Chapter 414: A Surprise for You

Jiang Baobao looked at the gossipy expressions on their faces and rolled her eyes, speechless.

"What is there to share? Has your training been too light lately?"

Jiang Baobao deliberately tried to scare them.

Who knew that Ke Hao would keenly seize the loophole, saying with a meaningful look: "You're just unwilling to share, but you haven't denied it, so... our gold-daddy has indeed taken some actions toward you, Boss, recently, right?"

"You!!!"

Jiang Baobao was instantly rendered speechless, unable to stop a look of annoyance from appearing on her face.

Immediately after, Mobai was heard saying loudly: "Daddy set off fireworks for Mommy!"

Yanbao also chimed in: "Mommy even taught Daddy how to cook fish that day!"

"Right!" Mobai continued: "After that, Daddy accidentally burned his hand, and Mommy even... mmm mmm mmm..."

Before the little guy could finish his sentence, he was "forcibly" silenced by Jiang Baobao.

Jiang Baobao was full of embarrassment and helplessness; she covered Mobai's mouth with one hand and swept a warning glance at the rest of the people watching the show.

Shen Lingfeng also hurriedly spoke up to smooth things over: "Alright, stop messing around."

Hearing this, the team members reluctantly shut their mouths and turned to discuss today's match instead.

Shen Lingfeng, however, had a troubled expression as he sat down beside Jiang Baobao.

Seeing that no one else was paying attention to their side, he asked in a low voice: "You two..."

"We're really fine." Jiang Baobao hurriedly replied upon hearing this, looking at Shen Lingfeng with helplessness as she retorted: "Don't tell me you're here to gossip too?"

Shen Lingfeng hurriedly denied it: "Of course not. As long as you're fine, remember to tell me in time if you have any difficulties."

"Don't worry." Jiang Baobao smiled at him.

Since it had come to this, Shen Lingfeng couldn't ask any more questions and could only hide all his thoughts in his heart.

After three rounds of drinks—

The members of the Team were all getting a bit high.

Jiang Baobao had also drunk some, though she wasn't drunk. She looked at them with amusement and said: "You'd better cherish this time now. Once the round-robin tournament starts, even if we win, there won't be time to find excuses to come out for a celebration banquet. If you want to eat something good, you'll only be able to order takeout..."

Before she could finish, Xiao Ding interrupted: "Takeout is fine! Our gold-daddy's takeout is even higher quality than a regular restaurant! I even dreamed about that sushi from last time last night. Ah... that taste, it was truly superb!"

Xiao Ding looked reminiscent, as if the sushi were right in front of him.

Just as his voice fell, the door to the private room not far away was suddenly pushed open!

Several waiters were seen pushing a large two-tiered cake over!

"Damn! What kind of setup is this? Is someone having a birthday today?"

Almost everyone stood up from their seats instantly.

The three little ones were even faster, jumping straight off their chairs and running toward the door.

Then they shouted in surprise toward the door in unison: "Daddy!"

"Gold-daddy is here?"

Xiao Ding was the first to react and hurriedly poked his head out to look.

Jiang Baobao was also full of surprise, and immediately after, she saw the man's familiar figure walk in from outside the door.

"Sorry, I had some work to handle, I'm late."

Li Beijue smiled apologetically at everyone and sat down beside Jiang Baobao very naturally.

Everyone immediately revealed gossipy expressions again.

Jiang Baobao felt even more subtle, lowering her head to glance at the back of Li Beijue's hand.

She saw that the large patch of red was now only a small spot.

It seems her medicine was quite effective...

As Jiang Baobao was thinking this, she suddenly heard Ano's excited voice: "Wow! It's actually our Team's LOGO! Gold-daddy is so thoughtful!"

Jiang Baobao was stunned when she heard this and subconsciously looked toward the cake.

Sure enough, she saw their team's icon drawn on the cake, with various constellation icons carefully drawn on the side as embellishments.

"Do you want to make the first cut?"

A beautiful cake knife was suddenly handed to Jiang Baobao, and Li Beijue's smiling inquiry reached her ears.

Once these words were out, everyone couldn't help but put on expressions of waiting to see a good show.

"Hey, I bet there's something inside this cake!"

"I think so too!"

Ke Hao and Xiao Ding joined in the clamor, and Ano also urged from the side: "Boss, hurry up and cut it, let us see if there's really a surprise inside!"

"Yeah! Maybe it's a big diamond ring!"

Lao K couldn't help but tease as well.

Jiang Baobao listened to their chatter, speechless, wishing she could just rush up and seal their mouths one by one.

She looked at the knife in front of her, her expression hesitant for a moment.

Just as she was about to refuse, she heard Li Beijue ask with a smile: "Afraid to cut it?"

"Who says I'm afraid!"

Jiang Baobao fell for the trap instantly and stood up with the cake knife without a second word.

"Oh oh oh, cutting the cake!"

Everyone immediately started cheering.

Jiang Baobao's mood, however, couldn't help but be a bit uneasy.

After all, with so many people here... there shouldn't be anything inside, right?

"Mommy, hurry up and cut it!"

The three little ones couldn't help but urge her from the side as well.

Jiang Baobao nodded; although she couldn't help but feel a bit apprehensive inside, she felt everyone watching her "like tigers eyeing their prey," so she steeled her heart and fiercely cut down into the cake!

"Clang!"

The knife struck hard against an object in the middle of the cake.

Jiang Baobao's movements stiffened abruptly, and the expression on her face froze instantly.

No way...

Did Li Beijue really put something inside the cake?

The rest of the people were also stunned for a moment, and then they erupted into even louder cheering.

"Oh, oh, oh! There really is something!"

"Boss, hurry up and take it out so we can see what it is!"

Everyone was incredibly curious about the thing inside the cake.

Jiang Baobao, however, didn't dare to move, and thinking of the inexplicable castle contract from last time, she became even more uncertain about the thing inside the cake.

What could be inside...

It wouldn't be some other strange and bizarre thing, would it...

Or is it really, just like what the few of them said, a... ring?

This possibility flashed through Jiang Baobao's mind, and then she saw Li Beijue trigger some mechanism on the cake box, and the cake actually split into two automatically, revealing a hollowed-out mechanism hidden inside.

It was a jewelry box made of fondant, about half the size of a palm.

"Oh ho, this looks... kind of pretty..."

Xiao Ding grabbed the box with quick eyes and fast hands, nimbly wiped the cream off it with a tissue, and placed it in front of Jiang Baobao.

Jiang Baobao still hadn't quite come back to her senses.

"Open it and take a look," Li Beijue said with a smile, reminding her.

Jiang Baobao nodded subconsciously, but then suddenly realized what was happening.

This guy is just too cunning!

To actually give her a gift in this way in front of so many people!
