Chapter 355: Lollipops Cannot Be Taken Casually

Evening—

Jiang Baobao deliberately did not return too late, instead arriving back at Li Mansion before sunset.

She still remembered that today was the day for the little girl to have her wound dressing changed, and she needed to be by her side.

Jiang Baobao arrived right on time and walked into the villa, but she didn't expect to hear a burst of laughter coming from Tiantian's room before she even reached the door.

"Daddy! This one is still crooked!"

Mobai's loud laughter echoed in the hallway; he seemed to have seen something interesting and was laughing uncontrollably.

Yanbao's voice also chimed in: "Daddy, it seems... the sizes are also a bit different..."

Jiang Baobao was completely bewildered, not knowing what the two of them and Li Beijue were doing, so she hurried over.

Just as she stood at the doorway, she saw Tiantian sitting obediently in front of a small mirror, while Mobai and Yanbao were squatting on her left and right, laughing happily.

Li Beijue was holding a pink comb, frowning slightly as he looked at the two crooked, messy pigtails on Tiantian's head.

"What are you doing?"

Jiang Baobao asked with some curiosity, looking at Li Beijue's back with a puzzled expression.

As soon as she finished speaking, the man with his back to her turned around, his expression somewhat subtle.

Mobai immediately explained loudly: "Mommy! Daddy is helping Tiantian braid her hair! But Daddy is so clumsy! It doesn't look good at all!"

Jiang Baobao was stunned upon hearing this, looking at Li Beijue in surprise, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Li Beijue was braiding Tiantian's hair?

Was he... had he lost his mind?

Jiang Baobao stood dazed for a few seconds before walking in, torn between laughter and tears; looking at the two "uniquely" styled braids on the little girl's head, she couldn't help but shake her head in amusement.

"Mommy, you should do it for me! The braids Uncle tied don't look good at all!"

The little girl pouted slightly, taking the initiative to ask Jiang Baobao for help.

Jiang Baobao nodded quickly, and seeing Li Beijue step aside to give her his spot, she sat down.

Her skills were naturally much better than Li Beijue's.

After just a few moments, she had finished two perfect pigtails, and even braided two extra little cute braids on the side.

Tiantian nodded in satisfaction and praised loudly: "As expected, Mommy is the best!"

Jiang Baobao dotingly rubbed the little girl's head, then cast a casual glance at Li Beijue, whom she had been deliberately ignoring since she arrived.

It seemed... he looked a bit awkward...

She hadn't expected him to return so early today...

Just as Jiang Baobao was thinking this, the next second she suddenly heard Li Beijue speak up: "The Doctor will be at the door soon to change Tiantian's dressing; should we go to the living room downstairs, or stay in the bedroom?"

Jiang Baobao answered without thinking: "Let's just do it here."

After she finished, she realized who she had just been talking to, and her expression shifted slightly.

"Ahem..."

Jiang Baobao coughed lightly, picked up Tiantian, and placed her back onto the large bed.

The next second, a burst of footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door.

"Young Master, the Doctor has arrived."

Zheng Bo reported from outside the door.

"Mm, let him come up." Li Beijue nodded.

After saying this, he suddenly looked at Tiantian and asked in a low voice: "Are you afraid?"

Upon hearing this, Tiantian shook her head rapidly and answered loudly: "Not afraid! My wound is almost healed!"

Jiang Baobao hadn't expected Li Beijue to take the initiative to show concern, and a flash of surprise quickly crossed her eyes.

Just as she was about to speak, she heard the Doctor and Zheng Bo walking up from downstairs.

"Young Master."

The Doctor greeted Li Beijue very respectfully, then sat down by the bedside and began to carefully handle the gauze on the wound.

Tiantian's wound was healing quickly, but the stitches looked exceptionally conspicuous on her fair, tender skin, making Jiang Baobao's heart ache just from a single glance.

"Please bear with it for a moment, Little Miss, it might sting a little..."

As the Doctor spoke, he carefully held a cotton swab to disinfect the wound.

Jiang Baobao was suddenly stunned.

What did the Doctor just call Tiantian?

Little Miss?

Didn't Li Beijue forbid others from calling Tiantian that?

Jiang Baobao's gaze flickered for a moment as she quickly glanced at Li Beijue, who was sitting opposite her, but found that he acted as if he hadn't heard it, showing no reaction at all.

A thoughtful look flashed in Jiang Baobao's eyes.

Then, she suddenly felt Tiantian's little arm under her hand twitch slightly.

"What's wrong?"

Jiang Baobao immediately lowered her head in concern, seeing at a glance that the little girl was tightly pursing her lips, clearly in pain but trying her best to endure it.

"Baby, bear with it for a moment; the wound will heal faster once it's disinfected..."

Jiang Baobao whispered comfortingly, her brows locked tightly; she wished she could take the little girl's place right now.

Just as she finished speaking, her peripheral vision suddenly caught Li Beijue making a move.

He seemed to be performing magic as he suddenly pulled an orange lollipop with a bow on it from his suit pocket!

"Tiantian, take this."

Li Beijue said as he stuffed the lollipop in his hand into the little girl's hand.

"Wow! Such a beautiful lollipop!"

Tiantian's little face had been tense, but the moment she saw the lollipop, she immediately broke into a smile.

Jiang Baobao was even more surprised, wondering if she had misread the situation.

Since when was Li Beijue so good at taking care of children?

To think he would actually prepare a lollipop for Tiantian?

Even she herself didn't have one...

Jiang Baobao's gaze flickered for a moment; watching the little girl's happy expression, she suddenly felt a sharp sense of displeasure at being outdone by someone else.

With the support of the lollipop, the process of changing the dressing suddenly became much less agonizing.

The Doctor quickly finished tending to the little girl's wound and then advised, "The wound has recovered quite well. Just be careful not to engage in any strenuous activity recently. In a few more days, if there are no issues, the stitches should be ready to be removed."

"Okay, thank you."

Jiang Baobao hurriedly thanked the Doctor and personally saw them downstairs.

When she returned, she heard Tiantian asking Li Beijue in the room, "Uncle, where did you buy this lollipop? I want to ask Mommy to buy me some more..."

"You like it?" Li Beijue reached out and dotingly ruffled the little girl's hair before answering, "I bought this at the dessert shop downstairs from my company. You don't need to ask Mommy; Uncle can bring you some every day."

"Daddy! I want a lollipop too!"

Mobai immediately raised his hand to join in the clamor from the side.

Tiantian, however, did not speak; she stared at the lollipop in her hand and blinked, her little face showing some hesitation.

Mommy had said... she shouldn't take things from others so easily.

She hadn't forgiven Daddy yet!

So, it was enough to just take one of Daddy's lollipops!
