Chapter 428: Is Li Beijue Preparing to Propose?

Cai Xiaotang stared blankly at her own hand, her expression dazed for a moment.

Li Xiao noticed it too; he instantly put away his teasing expression and lunged forward two steps.

"The wound must have accidentally split open. You need to come back to the Hospital with me to have it re-treated."

As Li Xiao spoke, he pulled Cai Xiaotang along, intending to leave.

"No..." Cai Xiaotang instinctively wanted to retort.

Li Xiao had already guessed what she was going to say and deliberately scared her, saying, "A gunshot wound is very serious; it's not an ordinary wound. If it's not treated well, you might end up needing an amputation."

Upon hearing this, Cai Xiaotang's expression turned to shock in an instant. She immediately swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue and could only glare unhappily at his back.

The tiny, stinging pain of the wound constantly irritated her nerves, making her feel even more irritable.

What on earth was she doing here today?

If she had known, she would have been better off staying at the Hospital!

On the other side—

Jiang Baobao and Li Beijue had already taken the three little ones to visit the undersea tunnel.

"Mommy, do you know what kind of fish that is?" Yanbao asked, his curious, big eyes fixed on one of the fish.

"Oh, you're right! That fish looks so strange!"

Tiantian also curiously tugged at Jiang Baobao's hand.

Jiang Baobao snapped back to reality, glanced in the direction the children were pointing, and then answered with a laugh, "Mommy is seeing it for the first time too, I don't know its name..."

As she spoke, she checked her phone, pondered for two seconds, and then put it back in her bag.

Xiao Tang hadn't sent a message...

Did that mean the two of them were having a pretty good date?

Since that was the case, if she didn't initiate contact, then she shouldn't disturb them...

After all, when one is hurt and upset, one hopes to have the person they like by their side; she certainly didn't want to be a third wheel!

Thinking this, Jiang Baobao continued to focus on accompanying the little ones as they toured.

After the group came out of the undersea tunnel, Mobai started clamoring to go see a performance, so the family of five had no choice but to head straight to the performance hall.

Once they were seated, Li Beijue felt his phone vibrate.

He stole a glance at Jiang Baobao without changing his expression, then quietly scanned his screen, seeing, as expected, that it was a message from Li Xiao.

【I've brought Xiao Tang back to the Hospital, enjoy your world for two.】

Li Beijue raised an eyebrow, finally feeling much more at ease.

Without the "third wheel" around, it would be much easier to carry out his plans for the evening...

"Ahem..."

He gave a light cough and, deliberately acting as if nothing were the matter, said to Jiang Baobao, "My uncle said they left first."

"Left? Where to?" Jiang Baobao was taken aback upon hearing this, instantly feeling a bit uneasy.

Li Beijue hurriedly explained, "They probably went on a date somewhere else, so..."

"Oh... alright then..." Jiang Baobao understood instantly and didn't ask any more questions, though she couldn't help but mutter to herself.

That Xiao Tang...

How come she never noticed before that she was such a romantic fool?

She left without even telling her...

Jiang Baobao didn't have the slightest suspicion and focused on taking the three little ones to watch the performance.

The dolphin and sea lion show was very spectacular, keeping almost all the children in the audience glued to the stage.

Even Jiang Baobao had her attention captured.

After the performance ended, a male animal trainer suddenly recalled the two dolphins that had already gone to rest.

The audience, who hadn't left yet, couldn't help but watch again.

They saw one dolphin swimming rapidly toward the shore with a bouquet of flowers in its mouth, while the other held a small box.

All the audience members immediately couldn't help but start whispering excitedly.

"Is there a special program today? Why haven't I seen this before?"

"I don't know, that little box... why does it look like it's for a ring?"

The crowd's discussion grew louder and louder.

Jiang Baobao, however, froze in her seat, not daring to move a muscle.

Flowers?

A ring?

It couldn't be something else arranged by Li Beijue, could it!

Jiang Baobao took a deep breath, not knowing what would happen next.

Li Beijue noticed her stiffness and hurriedly asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?"

Jiang Baobao turned her head slowly, her eyes meeting Li Beijue's with a questioning look.

Their gazes met.

Li Beijue seemed to read her current mood; he was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to explain—

The audience in the front row suddenly erupted into a burst of cheers and applause!

They saw the male trainer take the flowers and the ring from the mouths of the two dolphins and kneel on one knee in front of a female trainer who had been directing from the other side during the performance.

"Say yes to him!"

"Say yes!"

The surrounding crowd couldn't help but cheer in good spirits.

Jiang Baobao suddenly snapped back to reality, only then seeing the area at the very front, where the female animal trainer was accepting the other person's ring with a shy and moved expression, and the two of them embraced happily.

"Whew..."

She let out a sigh of relief, the heavy stone in her heart dropping in an instant, and she couldn't help but be infected by the surrounding atmosphere, a faint smile appearing on her face.

Watching others propose really is a very beautiful thing...

Just as she was thinking this, she suddenly heard—

"You were so nervous just now, did you think... all of this was prepared for you?"

Li Beijue's voice, filled with a smile, rang out by her ear.

He had indeed arranged something.

But it wasn't here.

Hearing this, Jiang Baobao's expression stiffened, and an awkward look flashed across her face in a split second.

Li Beijue, however, suddenly switched to a thoughtful tone, looking at the two people who had successfully proposed in front, and slowly said: "If you like this kind of way, I can also..."

"No need! I don't like it!"

Jiang Baobao refused at a rapid speed, fearing that this person might actually get some strange ideas, not realizing at all that she seemed to have been lured into a "trap."

"Then what kind of proposal do you like? Can you tell me?"

A clear trace of a smile flashed in Li Beijue's eyes, and seeing that someone had "fallen for the trick," he struck decisively.

"I..."

Jiang Baobao choked suddenly, finally realizing what was happening.

She and Li Beijue didn't even have the first stroke of a character written yet!

Why were they discussing a proposal so seriously?

Did she ever say she wanted to marry him?

He was actually trying to fish for answers!

Jiang Baobao's gaze flickered for a moment, and just as she didn't know what to say, she suddenly heard Mobai ask with surprise: "Is Daddy going to propose to Mommy? Then let me give Daddy some ideas!"

"No! You brat, don't talk nonsense!"

Jiang Baobao hadn't expected that he had actually heard the conversation just now, and immediately spoke to deny it.

But seeing the little devil looking so eager and excited, she knew that her explanation just now had been completely useless.

Li Beijue watched the interaction between the two, the corners of his lips curling up immediately, his mood quite good.

A proposal, huh...

Although he hasn't won her back yet, considering it a little bit doesn't seem impossible...

This time, he will definitely give her a perfect proposal!
