Chapter 80: Almost Kissing His Lips

Li Beijue did not commit, and just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard the broadcast ring out, calling Yanbao's name and telling him to go on stage to receive his award.

Jiang Baobao smiled and put the little one in her arms down, gently rubbed his little head, and said tenderly, "Go on, Mommy is here waiting for you."

Yanbao, however, grabbed Jiang Baobao's hand, looked at her with an expectant face, and asked, "Mommy, can you go with me?"

Jiang Baobao was slightly stunned, then immediately smiled and agreed.

She picked the little one up and walked with long strides toward the podium.

She did not forget to cast a triumphant glance at Li Beijue.

Hmph!

This guy can just watch from here!

Jiang Baobao thought to herself as she stood on the podium holding the little one, watching the teacher hang the small medal around Yanbao's neck.

The next second, she suddenly felt a warmth on her face.

With his little ears turning red, Yanbao had actually kissed Jiang Baobao just like that!

Jiang Baobao's heart softened, and she suddenly felt a sourness in her nose, nearly shedding tears.

Li Beijue's gaze flickered for an instant as he looked at the two people on the podium.

Yanbao's smile had not disappeared once today.

Is he really that happy being with that woman?

Li Beijue's mood was also somewhat unpleasant, but more than that, it was an indescribable subtlety.

After Jiang Baobao held Yanbao while he received the award, she returned to the rest area.

She knew there were other competitions to follow, but Yanbao's name had not been called.

Jiang Baobao waited for a long time and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Baby, what other event is there? Do we have to wait a while longer for it to start?"

"Um... maybe we have to wait a little longer... Mommy can rest a bit more!"

Yanbao's expression was somewhat evasive; as he spoke, his eyes couldn't help but dart around, looking a bit guilty.

That was an event he had specifically chosen for Daddy and Mommy!

If Mommy found out now, what if she didn't participate!

Jiang Baobao waited for quite a while longer before finally hearing Yanbao's name called over the broadcast.

"Baby, it seems it's time for the event you signed up for!"

Jiang Baobao had already rested enough, and as she spoke, she stood up.

Then, she was suddenly struck by a jolt.

Everyone walking toward the playground was a pair of parents.

And their children were left in their seats, cheering them on.

Jiang Baobao's whole body stiffened, and an ominous premonition instantly arose.

Could it be that only she and Li Beijue were participating in this event?

As she thought this, she saw out of the corner of her eye that Li Beijue had also stood up, frowning as he looked at Yanbao.

Yanbao's little face was not smiling as it had been just a moment ago; instead, it was pulled tight as he whispered, "Daddy, Mommy, I'm a little tired... I won't participate in this event..."

"Baby..." Jiang Baobao was caught between laughter and tears upon hearing this.

She knew exactly what this little guy was up to.

But having her complete a game with Li Beijue alone... that was just too torturous!

Seeing Jiang Baobao's reluctant expression, Li Beijue couldn't help but feel a flare of anger in his heart again.

This expression again!

He hadn't even said anything yet; what right did she have to be so picky here?

Li Beijue was about to speak instinctively.

But before he could say anything, he heard Yanbao whisper, "Because... the prize for this event... I really like it! It's a little blue car..."

Hearing this, Li Beijue glanced in the direction of the prizes.

Sure enough, he saw a huge blue toy car placed at the very top.

"Didn't you say you wanted to make Yanbao happy today?"

Li Beijue withdrew his gaze, looked at Jiang Baobao with a sharp expression, his tone carrying an unconscious provocation.

Jiang Baobao snapped back to her senses, successfully stimulated.

"That's right, then let's go! Let's go win the prize for Yanbao!"

She had been hesitant before, but now she agreed without a second thought, her face full of defiance.

It's just a little car!

She could win the championship no matter who she was paired with!

Yanbao instantly gave his full support, looking at the two of them in high spirits, and shouted excitedly, "Daddy, Mommy, go for it!"

The matter was settled, and Jiang Baobao and Li Beijue walked together toward the preparation area.

Only, they did not notice that Yanbao behind them was smiling with a belly full of schemes.

Jiang Baobao and Li Beijue walked side by side, their presence imposing.

Unlike other couples who were sweet, they looked more like comrades-in-arms about to head to the front lines.

Jiang Baobao warmed up in a relaxed manner, looking at the game props on the side with some confusion.

What was this game supposed to be?

Why were there so many balloons prepared?

Just as she was thinking this, she heard the referee explaining from the side: "This game tests the cooperation and rapport between fathers and mothers. Two people face each other holding hands, place a balloon between them, and transport it to the other side. During the process, the balloon is not allowed to drop or be squeezed until it pops. One successful transport earns one point. The time limit is five minutes."

With every word Jiang Baobao heard, the expression on her face became more colorful.

Two people holding hands face-to-face?

What kind of posture would that even be!

It's just too ambiguous!

Jiang Baobao suddenly felt some regret; why did she agree to come and participate in this game?

If Yanbao wants a toy car, she can buy as many as he wants herself!

Seeing other couples already starting to practice, Jiang Baobao subconsciously and awkwardly put her hands behind her back.

It's over... there's no way to get a ranking in this game.

Besides, Li Beijue might not even want to participate!

Jiang Baobao's eyes suddenly lit up, and she looked up at the person beside her, only to find that he was also calmly looking at her.

"Scared?"

Li Beijue spoke indifferently, showing no intention of backing down at all.

For some reason, he actually felt that this game seemed quite interesting.

Especially being able to see the expression of a certain woman who was clearly reluctant, yet had no choice but to compete.

It really made one feel exceptionally comfortable.

Hearing this, Jiang Baobao was predictably unconvinced in an instant and retorted without hesitation: "What's there to be scared of? I'm afraid you'll hold me back!"

She snapped at the person in front of her, forcibly suppressing the unhappy thoughts in her heart.

Don't think about it so much!

Just treat Li Beijue as a potato, a head of cabbage!

Participating in the competition is just to get the prize for Yanbao!

Jiang Baobao took a deep breath, gradually calming her mood.

The next second, she saw Li Beijue casually grab a balloon that was fully inflated.

"Come here."

Li Beijue commanded Jiang Baobao.

Jiang Baobao immediately felt unhappy again.

It's that commanding tone again!

Can't this guy change that?

She couldn't be bothered to argue with him at a time like this and walked over with a blank expression.

The next second, she felt her wrist being gripped by a strong hand!

Jiang Baobao's breath hitched, and she suddenly felt inexplicably nervous.

"Don't move."

Seeing her want to step back, Li Beijue casually pulled her forward.

He then placed the balloon in his hand between the two of them.

Jiang Baobao obediently stayed still.

Immediately after, she felt her other hand being pulled up as well!

The distance between the two of them closed instantly.

Jiang Baobao subconsciously swallowed.

This... isn't this too close!

She felt... like she was about to kiss Li Beijue...
