Chapter 436: Li Beijue is Still Somewhat Useful

Upon hearing this, Jiang Baobao subconsciously looked at the mess on the floor.

Just at this moment, Li Beijue also happened to walk in from outside the door.

"What's wrong?"

As soon as Li Beijue entered the room, he felt that the atmosphere inside was off, so he hurriedly asked. After speaking, he saw the spilled paint on the floor and instantly realized what had happened: "Yanbao, did the paint you need for your competition tomorrow spill?"

"Mm."

Yanbao nodded solemnly, the expression on his little face somewhat dejected.

Although he didn't blame Mobai, but...

If these paints were gone, he wouldn't be able to finish his painting for tomorrow!

"Mommy, where can we buy paint? Let's go buy new ones for Brother Yan!" Tiantian suddenly thought of something and suggested loudly from the side.

Jiang Baobao's eyes lit up instantly. Just as she was about to agree, she saw Yanbao's expression become even more dejected: "I probably can't buy them. These are paints that Daddy had someone bring back for me from abroad before; they might not be available here..."

Upon hearing this, Li Beijue hurriedly identified the brand of the paint carefully, confirming that it was indeed the gift he had given Yanbao before. Just as he was about to speak—

"Then... then can we use something else?" Mobai's cautious voice rang out, as he tried hard to make up for his careless mistake. As he spoke, he couldn't help but add a tearful, anxious tone: "What if we can't buy them... then Yanbao's painting won't be perfect... if it's not perfect, he won't win the championship... it's all my fault that he won't win the championship..."

Little Mobai seemed to have fallen into a strange logical trap; the more he spoke, the more anxious he became, and the more anxious he became, the sadder he felt. Seeing that he was about to actually cry—

Jiang Baobao hurriedly went to comfort him, but saw Yanbao suddenly grab his hand!

"Mobai, I'm really fine! The paint is spilled, so be it. I know you didn't mean it, and you've already apologized to me. It's just... I need to rethink what I can paint with the remaining paint. Why don't you help me think about it together?"

Yanbao persuaded Mobai "earnestly."

Hearing that he could still be of help, Mobai's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly wiped away his tears: "Really? Then I'll help you think!"

As the little guy said this, he jumped down from Jiang Baobao's arms.

Jiang Baobao watched the two little guys with relief, and suddenly felt a warmth in her heart.

She had originally thought the two children would cause an unpleasant scene, but now that they had solved the problem in their own way, this was for the best.

Jiang Baobao smiled, watched the three little guys discussing the content of tomorrow's competition, and then looked at the sky outside before saying: "Mommy will go to the art supply store and take a look, to see if I can buy the same paint for you."

"I'll go too."

Upon hearing this, Li Beijue immediately followed up.

Jiang Baobao subconsciously glanced at him and asked worriedly: "You're just going to leave the three of them here by themselves?"

Li Beijue replied: "There won't be any problems. This is a hotel owned by a friend of mine. If anything happens, you can call directly, and the three of them definitely won't run around."

As soon as his voice fell, Mobai and Yanbao immediately chimed in loudly: "Right! We won't run around!"

Daddy and Mommy are going out together!

How could they miss such an opportunity!

Seeing the two brothers starting up again, Tiantian helplessly glanced at them, but didn't say anything else.

Jiang Baobao had no choice but to give the three little guys a few instructions before leaving with Li Beijue.

In the elevator—

Jiang Baobao couldn't help but ask curiously: "Is the paint you bought for Yanbao hard to find?"

Li Beijue responded and replied: "It's a relatively niche brand from abroad. It's true that it might not be available domestically, but we can look for it."

As he spoke, he calmly took out his phone and sent a message to Assistant Chen.

Not long after, he received a reply.

【President Li, I checked. Only one art supply store in the city sells the paint brand you mentioned.】

Assistant Chen acted quickly, and a detailed address was attached to the message.

Li Beijue raised an eyebrow and looked at the time on his watch; it was still early.

He thought for a moment, then said: "I know the addresses of several large art supply stores; we can go check them first."

"Okay." Jiang Baobao didn't think much of it at all.

Not long after, they arrived at the first one.

The two got out of the car, went in to ask, and quickly came back out.

The result was naturally that they hadn't found what they wanted.

"Which one is next? Let's keep looking."

Jiang Baobao said, lifting her feet and walking toward the parking area.

Li Beijue's gaze flickered for a moment, and after checking the time, he hurriedly followed.

It was hard to get a chance for the two of them to be out alone... he wanted to spend a little more time with her.

Not long after, the two arrived at the second store.

But the result was the same as before; they didn't find the kind of paint they wanted.

Jiang Baobao had originally been full of confidence, but after failing twice in a row, she immediately wore her "worry" on her face.

Li Beijue couldn't bear to see her anxious, so he instantly abandoned his previous plan and hurriedly said: "I already had someone check just now. Only one art supply store in the city sells this kind of paint. We can go straight there."

"Really?" Jiang Baobao's expression instantly turned to surprise, and the heavy stone in her heart finally landed.

This guy could still be of some use at critical moments!

Now Yanbao wouldn't have to worry anymore, and Mobai wouldn't have to feel guilty anymore!

Jiang Baobao let out a sigh of relief, and even her gaze toward Li Beijue carried a hint of satisfaction.

"Ahem..."

Li Beijue gave a light cough, enjoying Jiang Baobao's appreciative gaze. He felt a rare moment of guilt, but more than that, it felt like a little kitten's paw was gently scratching at his heart, making him inexplicably itchy.

"Let's hurry over! The sooner we buy it, the sooner we can be at ease!"

Jiang Baobao couldn't wait to send the paint back.

Li Beijue also hurriedly turned and got into the car.

The two of them hurried all the way to the art supply store located inside the shopping mall, and after asking, they learned that there were just a few sets of that brand of paint left.

Jiang Baobao bought them with great satisfaction and planned to head back home.

But she did not expect that before she could even walk out of the mall, she would hear people around her discussing something.

She listened carefully for a moment, then looked at Li Beijue with a surprised expression and asked, "Is it raining outside?"

"It seems so." Li Beijue frowned slightly, led her through the crowd, and stood at the mall entrance.

Immediately, they saw that the sky, which had been clear when they entered, had become covered in dark clouds at some point.

The torrential rain poured down as if it were being dumped from the sky, accompanied by gale-force winds that lashed down with a clatter, making it impossible even for umbrellas to hold up.

"This..."

Jiang Baobao looked at the heavy rain outside, then looked at the car parked further away, and suddenly suggested, "Let's run over there! Let's hurry back while we can!"
