Chapter 384: Spoiling One's Own Daughter

Until dinner ended, Jiang Baobao used "dieting" as an excuse and didn't touch that piece of cake once, making her refusal as clear as it could possibly be.

Tiantian then took the initiative to "help," tucking that piece of cake into her little belly.

Li Beijue had no objections to this and could only sigh silently in his heart.

Leaving the restaurant, the group went to a nearby large shopping mall.

As soon as Mobai and Yanbao entered the door, they were the first to dive into the Lego store.

The two of them picked out several sets of building blocks they were interested in, and the group turned and entered the plush toy shop opposite.

"Wow, this little seal is so cute!"

As soon as Tiantian entered, she picked up a snow-white seal.

Jiang Baobao was suddenly caught between laughter and tears and said, "Baby, no matter how many plush toys you have, there won't be any room left in your room, so you can only buy two things today. And if you buy this pure white one, you must cherish it well when you get back; you can't get it dirty, understand?"

Just as Jiang Baobao finished speaking, she heard Li Beijue speak up from the side: "It doesn't matter. Tiantian can buy whatever she likes. I can have Zheng Bo specifically clear out a room to store the toys; she only needs to keep the ones she likes in her bedroom."

His tone was doting, as if he couldn't wait to spoil the little girl before him to the heavens.

"Really?"

Upon hearing this, the little girl's eyes instantly lit up.

"Of course it's true. When has Uncle ever lied to you?" Li Beijue bent down and rubbed her little head, his tone gentler than ever before.

Mobai immediately pretended to be jealous on the side: "Daddy is biased! Yanbao and I don't have a room specifically for toys!"

Li Beijue immediately replied with amusement: "Are your Legos so numerous that you can't fit them anymore? Are there still many piled together that haven't been finished yet?"

Mobai and Yanbao looked at each other, then looked at the Legos they had just bought in their hands, and were suddenly speechless.

Jiang Baobao, however, frowned in disapproval: "Li Beijue, Tiantian is still young; it's best not to let her develop such extravagant and wasteful habits..."

"It doesn't count as waste."

Li Beijue interrupted Jiang Baobao, suddenly squatted down, and discussed with the little girl: "Tiantian, when we go back tonight, you can pick out the toys you don't like. We'll organize them and then give them for free to children who live in the mountains and don't have toys, okay?"

"Do children living in the mountains not have toys?"

Hearing this, the little girl blinked her eyes curiously.

Listening to her innocent question, Li Beijue couldn't help but laugh.

"Not every child has their own toys. Tiantian can give all her extra toys to them, but you have to promise Uncle that you will keep every toy well and not break them. After all, it's not polite to give broken toys to other children, right?"

"Mm-hmm!" The little girl agreed quickly, thought for a moment, and then said: "Besides my old toys, can I buy some new toys to give to them? Children without toys must be very bored every day!"

Mobai and Yanbao also chimed in: "Daddy! We want to give toys too!"

"Of course you can, go choose." Li Beijue agreed, watching the three little ones run toward the shelves together in an instant.

Jiang Baobao watched the whole process from the side, her mood feeling somewhat complicated for a moment.

She never dreamed that Li Beijue would actually be... quite good at educating children.

This little girl Tiantian... why does it feel like she's about to be bought over?

Watching Tiantian holding a doll in each hand, Li Beijue only felt a softness in his heart he had never experienced before.

Because Yanbao is a boy, although he wouldn't hit or scold him, his education had been relatively strict since he was small.

But he didn't know when it started; whenever he faced this little girl, his tone would soften unconsciously.

Perhaps it was when he discovered that even when she was hurt, she would endure it in front of him without a sound...

Thinking of his initial attitude toward Tiantian, a trace of regret welled up in Li Beijue's heart.

His daughter—he would definitely spoil her into the happiest little princess in the world!

Half an hour later—

The toys carefully selected by the three little ones almost filled the entire counter.

However, most of them were picked by Tiantian.

"This is too much... Baby, are you sure you want to buy all of these?"

Jiang Baobao looked at the pile of plush toys that had formed a small mountain and felt a headache coming on.

How is this showing love?

It's practically like she wants to empty out the shop!

"Is it a lot?" Tiantian looked at the toys she had chosen, conflicted: "But these are all so cute..."

Jiang Baobao was just about to tell her to take fewer, but out of the corner of her eye, she saw Li Beijue had already walked over with his black card.

"It's not much, let's check out."

He handed the card to the cashier.

Tiantian immediately said thank you loudly: "Thank you, Uncle! I will take good care of these toys!"

The little girl didn't think too much and frankly accepted Li Beijue's kindness.

The resentment toward him in her heart had already unknowingly decreased by a lot.

Jiang Baobao was stunned again, feeling somewhat helpless in her heart.

The toys here were truly not cheap; basically, each one was at least in the triple digits.

She had originally wanted to pay for it herself, but she had been beaten to it again...

No!

Li Beijue still doesn't know Tiantian's identity!

This is too inappropriate!

After all, the two of them are currently...

So it's better to draw a clear line!

The few of them left the shopping mall and went straight home.

The little girl had only just entered the door when she immediately returned to her room to start organizing the toys she intended to give away.

Jiang Baobao followed behind her and entered the room together.

She closed the door behind her and sat down to one side.

Watching the little girl bustling about, she couldn't help but think of Li Beijue's words from this evening again.

She had once stated categorically that he was simply not fit to raise children...

She hadn't expected that he would actually change.

This kind of change... was it because of her?

Jiang Baobao's gaze flickered for a moment, and a tiny ripple suddenly stirred in the depths of her heart, only to vanish again just as quickly.

Why think so much?

Since when had she become so narcissistic?

Jiang Baobao shook her head gently, pondered for two seconds, and still couldn't help but ask, "Tiantian, are you happy after buying so many toys today?"

"Of course I'm happy!"

The little girl answered without hesitation; her wounds had almost completely healed, and as she spoke, she moved quickly to take the toys down from the bed.

Jiang Baobao paused slightly, then continued to ask, "Then... what do you think of Daddy?"

The little girl stopped what she was doing and looked at Jiang Baobao earnestly, as if she wanted to say something but was somewhat hesitant.

Jiang Baobao saw what she was thinking at a glance and hurriedly said, "It's okay, Tiantian can say whatever she wants, Mommy won't be angry."

Upon hearing this, Tiantian blinked, walked over to Jiang Baobao, gently took her hand, and answered slowly.

"I think... Daddy has become so good lately... Mommy has been very busy recently and comes home very late, but Daddy brings me snacks every day, chats with me, and even learns to braid my hair; he braids it much better than the first time!"
