Chapter 418: Waiting for You to Untie It Yourself

"Boom!"

Jiang Baobao heard a string in her mind snap in an instant.

Does giving a tie have this layer of meaning?

How had she never heard of it?

Jiang Baobao froze in place, feeling her cheeks burning slightly.

Little did she know that in Li Beijue's eyes, her cheeks had already turned bright red in an instant.

"I... I didn't know, otherwise I wouldn't have given you this. Since that's the case, then you should give it back to me, and I'll buy you another gift..."

Jiang Baobao finally regained her train of thought and spoke stammeringly, wanting to take back the gift she had given.

Li Beijue, however, curled his lips, took the opportunity to put the hand holding the tie behind his back, and said unhurriedly, "How can there be any reason to take back something that has already been given? Besides, I said just now that I really... like it."

He said the last two words extremely softly, with an ambiguous tone that was almost flirting.

Although he wanted to say a little more, he restrained himself for fear that the person in front of him would blow up.

Jiang Baobao stood straight, her thoughts having already flown to outer space.

"Since the tie has already been given..."

Li Beijue's voice sounded again, and Jiang Baobao subconsciously looked up at him, then heard him ask softly, "Then when do you plan to..."

He deliberately left his sentence unfinished.

Jiang Baobao blinked, feeling as if she understood what the person in front of her wanted to say.

When do you plan to... untie it yourself?

The man's smiling voice suddenly surfaced in her mind, making the redness on her face instantly more obvious, and her earlobes burned fiercely.

Li Beijue's eyes were full of smiles, as if he had discovered something fun, and he deliberately lowered his head to lean close to her face.

Then he said softly, "What are you thinking about? Why does your face seem even redder than before?"

As he spoke, his gaze could not help but slowly fall on the two soft, pink lips that were close at hand.

As if attracted, he could not help but begin to lean in, bit by bit.

"Thump!"

Whose heartbeat it was, a violent sound came.

Jiang Baobao widened her eyes, and an alarm went off in her mind instantly.

It warned her that she should immediately pull away and return to her room.

But her body seemed to be disobedient, standing there blankly, unable to move.

The distance between the two shortened bit by bit...

So close that it seemed even their breathing was intertwined...

Li Beijue's eyes were as deep as the ocean, but his heart was filled with an unprecedented nervousness.

The distance closed a little more...

Just at this moment—

"Wow! Daddy, Mommy, what are you doing!"

Tiantian's voice came suddenly, instantly startling the two adults into separating like springs.

Jiang Baobao's thoughts finally returned completely, and seeing the three little ones standing outside the door already frozen in place, she suddenly didn't know how to explain.

"Why did you come over?"

Li Beijue spoke first, sighing helplessly in his heart.

These three little ones, didn't they arrive too "timely"?

Why did they have to run over at a time like this...

The three little ones looked at each other upon hearing this, and then Mobai explained loudly, "We just went to the room to look for Mommy! But we didn't see Mommy, so we knew Mommy must have come to find Daddy! But who knew that today Daddy and Mommy would be standing at the door of the house kissing..."

"We were not!"

Jiang Baobao subconsciously retorted, and after she finished speaking, she realized how much those four words were trying to cover up.

"Is that so? But we all saw it with our own eyes..."

Yanbao stated the facts solemnly.

Seeing that the other two little ones also had looks of disbelief, Jiang Baobao wished she could just find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Was she possessed just now?

To actually stand there without moving!

If they hadn't run over, then she and Li Beijue...

Some ambiguous and romantic scenes suddenly surfaced in Jiang Baobao's mind, and her earlobes instantly burned even hotter.

"Buzz—!"

The sudden vibration sound broke the awkward situation at this moment.

Jiang Baobao heard it coming from her pocket, and her eyes suddenly lit up, "Mommy is going to answer a call, you guys talk first!"

As if she had suddenly grabbed a life-saving straw, she said this while turning around and leaving quickly, fleeing back to her room.

Seeing that it was a call from Cai Xiaotang, Jiang Baobao let out a fierce sigh of relief.

Xiao Tang was simply her savior!

Jiang Baobao thought, and hurriedly answered the phone.

"Hello, Xiao Tang? What's the matter?"

Jiang Baobao asked straight to the point.

On the other end of the phone, Cai Xiaotang was a bit surprised, "Why do you sound so clear-headed? Did you wake up so early today?"

"Mm, I woke up a bit early today," Jiang Baobao replied casually.

Cai Xiaotang did not think much of it upon hearing this and continued to invite her: "Then do you want to come out for a stroll? We can have lunch together while we're at it. Your third match just ended, so you shouldn't be very busy right now, right?"

"Today? Sure! I can head out right now!"

Jiang Baobao's scalp tingled at the thought of the scene just now, and she agreed without a moment's hesitation.

Cai Xiaotang, however, could not help but find it a bit strange: "Coming out right now? The malls aren't even open yet; it'll be at least after nine o'clock... Did something happen?"

"Ahem... no, nothing." Jiang Baobao hurriedly found an excuse to explain: "I've just been too busy lately, and it's rare to be able to relax, so I wanted to head out earlier..."

"I see..." Cai Xiaotang suddenly realized: "Then let's head out early. Let's meet at the time the mall opens, right at the dessert shop downstairs."

"Alright, see you in a bit." Jiang Baobao agreed quickly.

Immediately after hanging up the phone, she heard the room door suddenly being knocked on.

"Are you still going to make breakfast for them today?"

Li Beijue's voice, suppressing a laugh, rang out from outside the door; he seemed to have been waiting at the entrance for a long time.

Why did he come here?

Hearing his voice, Jiang Baobao thought of the scene from earlier. Too preoccupied to care why he had come looking for her, she hurriedly answered loudly: "No! There's some already made in the fridge. Could you please get it for them? I... I have to go out in a bit, there's no time!"

"Alright, then you rest a bit more." Li Beijue did not say anything else and turned to leave.

Listening to him walk away, Jiang Baobao finally let out a heavy sigh of relief.

She then hurriedly tidied herself up, and seeing that the time was about right, she tiptoed and opened the bedroom door.

Li Beijue should have taken them to kindergarten by now, right?

He should have been gone for a while...

Thinking this, Jiang Baobao walked quickly down the stairs, wanting to get out of the house as fast as possible.

But she didn't expect that as soon as she stepped out, she would see him also walking out of the villa.

He was wearing the tie she had given him with his dark gray suit.

"You... where are Mobai and the others?"

Jiang Baobao asked subconsciously.

Li Beijue replied: "I had Chen Xi take them first."

After he finished speaking, he deliberately pointed to his tie and asked: "How is it? You picked it out yourself, does it still look good?"
