Chapter 78: Feeding Young Master Li by Hand
The cookies and snacks were soon almost all distributed.
Yanbao had not expected Jiang Baobao to be capable of making these, and his little heart felt warm.
The children around them couldn't wait to taste a cookie and immediately began to praise them.
"So delicious! Even better than the ones in the cake shop! Li Xingyan, your mommy is amazing! She's both pretty and knows how to make delicious food!"
Another child turned their head and shouted to their own parent: "Mommy! You should go learn how to make cookies too!"
Hearing the children's innocent words, Jiang Baobao couldn't help but chuckle.
Yanbao also leaned into Jiang Baobao's arms with a look of satisfaction, the smile on his face having remained there since just a moment ago.
Today is really so happy!
His mommy is the prettiest, gentlest, and best mommy in the whole world!
After the children had praised them for a long time, they were finally called back by their own parents.
Li Beijue sat to one side, not expressing any opinion throughout the entire process.
He truly could not find any fault with what Jiang Baobao had just done.
He even somewhat hated to admit that what she made was indeed quite good.
"Mommy, are there any more little cookies?" Yanbao couldn't help but say, feeling a bit greedy.
Jiang Baobao immediately said with amusement: "Of course there are, Mommy saved a portion for you, but let's eat our meal first! The rice balls Mommy made are also very delicious!"
As she spoke, she casually picked one up and placed it in Yanbao's hand.
Yanbao took a small, cautious bite and was instantly amazed.
"It's really so delicious! Mommy is so amazing!"
The little fellow couldn't stop praising it, and after looking at the Panda Rice Ball in his hand, he suddenly felt a bit reluctant to keep eating it.
Li Beijue sat to one side, glancing at the two of them with his peripheral vision, not speaking.
This was his first time attending this kind of activity, and he hadn't known that they were supposed to bring their own lunch.
Right now, it was even more impossible for him to lower his pride and take the initiative to ask Jiang Baobao for food.
Jiang Baobao noticed his awkwardness and couldn't help but snicker to herself.
Hmph!
Are you stupid now!
You actually didn't know to bring your own food!
She didn't want to share her handiwork with Li Beijue at all!
Jiang Baobao deliberately pretended not to notice, with no intention of speaking up at all.
Yanbao's big eyes also paid attention to the two of them from time to time, and his little mind began to stir.
Is Daddy too embarrassed to speak up and ask Mommy for food?
No!
I have to find a way to help him!
Thinking this, Yanbao scanned his surroundings, and when he suddenly saw the parents of other children, his eyes couldn't help but light up.
There's an auntie over there feeding her uncle food!
They look like they have such a good relationship!
The little fellow's mind stirred slightly, and he suddenly had a bold idea.
"Daddy, aren't you going to eat?" Yanbao asked deliberately.
As soon as the words fell, both Jiang Baobao and Li Beijue's expressions faltered.
The two of them subconsciously looked at each other, then quickly looked away.
Li Beijue was expressionless, appearing not to care.
What is that woman thinking?
Does she expect him to take the initiative to speak?
Hmph, she isn't taking the initiative to hand it to him either, really!
Jiang Baobao, however, snorted coldly in her heart, her face full of disdain.
If Li Beijue doesn't open his mouth to beg her today, he won't get to eat anything!
The two of them remained in a stalemate just like that.
The next second, they saw that Yanbao's expression was a bit sad.
Then he spoke in a low voice: "Mommy, Daddy will be hungry if he doesn't eat, could you please give him a rice ball?"
Upon hearing this, Li Beijue's expression was somewhat satisfied.
Yanbao is indeed still on his side!
Jiang Baobao thought for two seconds and also softened a bit.
Not wanting to make the little fellow unhappy, she casually grabbed a rice ball and threw it into Li Beijue's hand with stiff movements.
She didn't forget to warn him: "You aren't allowed to express any opinions; if you think it tastes bad, give it back to me!"
Li Beijue glanced at her indifferently, did not speak, and unwrapped the rice ball with an expressionless face.
He took a light bite, but a flash of surprise immediately crossed his eyes.
He never ate this kind of food.
But he hadn't expected the taste to be unexpectedly good.
The rice grains were plump, and he didn't know what ingredients had been added inside, but it carried a hint of savory flavor that unexpectedly suited his palate.
Li Beijue's gaze flickered for a moment; he didn't offer a comment, but simply took another bite in silence.
Excitement shone in Yanbao's big eyes.
Seeing that the plan was half successful, he immediately spoke again: "Mommy, look at the mommies and daddies of other families, they all feed each other, but you and Daddy aren't even talking..."
"Baby, this... isn't this making it a bit too difficult for Mommy?" Jiang Baobao looked at Yanbao, caught between laughter and tears, her heart full of helplessness, yet also feeling a pang of heartache.
She wanted to fulfill all of Yanbao's wishes.
Yet she had no way to give him a complete family and a happy living environment.
Upon hearing this, Li Beijue was also stunned; his gaze swept over the surrounding families without a change in expression, and he frowned slightly.
He did not understand.
Everyone was an adult, what was the point of feeding each other during a meal?
It was both a waste of time and inefficient.
Immediately after, however, he heard Yanbao say in an even smaller voice: "Mommy, I'm sorry, I was just... afraid that the other children would find out I was lying... I told them that my daddy and mommy have a very good relationship..."
The more Yanbao spoke, the lower his little head drooped, and he seemed to be blaming himself.
Jiang Baobao's heart softened completely; how could she care about anything else?
Hearing this, she immediately grabbed her chopsticks, picked up a shrimp, and held it to Li Beijue's lips.
She then put on a small smile and asked in a sweet tone: "Darling, want to try this?"
Li Beijue had not expected her to move so quickly and was caught off guard for a moment.
Darling...
It seemed like it had been a long time since he had heard these three words from Jiang Baobao's mouth.
Li Beijue's thoughts stirred slightly, and a subtle feeling suddenly arose.
The next second, he saw the smile on Jiang Baobao's face carry a hint of helplessness as she shoved the chopsticks hard toward his mouth!
Jiang Baobao noticed that Yanbao and the other children were looking over, so she winked at Li Beijue.
Eat!
What was this guy thinking?
Could he not even act?
Li Beijue's lips were poked until they hurt, so he had no choice but to open them slightly.
The next second, a shrimp with the scent of avocado was delivered into his mouth.
Li Beijue's gaze flickered for an instant; he suddenly did not know how to describe his current mood.
This was the first time he had ever been fed by a woman.
He had to admit, Jiang Baobao's cooking was indeed quite good...
Just as Li Beijue was thinking this, he saw Jiang Baobao quickly drop the chopsticks in her hand.
She then picked up a clean pair and began to eat on her own.
She did not forget to whisper to Yanbao beside her: "Baby, is this okay now? Mommy has fulfilled your request!"
Li Beijue frowned sharply, staring at the chopsticks that had been tossed aside.
For people who are not close to eat like this is perfectly normal.
But for some reason, he felt a strange sense of displeasure.
Yanbao, however, was completely oblivious and nodded excitedly, his big eyes unable to stop darting between the two of them.
Mommy fed Daddy!
If things keep going like this, maybe they will be able to reconcile!
He must work hard, work hard, and work even harder to let Daddy and Mommy reconcile soon!
