Chapter 443: Li Beijue is the King of Vinegar

Jiang Baobao's brain short-circuited for a moment.

She stared blankly at the person before her, forgetting how to speak for a moment.

As if drawn in by his gaze, she inexplicably began to lose herself in it.

By the time she came to her senses, she felt the person before her had inched closer, the distance between the two of them already having grown shorter and shorter.

The surrounding air had become somewhat scorching at some unknown point, seemingly burning away all the reason in her mind, bit by bit.

What did he want to do?

Jiang Baobao asked herself this, knowing the answer in her heart.

She opened her mouth subconsciously, but not a single word came out.

Their breathing seemed to merge into one, brushing against each other's faces, making one feel as if even the depths of their heart were itching slightly.

The distance between their lips was no more than a few centimeters.

As long as Li Beijue lowered his head slightly, he could taste that flavor that haunted his dreams, just like last night.

But just at this moment—

"Buzz—!"

A vibration suddenly came from beneath Jiang Baobao, giving her a start.

"The phone!"

She reacted quickly, turning to the side to slip directly out of Li Beijue's arms, immediately sitting down on the sofa nearby, her gaze deliberately fixed outside the window, though the roots of her ears were burning red.

Li Beijue took a deep breath, his face full of intense displeasure; picking up the phone to see it was actually a call from Gu Ruohan, he instantly wanted to kill someone even more.

"You had better have something important to tell me."

He answered the phone with an expressionless face, his tone icy.

Immediately, a crisp voice came from the other end of the line, asking: "Daddy, are you and Mommy still at the hotel?"

Li Beijue was stunned upon hearing this; hearing it was Tiantian's voice, he changed his expression almost instantly, answering in a gentle tone: "Daddy and Mommy are still at the hotel. You have already come out of the art gallery, haven't you?"

Tiantian replied immediately: "Yes! Uncle Gu said he wants to take us to eat something delicious; Daddy and Mommy should come too."

"Alright, then Daddy and Mommy will be over in a moment."

As Li Beijue was speaking, he suddenly heard the phone being snatched away.

Gu Ruohan's annoying voice also came from the other end of the line: "Hello? Then I'll send the address to your phone in a moment; you two tidy up and come over."

"Mm."

Li Beijue instantly became a man of few words again.

Hanging up the phone, Gu Ruohan couldn't help but beam with joy, pinching Tiantian's little cheek as he asked: "Tiantian, when Daddy answered the phone just now, was he fierce?"

"He was!"

The little girl replied with a straight face while imitating him: "Ahem! Daddy said just now, 'You had better have something important to tell me.'"

She mimicked him perfectly, instantly making Yanbao and Mobai, who were to the side, laugh out loud.

Gu Ruohan laughed until he was doubled over, liking the little girl before him more and more.

He knew Li Beijue would have that deadpan look when answering the phone!

It was definitely the right choice to have this little girl make the call!

Otherwise, if he had accidentally interrupted something, wouldn't his own little life be forfeit here today?

One hour later—

Jiang Baobao and Li Beijue arrived together at the restaurant Gu Ruohan had sent earlier.

It was a Japanese restaurant with very exquisite decor.

The shop had no Main Hall, but was instead divided into small private rooms.

Jiang Baobao and Li Beijue had just walked outside the door when they heard the happy chatter coming from inside.

"What are you all chatting about?"

Jiang Baobao pushed the door open with a smile and walked in.

"Mommy!"

As soon as the little ones saw Jiang Baobao arrive, they all swarmed over.

Yanbao even held the trophy, shoving it directly into Jiang Baobao's arms as he said loudly: "Mommy, this is today's trophy, I'm giving it to you! I was going to give you the painting too, but the winning entry has to be taken for an exhibition, and I won't get it back for a few months..."

"Is that so? It has to go to an exhibition? Our Yanbao is so amazing! Mommy is already very happy just having a trophy!"

Jiang Baobao looked at the little one's sparkling eyes, unable to help feeling a sense of pride in her heart.

As expected of her own son!

He was just this excellent and thoughtful!

"Ahem..."

Li Beijue, having been ignored by the three little ones for a long time on the side, gave a deliberate light cough.

Mobai then hurriedly asked: "Daddy, did you and Mommy watch the live stream of Yanbao's competition today?"

Li Beijue then answered with satisfaction: "Mm, I watched it; Yanbao performed very well."

"Thank you, Daddy!"

Hearing Li Beijue's praise, Yanbao was even happier.

Although Daddy had praised him before, he rarely did it so directly!

Daddy has changed so much during this time!

It's so good!

The family of five sat down at the table, happily discussing the day's competition.

Immediately after, someone spoke in a melancholy tone: "Sigh... I am truly too miserable. It's one thing not having a girlfriend, but I also have to sit here and be fed dog food by your family..."

"Uh..."

Jiang Baobao was stunned upon hearing this, only then suddenly realizing there was still someone at the table, and hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I was too focused on talking to the children..."

She smiled at Gu Ruohan.

The two of them knew each other, but they couldn't be considered very close.

Back in the day, Gu Ruohan liked to run over to Li Mansion whenever he had nothing to do, so naturally, he had seen Jiang Baobao several times.

But they had hardly ever spoken.

The atmosphere in the private room suddenly became eerily quiet for a moment.

Li Beijue's voice, filled with disdain, suddenly rang out.

"Why are you still here?"

He looked at Gu Ruohan, making no effort to hide the tone of wanting to chase him away.

Gu Ruohan immediately looked incredulous: "Li Beijue! Are you even human? I helped you look after the children last night, and this morning I took Yanbao to the competition. I've been busy until now, and I can't even get a meal out of it?"

"Pfft—"

Jiang Baobao couldn't hold it in and was amused by his miserable tone.

Seeing this, Li Beijue instantly changed his tune: "Fine, for the sake of you being able to make her happy, I'll allow you to stay."

Jiang Baobao was taken aback upon hearing this and immediately shot Li Beijue an annoyed look.

Then she saw Gu Ruohan clutching his chest, deliberately acting as if he couldn't catch his breath, and said intermittently: "Alright... I... I'm already full... stop spreading the dog food..."

The three little ones couldn't help but be amused by his appearance, and the private room was filled with laughter.

Not long after, the dishes the group had ordered were brought up.

Gu Ruohan ate while chatting with Jiang Baobao about the recent competition.

Jiang Baobao hadn't expected that he was also playing the game, so the two of them suddenly had a topic to discuss and became quite animated.

A certain big CEO listened from the side, feeling a bit sour inside.

How come everyone knows how to play games?

Except for him?

"Stop just chatting and eat something."

Li Beijue picked up a piece of sushi and placed it onto Jiang Baobao's plate.

The next second, he also picked one up for Gu Ruohan.

However, it was just a slice of pickled ginger.

"Hey, this difference is way too big..." Gu Ruohan was immediately full of displeasure.

Then he felt a warning glare instantly thrown his way by someone!

Seeing this, Gu Ruohan immediately shut his mouth obediently, but suddenly realized something.

This guy Li Beijue...

Could it be that he's even jealous of him?
