BXBX NOVEL Chapter 99 - 99: Oh No, Baobao Is On Television
Standing at the residential area’s activity center, Jùnjùn and Baobao were pale as a sheet. They took one step at a time, stopping in between as though they’d collapse any moment. Their mommy was stunned.
Li An’an’s long white dress fluttered in the wind. Her long hair hung loosely behind her shoulders, and her face was as pale as a ghost. Because she had applied too much foundation, there was an obvious color difference between her face and her neck. She had brought a silk scarf with her.
Seeing the three children’s stunned expressions, the obvious anger on her face faded! She made a note to deal with these three naughty brats when they got home. “Babies, Mommy is here to pick you up. Cough, cough!”
When the adults saw her coming, they immediately brought the child over.
“You have to be more open-minded. The media has already come to conduct an interview about the house today. The public is sharp and will definitely give you justice. For the sake of the three children, you have to take good care of your health.”
Li An’an kept nodding her head. “Thank you. Thank you so much for taking care of the children for me. It’s very late now. I’ll bring them home.”
Li An’an held Li Baobao’s hand and asked Junjun and Jùnjùn to follow her home. The three little guys hung their heads low. Oh no, Mommy seemed to be angry.
When they reached the side of the road, Li An’an waited for the crowd to disperse before revealing a sullen expression. “Mommy is very angry. The consequences are very serious. Tell me, whose idea was it?”
Li An’an couldn’t be blamed for being angry. When she got home and saw that the three children weren’t around, she almost passed out. At that moment, it felt like the end of the world. She couldn’t imagine what she’d do if these three babies went missing. She wouldn’t be able to go on living.
She sniffled. “Mommy’s angry this time. Really angry.”
Li Baobao’s eyes turned red. What should she do? She had made her mommy cry. “Mommy, I wanted to help you get the money back. Don’t be angry, okay? I won’t do it again.” Tears welled up in Li Baobao’s beautiful eyes. The tip of her nose reddened, and she looked pitiful.
Li Junjun and Li Jùnjùn lowered their heads and played with their fingers, looking repentant.
Li An’an was determined not to be soft-hearted. This time, she definitely had to stay angry for two hours. She must ignore them so that they knew their mistake.
Li Junjun suddenly raised his head and pointed in the direction opposite them. “Mommy, those reporters are back. They want to interview you.”
Baobao looked up and said, “Uncle Reporter had already interviewed us. They gave us candies. I did as Mommy said and didn’t take candies from strangers, but I drank milk.”
Li An’an felt as if she was facing a formidable enemy. No, she couldn’t let the children be exposed, and she definitely couldn’t allow herself to be exposed standing next to them.
She hurriedly covered her face with a silk scarf and hustled the three babies along, at the same time hailing a taxi.
The woman and her three babies scrambled into the car. When the car started, the reporters were a step too late.
Li An’an heaved a sigh of relief. She had been frightened twice in a row today. Her heart felt unwell. If she had to do it again, she’d go crazy.
“Mommy, am I running very fast?” Li Baobao raised her calf, waiting for Li An’an to praise her.
Li An’an’s anger vanished. “Yes, Baobao is amazing. You have to be careful not to be photographed, understand?”
Li Baobao didn’t understand. “Mommy, why can’t I be on TV when I’m so pretty?”
Li An’an wondered how she was going to explain this.
Li Junjun said in a serious tone, “Because when the baddies see you, they’ll remember your appearance. They’ll capture you, turn you into a little rat and lock you up. Then you’ll never see Mommy again.”
Li Baobao shrank back into Li An’an’s arms in fear. How scary. She didn’t want to become a little rat.. Baobao was such a pretty baby!
