Chapter 71: Something Happened, It Was Discovered

Yanbao's expression immediately turned somewhat excited, and he hurriedly began to read through it quickly and carefully.

He saw that it was filled with dense, tiny characters.

【Yanbao! I'm heading back to find Mommy now! I'll tell you a piece of good news: Daddy seems to be planning to let Mommy come take care of you! You must not act so well-behaved! Just like I usually do, give Daddy a hard time! Make him think your condition hasn't recovered yet! That way, Mommy will be able to come see you! You must remember this! If you don't know how, we can contact each other on the computer; add my QQ!】

Mobai had briefly explained the situation, and the remaining content was his QQ number, as well as instructions for the well-behaved Yanbao on how to turn the house upside down.

Yanbao finished reading all the content with a look of surprise, the expression on his little face suddenly becoming somewhat troubled.

If he really did as Mobai said, Daddy would be angry, right...

But...

If he didn't do this, then he wouldn't be able to see Mommy!

Yanbao hesitated for a moment, but as soon as he thought about Jiang Baobao being able to come here to see him, he finally made up his mind!

To see Mommy, he would risk it all!

The next day—

Keeping the content of Mobai's note firmly in mind, Yanbao deliberately kept a straight face as he went downstairs and sat at the dining table.

"Yanbao, did you rest well yesterday?"

Li Beijue greeted Yanbao as he usually did.

Yanbao subconsciously wanted to answer, but the words reached his lips and he swallowed them back down.

No, he had to pretend he didn't like Daddy!

Yanbao felt nervous inside, but he still deliberately said, "Not well. I dreamed of Mommy last night. Daddy, when can I see Mommy again?"

Li Beijue's hand holding the chopsticks paused abruptly, a dark glint flashing across his eyes, tinged with a trace of confusion.

How had Yanbao's tone changed back to this attitude?

Could his condition...

Li Beijue looked at the little fellow in front of him, lost in thought, his heart tightening once again.

Seeing that the atmosphere had become somewhat stiff, Zheng Bo hurriedly smiled to smooth things over: "Little Young Master, the Young Master specifically ordered someone to make your favorite seafood porridge..."

As Zheng Bo spoke, he smilingly handed over a spoon.

Yanbao, however, didn't even look at it and turned his head away directly.

Thinking of the note Mobai had left behind yesterday, he gritted his teeth and deliberately said loudly, "I don't want to drink seafood porridge, I want to eat steamed buns!"

Yanbao put on a full display of being disobedient, while his little hand hidden under the table nervously picked at his clothes.

It's over!

He had never spoken like this before! Daddy would definitely be angry!

Yanbao's little heart was thumping wildly, and he waited nervously and anxiously for Li Beijue's response.

He had originally thought Li Beijue would lose his temper, but unexpectedly, he only said gently, "Yanbao, you have to go to kindergarten in a while, and there isn't enough time to make steamed buns now. Daddy will have someone prepare them for you tomorrow morning, okay?"

Hearing this, Yanbao felt somewhat surprised.

Daddy is so gentle today...

It was the first time the little fellow had seen Li Beijue looking so easygoing, and for a moment, he couldn't bear to continue picking a fight.

But as soon as he thought of Jiang Baobao, he couldn't help but waver again.

Yanbao glanced hesitantly in the direction of the clock, but in the end, he bit the bullet and deliberately threw a tantrum, shouting, "I don't care! If I can't eat them today, I won't go to kindergarten!"

As he spoke, he simply jumped off the chair and headed back to his room upstairs.

"Yanbao!!!"

Li Beijue called out to stop him, his brow furrowed tightly.

Yanbao stopped in his tracks, his nervous little hands clenched together.

Was Daddy about to lose his temper?

But he had already been making a scene for a while now, so he had to keep going!

Thinking this, Yanbao steeled his heart, pouted, turned his little face around, and looked at Li Beijue with displeasure, loudly retorting, "I just want to eat steamed buns! And I want Mommy to feed them to me! Otherwise, I won't eat! And I don't want to go to kindergarten!"

Yanbao quickly left these words behind, and after finishing, he ran upstairs without looking back.

Li Beijue and Zheng Bo stood frozen in place, the expressions on their faces somewhat subtle.

Li Beijue watched the little fellow's back as he ran upstairs, a bottomless storm gradually brewing in the depths of his eyes.

Was Yanbao's condition getting more and more serious?

He had been perfectly normal just last night; how could he have turned back into his previous self after waking up from a sleep?

With such frequent episodes, his body surely wouldn't be able to take it!

Seeing this, Zheng Bo also felt somewhat helpless and took the initiative to ask, "Young Master, would you like me to go up..."

"No need."

Li Beijue interrupted him, a hint of irritation mixed in his brow.

In this state, Yanbao wouldn't listen to anyone.

Except... that woman.

Li Beijue thought of Gu Ruohan's previous suggestion, his eyes filled with lingering gloom.

Was there really no other way to treat him besides letting that woman come to take care of Yanbao?

Li Beijue thought about it, but he already had the answer in his heart.

He stood up without a word and turned to leave.

Upon reaching the study upstairs, he sat behind the desk and hurriedly made a call.

"President Li, do you have any instructions?" Assistant Chen answered the phone with lightning speed.

Li Beijue asked, "Has there been any progress regarding the necklace?"

"..." Assistant Chen was silent for a second.

Why is this happening again?

What has happened recently to make President Li's mood so unstable?

Thinking of this, he immediately replied tremblingly, "I'm sorry, President Li, there is still... there are still no useful clues..."

"Hmm." Li Beijue responded indifferently, hung up the phone, tossed the mobile phone aside, and a trace of annoyance appeared between his brows.

Why?

Why can't I find a single trace of her?

She is so gentle and kind; if she were the one taking care of Yanbao, she would definitely be ten thousand times better than that woman Jiang Baobao!

Yanbao would definitely like her too!

Li Beijue sighed in his heart. He did not know how much time had passed before he picked up his phone again with a dark face.

Inside the Training Base—

It was rare for Jiang Baobao to get up early in the morning, intending to make breakfast for the two little ones.

However, before she could even walk out of the room, she heard her phone buzzing and vibrating.

She took a quick glance, and after seeing the number on the screen, she was suddenly stunned for a moment.

Li Beijue's call?

What does he want to do again?

Could it be that something happened on Yanbao's end!

Jiang Baobao did not dare to delay and quickly answered the phone.

"Hello? Why are you looking for me? Is it about Yanbao?" Jiang Baobao asked straight to the point as soon as she picked up.

Hearing this, Li Beijue was silent for a moment.

Hearing the concern in her tone, a trace of disdain immediately flashed across his eyes.

Since she cares so much, why didn't she do it sooner?

Li Beijue suppressed the urge to mock Jiang Baobao and said straightforwardly, "Yanbao isn't feeling very well and is making a fuss about seeing you. You can continue with the nanny arrangement we discussed before, and you can feel free to bring up any other requirements."

"I don't have any requirements! What's wrong with Yanbao? I'll go over to see him in a while!"

Jiang Baobao was practically begging to be the nanny, so she agreed without any hesitation upon hearing this.

Li Beijue, however, was not so easy to talk to.

Thinking of Yanbao's level of dependence on Jiang Baobao, he always felt somewhat uneasy.

Letting Jiang Baobao take care of Yanbao was a choice made out of necessity.

But all she is supposed to do is alleviate Yanbao's condition!

The relationship between the two of them must absolutely not go any further!

"Hello? Li Beijue?"

Jiang Baobao waited for a long time without hearing the person on the other end of the phone speak, and her heart suddenly became anxious.

Li Beijue snapped back to his senses, his gaze flickering for a moment, and he said in a low voice, "You can come, but you must explain clearly to Yanbao that you are not his mommy, and tell him not to call you mommy anymore."

"This..."

Jiang Baobao was instantly speechless, not expecting Li Beijue to actually make such a request.

"If you don't agree, then don't come." Li Beijue threatened deliberately.

Jiang Baobao had no room to choose, so she had to respond, "Fine, fine, fine, I promise you, I will explain it clearly to Yanbao."
