Chapter 85: Discovering Jiang Baobao's Secret

Mobai did not expect that Tiantian would have such a strong opinion of Li Beijue, and suddenly felt that her appearance was inexplicably familiar.

Had he not also hated Daddy like this before?

Although he didn't like him much now either... but he also felt that he wasn't as bad as he had thought before...

At least he was very gentle with him; no matter how much he acted up, he would indulge him...

Mobai's little brain was running rapidly when he suddenly heard Tiantian ask in confusion: "Brother, why did you suddenly ask me this? Is Mommy planning to make up with Daddy?"

"No." Mobai shook his head, at a loss for how to explain it for a moment.

Tiantian did not continue to press him, but instead said expectantly: "Although I don't like Daddy, I really like Brother Yan! Let Mommy bring him back to live with us! It would definitely be happier than staying by Daddy's side!"

Little Mobai listened to his younger sister's naive remarks and suddenly felt a bit of a headache.

Things weren't that simple!

If Daddy were really that easy to deal with, he wouldn't always have to swap identities with Yanbao!

The two little ones' "secret meeting" ended, and Mobai casually found an excuse to return to his room.

As soon as he entered the door, he flopped onto the bed in distress.

Making Daddy and Mommy make up was Yanbao's wish!

But his sister's opinion was also very important!

Which side should he stand on?

At such a young age, Mobai had already encountered a huge life dilemma.

……

The next day—

Jiang Baobao received a call from Yanbao early in the morning and rushed to the Li Mansion in the afternoon.

She found her way upstairs with ease, and just as she pushed open the bedroom door, she saw the little one rushing toward her.

"Yanbao, shouldn't you be at kindergarten this afternoon?"

Jiang Baobao caught this "little cannonball" between laughter and tears and placed him on the bed.

Yanbao blinked, his expression suddenly becoming somewhat subtle.

Should he tell the truth or not...

If he lied, Mommy would hate him, right...

Yanbao hesitated for two seconds before answering truthfully: "Because I wanted to spend more time with Mommy, I asked the teacher for leave..."

"Ah? You little one, really..."

Jiang Baobao did not expect that he would do this just to see her, and her heart suddenly felt a bit sour and astringent.

Fearing that she would be angry with him, Yanbao hurriedly explained: "Mommy, I have already learned everything the teacher taught, so taking half a day off is nothing!"

Jiang Baobao was suddenly caught between laughter and tears, and with some amusement, she pinched his little cheek: "Yes, yes, yes, Mommy's treasure is the smartest, learning everything at once! Then what do you want to do this afternoon?"

"I don't know, I'm just happy if Mommy can stay with me."

Yanbao answered solemnly, a smile hanging on his face.

Then, thinking of something, he said excitedly: "And Daddy isn't home today! I don't have to call Mommy 'Auntie'!"

"Your Daddy isn't here?"

Jiang Baobao was stunned for a moment, and after recalling carefully, she realized that she indeed hadn't seen Li Beijue's usual car when she entered the door.

She thought for a moment and suddenly suggested: "Then how about Mommy makes you something delicious? Do you still want to eat that Panda Rice Ball from yesterday?"

"Yes! Things Mommy makes are the best!" Yanbao immediately raised both hands in approval.

The two went downstairs to the kitchen, chatting and laughing, had Zheng Bo prepare some ingredients, and then let everyone else go back to rest.

Jiang Baobao sorted the prepared materials one by one and tied a small apron on Yanbao.

"Mommy! I also want to learn that octopus sausage! And the apple shaped like a little rabbit!"

The little one had the word 'excited' written all over his face, happily hovering around Jiang Baobao and talking.

Jiang Baobao dotingly agreed to everything.

The two stayed in the kitchen for the whole afternoon, making many delicious things.

Yet they didn't notice that the sun had set without them realizing it.

As soon as Li Beijue entered the door, he heard faint laughter coming from the kitchen.

Zheng Bo stepped forward, took his coat, and took the initiative to explain: "Young Master, Miss Jiang is here and is in the kitchen teaching the Young Master how to make snacks."

"Mm, I'll go take a look."

Li Beijue nodded and was about to leave when he heard Zheng Bo continue: "Young Master, the Young Master asked his teacher for leave this afternoon, saying he wasn't feeling well, but he felt better after coming back to rest for a while. Do you think we should boil some soup to nourish the Young Master's body?"

"Not feeling well? Where was he uncomfortable?" Li Beijue's footsteps stopped abruptly, his gaze flickered for a moment, and he suddenly thought of something.

He then asked: "When did Jiang Baobao arrive?"

"This... the Young Master didn't say specifically, only that he felt a bit unwell. As for Miss Jiang... she arrived not long after the Young Master returned..."

Zheng Bo answered hesitantly, suddenly realizing he might have said something wrong.

Li Beijue's brows knit together tightly, and without a word, he strode toward the kitchen.

But before he could get close, he clearly heard voices coming from the kitchen.

"Mommy! The rice ball I made is so ugly! It doesn't look as good as the one you made!"

Yanbao held the little rice ball he had made in his hands, looked at Jiang Baobao's, and shook his head with some dissatisfaction.

Then he turned his head to look at the small piece of apple he had cut under Jiang Baobao's guidance.

He stared at it for several moments before reluctantly shaking his head and saying: "The apple doesn't look as good as Mommy's either! But it's better than the rice ball!"

Jiang Baobao was amused by his serious tone and hurriedly laughed to comfort him: "That's because this is your first time making it, treasure. You'll be fine after practicing a few more times! It will definitely be better than what Mommy makes!"

Just as her voice fell, she saw someone out of the corner of her eye suddenly stride in from the doorway!

Jiang Baobao turned her head subconsciously and instantly collided with Li Beijue's cold eyes, which were devoid of even a shred of emotion.

"What are you doing?" Li Beijue swept a cold glance over the cute food arranged on the cutting board and asked deliberately.

Jiang Baobao felt a bit guilty; she forced a smile and replied, pretending to be nonchalant, "Nothing much, just making something for Yanbao to eat. Didn't you eat some yesterday too?"

Li Beijue did not respond; he shot her a cold look, then immediately turned his gaze to Yanbao, who was standing to the side.

He saw that the little fellow's lips were rosy, his little face showed no signs of paleness at all, and there were even some beads of sweat on it.

Li Beijue's eyes sharpened, and his fingers clenched tightly...

How could this look like Yanbao was sick?

He was clearly perfectly fine!

It must have been taught by this woman who had no integrity!

She had made him deceive his teacher and ask for leave to come home to play!

And the most critical part was that this woman, Jiang Baobao, had clearly promised him she would no longer let Yanbao call her Mommy, yet now she dared to play these double-faced tricks on him!

Li Beijue took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart.

"Yanbao, you go back to your room first."

Li Beijue commanded.

Yanbao was stunned; he did not obey immediately as he usually did, but instead looked at Jiang Baobao with unease.

Li Beijue's anger flared even more intensely.

Was Yanbao now even looking at this woman's expression before listening to his own words?
