Chapter 402: Three Cute Babies Help Daddy Chase Mommy

~7 min read 1,366 words

After a long struggle, the fish was finally processed.

Jiang Baobao looked down at her half-wet clothes and the faint smell of fish on her body, her mood also complicated to the extreme.

If she had known it would be this much trouble...

She wouldn't have gone to find a live fish...

Now she was in such a sorry state!

It really was a case of hurting the enemy by a thousand while suffering eight hundred in return!

She sighed helplessly, seeing Li Beijue barely managing to cut the fish into slices crookedly according to her instructions, and continued to direct him: "Now wait until the oil temperature is about right, then put the fish slices into the pot, it's best to first..."

Before she could finish her sentence, the next second she saw Li Beijue suddenly dump all the fish slices into the pot!

"Whoosh!!!"

The undried water on the fish slices fell into the hot oil, and oil splattered everywhere in an instant!

Li Beijue felt a sudden burn on his hand, but he didn't care about himself and abruptly pulled Jiang Baobao back a step!

"Did you get burned?"

He asked with concern, his eyes filled with undisguised, sincere worry.

"Wow! Daddy and Mommy are holding hands..."

A burst of whispering came from outside the kitchen.

Jiang Baobao was stunned when she heard this, and catching a glimpse of the three little ones covering their mouths and giggling, she hurriedly shook off his hand and said unhappily on purpose: "No, can you wait until I finish speaking before you act? I was just about to say pay attention to the water in the fish slices..."

As she spoke, she suddenly glanced at the pot, realized what was happening, and hurriedly shouted: "The pot! The fish is going to stick to the pot!"

While speaking, she took the spatula directly and stirred the bottom of the pot quickly.

Sure enough, several pieces of fish had already stuck to it, turning a charred yellow color.

Jiang Baobao hurriedly turned the heat down a bit, saved most of the fish slices, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, the heat needs to be turned up little by little, and then you can pour in some cooking wine..."

"This one?"

Li Beijue picked up a bottle at random and confirmed the label on it.

He had specifically had someone deliver these this afternoon for today's "learning."

Jiang Baobao nodded, just about to instruct him on how much to add, when the next second—

"Boom!"

A huge flame actually shot up from the entire pot!

"Wow! It's on fire!"

The three little ones were all given a big fright.

Jiang Baobao's heart skipped a beat, and without a word, she quickly grabbed the lid from the side and slammed it directly onto the pot!

Li Beijue hadn't expected to cause such a big scene, and his expression turned awkward for a moment.

Jiang Baobao was exhausted and simply turned off the heat.

After waiting another few minutes, she finally lifted the lid again.

The originally snow-white fish slices inside had long since lost their original appearance and had become charred black.

Li Beijue raised an eyebrow, looking as if he had expected this.

Jiang Baobao looked at the mess in the kitchen in silence and finally decided to give up completely.

It was wrong.

It was wrong from the very beginning.

She shouldn't have agreed to teach him how to cook!

Who was this even torturing!

With nowhere to vent her frustration, Jiang Baobao simply threw the lid aside, walked out without looking back, and said quickly: "You have absolutely no talent for cooking, just give up. You clean this up yourself, I still have work to go back and handle!"

As Jiang Baobao spoke, she didn't even take the three little ones with her and headed toward the front door without looking back.

"Mommy!"

Yanbao immediately wanted to chase after her, but suddenly noticed that the back of Li Beijue's hand seemed a bit red.

"Daddy! Your hand is hurt!"

Mobai was stunned for a moment and hurriedly leaned in.

Upon hearing this, Yanbao and Tiantian also hurriedly looked at Li Beijue's hand.

Then they were all startled.

They saw that a small patch of skin on the back of his hand was much redder than the surrounding area; it must have been burned by the oil that splashed out just now.

"Daddy is fine."

Li Beijue shook his hand, and although the injured area was already burning with pain, he didn't want to make the three little ones worry.

Then they heard Mobai say loudly: "I'll go tell Mommy! Let Mommy come and apply medicine for Daddy!"

Li Beijue's heart stirred slightly, but it was only for a moment before he shook his head with a wry smile.

"Mommy is angry with Daddy, you guys go back and keep her company today, otherwise Mommy will be unhappy in a while..."

As Li Beijue spoke, he led the three little ones to the door.

But the little ones were still somewhat worried about the injury on his hand.

Mobai stood at the door thinking for two seconds, then suddenly said loudly: "I have an idea! Daddy! Don't worry! Mommy will definitely come to apply medicine for you!"

Before Li Beijue could speak, Mobai had already pulled Yanbao and Tiantian and ran all the way to the opposite side.

In the room, Jiang Baobao was also pondering what had just happened.

He was the one closest to the stove just now, and with so much oil splashing, she didn't know if he had...

Jiang Baobao looked down at her hands, as if she could still feel the touch from that moment, and the worried tone Li Beijue had used at the time.

She was inexplicably lost in thought, not noticing at all that the three little ones had been peeking from outside for quite a while.

Yanbao signaled for Mobai and Tiantian to stay quiet, and the three of them ran off cautiously, their little faces suddenly unable to hide their worry.

"Daddy just said Mommy is angry... What if Mommy isn't willing to go apply medicine for Daddy?"

Mobai had just made a "bold declaration," but now he couldn't help but feel a bit worried.

Yanbao couldn't think of a good idea for a moment and pondered in silence.

Instead, it was Tiantian, who had been staying out of the two boys' plans, who suddenly spoke up: "I have an idea..."

"Really!"

Mobai looked at Tiantian with instant excitement.

After saying that, he suddenly realized something and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Tiantian, so you're willing to join us in getting Daddy and Mommy to make up?"

The little girl blinked her eyes and gave a proud huff: "That's not it! I'm still evaluating Daddy! But... considering Daddy saved me at the amusement park, I can help you come up with an idea this one time!"

"What is the idea?"

Yanbao couldn't help but ask curiously.

A sly smile suddenly appeared on Tiantian's little face, and she crooked her finger at her two brothers, signaling them to lean in.

Ten minutes later—

Tiantian trotted all the way into Jiang Baobao's bedroom.

As soon as she entered, she said nervously: "Mommy! I don't know what the brothers are doing in the storage room; it looks like they're standing on a stool, trying to get something from the top of the cabinet!"

"What?"

Jiang Baobao was reading her notes, and upon hearing this, she stood up immediately, rushed out of the bedroom without a word, and went straight into the storage room.

Then, as soon as she entered, she indeed saw the two little ones standing on a stool, standing on their tiptoes, trying to reach for something!

"What are you two doing!"

Jiang Baobao's heart tightened instantly, and she stepped forward and lifted the two little ones down, one on each side.

Mobai and Yanbao instantly exchanged a look with Tiantian.

Then Yanbao whispered an explanation: "Mommy... Daddy's hand was scalded just now, and there's no medicine kit, so we wanted to go help him apply medicine..."
