"Hmm?!" Where did this beautiful big sister co from?
"The beautiful big sister who cooks really well... When will Daddy bring her back?"
Ji Rui was stunned for a mont. Beautiful big sister, is she referring to Le Tong?
Ji Rui didn’t understand why Ji Baby was so insistent on believing that the "old granny" in his mouth was actually a beautiful big sister.
He also didn’t understand why Ji Baby, who always only cared about "Mommy," was so fixated on a big sister he had never t.
"How many tis has Daddy told you? It’s not a big sister, it’s an old granny. Who told you it was a big sister?"
Ji Rui patted Ji Baby’s butt, his tone slightly harsher.
"Daddy, you’re lying!" Ji Baby said in his little voice, tapping Ji Rui’s nose with his finger, "Liars are little doggies!"
Ji Rui was amused but a bit annoyed, and he patted his butt again, "Who said Daddy is lying?"
Ji Baby giggled, "Daddy, is that big sister your girlfriend?"
Ji Rui was startled, "Who said that?"
Le Tong was just soone he had quickly brought ho to help cook two als temporarily. Saying she’s a girlfriend was too far-fetched, right? Exactly who instilled such an idea in Ji Baby?
"Isn’t it obvious? On TV, girlfriends also cook and clean for their boyfriends!"
Ji Baby smiled mischievously, seemingly smug about his cleverness.
Ji Rui’s face darkened, but he still patiently explained to his son, "That old granny is just like Sister Xin, a housekeeper."
Ji Baby’s little face was filled with mischievous amusent, clearly, he didn’t believe what Ji Rui was saying.
Ji Rui was too lazy to explain to his son anymore. Anyway, according to Baby’s interest level, he should soon lose interest in this "big sister."
...
Le Tong placed a stack of docunts needing Ji Rui’s signature in front of him. She bent over and pointed to a few items on the docunts, "President, I think these need so adjustnts, and this growth rate estimate is a bit too high..."
Ji Rui was listening to her report, but his eyes were fixed on her lowered profile.
Her tone was gentle, matched with her crisp and clean voice, just listening was a kind of enjoynt.
Her eyebrows were neither thick nor thin, with a very beautiful shape, but it was recognizable as natural beauty, not the result of so eyebrow pencil illusion. Her drooping lashes were long and thick, her nose side line was straight, her pink thin lips opened and closed with her words, the shape was sexy yet unique...
Just this face, by most n’s aesthetic standards, would score above ninety-five, right?
To be honest, this was the first ti Ji Rui looked so seriously at a woman and gave her a score.
Therefore, he didn’t know that in the pile of prominent socialites, the unique ethereal temperant of Le Tong combined with her exquisite pretty face could only be described with one word — enchanting.
But at this mont, Ji Rui sowhat understood why Zhuo Jiarui and Zhong Hao couldn’t take their eyes off Le Tong.
If such an eye-pleasing woman were a girlfriend, even if you didn’t love her, a man would surely feel happy. Because a girlfriend like this would imnsely satisfy a man’s desire for conquest and vanity!!
But, if such a woman were his girlfriend...
Ji Rui was startled by his own assumption, and quickly withdrew his gaze.
It seems he was poisoned by Ji Baby’s question, "Is big sister Daddy’s girlfriend?" which led to such an absurd assumption.
However, could it be that she, like Ji Baby thought, did all these things with the hope of becoming his girlfriend?
Ji Rui considered himself emotionally dense, so if his beloved son hadn’t reminded him, he wouldn’t have thought that maybe, perhaps, Le Tong had done so much because she secretly thought of herself as his girlfriend, or carried such extravagant hope and fantasy?
The possibility of these thoughts made Ji Rui feel uncomfortable, and unknowingly, his brows furrowed.
"President, are you uncomfortable?"
Le Tong was still saying sothing, but she inadvertently noticed the subtle change in his expression and asked out loud with concern.
She didn’t know when it started, but her concern for him seed to have beco a sort of instinct.
If he furrowed his brows, she would guess the cause.
The feeling of having one’s focus and emotions easily swayed by soone else was indeed terrible, especially when that person was the cold and heartless President Ji.
This hounded feeling of being led was really pitiful, but she couldn’t control herself.
Ji Rui looked into her clear eyes, and in that split second, he saw many complex expressions unfold within them. But he was never good at reading expressions, naturally unable to distinguish the exact emotions within those changes.
"No!"
Ji Rui shook his head but leaned slightly back against the chair, putting a bit of distance between himself and Le Tong.
He had to admit, being too close to Le Tong would lead him to be unconsciously enchanted by her, and then, without realizing it, he’d think of that night!
That soul-stirring night, at first, Ji Rui just considered it an occurrence where he failed to suppress his primal desires leading to an off-track accident.
Yet as ti went by, this off-track incident kept haunting him, almost like an obsession!
He didn’t understand her, so liking was out of the question.
Moreover, he didn’t think soone as cold as himself could be interested in another person outside his son, let alone think about liking them.
So, being drawn to her might just be because she seed skilled at charming n!
She was like this towards Zhuo Jiarui, towards Zhong Hao, and towards him as well.
The distance Ji Rui had created allowed Le Tong to suddenly feel a strong sense of separation, a thick and unbreakable wall built by Ji Rui’s implied distancing move between them.
Le Tong felt a bit hurt and silently cursed herself for worrying too much; it wasn’t her business whether he felt comfortable or not, why did she even bother speaking up?
Had she forgotten? This person was the best example of one who doesn’t recognize good intentions!
No matter what she did, he would think she had ill intentions!
"President, is your evening engagent as usual?" Le Tong sensibly stopped questioning Ji Rui about how he felt; she was sensitive, particularly towards Ji Rui, she seed even more so.
This realization left Le Tong feeling helpless, yet there was nothing she could do.
And the breeze-like gentle aura Ji Rui just felt from her turned into frost-like icy condensation in an instant.
"Hmm."
