Chapter 385: Chasing the Wife to the Crematorium

"Does he look for you every day?" Jiang Baobao was somewhat surprised.

The little girl nodded quickly, then shook her head again.

"It's not exactly every day, but Daddy always picks us up from school, and after we get back, he comes to my room and says he wants to give me gifts, but I haven't accepted any! Today, I bought so many because I wanted to give toys to other children! I think... if Daddy keeps being like this in the future, I feel like... I might be able to accept it..."

Tiantian spoke after much deliberation, finally giving her answer, then, as if to show her loyalty to Jiang Baobao, she solemnly promised: "Don't worry, Mommy! Even though Daddy has become very good lately, the person I love most is still Mommy! And I will always stand on Mommy's side!"

Hearing the last sentence, Jiang Baobao couldn't help but laugh out loud.

She didn't say much more, helping the little ones tidy up the toys and taking them downstairs.

Mobai and Yanbao also finished tidying up the toys they wanted to give away and handed them to Zheng Bo.

"These are all to be given away? Tiantian and the two young masters truly have natural kind hearts..."

Hearing who these toys were for, Zheng Bo couldn't help but offer a word of praise.

The three little ones were suddenly a bit embarrassed by the compliment.

Mobai hurriedly looked at Li Beijue beside him and asked: "Daddy, tomorrow is the weekend! Do you have time to take us out to play? We want to go out; Tiantian's injury is much better now, and we've been cooped up at home for so long, it's so boring!"

Just as his voice fell, Yanbao also said: "Daddy, let's go out and play together!"

Jiang Baobao, listening from the side, felt an ominous premonition rise in her heart.

Immediately after, she heard Li Beijue agree: "Alright."

As soon as his words fell, the three little ones' gazes immediately turned toward her in unison!

Tiantian had also been wanting to go out for a long time, so she tentatively asked: "Mommy, do you want to come with us?"

"I..."

Jiang Baobao opened her mouth, noticing the undisguised, burning gaze of a certain someone looking over.

She immediately refused: "Mommy is afraid she doesn't have time. You all know Mommy has been busy with the competition lately, so..."

"But this time, didn't you draw an opponent that isn't very strong?"

Mobai understood the situation with the Team perfectly well, and without waiting for Jiang Baobao to speak, he continued: "Besides, I was just chatting with Brother Ke Hao in the car, and he said Mommy already gave them the training plan today. Tomorrow is a full day of practice matches, so Mommy can just watch the match videos after it's over!"

Hearing him speak so logically, Jiang Baobao was suddenly speechless, unable to say a single word.

That brat Ke Hao!

I must forbid him from telling Mobai about the Team's training plans in the future!

"Ahem..."

Seeing her look of frustration, Li Beijue couldn't help but laugh and give a light cough.

Jiang Baobao snapped back to reality, hurriedly thinking of other excuses to refuse.

Then she saw Yanbao reach out and tug at the corner of her clothes, saying with a hint of grievance: "Does Mommy... think we are too playful, so you don't want to go with us... We will be good and listen, Mommy..."

Hearing this, Jiang Baobao felt her heart melt, and a sudden sense of guilt welled up inside her.

Of the things between her and Li Beijue, these three little ones were the most innocent.

Even if she hid, how long could she hide? She couldn't let the children be unhappy because of this, could she?

Knowing she couldn't escape, Jiang Baobao helplessly agreed: "Alright then, but Mommy has very important work the day after tomorrow, so we can only go out for one day tomorrow. Is that okay?"

"Okay!"

Mobai and Yanbao answered in unison.

Tiantian, however, couldn't help but glance at Li Beijue, noticing he was curling his lips while looking at Jiang Baobao.

The little girl blinked and couldn't help but steal a smile.

Daddy has become so fond of smiling lately!

He's not at all like he was before, being so fierce!

In that case... it wouldn't be impossible for her to help a little bit to get him and Mommy together...

The matter was settled just like that.

Jiang Baobao took care of the three little ones before returning to her own room.

Even though she hadn't been busy with anything, she felt mentally exhausted.

Lying on the bed, she couldn't help but recall today's events.

Whether it was that piece of cake or his attitude toward Tiantian, Li Beijue left one... unable to find any fault.

Jiang Baobao didn't want to admit this thought, but she had to.

She turned over in frustration and saw a plush toy Tiantian had specifically placed in her room, and suddenly thinking of something, she hurriedly grabbed her phone.

On the other side—

Li Beijue had just finished showering and was browsing work emails on his phone.

The next second—

He suddenly saw a message notification pop up at the top of the screen.

The contact name was noted as "Baobao".

Li Beijue hurriedly closed his email and quickly opened the app.

He only noticed the name and didn't see the message behind it at all, feeling a sense of joy in his heart.

She actually initiated contact?

I wonder what the content is...

Li Beijue quickly tapped open the chat box, and the next second, the smile on his face stiffened for an instant.

He saw that there wasn't a single word in the chat box, only an orange transfer notification for the amount of six thousand yuan.

What does this mean?

A rare look of confusion appeared on Li Beijue's face.

Then he saw another message suddenly pop up below.

"The toys Tiantian bought today were a bit expensive. By rights, I should be the one to pay. I've made a rough estimate, and it should be this much."

She spoke with such rigid formality, pushing the word "politeness" to its absolute limit.

Li Beijue:...

It was the first time in his life that he had given someone a gift, only to receive a bank transfer in return...

Li Beijue was just pondering how to refuse when he saw Jiang Baobao send another message.

"If you don't accept it, I will tell Tiantian not to take any more of your gifts."

Li Beijue's brow twitched violently, and he immediately clicked to accept the payment.

Things went quiet on Jiang Baobao's end, and she didn't send any more messages.

Li Beijue, however, did not want to miss this rare opportunity to chat.

He pondered for a moment before composing a message and sending it over.

"Going out tomorrow, is there anything you need me to help you prepare?"

He took a deep breath, not knowing if Jiang Baobao would reply.

Not long after, he felt his phone vibrate.

"No need. I will prepare my own things; you just need to prepare for the three of them."

Li Beijue hurriedly replied: "Okay."

He wanted to say something more right after, but he had run out of topics.

Just as he was thinking about what else to say, he saw his phone light up again.

Li Beijue hurriedly looked down, but the message wasn't from Jiang Baobao, who was only a wall away.

Gu Ruohan: "How have things been lately? Has your plan to pursue her made any progress?"

Li Beijue raised an eyebrow and typed with lightning speed: "Are you very free?"

The short three-word reply exposed his current displeasure.

Gu Ruohan's reply came back just as quickly: "Brother, I've probably guessed the outcome, but... don't be discouraged. Given everything that happened between you two before, it's normal that you're now going through a 'chasing-the-wife-crematorium' phase. Do you need your buddy to give you some more advice?"

Li Beijue couldn't be bothered to deal with him; staring at the five words "chasing-the-wife-crematorium," his forehead throbbed with pain.

Although he really didn't want to admit it, these words were indeed very fitting...
