Chapter 560: Mommy Wants You to Be Happy

Li Beijue felt both innocent and helpless, so he had no choice but to obediently stop "harassing" Jiang Baobao and took the pudding with her to give to the three little ones.

Jiang Baobao sat on the sofa, but her gaze subconsciously watched Yanbao, who seemed to be watching TV intently.

She definitely hadn't seen wrong just now... it was indeed Yanbao...

But... didn't he usually only wait for her outside the kitchen?

She didn't know if he had heard the things Li Beijue said to her just now...

This child's mind was so delicate; if he really had heard it, it wouldn't be good if he started overthinking...

Jiang Baobao sighed in her heart, looking at Yanbao, who was like a little adult, and only felt her heart ache.

At night, Jiang Baobao took the three little ones back to their room as usual.

Having lived together for several days in a row, Tiantian finally couldn't help but ask: "Mommy, why have you been living with us every day lately? Daddy is all by himself!"

The little girl didn't understand the matter of Yanbao being sick; she just felt that her brother Yan had been speaking very little lately and always looked very serious.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Baobao hurriedly asked in return: "Mommy is staying with you, are you not happy?"

"Of course I'm happy!" the little girl answered without hesitation, then couldn't help but worry on Li Beijue's behalf: "But won't Daddy feel very bored living alone?"

"He won't, don't worry." Jiang Baobao smiled and kissed Tiantian, then tucked her into bed.

Yanbao, who was to the side, suddenly thought of something, and his already somewhat serious little expression suddenly became even more solemn than before.

Soon, the three little ones were all lying obediently in bed.

Jiang Baobao was just about to get into bed when she heard Yanbao say: "Mommy, I want to drink some milk."

"Alright, Mommy will go downstairs and heat some up for you." Jiang Baobao agreed and was about to turn and leave the room immediately.

However, out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly saw Yanbao also jump down from the bed.

"I'll go with Mommy." As Yanbao said this, he grabbed Jiang Baobao's hand.

Jiang Baobao knew he couldn't bear to be away from her, so she let Mobai and Tiantian wait obediently and went downstairs holding Yanbao's hand.

The living room was completely quiet.

Li Beijue was still in the study upstairs handling work.

Zheng Bo's injuries had not yet healed, so he had gone to rest early along with the rest of the servants.

Jiang Baobao took the little one into the kitchen and found the milk in the refrigerator.

Just as she took it out, she heard Yanbao suddenly say in a low voice: "Mommy, is it because I'm sick that it's affecting Daddy and Mommy living together?"

Jiang Baobao was stunned upon hearing this, and her heart ached instantly.

The things said during the day had indeed been heard by this little one...

She hurriedly turned around, picked Yanbao up, and kissed his little cheek.

"How could that be? Yanbao isn't sick at all; Yanbao just likes Mommy too much. Besides, Daddy and Mommy are just not living together for these few days, it won't affect anything."

Fearing he would overthink, Jiang Baobao hurriedly comforted him.

Yanbao shook his head upon hearing this.

"Mommy, I know, I am just sick."

The little one's tone was firm, not at all like a child.

Jiang Baobao was stunned by his words, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

Immediately after, she felt Yanbao's little hands wrap around her neck as he leaned in gently.

"Mommy, I don't know when I started getting sick either, but... I remember that every time I'm sick, I really miss Mommy...

That day... the bad person took me away, and I thought I would never see Mommy again... I was so scared... and so sad... so... I got sick again..."

The little one spoke in fits and starts, exactly as Li Beijue had guessed that day.

Jiang Baobao's heart tightened, and she could only gently pat the little one's back, comforting him incessantly: "Yanbao, Mommy promises you, I will never leave you, I will never let you be unable to find Mommy, and I will never let you encounter any danger again. So you don't need to be afraid, you can completely trust Mommy and Daddy, okay?"

She made a solemn promise to the little one in her arms.

She then felt him burrow further into her arms and ask in a muffled voice: "Mommy... then... do you like the old me, or the current me?"

Jiang Baobao was amused by his question, but also felt even more heartache, and answered without hesitation: "Baby, there is only one of you in this world. No matter what you are like, Mommy will love you. It's just... with you being so burdened with worries now, besides Mommy, Daddy, Mobai, and Tiantian are all very worried about you. Mommy wants you to be happy..."

"Mommy... wants me to be happy?"

Yanbao raised his head and looked at Jiang Baobao earnestly.

Jiang Baobao took the opportunity to kiss his little cheek: "Of course, Mommy wants you to be happy every day, without any worries..."

"I know."

Yanbao nodded seriously, and as if making a promise to Jiang Baobao, he said solemnly: "I promise Mommy, I will be happy every day from now on."

"Alright! If you're happy, Mommy is happy too! Let's go, let's go heat up the milk!"

Jiang Baobao knew he had taken her words to heart, and she felt a slight sense of relief.

She quickly heated up three cups of milk and carried them back to the room.

After the three little ones finished drinking, they all lay down obediently to sleep.

But in the middle of the night—Jiang Baobao was suddenly jolted awake by the scorching temperature beside her!

Before she had even fully opened her eyes, she instinctively reached out to touch Yanbao's forehead.

Her hand was met with a searing heat!

Jiang Baobao instantly became fully awake, hurriedly turned over to turn on the light, and saw that Yanbao's little face had been burned red at some point, and his whole body was scorching hot!

"Yanbao? Yanbao? Wake up, Yanbao?"

Jiang Baobao called out to the little one a few times, and seeing that he didn't respond, she hurriedly rolled out of bed and rushed toward her bedroom.

"Li Beijue! Yanbao has a fever!"

Her tone was somewhat panicked, instantly waking Li Beijue from his sleep.

The two of them quickly returned to Yanbao's room; one called the Doctor, while the other woke up the other two little ones and sent them back to their respective rooms.

Yanbao, however, remained in a deep sleep from his high fever, showing no signs of waking up at all.

"Li Beijue... what should we do? How could Yanbao suddenly develop a fever..."

Jiang Baobao had taken Yanbao's temperature and fed him emergency fever-reducing medicine, and now she held his burning little hand, waiting anxiously for the Doctor.

Li Beijue was equally frantic, yet he still forced himself to stay calm and comforted her: "It's alright, it should just be a cold; I'll go urge them again."

Li Beijue took out his phone and made another call to the Doctor.

Not long after, the Doctor hurried through the door, carefully examined Yanbao, and then his expression became somewhat strange.

"Mr. Li, the young master doesn't seem to have caught a fever from a cold, and since he took the fever-reducing medicine, the temperature has only dropped a little... Did he eat anything strange today?"

The Doctor asked, puzzled.

Jiang Baobao's heart instantly jumped into her throat: "It was all normal food! Exactly the same as usual! Then... Doctor, what do you mean?"
