Chapter 8: Marrying Her Again as My Wife

Gu Ruohan slowly began to speak, "Based on Yanbao's current condition, not only is there no sign of recovery, but his illness seems to be gradually worsening. The reason he hasn't had an outbreak for a long time is precisely because he's been forcefully suppressing it. Yanbao's mental state is certainly not that of other children his age. This time, his throwing the medicine bottle and shouting at you indicates that his second personality is gradually becoming more distinct, taking actions based on the deep obsessions in his heart!"

"So what's the treatment? Just sleep it off and he'll recover, like before?" Li Beijue patiently listened to the long explanation, his tone icy as he asked.

Gu Ruohan gave a helpless sigh, "That's hard to say... But..."

He suddenly thought of something and sharply changed the subject, "There's always a trigger for the outbreaks. Has Yanbao encountered anything unusual recently?"

A flicker of cold light passed through Li Beijue's eyes. It was all that stupid woman, Jiang Baobao's fault!

If it weren't for her, Yanbao wouldn't have had an episode!

He abruptly clenched his cellphone, his tone stiff as he explained, "Yesterday at the airport, Yanbao mistook a stranger for Mommy."

"I see..." Gu Ruohan sounded thoughtful, "That means something about that lady must have matched Yanbao's expectations of Mommy. It shouldn't be difficult for you to find someone. Why not ask her to help? It could be beneficial for Yanbao's condition!"

Li Beijue paused slightly.

Gu Ruohan, however, kept talking non-stop on the other end of the line, "Actually, this method could be very effective. After all, the person who can untie the bell must be the one who tied it. If by chance she's also single, then you'd get the first shot given your proximity to her..."

"Got it, go back to sleep," Li Beijue said, sounding somewhat impatient as he abruptly hung up the phone and pondered expressionlessly.

Let that irresponsible woman take care of Yanbao?

Who knew if she would cause Yanbao's condition to worsen?

Besides, the woman he wanted to marry had always been only one person!

It was the girl who had saved him sixteen years ago!

It certainly wasn't Jiang Baobao!

As Li Beijue was deep in thought, he suddenly felt his phone vibrate sharply. It was a text message from Gu Ruohan.

[I'm not joking with you. Find that woman. She might really be able to temporarily soothe Yanbao. Just see how much money she wants. Maybe when Yanbao gets a bit older, he might recover naturally. But for now, his condition really doesn't look too promising.]

Li Beijue stared at his phone for a long time, then tossed it aside in irritation.

...

He hadn't slept all night.

Li Beijue spent the entire night thinking about Jiang Baobao. As soon as dawn began to break, he heard a knock on the door.

"Young Master, are you awake?" Uncle Zheng's voice was cautious, tinged with an uncontrollable urgency.

Li Beijue got up and opened the door.

Uncle Zheng didn't wait for Li Beijue to speak and hurriedly said, "Young Master, you should really see the young master. He hasn't slept all night, and he won't eat breakfast or drink water. If this goes on, it's going to take a toll on his health!"

Li Beijue took a deep breath, rubbed his temples wearily and hesitated only for two seconds before quickly making a decision, "Tell Yanbao he can skip the medication, but he needs to eat his breakfast obediently. I can agree to his demands, otherwise, I don't mind dragging this out with him!"

"Right, right, I'll tell him right away!" Uncle Zheng immediately lit up with joy upon hearing the concession and turned to leave promptly.

...

Meanwhile, Jiang Baobao also had a sleepless night in the hotel.

She had thought of countless ways to resist Li Beijue but wasn't entirely confident in any of them.

Not until daylight did she reluctantly sit up in bed and instinctively dialed Mobai's number, "I'm sorry, the number you have dialed is powered off..."

Listening to the mechanical female voice, Jiang Baobao cut off the call.

The next second, her phone suddenly rang!

Looking at the unfamiliar number on the screen, she hesitated for a moment, but still answered the call.

A man's gentle voice came through the phone, "Miss Jiang? I am President Li's assistant. President Li would like to see you. A car will pick you up at the hotel entrance shortly to take you to Li Mansion."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Baobao immediately asked warily, "What does he want to see me for?"

The assistant replied, "I'm not sure about the details, but it seems that the young master has some health issues. Please hurry."

"What?" Jiang Baobao exclaimed in shock, wanting to ask more, but the other party had already hung up.

What was Li Beijue up to?

How could he let his precious son get sick just overnight?

Jiang Baobao's heart clenched tightly as she quickly rolled out of bed to wash up.

She hurriedly got ready and rushed downstairs to the hotel lobby, and sure enough, a black business car was already waiting at the entrance.

Jiang Baobao got into the car without a word, but she didn't notice a small figure hidden behind a large vase at the hotel entrance, peering out at her.

Our real little Jiang Mobai watched Jiang Baobao's hasty departure and couldn't help but wrinkle his little nose.

Why was Mommy in such a hurry? Where was she going?

He had landed and, with the fastest speed, had hacked into the systems of all the high-end hotels in the city to find his mommy.

He had originally planned to surprise Mommy!

Mobai watched as the black car drove away, then hopped out from behind the vase and dashed across the street toward a taxi.

…

It wasn't long before the car stopped outside Li Mansion.

Jiang Baobao immediately pushed the car door open and ran out, asking the servants and then rushing upstairs.

"Li Beijue, where's my son? What's wrong with him?" She ran into the study and immediately glared at the man standing by the window as she entered.

Li Beijue turned around, and the moment he saw Jiang Baobao, he couldn't help but become momentarily spellbound.

Last night's Jiang Baobao had a radiant face, which had matured a lot compared to before.

But today's Jiang Baobao, due to her anxiety and without having applied any makeup, showed only worry and the suppressed frailty in her eyes, which made one unable to resist the urge to go over and comfort her...

Li Beijue's gaze sharpened abruptly, quite annoyed at his own distraction.

"Li Beijue, I'm asking you what's wrong with my son?" Jiang Baobao was desperate, taking two steps forward and demanding again.

Li Beijue met her moist eyes, full of concern, and a contemptuous feeling suddenly arose within him.

If she really cared for and loved Yanbao, where had she been earlier?

Where had she been for the past five years?

"He's feeling unwell and wants to see you," Li Beijue averted his gaze, speaking indifferently.

Jiang Baobao's expression grew even more anxious, "What's making him uncomfortable? Is he running a fever? Or is it something else...?"

Li Beijue interrupted her coldly, "He won't eat or drink water, but knowing that you were coming, he obediently finished his breakfast."

"Are you even human, Li Beijue? That's your son; he's clearly on a hunger strike!" Jiang Baobao, unable to hold back her anger, raised her hand to slap the man's stern face!

The next second, her wrist was fiercely grabbed by the man.

Li Beijue's eyes were filled with darkness as he gritted his teeth at the person in front of him, "You dare to strike me, Jiang Baobao; do you have a death wish?"

Jiang Baobao struggled with all her might, to no avail, and could only use her eyes to reproach the man in front of her, threatening fiercely, "If you have the guts, kill me. Li Beijue, if anything happens to my son, I will fight you with my life!"
