Chapter 322: Daddy Apologized in Person

~7 min read 1,311 words

Tiantian blinked her eyes, staring at the pudding in front of her for a few seconds, when she suddenly felt Li Beijue gently press down on her leg.

She immediately tensed her body, not wanting to experience that pain from just a moment ago again.

"Don't move around, it will be over soon..."

Li Beijue said cautiously, then lifted the gauze covering the wound with extremely light movements.

The next second, he saw Tiantian immediately reach out to cover her eyes, seemingly a bit afraid to look at her own wound.

Seeing such a cute gesture from her, the corners of Li Beijue's mouth couldn't help but curl up.

He then quickly lowered his head to check the condition of the wound, and seeing that it hadn't come undone or bled, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After covering the little girl's wound back up, he took the pudding from the side and said, unable to hide the smile in his voice: "The wound is fine, don't make such big movements next time."

Hearing this, Tiantian lowered her little hands and nodded with rare obedience.

She then saw Li Beijue bring the pudding in front of her and was momentarily surprised.

"Eat it. Mommy is busy with work right now, so I brought the snack up to you first. She should come to see you in a little while."

Seeing her expression, Li Beijue hurriedly explained.

The little girl then nodded, took the pudding, and explained earnestly: "Mommy was here just now, and she also said she would bring me a snack in a little while..."

Seeing how serious she was, Li Beijue couldn't help but smile again.

That was true; Jiang Baobao treasured her so much, how could she not come to see her first when she returned?

As Li Beijue was thinking this, he heard the little girl ask in a probing tone: "But Mommy didn't tell me what she was busy with today. Uncle, is Mommy going to be busy until very late today?"

Li Beijue answered accordingly: "Uncle doesn't know either, but Mommy went to draw lots for the competition today, and the competition should start after this..."

"Ah, so the drawing is today..." Tiantian was also very familiar with the competition process and sighed softly.

She then couldn't help but ask curiously: "Then... Uncle, do you know which Team she drew?"

"It seems to be..." Li Beijue pondered for two seconds before answering in a low voice: "It is the Shadow Team."

"It's them..." Tiantian scooped a small spoonful of pudding, put it in her mouth, and nodded thoughtfully.

Li Beijue hadn't expected that the two of them would actually start chatting like this, and he felt it was a bit novel for a moment.

Tiantian did not continue speaking, but instead scooped the pudding in her hand one small spoonful at a time, eating earnestly.

Li Beijue sat by the bed, feeling as if he shouldn't leave, yet shouldn't stay either, and his gaze toward Tiantian couldn't help but be a bit puzzled.

This little girl, isn't she usually very lively in front of others?

Why is she so quiet in front of him?

Is it because of the injury, or...

As Li Beijue was thinking this, he suddenly heard the little girl in front of him ask in a serious tone: "Uncle, can I ask you a question? But you aren't allowed to get angry..."

"You can." Li Beijue agreed almost without thinking.

Tiantian did not ask immediately.

She finished the last small piece of pudding, put the plate back on the cabinet, and only then turned her head to stare closely at Li Beijue.

She then asked: "Uncle, did you come to bring me pudding today because you want to pursue my Mommy?"

Li Beijue was stunned upon hearing this; he never expected that this was what she would ask.

Perhaps it was his hesitation that gave Tiantian the answer in her heart.

She didn't look unhappy; instead, she continued earnestly: "Uncle, I know you might not like me, but I don't care anymore. However, I also know that children shouldn't interfere in adult matters. If... if Mommy is willing to be with you, you cannot bully my Mommy anymore in the future! Otherwise, when I grow up, I won't let you off!"

Tiantian's little expression was grave, as if she were truly warning Li Beijue in all seriousness.

After spending so much time together, she had always felt a little bit of disappointment toward Li Beijue.

She could tell that the relationship between Li Beijue and Jiang Baobao had become much more harmonious.

She also hadn't forgotten how fierce Li Beijue was when he wouldn't allow her to call him Daddy.

Even if things had gotten better later, that was only because he was an adult who had to take care of her.

But a small gesture like bringing a snack today was a first.

Li Beijue sat by the bed, looking at the little girl in front of him, not knowing what to say for a moment.

He never imagined that this little girl, who had nothing on her mind every day but enjoying food, was actually the most sensitive.

She didn't even care how he treated her, as long as he didn't bully Jiang Baobao anymore...

Li Beijue suddenly felt a sense of warmth in his heart.

He even suddenly felt that it didn't matter whose daughter the little girl in front of him was.

The Li Family already had two young masters; having one more little miss who was loved by everyone wouldn't be bad.

"Uncle?"

Seeing that he didn't speak, Tiantian couldn't help but ask.

Li Beijue snapped back to reality, hurriedly nodded, and promised: "Uncle promises you. In the past, Uncle's attitude toward you was bad, and today I want to say I'm sorry."

After Li Beijue finished speaking, even he himself couldn't help but be stunned.

He had originally thought that these three words would be very difficult to say.

But he hadn't expected that once he actually said them, it wasn't as difficult as he had imagined.

Tiantian hadn't expected him to apologize to her, and she couldn't help but widen her eyes, looking incredulous.

Daddy apologized to her?

Had she heard him correctly?

Tiantian's dazed expression couldn't help but amuse Li Beijue.

He reached out to rub the little girl's head and then said in a low voice: "Sleep a little longer. When you wake up, Mommy should be done with her work."

"Okay..."

Tiantian subconsciously agreed.

Li Beijue stood up, watched her lie back down on the bed, and only then turned to leave.

A certain little girl lay on the bed, yet she had no sleepiness at all, trying hard to think about what had just happened, her little head unable to wrap itself around it for a moment.

She had clearly been very seriously telling Daddy to be a little better to Mommy!

How did Daddy suddenly apologize to her?

However... a gentle Daddy actually seems quite nice!

Should she tell Mommy about this...

On the other side, Li Beijue stood in the hallway, the heavy Shitou pressing on his heart finally falling away.

He knew better than anyone that the grievances between two adults should by no means involve the child.

That was why, after realizing his attitude had been poor, he wanted to make amends.

Today, he had stumbled upon an opportunity, offered an apology, and his mood had completely relaxed.

Li Beijue turned his head to look at the door behind him again, then, in a good mood, intended to go downstairs.

But before he could even reach the living room, he suddenly heard his mobile phone ring.

Li Beijue took out his phone casually, lowered his eyes to glance at it, and his expression suddenly tightened.
