Chapter 65: Inviting Jiang Baobao Back to Be Mommy

Evening—

Mobai returned home from kindergarten and saw Li Beijue already waiting for him in the living room.

Thinking of what happened during the day, the little guy deliberately snorted and lifted his foot to head upstairs.

Li Beijue's brow twitched, and he had no choice but to call out to him: "Yanbao, how was school today?"

"Everything was normal." Little Mobai answered quickly, tossed out those four words with cold detachment, and then dashed rapidly upstairs.

Li Beijue felt helpless, watching his back as he left, very much wanting to have a conversation.

But unfortunately, the other party simply wouldn't cooperate.

He waited until dinnertime, but didn't see the little guy come back downstairs.

Zheng Bo finished his work and came out; seeing Li Beijue sitting alone at the dining table, he couldn't help but step forward and ask: "Young Master, shall I go up and call the young master down..."

"No need." Li Beijue refused indifferently: "Take the dishes he likes up to him; don't prepare any for me."

Li Beijue had no mood to eat and tossed out the sentence casually.

Zheng Bo sighed helplessly and had no choice but to comply.

Upstairs—

Little Mobai was also wearing a miserable expression.

How could Daddy be so annoying!

He clearly promised him, yet today he said Mommy was someone else!

Little Mobai had been sulking all afternoon; thinking of the words Li Beijue said today made him feel upset.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard his stomach growl.

The little guy's face instantly turned bitter, and he rubbed his little belly.

It's all Daddy's fault!

He was so angry he didn't even eat much lunch!

But, the moment he thought about Daddy sitting downstairs right now, he became even angrier!

He didn't want to eat with him at all!

Mobai clenched his little fists, determined not to go down no matter what.

Not long after, he heard movement outside the door.

Is it Daddy?

Mobai subconsciously widened his eyes and saw the bedroom door being pushed open.

But the person walking in was Zheng Bo carrying a tray.

"Young master, it's time for dinner..."

As Zheng Bo spoke, he prepared to place the dishes on the table.

Mobai subconsciously smelled the fragrance in the air and couldn't help but swallow his saliva immediately.

Yet he deliberately said loudly: "I don't want to eat! Grandpa Zheng should just take it away!"

Hearing this, Zheng Bo sighed helplessly; thinking of Yanbao's recent mood swings, he didn't say anything more and left with the tray.

Downstairs, Li Beijue was still sitting by the dining table.

Seeing Zheng Bo come down with the tray, he didn't look very surprised.

"Young Master, the young master he..."

"I know. Keep the food warm; go ask him again later."

Li Beijue interrupted Zheng Bo and turned to leave.

Li Beijue returned to the study alone, but his mood could not settle.

He sat silently behind the desk, his deep eyes making it impossible to tell what he was thinking at that moment.

Is Yanbao really so set on Jiang Baobao?

Is there not even a sliver of a chance that she could be replaced?

Li Beijue pondered; long before he thought of this question, he already had the answer in his heart.

A flash of ruthlessness suddenly crossed his eyes, his heart filled with resentment.

Why?

Jiang Baobao abandoned Yanbao for so many years; why should she be able to obtain his forgiveness so easily?

She is not worthy of the word "Mommy"!

Li Beijue thought, sighing helplessly in his heart; thinking of how Yanbao had started being disobedient again, he felt a moment of helplessness.

Half an hour later—

A certain little guy finally couldn't bear his empty stomach any longer and cautiously slipped out of his room.

Mobai's big eyes darted around, looking upstairs and then downstairs, feeling a bit indecisive.

He didn't know if Daddy had returned to his room yet...

Or if he was still eating dinner in the dining room?

Mobai pondered for a moment, instantly had an idea, and turned around without hesitation.

There were two floors downstairs!

He should go up one floor to see if Daddy was there!

If he was in the study, he could go straight downstairs to find something to eat!

Mobai thought, deliberately lightening his footsteps, and arrived silently outside the study door.

He saw the study door was left ajar and immediately didn't dare to continue forward.

He listened carefully for a while, but there was no sound, and for a moment he couldn't be sure if Li Beijue was inside or not.

The little one's expression was somewhat conflicted.

Just as he didn't know whether to move forward or turn and leave, he suddenly heard voices coming from the crack in the door.

"Yanbao's condition has flared up again."

Li Beijue was concise and to the point, seemingly speaking to someone.

Mobai's eyes widened abruptly, and he subconsciously took two steps forward.

Who is Daddy talking to?

And they are talking about Yanbao!

The little one couldn't resist his curiosity and crept two more steps forward.

Through the crack in the door, he saw that Li Beijue was indeed standing by the window making a phone call.

Gu Ruohan had flown abroad again these past few days, and it was currently the middle of the night.

He looked annoyed at being disturbed, yet still asked with concern: "How could it flare up so quickly? Wasn't he already recovering before?"

Li Beijue was silent for a long while.

Only then did he say straightforwardly: "Yes, it flared up again in a very short time, and it's the same as before; his personality has changed drastically, and he is shouting at me."

"This..." Hearing this, Gu Ruohan felt a bit of a headache for a moment.

After pondering for a moment, he replied: "Logically speaking, he hasn't recovered for long, so this situation shouldn't happen. If these changes are too frequent, that is indeed a sign that the condition is serious. Right now it is only a change in personality; if you let it develop like this, I can't say what he will become."

"Then what should be done? Is psychological therapy not an option?" Li Beijue asked back helplessly.

Gu Ruohan shook his head: "It should be quite difficult now as well. You know how resistant Yanbao is to me when he is having an episode. If you want to conduct therapy, you have to find the source of the illness. Do you understand what I mean?"

Li Beijue parted his thin lips slightly: "It is because..."

He stopped for a moment halfway through his sentence.

After thinking for a few more seconds, he said helplessly: "Jiang Baobao has returned, and she has met with Yanbao."

"Ah?" Gu Ruohan was instantly shocked out of all his sleepiness.

He then continued to ask: "Then was it also because of her that Yanbao's condition flared up last time?"

"Yes." Li Beijue admitted helplessly.

A long silence came from the other end of the phone.

As a close friend, Gu Ruohan knew about the situation between Jiang Baobao and Li Beijue, and he immediately felt it was quite thorny.

After a long silence, he asked cautiously: "Let's get this straight, I don't want to interfere in your affairs, but... Yanbao's condition is all because he misses his mommy too much. I think the person who tied the knot should be the one to untie it. Why don't you let her take care of Yanbao for a period of time? The possibility of recovery will definitely skyrocket!"

"How could I possibly let her get close to Yanbao again? And come to the house to take care of him? Don't even think about it! Gu Ruohan, did you get your Doctor license for nothing?"

At the thought of this, Li Beijue couldn't suppress the anger in his heart and snapped at Gu Ruohan in a low voice.

Gu Ruohan felt extremely aggrieved: "I am not joking with you! To put it in layman's terms, Yanbao's condition is a mental knot! Do you not know what his mental knot is?"
