Chapter 321: Calling Daddy to His Face Again

~7 min read 1,321 words

Jiang Baobao thought of the two little ones still watching nearby, so she only muttered a complaint to herself, but still reached out to take the flowers and held them in her arms.

Seeing this, a hint of a smile flashed in Li Beijue's eyes, and the disappointment of being rejected in the morning was immediately smoothed over quite a bit.

Mobai, however, was very concerned about the lottery results today and immediately asked impatiently, "Mommy! Which team did you draw today? Tell me quickly!"

As soon as Jiang Baobao thought of this, she couldn't help but recall the look on Shen Yi's face when he made the bet with her earlier, and she let out an annoyed huff.

Seeing that her expression was off, Yanbao hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, Mommy? Did you draw a very strong opponent? Is it very difficult?"

"It's not that." Jiang Baobao shook her head, not intending to tell the two little ones about what had just happened.

She then walked toward the car with them and said, "We drew the Shadow Team; they were Mommy's opponents in the last competition."

"Ah? How come it's them again?" Mobai was quite surprised when he heard this.

Jiang Baobao also felt helpless, so she just smiled and said resignedly, "Although we won once before, we still can't let our guard down. Brother Ke Hao and the others will probably have to train even harder recently..."

As Jiang Baobao was speaking, she walked to her car, only to realize that Li Beijue's car didn't seem to be there.

"Eh? How did you guys get here?"

Jiang Baobao asked with some confusion.

Li Beijue, who had intentionally wanted to "hitch a ride," immediately explained, "I had my driver take my car back to the villa; it just so happens it needs a cleaning."

"Alright then..." Jiang Baobao didn't think much of it and had no choice but to let Li Beijue take the two little ones into the car with her.

She didn't notice, however, that after she turned around, Mobai and Yanbao winked at Li Beijue together.

Seeing this, Li Beijue couldn't help but curl his lips slightly, suddenly feeling in an incredibly good mood.

As expected, these two little ones were clever... He had only been thinking about how to get Jiang Baobao into his car, but had completely overlooked that he could just go and hitch a ride in hers!

It seems this method can be used more often in the future...

Upon returning to the villa, Jiang Baobao did not go to prepare dinner for the three little ones as usual, but instead returned to her room immediately to hold a meeting for the members of the Team.

Li Beijue and the two little ones all tactfully did not go to disturb her, but stayed in the living room instead.

Mobai had been incredibly happy the whole way because their "plan succeeded" today. Thinking that Jiang Baobao couldn't hear him in her room, he simply asked loudly, "Daddy! Was our method with Yanbao very useful?"

"Mm, it was very useful." Hearing this, Li Beijue immediately nodded in strong agreement.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Yanbao, who was to the side, also say, "So, Daddy, if you have anything in the future, you must tell us in time! That way we can help Daddy come up with ideas!"

As Yanbao said this, he exchanged a look with Mobai, who was sitting opposite him, without changing his expression.

As long as Daddy takes the initiative to come to him and Mobai for help, they won't have to guess how far the relationship between Daddy and Mommy has progressed in the future!

It's just that Tiantian is still... toward Daddy...

Thinking of this, Yanbao couldn't help but knit his little brows, then looked toward the kitchen thoughtfully and suddenly suggested tentatively, "Daddy, do you want to go take some snacks to Tiantian?"

"Me?" Li Beijue was stunned when he heard this.

Hearing Yanbao say this, Mobai also suddenly realized something and hurriedly said, "Yes! There are still snacks in the fridge that Mommy made for Tiantian! But Mommy is busy today, so you should take them to Tiantian, Daddy! She actually likes you a lot too! And her temper is really very good! She's easy to coax as long as there's something yummy!"

Mobai wanted to repair the relationship between Tiantian and Li Beijue, so he tried hard to persuade him.

Li Beijue's gaze flickered for a moment, and his expression was slightly hesitant.

He didn't dislike that little girl.

He still remembered the inexplicable feeling of liking her and wanting to be close to her when he first met her in the restaurant.

It was only later, because of the misunderstanding with Jiang Baobao, that he had inexplicably vented his anger on the little girl.

It wasn't that he hadn't thought about compensating her, it was just... he really didn't know how to deal with a little girl of that age...

Li Beijue pondered for two seconds, but in the end, his heart stirred slightly, and he stood up from the sofa.

"Go for it, Daddy!"

Mobai and Yanbao knew he had agreed, so they immediately spoke up to cheer him on.

Li Beijue couldn't help but shake his head with a smile, then turned and went to the kitchen, took a rabbit-shaped pudding from the fridge, and walked slowly toward the upstairs.

The door to the little girl's room was not locked.

Li Beijue gave it a gentle push, and it opened halfway with ease.

The room was quiet; Tiantian seemed to be asleep.

Li Beijue stood at the doorway, hesitated for two seconds, then lightened his footsteps and tiptoed inside, catching a glimpse of the little girl hiding under the pink quilt, who was indeed sleeping soundly.

Looking at her peaceful sleeping face, a soft smile couldn't help but appear on Li Beijue's face.

Not intending to wake the little one, Li Beijue gently placed the small plate in his hand onto the cabinet by the bed.

The ceramic touched the solid wood, making a "click" sound.

The sleeping little princess seemed to be disturbed by this sound and slowly opened her eyes.

She then saw Li Beijue standing by her bed and subconsciously asked, "Daddy... why are you here?"

Hearing her call him "Daddy" again, Li Beijue couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Tiantian also reacted quickly, hurriedly sat up with a start, and quickly corrected herself, "I'm sorry, Uncle, I..."

The little girl stopped halfway through her sentence, clutching her leg with a pained expression.

Li Beijue snapped back to reality, hurriedly sat on the edge of the bed, and reached out to lift the quilt.

She had gotten up too abruptly just now and had accidentally pulled the wound on her leg.

Yet, not a single sound of pain escaped her; instead, she bit her lip tightly, her pair of watery, large eyes turning red, and tears were about to fall.

"What's wrong? Did you pull the wound?"

As Li Beijue spoke, he rubbed the little girl's head in front of him, feeling at a loss.

Tiantian nodded silently.

Li Beijue hurriedly said again, "Then take your hand away and let Uncle take a look to see if the wound has reopened, okay?"

His tone was gentle in a way he hadn't even noticed himself, as if he were afraid of scaring the little girl in front of him.

Tiantian's little body stiffened for a moment, and after a pause of a few seconds, she still slightly loosened her hand.

The tears in her big eyes ultimately did not fall; instead, she looked at Li Beijue before her with some curiosity, then looked at the pudding placed on the bedside table.

Tiantian's expression could not help but become a bit curious.

Daddy... is here specifically to bring her a snack?
