Chapter 521: He Wants to Make a High-Profile Announcement
Late at night—
After coaxing the three little ones to sleep, Jiang Baobao finally returned to her room to rest.
But just as she stepped through the door, she was immediately pulled into a full embrace by someone who had been waiting there for a long time.
"Ah!"
Jiang Baobao was startled by him, and by the time she came to her senses, she had already been placed on the bed.
"What are you doing..."
She looked blankly at the person in front of her; even though the two of them had already shared the most intimate of relations, she still couldn't help but feel her cheeks burning and her heart racing.
Li Beijue leaned in and planted a kiss on her lips, then said with some dissatisfaction: "I think it's time to let them learn to sleep by themselves every day. They aren't little children anymore; how can they need Mommy to coax them to sleep every single day?"
Hearing this, Jiang Baobao looked at him with amusement: "How are they not little children? The three of them combined aren't even as old as you! Why are you so narrow-minded? You're even jealous of little kids?"
As she spoke, she pinched Li Beijue's nose playfully, though she felt sweet inside.
Li Beijue let her pinch him and replied in a deliberately strange tone: "I am indeed jealous of even little kids. If they weren't my children, I'm afraid I would have carried you away directly! I was even thinking just now whether I should wait until they come of age, buy them a villa, and let them move out to live alone, just to toughen them up!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, kicking them out as soon as they come of age! Are they even your own flesh and blood!"
Jiang Baobao teased him with a laugh, but then she suddenly thought of something, and her expression turned somewhat melancholy.
"Sigh..."
She suddenly let out a sigh.
Li Beijue guessed what she was thinking immediately.
"Still worried about your uncle's situation?"
Jiang Baobao nodded, her expression somewhat helpless.
"I originally wanted to keep him here for a while longer. I just feel... there are only a few months left until the New Year, even if he went back after the New Year, that would be fine..."
"When the New Year comes, you can invite him over again, but you should know that living here will only constrain him. No matter what you do, he will always feel like an outsider, and as a man, he probably doesn't want to keep living under someone else's roof."
Li Beijue held her and explained it to her.
Jiang Baobao responded thoughtfully, though she still felt somewhat uneasy in her heart.
Just as she was thinking, she suddenly felt the man beside her move closer.
Li Beijue leaned in, kissed her forehead lightly, and said with some dissatisfaction again: "Instead of having time to worry about others, you should care more about our own affairs..."
"Ours? Is there anything else for us to deal with?"
Jiang Baobao looked at him, puzzled.
"Of course there is."
Li Beijue raised an eyebrow, his expression suddenly becoming serious: "Didn't I say before that I wanted to make your identity public to the outside world? Which way do you prefer? Should I have Chen Xi hold a formal press conference, or just release a statement online... or perhaps... I could propose to you again, and then invite everyone over?"
Jiang Baobao: "..."
Hadn't he already proposed?
There was no need to do it again just to make her identity public!
She blinked her eyes, and seeing that the person in front of her didn't seem to be joking, she hurriedly stopped him: "I don't think we need to be so high-profile. A press conference or something is too formal... It's better to be more casual. Actually... it's fine if not everyone knows; I still prefer to keep a low profile..."
"How can that be?"
As soon as Li Beijue heard the words "low profile," he immediately held the person in his arms even tighter.
"When have I ever been low-profile in doing things? To prevent you from being snatched away by others, of course, I have to be high-profile. It would be best if the whole world knew that you are my woman."
Jiang Baobao felt a wave of tenderness in her heart and shook the ring on her finger at him: "I've already accepted your ring, how could I possibly be snatched away by someone else?"
"Even being coveted by others is not allowed."
Li Beijue answered without hesitation, and after speaking, he immediately kissed Jiang Baobao on the lips again.
During this period, he seemed to have become addicted to doing this.
As long as she was in his arms, he couldn't help but want to kiss her and touch her, never getting enough.
"Then do as you please. I don't really mind, as long as you're happy."
Jiang Baobao learned his way and kissed him back, but just as they touched, she was immediately flipped over and pinned to the bed!
"Hey! It's already very late today!"
Realizing what someone was about to do, Jiang Baobao hurriedly grabbed a pillow to block her chest.
The next second, it was easily snatched away.
Li Beijue lowered his head and planted another kiss, then pressed against her lips and asked: "Didn't you just say... as long as I'm happy..."
Jiang Baobao looked at him with amusement: "That's not what I meant by that... Mmph..."
Her lips were blocked again, covered by a burning heat.
The air in the room seemed to ignite in an instant.
As for which matter she had been talking about...
It was no longer important.
On the other side—
Liu Xin'ai barely slept all night, and it wasn't until morning that she finally drifted into a light sleep.
After sleeping for only a few more hours, she climbed out of bed, ate lunch, and went straight to the Hospital.
In the ward—
Liu Tengnian was leaning against the bedside.
Standing beside him was a man who looked like a subordinate, reporting something in a low voice.
"Mr. Liu, Jiang Chenghao has indeed recovered. He even met with the eldest young lady a while ago, but... the two of them didn't do anything; they just had a simple meal, and then Young Master Qin appeared and took the eldest young lady away."
"Are you sure he has fully recovered?"
Liu Tengnian frowned slightly.
The man nodded: "Yes, he has fully recovered, and he even attended a banquet last night. Young Master Qin and the eldest young lady were also present, but they did not interact at all and left early."
Liu Tengnian did not speak, pondered for a while longer, and then waved his hand: "There is nothing left for you to do here; go attend to your business."
"Yes."
The man replied, turned, and left.
Liu Tengnian sat alone on the bed in deep thought, his expression somewhat indecipherable.
Jiang Chenghao had actually recovered at this time, then Xin'ai...
Several years ago, he had not been optimistic about their love.
Although the strength of the Jiang Family was not bad, in every aspect, it naturally could not compare to the Liu Family.
Yet he had not done much to stop them.
But now, the Liu Family had already concluded a marriage contract with the Qin Family.
Moreover, the Jiang Family's momentum was far inferior to before, and with only Jiang Chenghao supporting it alone, it was even more impossible for him to let his daughter go over there to suffer.
As long as Xin'ai does not do anything foolish...
Half an hour later—
Liu Xin'ai arrived at the door of the hospital room.
Just as she pushed the door open and entered, she saw Liu Tengnian with his head lowered, looking at a document.
"Dad, why aren't you resting properly? Didn't I say to let your assistant handle these things for now..."
Liu Xin'ai hurried forward, sat by the bedside, her expression showing some distress.
