Chapter 578: When Are You Having Kids?

~7 min read 1,300 words

Jiang Baobao was staring blankly at the villa in front of her when she suddenly heard her phone ring.

Seeing that the call was from the Li Family Old Residence, she hurriedly answered it.

As soon as it connected, she heard Li Laoyezi's booming voice on the other end: "Jiang girl, do you have time today to bring those three little ones back? Xiao Tang and Li Xiao will be coming back too, let's all have a happy dinner together!"

"Sure, I'll bring the three of them over to see you in a while. Is there anything you'd like to eat? I can buy the groceries and bring them over."

Jiang Baobao agreed immediately.

Li Laoyezi was all smiles: "No need to buy groceries, we have everything at home. Just tell Beijue to come straight over after he gets off work!"

"Okay, I'll call him in a bit."

Jiang Baobao chatted with Li Laoyezi for a moment, then called Li Beijue to let him know, and hurriedly went home to pick up the three little ones.

As soon as they heard they were going to Great-Grandpa's place, the three little ones gave their full approval, packed up quickly, and set off in Jiang Baobao's car.

Two hours later, the group stepped through the gates of the Old Residence.

Cai Xiaotang and Li Xiao had already arrived and were in the living room keeping Li Laoyezi company.

"Great-Grandpa!!!"

The three little ones ran straight toward the sofa.

Li Laoyezi was taken aback for a moment, then beamed with joy as he was swarmed by the three little ones.

Jiang Baobao also took the opportunity to sit next to Cai Xiaotang and exchanged a look with her.

"Grandpa, what made you suddenly decide to call us over today?"

Jiang Baobao asked casually.

Li Laoyezi paused slightly, his gaze sweeping calmly over Cai Xiaotang and Li Xiao, before he answered with a chuckle: "I just missed you all, and I thought about how close you and Xiao Tang are, so I decided to call you both over together."

"That's right! Mommy and Godmother are very close!" Mobai chimed in loudly to join the fun.

As soon as the words left his mouth, Li Laoyezi couldn't help but frown.

"Mobai, you call Xiao Tang... Godmother?"

Once this was said, Jiang Baobao and Cai Xiaotang also suddenly realized something, and their expressions became quite interesting.

Cai Xiaotang was now Li Xiao's wife.

Therefore, in terms of seniority, she was already Jiang Baobao's "Third Aunt," and even more so, the great-aunt of the three little ones.

But...

Jiang Baobao looked at Cai Xiaotang with a conflicted expression, not knowing how to change the form of address for a moment.

Mobai and Tiantian had recognized Xiao Tang as their godmother since they were born!

To change it now—not to mention whether the three little ones would get used to it, she and Xiao Tang certainly wouldn't be!

The atmosphere went quiet for a moment.

Cai Xiaotang looked at the three little ones, who were also looking dumbfounded, and suppressed a laugh as she replied: "Dad, Baobao and I have always been good sisters, and we never thought before that we would end up in this kind of relationship... so..."

"So let's not dwell on it too much; just call each other whatever you like."

Li Xiao took over the conversation, fearing that Li Laoyezi might have some objections to this and would reprimand Cai Xiaotang.

Li Laoyezi, however, didn't take it to heart. Seeing that none of them cared, he waved his hand with a smile: "That's true, you two have always been close, why dwell on it so much? Call each other whatever you like. Besides, it was the three little ones who recognized her as godmother first."

Hearing this, Cai Xiaotang and Jiang Baobao finally relaxed and smiled.

The living room was filled with a peaceful atmosphere; as soon as Li Beijue walked in, he heard a burst of laughter.

"Daddy's back!"

Yanbao was the first to see Li Beijue; he hurriedly jumped off the sofa and walked toward him.

Li Laoyezi also hurriedly greeted him: "You're finally back. Everyone is waiting for you to eat. Let's go, let's sit at the dining table!"

The group took their seats at the dining table, which was already filled with prepared dishes.

Jiang Baobao sat between the three little ones as usual, responsible for watching them eat.

Li Beijue, meanwhile, was "taking care" of Jiang Baobao's meal.

Seeing how affectionate they were, Li Laoyezi felt very gratified and immediately gave a look to the butler standing to the side.

The butler understood immediately, took two small bowls, ladled out two bowls of soup, and placed them in front of Li Xiao and Cai Xiaotang.

Li Laoyezi nodded with satisfaction, then pretended to be casual as he said: "Li Xiao, look at Beijue, the three children are already so big. You and Xiao Tang... when do you plan on letting me hold a grandchild?"

"Pfft... cough, cough, cough!"

Cai Xiaotang hadn't even swallowed her mouthful of soup before she choked on Li Laoyezi's words, coughing frantically.

Seeing this, Li Xiao hurriedly got her some water and couldn't help but laugh: "Dad, we've only been married for a few months, aren't you being a bit too anxious?"

"How can I not be anxious? I should be asking you—Beijue has already gotten ahead of you, why are you not anxious at all?"

Li Laoyezi asked calmly.

Cai Xiaotang finally caught her breath, but her cheeks were flushed red; she didn't know how a perfectly normal conversation had veered into this.

Then, she felt two "spectator" gazes land on her.

She looked up abruptly and, sure enough, saw Jiang Baobao sitting across from her, watching her with a smile.

Cai Xiaotang immediately glared back in annoyance.

Still looking!

She really felt like someone was itching for a beating!

She wasn't as capable as her, able to give birth to three children at once!

No!

She didn't want to give birth at all!

How could a fake marriage produce children?

Cai Xiaotang silently lowered her head and continued drinking her soup.

Yet, Li Beijue, who had been "watching the show" from the side, also spoke up: "Little Uncle, Grandfather is right. You married so late, you really should consider having children sooner."

Have them, have what!

If he likes children so much, why doesn't he have another one with Baobao!

Cai Xiaotang was frantically complaining in her heart.

Yet, she suddenly felt that the soup in her hand tasted quite good.

Li Xiao, being "attacked from both sides," swept a somewhat amused glance at the person in front of him who was only focused on drinking soup, and continued to deflect: "Having a child is not such a simple matter; this will take time, and I will arrange it in my plans."

The hand Cai Xiaotang was using to hold her spoon suddenly stiffened.

Plans?

What plans?

That bastard Li Xiao better not go around promising anything!

Thinking this, Cai Xiaotang saw that the bowl of soup in her hand had reached the bottom, so she took the opportunity to serve herself another bowl.

Seeing that she liked it, the old man hurriedly said with a smile: "If Xiao Tang loves it, drink more; I had people specially stew this."

"Okay, thank you, Dad."

Cai Xiaotang nodded and continued to lower her head to drink the soup, avoiding conversation as much as possible.

Li Xiao, however, felt somewhat helpless and really wanted to snatch the bowl out of her hands.

She's actually being a glutton at a time like this!

Does she even know what kind of soup this is before daring to drink it recklessly!

And drinking so much of it!
