Chapter 621: Throwing Him a Birthday Party

The two of them hit it off immediately and quickly began to discuss it.

Jiang Baobao took the lead in suggesting: "I think if you want to pursue someone, you first need to understand their preferences. Do you know what he usually likes?"

Cai Xiaotang blinked, momentarily stumped by Jiang Baobao's question.

She pondered for a moment, then said with some hesitation: "I'm not too sure... It seems Li Xiao has never revealed his preferences before. It's possible... he doesn't have any preferences at all?"

The conversation had only just begun, and it was already at a stalemate.

"Look, given his status, he definitely wouldn't be interested in men's accessories, and I've never seen him have any other collecting habits. I can't exactly give him a gun, can I?"

Cai Xiaotang pondered for a long time, shaking her head as she spoke.

Jiang Baobao was also troubled and suggested again: "Then... what about going on a date? You could create more opportunities to be alone with him; that way, you might just get the upper hand!"

Cai Xiaotang shook her head again: "Do you think there's anything closer than living together? We're under the same roof every day, clashing and sparking like crazy, but no sparks have flown... and that guy has become even more of a 'straight man' lately!"

Jiang Baobao deflated as well: "That's true... You two are already married, so you're already in the best position..."

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.

Jiang Baobao suggested again: "Then how about a little romance and a little surprise every now and then?"

"He'd definitely think I was crazy!"

Cai Xiaotang gritted her teeth instantly: "If I cook him a meal, he suspects I have a fever, let alone doing anything else..."

Jiang Baobao was speechless, never expecting that the seemingly "unrestrained" Li Xiao would be so hard to conquer!

The two of them on the bed looked at each other, and for a moment, neither had any good ideas.

After a long while, they couldn't help but both sigh.

"If that's the case, it's just too hard to pursue him..."

Jiang Baobao tapped her head, truly unable to think of any good ideas.

Cai Xiaotang also fell silent.

After a long time, Jiang Baobao finally said helplessly: "It looks like we can only wait until Christmas to see if there's a chance, if..."

"I've got an idea!"

Cai Xiaotang suddenly interrupted her, looking at Jiang Baobao with surprise.

"What idea?"

Jiang Baobao asked hurriedly.

"A birthday! I remember Li Laoyezi mentioning to me once while chatting that Li Xiao was born in winter! It should be within these last two months. If we're lucky, maybe his birthday hasn't passed yet!"

Cai Xiaotang was as excited as if she had discovered a new continent.

Hearing this, Jiang Baobao also became excited and said hurriedly: "Let's go ask Li Beijue! He must know which day Li Xiao's birthday is!

Then you can prepare a birthday surprise for him!"

As they spoke, the two immediately rolled off the bed and rushed toward the master bedroom.

In the bedroom, Li Beijue had just finished changing into his suit when he heard a rush of footsteps in the hallway.

Thinking it was the three little ones looking for him, he pulled the door open.

He didn't expect to see Jiang Baobao still in her pajamas and an excited-looking Cai Xiaotang.

"Li Beijue! I have a question for you!"

Cai Xiaotang got straight to the point as soon as she arrived.

Li Beijue was unnerved by her shining eyes and hurriedly asked in return: "What is it?"

Cai Xiaotang then continued: "I want to know what day Li Xiao's birthday is!?"

"His birthday?"

Li Beijue frowned slightly, not answering immediately, and began to think carefully in his mind.

He then took out his phone to check the time and replied: "If I remember correctly, it should be the day after tomorrow."

"The day after tomorrow? So soon?"

Cai Xiaotang was full of surprise, followed by irrepressible joy.

They actually made it in time!

Although time was tight, at least they didn't have to wait until next year!

Cai Xiaotang excitedly grabbed Jiang Baobao's hand, and Jiang Baobao's expression was also quite happy.

Li Beijue finally reacted and hurriedly reminded them: "You want to throw him a birthday party?"

"Yeah."

Cai Xiaotang nodded as if it were a matter of course.

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw that Li Beijue's expression seemed somewhat disapproving.

"As far as I know, Li Xiao hasn't had the habit of celebrating his birthday for several years now."

"Why?"

Jiang Baobao asked, puzzled.

Li Beijue shook his head: "I'm not sure either. He doesn't want to celebrate, so naturally, no one would force him."

Jiang Baobao and Cai Xiaotang looked at each other, both confused.

Cai Xiaotang pondered for a moment, but still affirmed: "Then I'll just throw him a birthday party this year! I'll make sure he's happy!"

Jiang Baobao also said to Li Beijue: "We'll need your help with this!"

"Me?"

Li Beijue raised an eyebrow.

Jiang Baobao smiled slyly, determined to drag him into it: "Of course we need your help. We plan to decorate the house, and we'll be counting on you to bring Li Xiao over! You're not allowed to refuse!"

Li Beijue naturally wouldn't refuse such a simple request and agreed without a second word.

"Then we'll go discuss it some more! I won't talk to you for now!"

Seeing him agree, Cai Xiaotang immediately pulled Jiang Baobao back to her own room.

Listening to the two of them chatting and laughing, not knowing what they were whispering and plotting, Li Beijue couldn't help but shake his head with a smile, feeling much more at ease at the same time.

It seemed that having Cai Xiaotang come over to keep Baobao company was indeed the right decision.

Her mood had certainly relaxed a lot...

Two days later.

Li Xiao received a phone call from Li Beijue.

"You want me to come over for dinner tonight?"

Li Xiao was a bit suspicious that he might have misheard something.

Li Beijue, however, spoke in all seriousness: "Cai Xiaotang has already been here for two days; since you haven't asked or cared at all, Baobao suspects that you two might have had a fight, so you had better come over."

"Does it have to be today?"

Li Xiao's tone was somewhat hesitant.

"Yes, Baobao has already prepared the ingredients, and Cai Xiaotang is also waiting for you to come."

Li Beijue's tone was beyond doubt, yet he wasn't sure if Li Xiao would actually agree.

There was silence on the other end of the line for a moment.

After a long while, Li Xiao finally agreed: "Alright then, I will come over tonight."

"Mm."

Li Beijue hung up the phone, intending to go downstairs to "report the battle situation."

In the kitchen—Cai Xiaotang was already busy preparing things in full swing.

"Baobao, why don't you taste this cake and see how it is?"

Cai Xiaotang handed the leftover scraps to Jiang Baobao's mouth.

Although her culinary skills were passable, they were still a bit inferior compared to Jiang Baobao's.

Jiang Baobao tasted it and immediately gave a thumbs up without any hesitation.

"The taste is just right! It's not too sweet, now all that's left is to prepare the cream!"

In front of the two of them sat a freshly baked cake; Cai Xiaotang picked up the piping bag, her face full of eagerness to try.

This was her first time making a cake, after all...

If that certain someone dared to say they disliked it, they would be dead!
