Chapter 389: Going to a Birthday Party Together

Late at night—

Jiang Baobao lay in bed, unable to fall asleep.

Her mind was a mess; she simply didn't know how that chaotic press conference today had ended.

The Team's official Weibo and her private Weibo had long since exploded, with onlookers just there for the drama filling the comment sections.

Opening the homepage, almost everything was discussing this matter.

【If you don't try, how would you know?】

Jiang Baobao tossed and turned in irritation, her mind filled with the tone of certainty Li Beijue had used when speaking today.

It was as if he were certain she would be pursued by him...

Where on earth did he get such confidence?

Jiang Baobao muttered to herself in her heart, then opened her phone and immediately saw the news headline in the entertainment section.

【Li Group President Li Beijue unilaterally declares pursuit of Star Team owner Lisa】

Jiang Baobao's breath hitched, and she desperately wanted to pretend she hadn't seen anything.

Just glancing at that headline made her head ache, so she simply tossed her phone to the side.

Unexpectedly, the next second, the phone suddenly rang.

Seeing Cai Xiaotang's name, Jiang Baobao hurriedly pressed the speakerphone.

"Hello? Baobao! What does that guy Li Beijue mean! He actually publicly said he wants to pursue you! Isn't this moral kidnapping? That's just too much!"

Cai Xiaotang's indignant voice echoed in the bedroom.

Jiang Baobao sighed helplessly as well: "I want to know too, why he would suddenly pull this stunt, but fortunately, I've already refused..."

"Refusing is the right thing to do! Why should you agree to him? He treated you like that back then, and now that he's suddenly repented and wants to chase you back, does he think he can just get you back? Where in the world is there such a cheap deal?"

Cai Xiaotang's tone was displeased, filled entirely with disdain for Li Beijue.

Then she suddenly worried: "But now everyone is paying attention to this, what do you plan to do?"

"What else can I do? Anyway, I've already clearly stated that I don't want to date." Jiang Baobao pursed her lips, not wanting to think about this matter anymore.

Cai Xiaotang couldn't think of any good ideas for a moment, so she could only sigh along with her.

Then, suddenly thinking of something, she hurriedly said: "By the way, the old man of the Li Family seems to be having a birthday in a few days. Li Xiao has already told me in advance that he's going back for dinner. Are you going?"

"Why would I go?" Jiang Baobao refused without thinking: "The Li Family has nothing to do with me now; just let Li Beijue take Mobai and Yanbao back then."

"Alright then, if anything fun happens, I'll tell you about it later."

Cai Xiaotang didn't insist, and the two chatted for a few more sentences before hanging up.

Just as Jiang Baobao was about to put down her phone, she saw another news item pop up on a certain website.

It was still gossip about her and Li Beijue.

"Sigh..."

Jiang Baobao sighed helplessly and simply set her phone to silent.

How did things develop into what they are today?

There must be some tangled, messy fated connection between her and Li Beijue!

A few days later—

The injury on Tiantian's leg had finally completely and thoroughly healed.

Jiang Baobao specifically set aside a day, planning to take the little girl to get her stitches removed.

But she didn't expect Mobai and Yanbao to want to come along, and they even brought along an uninvited guest when they left.

The family of five had no choice but to go to the Hospital together.

After it was over, the little girl could finally run and jump as she pleased, so she grabbed Jiang Baobao and refused to let go, wanting her to keep her company.

Jiang Baobao was naturally soft-hearted and couldn't bear to refuse, so the five of them went home together.

On the way, Mobai and Yanbao kept whispering to each other about something.

"Yanbao, what little secrets are you and Mobai whispering about again?"

Jiang Baobao had been watching the two little ones the whole way and finally couldn't help but ask.

Mobai hurriedly replied: "Mommy! We aren't plotting anything!"

Yanbao also chimed in: "Mommy, we were just discussing what to give Great-Grandpa for his birthday present."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Baobao's expression became somewhat subtle, and she subconsciously glanced at Li Beijue beside her.

Then she heard him, as expected, say quite naturally: "Grandpa's birthday, you should come along too."

"I'm not going."

Jiang Baobao refused immediately without thinking.

Immediately after, she heard Yanbao and Mobai also invite her: "Mommy, just come with us, Great-Grandpa will definitely be very happy to see you!"

Jiang Baobao still shook her head.

Just as she was about to speak, she heard Li Beijue continue: "Really not going? You can bring Tiantian with you this time, and... now the whole Li Family knows I'm pursuing you, if you don't go..."

Li Beijue deliberately drew out his voice, and seeing Jiang Baobao's expression becoming increasingly tense, he continued: "The old man will probably call you again."

Jiang Baobao's expression stiffened, and she felt overwhelmed.

Li Beijue was right!

How could she have forgotten about this!

The news of Li Beijue pursuing her was spreading like wildfire online; how could the people of the Li Family not know!

If the old man really called her personally... it would probably be truly hard to refuse...

Jiang Baobao felt somewhat helpless for a moment, but her peripheral vision suddenly caught the little girl in the back seat, who hadn't expressed an opinion the whole time, staring at her intently.

A flash of inspiration struck Jiang Baobao, and she suddenly had an idea.

"You said just now that I could bring Tiantian along; you won't change your mind, will you?"

Jiang Baobao suddenly looked at Li Beijue and asked.

"Naturally." Li Beijue nodded in agreement.

Only then did Jiang Baobao reply: "Alright, then I will prepare a congratulatory gift when the time comes."

In the blink of an eye, the day of Li Laoyezi's birthday arrived.

Jiang Baobao did not go back on her word; early in the morning, she carefully dressed up her little girl and headed out together with Li Beijue.

When they arrived at the house, they happened to run into Li Xiao and Cai Xiaotang, who had also just arrived.

Li Laoyezi was getting on in years and did not like crowds, so he did not intend to hold a grand birthday banquet like in the past; he just wanted the family to sit together and have a meal.

He had long since learned that Jiang Baobao would be coming today, and as soon as he saw the group enter the door, he immediately beamed and went up to greet them.

"Great-Grandpa! Happy birthday!"

As soon as Mobai and Yanbao saw Li Laoyezi, they immediately ran over and offered their congratulations loudly.

Li Laoyezi held one in each hand, and seeing that Jiang Baobao had also brought a gift, he immediately said with a smile: "Girl Jiang, you coming is enough, why prepare any congratulatory gift?"

"Today is your birthday, so it is only right to prepare some gifts," Jiang Baobao replied with a smile.

No sooner had she finished speaking than a sound was heard from the doorway again.

"Dad, we're back."

Li Xinghua walked in from outside with Li Beichen, accompanied by a woman dripping with jewels—his wife, Qin Wanqing.

Li Laoyezi nodded with a smile.

Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard Li Beichen ask in a sarcastic tone: "Sister-in-law is here too? It seems... you've made up with my big brother? And why did you bring an extra little girl along?"
