Chapter 356: Listen to Mommy

The little girl calculated everything clearly in her heart and did not intend to accept Li Beijue's "attentiveness."

Jiang Baobao also walked in from outside the door and said disapprovingly, "Tiantian is still changing her teeth; she can't eat too much sugar. For things like lollipops, she can't have more than three a week."

Hearing this, Li Beijue raised an eyebrow and said unhurriedly, "Then I can buy some and keep them, and distribute them to Tiantian every week according to the limit."

Jiang Baobao was stunned upon hearing this.

Tiantian also blinked her large eyes, looking at Jiang Baobao expectantly, as if asking: Mommy, can I accept Daddy's lollipops?

The atmosphere in the room was inexplicably quiet.

Jiang Baobao's gaze flickered for a moment; unable to think of any more excuses to refuse, she had no choice but to nod.

Immediately, without waiting for Li Beijue to speak, she said directly, "You take Mobai and Yanbao to play first. It's time for Tiantian to rest. I haven't spent much time with her lately, and I want to talk to her for a while."

Hearing this, Mobai and Yanbao nodded obediently at once and pulled Li Beijue up.

The three of them left together, their footsteps fading away in the hallway.

Hearing that there was no more sound in the hallway, Jiang Baobao pulled the little girl into her arms and asked in a low voice, "Tiantian, has Daddy... been coming to see you often lately?"

"Mm-hmm." The little girl nodded with a serious expression.

Then she looked toward the door and, imitating Jiang Baobao, lowered her voice and whispered, "Daddy has been coming to see me often lately, and... he's been very good to me!"

"Then how has he been good to you?" Jiang Baobao hurriedly pressed.

Tiantian blinked, thought carefully for a moment, and then replied, "Daddy... brings me snacks, helps me braid my hair, chats with me, and gave me a lollipop today..."

The little girl counted on her fingers, item by item. With every extra word she said, the expression on Jiang Baobao's face grew a fraction more solemn.

Why would Li Beijue be so good to Tiantian for no reason?

Didn't he previously forbid Tiantian from calling him Daddy, and his attitude toward her was also...

A trace of hesitation flashed in the depths of Jiang Baobao's eyes, and her mood suddenly became somewhat subtle.

She then tentatively asked, "Then what does Tiantian think of Daddy? Are you... planning to forgive him?"

The little girl was stunned at the question and did not answer immediately.

She thought for two seconds, then suddenly and cautiously took hold of Jiang Baobao's hand and said earnestly, "I listen to Mommy. If Mommy lets me forgive Daddy, then I'll forgive him. If Mommy doesn't let me, then I'll ignore Daddy!"

Jiang Baobao did not expect her to answer like this; she was momentarily caught between laughter and tears. She hurriedly rubbed the girl's little head and said dotingly, "Tiantian can do whatever she wants. Daddy, he..."

Jiang Baobao stopped halfway through her sentence, suddenly stuck, and realized something abruptly.

Could it be that Li Beijue is doing this because of her...

And that's why he suddenly wants to curry favor with Tiantian?

Jiang Baobao's gaze froze, and for a moment, she felt somewhat caught between laughter and tears.

She thought for two seconds before continuing, "Tiantian, if Daddy is good to you, you can accept it with peace of mind. Mommy won't be angry. However, you cannot let Daddy know your identity for the time being, okay?"

"Mm-hmm!" Tiantian agreed obediently at once, her little expression suddenly becoming somewhat smug as she replied, "Daddy hasn't figured it out at all! I've been calling him Uncle the whole time! Mommy can rest assured!"

Hearing this, Jiang Baobao nodded in relief. She didn't bring up the matter again, but instead picked up a storybook from the bedside and began to read a story to the little girl.

Not until she saw Tiantian fall asleep did Jiang Baobao carefully leave the bed and tiptoe out of the room, intending to return to her own room to continue watching the recording of today's training match.

But she didn't expect that as soon as she went upstairs, she would see Li Beijue standing at the door of her room.

Jiang Baobao's footsteps faltered, and she suddenly remembered the kiss from last night.

Even the corners of her lips seemed to ignite with a trace of warmth in that instant.

Jiang Baobao's gaze subconsciously fell upon Li Beijue's thin lips, which held a hint of a smile, and her breath caught sharply.

"Cough... Is something the matter?"

She stood where she was, not taking another step forward, and asked in a low voice.

Seeing this, Li Beijue couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

She... why does she look so strange?

Why is she standing there without moving?

A trace of confusion flashed in Li Beijue's eyes, and he then said, "Nothing, I just wanted to ask about the team's preparation status. Since you won't let me send food, asking a few more questions... shouldn't be too much, right?"

His tone sounded casual, as if he were truly just a qualified "investor" concerned about his investment.

Just as he finished speaking, he saw Jiang Baobao in front of him show an expression of obvious relief.

A dark light flashed in Li Beijue's eyes as he observed the person before him without changing his expression.

Jiang Baobao, however, was completely unaware and only wanted to return to her room quickly, so she replied rapidly, "Everyone is preparing very seriously. If nothing goes wrong, the first victory should be no problem. I happen to have training match videos to watch, so I won't chat with you."

As she spoke, she walked quickly to the door of her room, her expression somewhat smug.

It's perfect to use work as an excuse!

She doesn't want to stand here and chat with Li Beijue at all right now!

Jiang Baobao's little mental calculations were clicking away, and just as she was about to push the door open, the next second—

A hand suddenly blocked her path.

"Do you mind if I watch with you?"

Li Beijue's deep voice, carrying a hint of a smile, suddenly sounded in Jiang Baobao's ear.

Jiang Baobao was stunned and instantly took a big step back!

Li Beijue was startled by her sudden movement and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow as he looked at the person before him.

Jiang Baobao also realized that her reaction seemed a bit excessive; she hurriedly adjusted her emotions and asked back as if nothing had happened, "You... you want to watch the training match?"

Li Beijue nodded unhurriedly, having already quickly thought of an excuse in that very moment.

"I heard from Mobai that he wants to go to the venue to cheer for you during the competition. I thought since that's the case, I might as well take Yanbao and Tiantian along, but..."

He stopped halfway, suddenly changing his tone, and deliberately revealed a rare look of difficulty on his face before continuing in a low voice: "But I've never been exposed to games. I'm afraid I won't understand anything if I go to the venue. Besides, as the team's investor, apart from commercial operations, I should at least understand some common knowledge about games. So... if you don't mind, can I watch with you?"

Li Beijue spoke in a logical and well-founded manner.

Jiang Baobao opened her mouth, her expression blank for a moment.

The words of refusal were right on the tip of her tongue, yet no matter how she tried to say them, they seemed somewhat forced.

This... it really seemed there was no reason to refuse.

She certainly couldn't say that this video recording was a trade secret!
