Chapter 495

Early the next morning—

Jiang Baobao woke up in Li Beijue's arms.

She had hesitated for a long time yesterday, but in the end, she did not leave.

But she hadn't expected that once a certain someone returned to bed, he would still be extremely "excessive"!

Fortunately, he still had some sense of propriety and ultimately restrained himself.

Yet he had still taken enough "liberties" with Jiang Baobao before finally falling asleep, contentedly holding her.

"Awake?"

Li Beijue's voice came from beside her ear, abruptly pulling back Jiang Baobao's thoughts.

Only then did she realize that the person beside her had woken up who knows when and had already been staring at her for a long time.

"Mm... awake."

Jiang Baobao replied casually and immediately wanted to get up.

Li Beijue subconsciously wanted to trap her in his arms, but thinking of last night, he had to give up, fearing that the person before him would truly fly into a rage out of shame.

After all, he still wanted to keep her here tonight...

Outside the bedroom door, the three little ones were tiptoeing, trying to approach Jiang Baobao's room.

But unexpectedly, before they could even knock, Li Beijue's door was suddenly opened from the inside!

Jiang Baobao stepped out and happened to come face-to-face with the three little ones.

"Mommy, why are you in Daddy's room?"

Yanbao was the first to react and subconsciously asked.

Jiang Baobao's face flushed, and she heard Mobai say loudly, "Mommy is still wearing pajamas! You must have slept with Daddy last night!"

"Really, Mommy? Did you stay with Daddy last night?"

Tiantian also looked at Jiang Baobao and asked, joining in the excitement.

This was originally the most ordinary thing, but being stared at by the three little ones with such innocent and cute eyes, Jiang Baobao felt inexplicably nervous.

"We..."

She opened her mouth, thinking about how to explain this to the three little ones.

But it seemed there was nothing to say, right?

Didn't Mobai and Yanbao originally hope that she and Li Beijue would reconcile quickly?

Even Tiantian, that little girl, had completely defected recently, being coaxed by that guy Li Beijue into laughing happily every day...

Just as Jiang Baobao was thinking, she suddenly heard Li Beijue's voice from behind her.

"Shouldn't Daddy and Mommy be sleeping together in the first place?"

His tone carried satisfaction; one could tell at a listen that he was in an excellent mood.

"Right! We should be living together in the first place!"

Yanbao immediately answered loudly.

Jiang Baobao felt a bit embarrassed, but this time she did not deny it; she just looked at them with amusement and turned back into the room without a word.

Li Beijue immediately said to the three little ones, "Look, Mommy is shy."

"Then we won't disturb Daddy and Mommy here!"

Mobai immediately grasped the spirit of it, grabbed Yanbao and Tiantian, and turned to run.

The sound of the three little ones' pattering footsteps and a burst of laughter came from the stairs.

Daddy and Mommy have really reconciled this time!

Their family can be together!

In the afternoon—

After the three little ones finished lunch, they immediately ducked into Jiang Chenghao's room.

They had all hit it off recently, and Jiang Chenghao liked the children very much, so he accompanied them to play.

But unexpectedly, Li Beijue came looking for them.

"Daddy, did you come to find us to play together?"

Tiantian asked him curiously.

Li Beijue smiled and shook his head, picked up the little girl, and looked at Jiang Chenghao.

"Mr. Jiang, I have something I would like to discuss with you."

He and Jiang Chenghao were not far apart in age, so he really couldn't bring himself to call him "Uncle," and since they weren't very close, calling him by his name felt awkward, so he simply addressed him this way.

Jiang Chenghao nodded, waiting for him to speak.

Li Beijue placed the little girl by the bed and then said slowly, "I have been planning... to propose to Baobao recently. I wonder if I could ask for your help?"

Mobai immediately opened his mouth in surprise: "Wow!"

"Shh, don't let Mommy hear," Li Beijue immediately signaled for him to be quieter.

The expressions of the three little ones instantly became very cautious, as if they had heard some earth-shattering secret, and they hurriedly nodded.

Jiang Chenghao's expression, however, was somewhat puzzled.

He only knew beforehand that Li Beijue and Jiang Baobao had some misunderstandings, which was why they had separated.

Later, when she returned, the two of them also had some conflicts.

But he was not too clear on some of the details.

"I don't quite understand. The children are already so big... why the sudden desire to propose?"

Jiang Chenghao posed his question.

Li Beijue's gaze flickered for a moment before he explained, "I owe her for this matter; back then..."

He recounted in detail how he had been saved by Jiang Baobao sixteen years ago, and how things had developed between the two of them afterward.

Jiang Chenghao's expression also gradually became somewhat grave.

He had never imagined that the boy Jiang Baobao had saved back then was actually Li Beijue!

And he had no idea that when she first married into the family, she had actually suffered such great grievances here!

"The proposal and the wedding are both things I owe her, so I want to make up for them now... although it might already be a bit late, I don't want these two things to become regrets in her heart. At the same time, I also want to tell her that I am seriously wanting to marry her, seriously wanting to spend the rest of my life with her—not because she saved me back then, not because she bore me three children, but because I truly love her."

Li Beijue's tone was earnest, and seeing Jiang Chenghao's expression, he hurriedly promised, "I can swear that I will definitely take good care of Baobao for the rest of my life and will never let her suffer even the slightest grievance again!"

Jiang Chenghao did not speak, merely staring fixedly at Li Beijue, thinking about the things he had just said.

Combined with what Jiang Baobao had said before, it was enough to piece together a complete story.

He could tell that Li Beijue cherished his Baobao now.

Baobao also cared about him very much.

Jiang Chenghao pondered for a moment before replying, "As Baobao's only relative now, I believe what you said, but if one day you go back on your word..."

"I won't."

Li Beijue knew what he wanted to say: "I will absolutely never lose her again, and I will never let her be sad or heartbroken again..."

Jiang Chenghao nodded and did not continue speaking.

The two men exchanged a look, and both already understood the other's meaning.

Jiang Chenghao then continued to ask, "Tell me about your plan; what help do you want from me?"

"Yeah, Daddy, we can help too! And we will definitely keep your secret!"

The three little ones also chimed in all at once.

"Of course, I can't leave you out."

Li Beijue looked at the children before him with amusement before explaining his plan.

The group discussed in the room for several hours and finally finalized the entire plan.

Li Beijue repeatedly urged the three little ones to keep it a secret before leaving the room and heading straight to the study.

He did not rush to handle his work, but instead made a phone call to Li Xiao.

"What is it? Something up?"

As soon as Li Xiao answered the phone, he asked straight to the point.

Li Beijue was silent for two seconds before asking, "Is Cai Xiaotang there? I have something I need her help with."
