Chapter 73: Young Master Li is Being Completely Ignored

Jiang Baobao heard the little one change his words in cooperation, and only then did she relax slightly.

She hurriedly looked him over from head to toe, then asked with some confusion: "Yanbao, I heard you aren't feeling well? Where are you feeling unwell?"

Yanbao was stunned upon hearing this, and the expression on his little face instantly became somewhat embarrassed.

Li Beijue, however, let out a cold snort and explained unhappily: "He insisted on seeing you and wanted you to feed him, otherwise he wouldn't eat anything or go to kindergarten."

Jiang Baobao was taken aback for a moment, a hint of suppressed laughter appearing on her face.

This little one is too much of a troublemaker, isn't he?

To see her, he actually came up with such an idea; he's almost catching up to that little devil Mobai!

She sighed inwardly, unaware that everything the little one before her was doing was the true teachings of a certain little devil.

Hearing this, Yanbao simply grabbed Jiang Baobao's hand and shook it gently, asking with a face full of joy: "Mom..."

He had only said one word when he hurriedly changed his tone: "Auntie, have you had breakfast? The two of us can eat together! Auntie doesn't have to feed me either!"

"..." Listening to this, Li Beijue felt so stifled in his chest he could almost vomit blood.

Who could tell him why Yanbao is so obedient whenever he is in front of Jiang Baobao?

Did Jiang Baobao cast a spell on him?

Seeing how sensible the little one was, Jiang Baobao couldn't help but pinch his little cheek and reply with a smile: "It's okay, Auntie won't be tired even if I feed you. Do you want to eat here or downstairs? Once you're done, Auntie will take you to kindergarten."

"I want to eat here!"

Yanbao answered without hesitation, then hesitated and added: "But I don't want to go to kindergarten today..."

It was so hard to finally see Mommy, he didn't want to waste today's time!

He already knew everything taught in kindergarten; it wouldn't matter if he missed a day, right?

Yanbao thought this, deliberately widening his eyes as he looked at Li Beijue.

Li Beijue subconsciously wanted to refuse.

But thinking of the scene Yanbao had made that morning, he changed his mind and reluctantly agreed: "You can take the day off, but you must go tomorrow."

"Okay, thank you, Daddy!"

Yanbao immediately revealed a smiling face and thanked Li Beijue.

Looking at the little one's expression, a trace of confusion suddenly flashed in the depths of Li Beijue's eyes.

Yanbao... seems to have become well-behaved again?

Previously, his personality shifts only happened after waking up from sleep; has he now achieved seamless switching anytime and anywhere?

Or is it... because Jiang Baobao is here?

A strange feeling arose in Li Beijue's heart.

Before he could think it through, he saw Jiang Baobao had already picked Yanbao up, placed him on a chair, and asked with a smile: "What does Yanbao want for breakfast? Let Daddy have someone prepare it for you."

Li Beijue replied casually: "He wants to eat..."

But before he could finish his sentence, he heard the little one say without hesitation: "Anything is fine!"

Yanbao wore a big smile; ever since the moment he saw Jiang Baobao, he had become unusually easy to talk to, remaining all smiles.

Li Beijue's words froze on his lips, and he only felt the stifling air in his chest grow heavier.

Wasn't Yanbao just making a fuss about wanting to eat steamed buns earlier?

Is the charm of this woman, Jiang Baobao, really that great?

Why is he such a troublemaker in front of me?

The more Li Beijue thought about it, the more depressed he became, and an emotion called "jealousy" spread in the depths of his heart.

Yet, seeing the little one's smiling face, he couldn't help but feel moved.

Yanbao hadn't smiled this happily in a long time.

So be it.

He wouldn't go anywhere today; he would just watch Jiang Baobao!

She had better not pull any tricks under his nose!

A moment later—

Zheng Bo brought up the freshly prepared breakfast.

It was still Yanbao's favorite seafood porridge, accompanied by a few refreshing and delicious side dishes.

This time, Yanbao didn't pick at his food, but obediently picked up his little spoon.

How could Jiang Baobao bear to let him eat by himself? She hurriedly took it from him.

Yanbao, however, looked straight in Li Beijue's direction, a bold idea forming in his mind.

Anyway, he had already made a scene all morning... Daddy doesn't seem to be angry...

He thought this and deliberately tested the waters: "Daddy, when I'm eating, could you please not watch me?"

Hearing this, Li Beijue's brow tightened sharply.

Is Yanbao trying to drive him away?

He felt somewhat unhappy and deliberately stood where he was without moving.

Seeing this, Yanbao immediately pouted his little mouth slightly, and the smile from before vanished.

Jiang Baobao felt both heartache and helplessness.

She knew Yanbao wanted to spend a little time alone with her, so she had to turn around and explain with patience: "Li Beijue, could you go to another room for a while? I'm just keeping Yanbao company for breakfast. If you're worried, we can have activities downstairs later; we won't stay here the whole time."

Hearing Jiang Baobao's words and meeting Yanbao's gaze, seeing the anticipation in the little one's big eyes, Li Beijue had to compromise.

He didn't say anything more and turned to leave.

Yanbao pricked up his little ears, listening to Li Beijue's footsteps fade away, before hurriedly running over to close the door.

Then, with a turn, he threw himself directly into Jiang Baobao's arms.

"Mommy! I missed you so much!"

Yanbao finally changed the way he addressed her back, hugging Jiang Baobao with great reliance.

Jiang Baobao's heart softened completely, and she gently rubbed the little guy's head.

"Baby, Mommy missed you too..."

As she said this, she planted a light kiss on Yanbao's forehead.

Immediately after, she saw the little guy look up in confusion and ask perplexedly, "Mommy, why did Daddy say that you aren't my mommy and that I have to call you Auntie? You are clearly my mommy!"

Jiang Baobao was instantly caught between laughter and tears.

Although she did not understand what Li Beijue was thinking, she could guess a little bit.

Jiang Baobao shook her head with amusement, then explained, "Maybe... your daddy doesn't want the two of us to be too close?"

As she spoke, her mood suddenly became a bit heavy.

Li Beijue wished he could cut off all connection between her and Yanbao...

Just as she was thinking this, the next second she saw the little guy in her arms widen his eyes in disbelief and ask puzzledly, "Why?"

Jiang Baobao pondered for two seconds before finding an answer that a child could accept, explaining, "Because... he only wants Yanbao to like him alone..."

"But that's very unfair!" Yanbao immediately retorted with dissatisfaction, "I wouldn't stop liking Daddy just because I like Mommy. Since when did Daddy become so stingy?"

Why must one choose between them?

Can't he like both of them!

Watching the little guy's look of utter bewilderment, Jiang Baobao couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Alright, this isn't something you should be thinking about. It's already great that Mommy can come to see you now, but... we have to be a little more careful from now on..."

"Mm-hmm! I know!" Yanbao understood immediately, stood on his tiptoes to lean into Jiang Baobao's ear, and whispered, "From now on, in front of Daddy, I'll call Mommy 'Auntie'! When it's just the two of us, I'll still call you 'Mommy'!"

After he finished speaking, both of them couldn't help but laugh.
