Chapter 496: Everyone Mobilizes, Preparing for a Proposal

Li Xiao raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, and calmly swept a glance at Cai Xiaotang, who was sunbathing in the back garden.

"What could you possibly need her help with? You'd be better off asking me than her."

Li Xiao replied with amusement.

Li Beijue replied instantly: "If you have the time, I wouldn't mind if you came to help as well."

"Oh?"

Li Xiao became even more interested: "What exactly are you planning to do? To ask both of us for help at the same time... could it be related to your sweetheart?"

"Yes, I plan to propose."

Li Beijue admitted frankly.

Li Xiao was instantly enlightened: "So that's what it is. Then don't worry about it, I'll pass the message on for you. If there's anything, just tell me directly; she shouldn't refuse."

"Are you sure?"

Li Beijue knew that Cai Xiaotang had many opinions about him previously, so his tone was somewhat hesitant.

Li Xiao, however, guaranteed: "I'm sure. Rest assured, I'll contact you once she agrees."

After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone decisively and turned to go find her in the back garden.

Cai Xiaotang was sprawled on a lounge chair, eyes closed to rest.

Hearing footsteps approaching, she spoke without thinking: "I'm enjoying the sunshine and don't want to chat with you, lest it ruin my mood..."

Her tone was lazy, and the corners of Li Xiao's mouth curled up instantly upon hearing it.

He then deliberately drew out his voice: "Is that so? I have some good news I wanted to tell you, but since you don't want to hear it, then never mind..."

"What news?"

Cai Xiaotang opened her eyes instantly.

Li Xiao didn't keep her in suspense; seeing her staring at him, he continued: "Beijue is preparing to propose and wants to ask for your help."

"Propose?"

Cai Xiaotang sprang up from the lounge chair instantly, her face full of surprise.

"What? Don't want to help?"

Seeing her expression struggle for a moment, Li Xiao asked.

Cai Xiaotang frowned slightly, looking as if she were thinking about something.

That guy Li Beijue actually can't wait to propose now...

However, his temper has indeed changed a lot during this period.

And some time ago, he even stepped in to help Baobao deal with those two pieces of human trash from the Lu Family...

Helping him out isn't impossible...

Just as Cai Xiaotang was thinking this, she heard Li Xiao suddenly say: "I think their relationship has reached the point where success is certain. No matter what the proposal scene looks like, Jiang Baobao shouldn't refuse. If you don't help with this, then... I'm afraid you'll miss the proposal scene of your best friend..."

"When did I say I wouldn't help?"

Upon hearing this, Cai Xiaotang gave him a sharp look.

Li Xiao didn't expect her to agree so readily and was somewhat surprised.

He then hurriedly added: "Good, then I'll ask Beijue how he wants to prepare, and we'll go together."

"It's someone else's proposal, why are you joining in the fun? He didn't ask you for help."

Cai Xiaotang had developed a habit and retorted subconsciously.

Li Xiao also retorted without a second thought: "Of course it's to learn a thing or two. In case the two of us turn our fake act into reality one day, I wouldn't mind making up a proposal for you."

"I... what nonsense are you spouting!"

Cai Xiaotang's heartbeat skipped a beat, and she immediately retorted crossly: "Who wants to turn a fake act into reality with you! Shameless! I'm not marrying you!"

Her tone carried a hint of coquettishness she hadn't even noticed herself; after speaking, she turned and ran like the wind, leaving only her back behind.

Li Xiao watched her run away with amusement, and thinking of his own words just now, his mood suddenly felt somewhat subtle.

Why did he... say that directly without thinking just now?

"Turn... fake act... into reality..."

Li Xiao murmured these four words to himself, and thinking of Cai Xiaotang's momentary panic, his expression suddenly changed slightly.

He had been too lax lately.

Perhaps it was because that woman was just too much fun?

However... in the future, he should be more careful with such thoughtless jokes...

One week later—

Jiang Chenghao's body had completely recovered.

Except for his body, which had become somewhat thin due to years of being in a daze, his spirit had recovered almost entirely.

Jiang Baobao had originally intended for him to rest at home for a longer period.

But she didn't expect that Jiang Chenghao would actually suggest wanting her to accompany him abroad to clear his mind.

Jiang Baobao was worried about him going out alone, so she naturally agreed immediately.

The two of them packed simply and chose a weekend to set off.

"Mommy, when you get there, you must bring us back something delicious!"

At the airport entrance, Tiantian instructed solemnly.

"Don't worry, Mommy will definitely not forget!"

Jiang Baobao kissed the little girl's cheek with amusement, and after instructing Yanbao and Mobai for a long time, she finally looked at Li Beijue, who was standing to the side.

Li Beijue stepped forward and gave her a light hug.

"Have a happy trip, and remember to call me when you arrive."

His gentle voice fell upon her ear, and he added at the end, "I will miss you."

Jiang Baobao saw out of the corner of her eye that the three little ones and Jiang Chenghao were all looking at her, and she couldn't help but blush a little: "I know."

She replied in a low voice, only then putting some distance between the two of them.

Not letting the others see them off any further, Jiang Chenghao and Jiang Baobao walked into the airport together.

The three little ones watched their figures disappear, then instantly turned their heads to look at Li Beijue with excited faces.

"Daddy! Can we set off now!"

Yanbao's entire face was written with impatience.

Tiantian also asked loudly: "Daddy! Was I super smart just now! Mommy must think I'm still at home waiting for her to bring me treats, she definitely won't suspect a thing!"

"Yes, our Tiantian is the smartest!"

Li Beijue praised the little girl dotingly and kissed her little face.

Mobai hurriedly urged from the side: "Daddy! Let's go quickly, we have to get there before Mommy does!"

"Don't worry, Mommy's plane won't take off for another hour, and she has a layover in between; by that time we should have already set off, and we will definitely arrive before her."

Li Beijue signaled to Mobai not to worry, and while speaking, he took the three little ones into the car and drove rapidly toward the Li Corporation.

The private jet had already been waiting there.

……

On the other side—

On the vast ocean, a speedboat was speeding across the surface of the sea.

Cai Xiaotang was wearing a life jacket and leaning against the side of the boat, while beside her were all kinds of flowers, balloons, and other items used for decoration, and there was even a cage of snow-white pigeons!

These things should be just about enough!

Once we arrive in a moment, I'll hurry up and start decorating!

Cai Xiaotang thought to herself while looking at the pile of items beside her with satisfaction, still immersed in the surprise of seeing the proposal venue yesterday.

She never would have imagined that just to attend a proposal, they would actually go abroad a day early!

However...

It could be considered that Beijue put in the effort.

This will definitely be Baobao's most unforgettable day!
