury on Tiantian's leg had already stabilized, so Jiang Baobao and Li Beijue took the little girl straight home from the hospital to recuperate.

At noon, Zheng Bo, feeling heartbroken that Tiantian had encountered such an undeserved disaster for no reason, specifically ordered people to prepare a huge table of dishes, which tempted Mobai, who usually didn't have much interest in food, to keep running to the kitchen.

"Grandpa Zheng, what is in that little jar? Is it something delicious too?"

Mobai stood in front of the stove and couldn't help but reach out to curiously point at the inconspicuous little black clay jar on the stove.

Zheng Bo hurriedly said: "Young Master Mobai, this was specially made by someone at the Young Master's request; he said it is a tonic for Miss Jiang..."

As Zheng Bo spoke, he sighed with some heartache: "Miss Jiang has been watching over Tiantian at the hospital day and night, exhausting her energy and spirit; she really should be properly nourished..."

"Oh... so it's something delicious that Daddy specially had someone make for Mommy..." The little guy deliberately drew out his voice, his tone carrying a hint of a peculiar flavor.

After saying this, he immediately ran toward the upstairs direction without looking back, disappearing around the corner in a flash to tell this "intelligence" to Yanbao and Tiantian.

"Wow! Did Daddy specially have soup stewed for Mommy? Then should we tell Mommy?"

Yanbao's eyes lit up, and as he spoke, he immediately turned to run out of the room!

Mobai, however, was quick-witted and grabbed his arm, saying with great seriousness: "Of course we can't tell her! We have to give Mommy a surprise!"

"That's true too... then let's wait until we eat in a little while to say it!"

Yanbao nodded in sudden realization.

Tiantian had not spoken the whole time, but the expression on her little face was somewhat intriguing.

It seems she can add a few more points for Daddy again... his performance today is not bad either!

Lunchtime—

Mobai and Yanbao took the initiative to shoulder the task of delivering food to Tiantian upstairs.

Immediately afterward, they ran down from upstairs in a flash and sat down at the dining table quickly.

Not long after, they indeed saw Li Beijue and Jiang Baobao walking down the stairs one after the other.

Jiang Baobao glanced at the dining table, and a flash of surprise couldn't help but cross her eyes.

"Why are there so many delicious dishes today? We can't finish all of this, right?"

As she spoke, she did not sit in her usual seat, but instead sat in a spot further away.

Li Beijue's movements paused, and he glanced at Jiang Baobao's direction with some confusion.

Why is she sitting so far away?

That position is the furthest from him...

Li Beijue opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but seeing that Jiang Baobao had already sat down, he had no choice but to swallow his words back into his stomach.

Then his gaze slowly landed on the little black clay jar in the very center of the table.

The lid of the jar had already been lifted, wafting out wisps of an alluring fragrance.

The next second, Zheng Bo immediately walked up and first ladled a small bowl of soup, placing it in front of Jiang Baobao.

"Thank you." Jiang Baobao instinctively said a word of thanks.

Just as she was about to pick up her spoon to have a taste, she heard Zheng Bo say with a smile: "Miss Jiang, this is soup that the Young Master specially had someone brew for you. You must be very tired from taking care of Tiantian at the hospital these past two days. This soup has some Chinese medicine added to it, which can replenish your vitality..."

Jiang Baobao's hand, which had just been raised to the edge of the table, suddenly pulled back sharply, and a subtle look flashed across her eyes.

Soup that Li Beijue specially had someone brew for her?

Specially...

Jiang Baobao rolled these two words around on the tip of her tongue, instinctively pondering them a bit more.

Then she heard Mobai follow up by saying: "Mommy, then hurry and have a taste! The soup Daddy specially had someone cook must be very delicious!"

Jiang Baobao was stunned for a moment. Originally still somewhat hesitant, she was provoked by the little guy and immediately answered without thinking: "Sorry, I've been having some internal heat lately, I'm afraid I can't drink this kind of soup..."

As she spoke, she smiled apologetically at Li Beijue.

The dining table suddenly went quiet for an instant.

The two little guys and Zheng Bo all instinctively looked toward Li Beijue's direction.

Li Beijue's gaze flickered for an instant, then he said nonchalantly: "It's fine, then let's eat something else."

Upon hearing this, Mobai and Yanbao couldn't help but reveal somewhat regretful expressions.

Jiang Baobao, however, let out a huge sigh of relief.

Right!

That's it!

No matter what Li Beijue is actually thinking, he should... understand her meaning now, right?

Jiang Baobao thought to herself, and only then did she quickly pick up her chopsticks, intending to hurry and finish eating so she could go upstairs to keep Tiantian company.

After finishing lunch, she indeed did not stay for even a moment longer and turned to go upstairs without hesitation.

After chatting with the little girl for a while and coaxing her to sleep, Jiang Baobao returned to her own room, intending to rest a bit before heading straight to the Training Base.

But before she could even lie down, she suddenly heard her phone ring.

Jiang Baobao hurriedly took out her phone, and seeing that it was a call from Cai Xiaotang, she answered it casually.

"Hello? What are you doing?"

Cai Xiaotang's lazy tone came from the other end of the phone.

Jiang Baobao replied casually: "Not doing anything, getting ready to rest for a bit..."

"Then are you free tonight? Do you want to go out and eat together?" Cai Xiaotang casually extended an invitation.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Baobao pondered for two seconds, looked at the time, and then agreed: "I do have time, but I have to go to the Team this afternoon, so if we eat, it might be around seven o'clock..."

"No problem, it just so happens that place is a tavern and bistro, the performance hasn't started at seven yet, so it's settled, I'll go book a table."

As Cai Xiaotang spoke, she had already opened her phone and quickly clicked on the reservation interface.

The two of them spoke for a few more moments, agreed on a time, and then hung up the phone.

Cai Xiaotang happily selected a seat with the best view of the stage and left her phone number.

The next second, she felt her phone buzz!

"Damn it!"

Cai Xiaotang was given a huge fright and nearly threw her phone away.

She steadied it, only to see a name she did not want to see displayed on the phone screen.

Cai Xiaotang could not help but frown, stared at it for a few seconds, hesitated for a long while, and finally resigned herself to answering it.

"Hello... what is it again... my dear good brother..."

Cai Xiaotang asked listlessly toward Mu Liusu on the other end of the line.

"What are you doing? Do you have time tonight?"

Mu Liusu came straight to the point as soon as he spoke.

Cai Xiaotang instantly asked back with vigilance: "Why are you asking that? I already have plans tonight!"

"If it's not an important appointment, cancel it; there's a blind date tonight." Mu Liusu's tone was languid, yet brooks no argument.

Upon hearing this, Cai Xiaotang instantly bristled.

"You're making me go on a blind date again? Are you kidding me! Didn't you promise me last time that as long as I attended the banquet, I wouldn't have to go on any blind dates for a month!"
