Chapter 41: It Really Is a Pie Falling from the Sky

A cold sneer curled the corners of Jiang Baobao's lips.

Just as expected!

She knew this bastard wouldn't be so kind!

"What shocking conditions does President Li have this time? Why don't you say them out loud? Surely you aren't going to make me drink thirty cups of coffee again?"

Jiang Baobao's stomach had been uncomfortable for the past few days, and she felt irritated just mentioning it.

Li Beijue's gaze flickered for a moment, and he suddenly remembered that night.

His eyes drifted involuntarily and slowly toward Jiang Baobao's soft, pink lips.

He then snapped back to his senses and gave an annoyed, light cough.

That night was just an accident!

He was only afraid that this reckless woman would wake up Yanbao!

Li Beijue adjusted his mood and said in a deep voice, "A three-billion investment is no small sum. I only require you to take this money and go abroad. Aside from the regular competitions, you are not to return without my permission!"

"Huh?" Jiang Baobao was stunned upon hearing this.

Did she mishear something?

Li Beijue was telling her to take the money and leave?

She had been dying to take Mobai back abroad!

Jiang Baobao was unable to process it for a moment.

Li Beijue, however, assumed she was unwilling and immediately furrowed his brows.

"What? You can't even manage this simple request?"

His tone was icy, his expression impatient.

Jiang Baobao hurriedly shook her head: "No, I'm just a little curious, why did President Li suddenly change his mind?"

"My son likes it," Li Beijue replied swiftly.

Thinking of the little guy's fussing over the past two days, he felt a sense of helplessness.

Jiang Baobao couldn't help but be stunned.

His son likes it?

Is it the one she saw that day?

Just as she was thinking, she suddenly heard Li Beijue scold: "Have you made up your mind yet? I don't have time to waste with you!"

"What are you yelling for!"

Jiang Baobao was startled and retorted unhappily. Then, she couldn't help but mutter under her breath: "And he's a father of two children, with such a bad temper, he's not afraid of scaring the little ones..."

Li Beijue frowned upon hearing this: "What are you babbling about? I only have one son!"

Jiang Baobao's hand, which was flipping through the contract, paused slightly.

Only one?

So... he wasn't going to fight her for Mobai anymore?

As expected, the young master he cared about was that little kid from the other day!

Everything before was purely to give her trouble!

Come to think of it, he hated her so much, how could he possibly be interested in the child they had together?

That was perfect; she didn't want to have any entanglements with him either!

Jiang Baobao scoffed disdainfully in her heart and felt completely at ease.

Afterward, she flipped directly to the last page of the contract, signed her name with great joy, and looked over the contract with satisfaction.

This was three billion!

It was truly like a pie falling from the sky.

Although she wasn't short on money, who would complain about having too much?

Not to mention, it was at the expense of this bastard!

Jiang Baobao couldn't be more satisfied; her face was practically written with the word 'happy'.

"Jiang Baobao, let me remind you, you had better take the money and get out quickly. If you go back on your word, you will have to pay ten times the penalty!"

Assistant Chen had been standing to the side listening for a while, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.

Ten times!

That was thirty billion!

In his whole life...

No!

Even in this life and the next, he wouldn't be able to earn that much!

President Li was too ruthless!

Jiang Baobao naturally saw this clause as well, but she didn't take it to heart at all.

She looked completely indifferent and curled her lips: "Don't worry, once the funds arrive, I will leave immediately. I don't want to stay for even a second longer! After all, I'm almost sick to my stomach looking at President Li's cold face."

Jiang Baobao retorted, dropped the sentence, and walked away quickly.

Li Beijue slammed his fist onto the edge of the table, fire rising in his eyes, but he suppressed it.

This woman was leaving immediately anyway!

He would let her off the hook this time!

Thinking this, he glanced at the contract in front of him and felt much more at ease.

The next second, however, he heard his phone suddenly ring.

Li Beijue picked up the phone, listened for only two seconds, and then stood up abruptly!

"Drive back to Li Mansion."

After dropping this sentence, he strode away.

Outside the door, Jiang Baobao had already taken a taxi and gone far away.

She was in an excellent mood, humming a song the whole way.

Yanbao had known she went to discuss an investment and had been waiting at home anxiously for half the day.

Hearing the door, he immediately sprinted over.

"Mommy! How did your work go? Was the trouble resolved?"

Yanbao tugged at Jiang Baobao's hand, asking impatiently.

Jiang Baobao nodded with a smile, crouched down, and pinched his little cheek: "Of course it's settled! With Mommy being so capable, what could I not negotiate?"

As she spoke, she held the little guy and sat on the sofa.

Yanbao's expression was equally excited, his pair of big eyes sparkling.

That's great!

Mommy's problem is solved!

I knew Mobai would definitely have a way!

He thought to himself, and then immediately heard Jiang Baobao continue: "Baby, once everything is confirmed, we can go back abroad. Are you happy? We can see Tiantian when we go back! Mommy has missed Tiantian so much!"

"Go back?" Yanbao's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes widened instantly.

Jiang Baobao was still beaming: "That's right, our home is abroad, so of course we have to go back. It's just a bit earlier than Mommy expected! This is good too, it saves your annoying daddy from always bothering us!"

Yanbao blinked, not knowing what to say for a moment, his heart filled only with anxiety.

Mommy cannot go back!

He couldn't bear to let Mommy leave!

"Baby, what's wrong? Are you unhappy?" Seeing the little guy looking dazed, Jiang Baobao couldn't help but tug on his little nose.

Then, suddenly thinking of something, she narrowed her eyes slightly and pretended to be unhappy: "Don't tell me you can't bear to leave that bastard daddy of yours? Mommy will be sad if that's the case!"

"It's not that!" Yanbao immediately refuted, forced to put on a smiling face.

"I... I was just thinking about what gifts to bring for my little sister when we go back!"

Yanbao found an excuse at random and struggled to jump out of Jiang Baobao's arms.

"Mommy, I'm going back to my room first to see if there's anything I need to take back!"

He dropped this sentence and ran back to his room quickly, not forgetting to lock the door behind him.

He then quickly fished out his phone and found Mobai's number.

"Beep—"

A long busy signal came from the phone until it hung up.

Yanbao's little face was full of anxiety, and he hurriedly edited a message.

【Mobai! I have something important to talk to you about! Remember to reply to me when you see this!】

The message was sent, but there was still no response for a long time.

Holding the phone, Yanbao was at a loss, sitting blankly on the edge of the bed.

What should I do...

If Mommy really leaves, I will never be able to see her and Mobai again!

On the other side—

Li Beijue went straight to Yanbao's bedroom on the third floor after getting out of the car.

Zheng Bo was sitting anxiously by the bed; seeing Li Beijue return, it was as if he had seen a savior.

"Young Master, you've finally returned..."

"What happened to the young master?" Li Beijue strode over.

Then he saw the little guy, who was usually full of life, now lying on the bed with his eyes tightly shut and his expression pale.

His heart tightened fiercely.
