Chapter 339: Li Beijue Curries Favor with the Little Girl

~7 min read 1,283 words

Jiang Baobao sighed helplessly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Who could have imagined that what was once just a teasing remark would actually turn into reality now?

It was rare for the two of them to be face-to-face and suddenly have nothing to say.

Suddenly, Cai Xiaotang let out a long, heavy sigh.

"Ah! I don't want to think about it anymore! I just said I'm getting married, not that I've been diagnosed with a terminal illness. Why make the atmosphere so gloomy? Anyway, that's how it is, and the wedding should be held within a week. Just remember to come and attend when the time comes. No, wait, you have to be my bridesmaid!"

As Cai Xiaotang spoke, her face finally seemed to regain a bit of color.

"Bridesmaid?" Jiang Baobao was stunned upon hearing this. For a moment, she still felt that this matter was somewhat unreal, yet she had no choice but to accept it.

She still couldn't help but ask helplessly: "Are you really not joking with me? I almost suspect that I haven't woken up yet today..."

"I'm really not. I... I didn't expect it to be this fast either..." Cai Xiaotang replied with a subtle expression.

Immediately after, she heard Jiang Baobao speak in a low voice: "But for a big family like the Li Family, are you... are you sure you'll be okay?"

"Don't worry, surely no one would dare to bully me. If someone does bully me, I'll just get a divorce!" Cai Xiaotang said unhurriedly, her tone indifferent.

Jiang Baobao was stunned again upon hearing this, and for a moment, she simply didn't know what to say.

After a long pause, she smiled helplessly, nodded, and said: "Alright, since you've truly made your decision, then I wish you happiness on this journey of marriage and that you won't be wronged."

"Don't worry!" Cai Xiaotang nodded heavily at once, finally letting out a sigh of relief.

She had finally managed to fool Baobao...

It was just that she felt a bit guilty about hiding the truth of her marriage from her...

But she had already promised Li Xiao that she wouldn't reveal that matter...

"Xiao Tang?" Jiang Baobao's voice suddenly came from beside her ear, pulling Cai Xiaotang back to her thoughts.

"Hmm?" Cai Xiaotang snapped back to reality.

Jiang Baobao then repeated what she had just said: "Where do you plan to hold your wedding? Is there anything you need my help with? Or... do you have any ideas of your own?"

"Ah... this... Li Xiao said he would handle everything, and I don't need to worry about anything. It's just a wedding, it doesn't really matter." Cai Xiaotang waved her hand dismissively.

Seeing this, a flash of confusion couldn't help but cross Jiang Baobao's eyes.

Why did she feel... that Xiao Tang didn't seem to care about her own wedding at all?

Li Mansion—

After Li Beijue got up in the morning, he learned that Jiang Baobao had already left early.

He had breakfast with the two little ones and intended to send them to school as usual.

But as he walked to the door, he suddenly thought of something and his gaze swept toward the direction of the upstairs.

Only Tiantian was at home today...

If he could spend more time with her, would that little girl's impression of him improve a bit more?

Li Beijue's thoughts stirred slightly, and he suddenly said: "Yanbao, Mobai, Daddy just thought of some important work to handle. Would it be okay if the driver uncle takes you to kindergarten today?"

"That's fine." Mobai and Yanbao nodded immediately without hesitation.

Li Beijue then sent the two of them out the door, watched them get into the car, and turned back into the villa.

The hallway was quiet, and the little girl in the room seemed to have not woken up yet.

Li Beijue had originally intended to see what the little girl was doing, but he didn't expect that just as he opened the door—

He discovered that she had just sat up from the bed, her big eyes looking toward the direction of the door.

Li Beijue's hand on the doorknob stiffened, and he immediately reacted quickly, saying in a gentle tone: "Good morning."

"Good morning, Uncle." Tiantian responded obediently.

She then asked: "Where is Mommy? Has Mommy already left?"

"Yes." Li Beijue nodded.

He then saw the little girl instantly reveal a somewhat regretful expression.

"Ah... Mommy has already left..."

The little girl muttered softly, pouting her little mouth slightly.

Seeing this, Li Beijue hurriedly asked: "Is there something you need Mommy for?"

Upon hearing this, Tiantian nodded subconsciously, but then quickly shook her head and said crisply: "It's nothing particularly important. It's just that every morning when Mommy gets up, she comes to braid my hair into very pretty little braids. But it's okay, Mommy must be very busy with work these days, which is why she forgot."

Li Beijue was stunned upon hearing this, and only then did he notice that the little girl in front of him wasn't wearing braids like she usually did, but had her hair hanging loose.

A thought suddenly popped into Li Beijue's mind.

The next second, he took the opportunity to say: "May Uncle try?"

Tiantian immediately widened her eyes as she looked at Li Beijue, her little face showing some disbelief.

Even Li Beijue himself hadn't expected that he would take the initiative to offer to braid a little girl's hair, and his expression became somewhat subtle for a moment.

"Uncle... are you really going to braid my hair for me?"

Tiantian suddenly asked in a small voice, pulling Li Beijue's attention back.

Her attitude toward Li Beijue had changed somewhat since the last apology, so she didn't feel much aversion at this moment.

Li Beijue nodded hurriedly and walked in with long strides.

The injury on Tiantian's leg was recovering well, and she was already able to get out of bed and move around a little.

Li Beijue carried her down from the bed and placed her in front of a mini vanity.

On it were many cute little hair ties for tying hair.

"Uncle, I want to use the carrot and the little rabbit ones today." Tiantian said as she picked out her two favorite hair ties from the table.

"Okay." Li Beijue took them casually and agreed in a low voice.

And then...

He began to stare blankly at the little girl in the mirror.

Braiding hair... it shouldn't be that hard, right?

He remembered that the simplest hairstyle for this little girl was tying two ponytails...

Li Beijue thought to himself while tentatively grabbing the hair on the left side of Tiantian's head with his hand.

Then, he slipped the carrot hair tie he was holding onto it and wrapped it around twice.

A simple ponytail was finished.

Li Beijue raised an eyebrow in surprise, seemingly not expecting it to be this simple, and quickly did the same to the other side.

"Alright, take a look and see how it is."

With the task complete, he looked at the little girl in front of him with satisfaction, feeling extremely pleased with his "technique" for braiding hair.

Tiantian, however, looked at herself in the mirror and gradually pouted her little mouth.

This is way too ugly!

The braids on both sides of her head aren't even the same size!

She doesn't look like a little princess at all!

And the little rabbit's face is pointing downwards!

It should be facing forward!

Daddy doesn't know how to braid hair at all!

Then why did he agree so quickly just now!
