Chapter 415: The Most Special Gift

Matters having reached this point, Jiang Baobao looked at the small box before her, knowing she had no choice but to open it.

Several people nearby who loved to watch the excitement and didn't fear chaos were still whispering and discussing.

"Could it really be a ring?"

"No way, right? Even if the big benefactor wanted to propose, it couldn't be here, could it? It would have to be something more high-end, right?"

"But what if the boss wants to keep a low profile..."

The few of them discussed as if no one else were around.

Jiang Baobao felt her head spinning, so she simply grabbed the box and opened it directly.

The next second, she widened her eyes, looking at the contents of the box in disbelief, completely stunned.

It was a pair of very delicate earrings, crafted from silver in a hollowed-out design, with a tiny magnolia flower dangling at the very bottom.

It was exactly the same as the necklace on her chest.

"This..."

Jiang Baobao stared at the earrings, unable to help but feel a bit dazed for a moment.

Li Beijue explained dotingly: "These earrings were made by the same designer who made your necklace. She still had the design sketches for the necklace, so..."

Jiang Baobao already understood what he was going to say, and her mood suddenly became somewhat complicated.

Reason told her that she shouldn't accept this gift.

But emotionally, she didn't want to refuse.

This magnolia flower held too much significance for her.

"Boss, what are you dazed for? Hurry up and put them on so we can see!"

Seeing that Jiang Baobao had been staring at the earrings without reacting for a long time, Xiao Ding started to loudly tease her again.

Jiang Baobao nodded, then hurriedly reached out to grab one.

But someone was a step faster.

"Let me help you."

As Li Beijue said this, he leaned over slightly and slowly moved closer to Jiang Baobao's ear.

"Oh, oh, oh..." The others let out more teasing noises of ambiguous meaning.

Jiang Baobao subconsciously wanted to dodge, but just as she moved, she heard Li Beijue whisper in her ear: "Don't move."

His voice was low and deep, seemingly carrying some kind of magic, which made Jiang Baobao freeze for a moment, and then her earlobes couldn't help but start to heat up; her breath seemed to be filled with the pleasant scent of the person beside her.

A tiny sensation came from her earlobe.

She hadn't been wearing any earrings today, and now with the small magnolia flower hanging by her ear, plus the necklace on her chest, her whole person suddenly radiated a gentle and quiet aura.

"Wow! So pretty!" Tiantian immediately praised her very supportively.

After saying that, she couldn't help but touch her own little ears and said crisply: "When I grow up, I want to get little holes in my ears too! Then I can wear pretty earrings!"

"Hahaha, as expected of our little princess! So young and already learning to be vain!"

The little girl's words instantly made everyone around her laugh.

Jiang Baobao also couldn't help but shake her head with a smile, then reached out to touch the pendant on her ear and whispered, "Thank you."

If all the previous "confessions" had only brought surprise, then today, there was nothing left but overwhelming emotion.

Jiang Baobao never expected that Li Beijue would bring out such a gift.

"As long as you like it."

Li Beijue's expression was doting, and he felt completely relieved in his heart.

It was a good thing she didn't refuse...

The group sat back down at their seats, but Ke Hao suddenly asked in confusion: "Eh? Where's Brother Shen? Why isn't he here? When did he go out?"

Jiang Baobao also suddenly came back to her senses, only to realize that Shen Lingfeng's seat had been empty for who knows how long.

"He probably went to the restroom, he'll be back in a bit."

Xiao Ding answered casually, and the group didn't dwell on the matter any further.

Jiang Baobao couldn't help but glance at the direction of the door a couple of times, vaguely feeling a bit uneasy, but she didn't think too much about it.

The group ate and chatted until late at night, when they finally decided to head home.

Jiang Baobao was about to get in the car with the little ones, but unexpectedly, Li Beijue suddenly appeared outside the car and asked: "Chen Xi drove my car away, could I trouble you to take me back with you?"

"We aren't..."

Jiang Baobao subconsciously wanted to say it wasn't on the way, but halfway through, she suddenly realized that a certain guy had recently moved across from her Base, and she was instantly speechless.

"Mommy, just let Daddy come with us!"

Mobai and Yanbao spoke up at the same time to "assist."

Jiang Baobao pondered for two seconds and was just about to agree when, unexpectedly, Tiantian also said: "Daddy, if you want to ride in Mommy's car, you have to give Mommy money! Taking a taxi costs money too!"

"No need!"

Jiang Baobao hurriedly stopped her, looking at the little girl before her with a mix of amusement and helplessness.

Was this child here to help or to make things worse?

If she really let Li Beijue treat her car like a taxi, he would probably ride in it every day!

"So Mommy agrees to let Daddy ride for free?"

Mobai keenly sensed Tiantian's intention and hurriedly pressed for an answer.

Jiang Baobao sighed helplessly, nodded along, and subconsciously touched the magnolia earring.

She had intended to agree anyway, okay...

These three little ones seemed terrified that she would really leave Li Beijue behind...

Thinking this, Jiang Baobao turned and pulled open the car door, signaling for Li Beijue to bring the three little ones into the car.

Li Beijue had long been unable to hold back the smile at the corners of his lips, and he sat in Jiang Baobao's car, satisfied, as they returned to the Base together.

As soon as he got out of the car, he took the opportunity to invite her: "Do you want to come over to my place for a bit?"

"No..."

Jiang Baobao refused without a second thought.

But she had only said one word when she heard Li Beijue continue: "I still have something to give you; there were too many people just now, so it wasn't very convenient, which is why I didn't take it out."

"There's no need; this gift is already very precious, I don't need anything else."

Jiang Baobao thought he had prepared some other jewelry, so she hurriedly refused, her mood feeling somewhat subtle for a moment.

This pair of earrings... she had just accepted them like that...

She had to think of a way to return the favor, otherwise, she would always feel uneasy in her heart...

Just as Jiang Baobao was thinking this, she heard Li Beijue explain: "It's not a gift, it's something that should have been given to you in the first place; you don't need to overthink it, I just want to hand it to you personally."

"What is it?" Jiang Baobao was stunned upon hearing this, unable to help feeling a bit curious.

Li Beijue, however, deliberately kept her in suspense: "If you come with me, won't you know?"

"Mommy, go quickly! It must be something good!"

Mobai couldn't help but urge her from the side.

Yanbao also chimed in with a serious expression: "That's right, Mommy can go see what it is first, then decide whether to accept it."

Jiang Baobao hesitated for a moment and was just about to open her mouth to have the three little ones go with her, when the next second—

Mobai suddenly grabbed Yanbao and Tiantian's little hands and turned to run!

"Mommy! We're going back to rest first! You and Daddy just go look at the mysterious gift! We won't be light bulbs!"
