Chapter 51: The Unspeakable Truth

Upon hearing this, Jiang Baobao's eyes lit up instantly, her expression filled with surprise.

"That's right! How could Mommy have forgotten about you! Quickly send Yanbao a message and ask him if he's alright?"

Jiang Baobao had long wanted to contact him, but she was afraid that Li Beijue would discover it and bring trouble to that little fellow, so she had held back until now.

Mobai immediately took out his watch phone and quickly sent a message to Yanbao.

【Yanbao, how are things on your end? You didn't get scolded after you went back, did you?】

Once the message was sent, Yanbao received it immediately on his end.

He quickly lowered his head to glance at the phone, and seeing that it was a message from Mobai, he hurriedly said to Li Beijue, "Daddy, I want to go to the restroom..."

Li Beijue did not miss the little fellow's actions just now.

His gaze flickered for a moment, and he nodded calmly, saying, "Go ahead. When you come out, Daddy will take you upstairs to go ice skating."

"Okay." Yanbao agreed obediently and ran quickly into the restroom.

He found a stall, locked the door, and then hurriedly and quickly checked the message Mobai had just sent.

After scanning it just once, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

【I'm fine, Daddy is taking me to play in the big game arcade next to Xingyue Plaza right now! Don't worry!】

Yanbao quickly replied to the message, and fearing that Li Beijue would wait too long, he hurriedly ran out.

The two of them went upstairs together, and Yanbao's little expression instantly turned somewhat surprised.

He saw that the entire floor above was a frozen ice rink, and there were quite a few children inside having a good time.

"Daddy, how long can I play inside?"

It had been too long since Yanbao had been to a place like this, and his eyes shimmered with excitement.

Li Beijue smiled, reached out to take his little backpack, and said in a low voice, "You can play as long as you like, but if you feel it's too cold, come out. Daddy will be waiting for you outside."

"Mm-hmm!" Yanbao agreed excitedly, and as he spoke, he went to change his shoes.

Just as he turned around, he heard Li Beijue suddenly say, "Yanbao, wait a moment."

Yanbao stopped his footsteps, feeling somewhat puzzled.

Li Beijue's gaze swept over his wrist without a trace, and he deliberately pretended to speak casually: "Take off your watch; be careful not to bump your wrist if you fall."

"I..."

Yanbao looked at the watch with some worry, and just as he was about to refuse, he heard Li Beijue urge him, "Be obedient."

The little fellow paused slightly and had no choice but to take the watch off.

He would only be playing for a little while anyway...

Mobai hadn't replied just now; he must have gone to be busy with other things, right?

Besides, Daddy didn't know the password to his watch...

Yanbao weighed it in his heart and obediently placed the watch in Li Beijue's hand.

"Go play, Daddy will wait for you here." Li Beijue smiled and put the little gadget in his pocket.

Yanbao turned around obediently and, led by a clerk, went to find a suitable pair of shoes.

Watching Yanbao's figure walk away, Li Beijue immediately took the watch back out, his eyes carrying a hint of scrutiny.

He couldn't have been mistaken just now; someone definitely sent Yanbao a message.

It must be that woman, Jiang Baobao!

She was still secretly contacting Yanbao!

As Li Beijue was thinking this, he suddenly saw the screen of the phone in his hand light up.

A message was clearly displayed before his eyes.

【Went to the game arcade? That's too great! I want to go too!】

Li Beijue's brow twitched, and he couldn't help but feel a strange sensation rise in his heart.

Is this the tone Jiang Baobao usually uses when talking to Yanbao?

She actually even wanted to come over to find Yanbao?

A hint of ferocity flashed abruptly in Li Beijue's eyes, and he scrolled up to look again.

He took in the entire conversation between the two of them just now.

A touch of coldness appeared on his face.

Hmph.

Jiang Baobao, just try it if you dare to come!

On the other side, once Jiang Baobao learned that Li Beijue had taken Yanbao out to play, she immediately couldn't sit still.

"Mommy, do you want to go find Yanbao?" Mobai saw through Jiang Baobao's thoughts at a glance.

Jiang Baobao nodded with some hesitation: "Mommy is indeed a bit worried and wants to go see him, but..."

"But what?"

Mobai asked curiously.

Jiang Baobao's expression was very conflicted: "Mommy doesn't know if she should go..."

"Of course you should go! Yanbao must miss Mommy a lot too! Even if Mommy only says a few words to him, he will be very happy!"

Knowing how much Yanbao liked Jiang Baobao, Mobai spoke up loudly to encourage her.

Jiang Baobao wavered for a moment.

She also really wanted to see Yanbao.

It was hard to get an opportunity like this; if she didn't go, she didn't know when the next time would be!

Seeing her silent, Mobai continued to encourage her: "Mommy! Didn't you teach me that if it's the right thing to do, I shouldn't hesitate? Going to see Yanbao isn't a wrong thing!"

Jiang Baobao was stunned, suddenly awakened by this point.

Mobai was right!

Yanbao was her own child!

What was wrong with wanting to see him!

Jiang Baobao made a decision in an instant: "Alright, then Mommy will set off right now!"

Mobai also sprang up from the sofa at once: "Yay! Then let's go together! It just so happens I haven't been to the arcade in a long time either!"

As soon as he heard Yanbao was at the arcade, he couldn't sit still anymore, his heart itching to go out and play.

Jiang Baobao's expression, however, suddenly became somewhat troubled.

"Baby... Mommy is afraid she cannot take you with her."

Li Beijue was still there; how could she let Mobai take the risk!

Little Mobai was also taken aback for a moment, realized what was happening instantly, and plopped down onto the sofa with little interest.

"Right... how could I forget there's a hateful daddy there; I can't let him discover me!"

Hearing this, Jiang Baobao was caught between laughter and tears, reached out to rub her little head, and comforted her: "Then you be good and wait for Mommy at home; when there's another chance, Mommy will take you and Yanbao to play together."

"Alright then... that's all we can do for now." Mobai hung her little head, looking somewhat listless.

Seeing this, Jiang Baobao hurriedly comforted her: "Alright, how about Mommy brings you a little cake when she gets back?"

"Okay!!!" Little Mobai instantly regained some spirit upon hearing about something delicious.

After saying a few more words, Jiang Baobao finally left the Base.

Not long after, she took a taxi and arrived at the arcade Yanbao had mentioned earlier.

Jiang Baobao pushed the door open and walked in, immediately frowning at the deafening music inside.

What kind of mood was Li Beijue in?

How could he suddenly want to bring Yanbao to a place like this?

Jiang Baobao felt somewhat helpless, scanned the area with her eyes, and walked cautiously into the arcade.

She would just take a few looks from afar...

As long as she could see him, she would be satisfied...

Besides, that little fellow was so smart, perhaps he could even avoid Li Beijue and speak a few words with her!

Jiang Baobao's vision was very beautiful.

But after searching a large circle, she did not see the figures of the two of them, and felt somewhat dejected.

Could it be that the two of them had already left?

She had clearly rushed over as soon as she received the news!

Jiang Baobao was unwilling to leave just like that, so she circled the downstairs area again, but still did not see the figures of the two of them.

She wanted to contact Yanbao, but hesitated.

Jiang Baobao stood at the entrance of the arcade, not knowing for a moment whether she should go in.

Just at this moment—
