The outstretched hand, however, was heavily slapped away when it was about to touch her arm.
"Le Tong!"
Ji Rui, although prepared to be disliked and loathed, did not expect her to express her disgust so directly.
"Don’t touch ! Spare your hands from getting dirty..."
Le Tong spoke indifferently, but the sense of distance and sarcasm in her words was so strong that Ji Rui found it hard to cope!
He stood in front of the hospital bed, montarily unsure of what to say or do.
Le Tong propped herself up and rang the bedside service bell in reverse.
Ji Rui looked deep into her eyes, "Le Tong, I’m sorry, I didn’t know..."
Le Tong glanced at him indifferently, interrupting his words, "Mr. Ji, whether you know or don’t know, it has nothing to do with . What I do, or don’t do, also has nothing to do with you."
Speaking, she raised her head and spoke to the nurse who ca in.
"Nurse Liu, could you please help buy a bento box, could you?"
The nurse nodded readily, "Sure, the usual flavor?"
"Yes, thank you."
Towards the nurse, Le Tong was quite amiable. But the mont she turned to Ji Rui standing by the bed, her face turned cold.
"Doctor Dong said you’re very weak. Whatever you want to eat I can have Xiao Li buy it, the hospital bento is hardly edible."
Ji Rui pretended not to notice her cold expression, tilting his seat to sit at the edge of the bed.
Le Tong blatantly ignored him, not looking at or addressing him, reached for her phone from the bedside table, opened it, and focused intently on browsing the web.
Ji Rui knew that whether being ignored or scolded, he deserved it, and couldn’t say anything. Seeing her ignoring him, he called Xiao Li in and instructed him to call Longxiang, asking Manager Chen to send so food and tonic according to Le Tong’s taste, whether she accepted or not.
Le Tong let him order Xiao Li around while she just casually finished the bento Nurse Liu helped buy. After eating, Le Tong still felt weak, but eager to see Baobao, she asked Nurse Liu to bring a wheelchair and have her pushed to the isolation ward.
Many tis Ji Rui wanted to offer help, but was coldly rejected by her words.
Rarely, Ji Rui thickened his skin to accompany Le Tong standing outside the isolation ward, "Baobao woke up just a mont ago, as soon as he opened his mouth, he was asking for you. When you fell asleep, I had soone take a picture of you and showed it to him, then he peacefully fell asleep again."
Regardless of whether Le Tong wanted to hear it or not, when it involved Baobao, surely she would want to listen.
Le Tong quietly stared unblinkingly through the glass at Baobao, her face full of worry.
No wonder she’s so worried; the two of them stood outside the isolation room for a full hour, yet Baobao didn’t move at all.
Both Ji Rui and Le Tong knew Baobao was a mischievous little one, not even sleeping calmly, often wrestling and rolling around like a battle on the bed. This kind of peaceful sleep was rarely seen.
"I have an MV of Baobao when he was little on my computer, want to see it?"
Ji Rui racked his brain and finally ca up with a topic to ease the atmosphere with Le Tong.
Le Tong didn’t hesitate to reply, "No."
It’s not that she was stubborn, refusing even her beloved son’s childhood MV; it’s that in Baobao’s cloud drive, there were all the photos and MVs of him since brought back to the Ji Family.
However, she would never tell this to Ji Rui.
Moreover, she had to quickly copy all the growth data, photos, and MVs related to Baobao from the cloud drive to her own before he found out.
It’s not surprising she’s so cold towards Ji Rui, for this man has misunderstood and distorted her again and again; her heart towards this man had long grown cold as ice.
Towards him, she didn’t even hold any unrealistic hopes of interacting normally.
After experiencing that long dream, she had secretly decided that in the future, she will never wear a false mask when facing Ji Rui.
Eventually, once Baobao was rehabilitated and discharged, she wouldn’t have to face this man day and night anymore. His guilt was the best, she could seize that chance to fight for more rights as Baobao’s mother.
However, the rights Le Tong spoke of were just the small things of occasionally seeing and accompanying Baobao.
Although utterly disappointed in Ji Rui, the agreent between her and him still existed and was in effect.
As long as Ji Rui gave leeway for her to et and interact with Baobao normally, she wouldn’t demand too much.
As for saying that day in anger she’d give Ji Rui five hundred thousand to return Baobao to her, though it was sincerely spoken, she understood that it’s impossible to achieve by any ans.
Since it can’t be achieved, she figured not to think about it anymore.
The tall man standing by the wheelchair, after being flat-out rejected, couldn’t find a suitable topic to continue chatting, so he rely stood silently next to her, his gaze alternating between the Baobao in the isolation room and the woman beside him.
Le Tong seed tireless, sitting outside the isolation ward for over two hours.
Seeing Baobao still asleep and gradually feeling fatigued again, Le Tong had soone push her back to the ward.
Manager Chen, following Xiao Li’s instructions, sent a bunch of delicious foods and tonics according to Le Tong’s taste, and Xiao Li, under Ji Rui’s direction, brought a steaming bowl of soup over to Le Tong.
It’s not that Ji Rui was unwilling to personally serve Le Tong the soup, but he was sure that if he personally handed the soup to Le Tong, she would surely refuse.
"Miss Le, the president said you’re very weak, please drink this soup to replenish your strength!"
Le Tong didn’t care whether it put Xiao Li in a difficult position, anyway, she had no intention of accepting it.
"Brother Li, I don’t need it."
Ji Rui dragged a chair directly to sit by her bedside, glancing at her pale and thin face, advising softly.
"Drink it, your health is really poor. When Baobao wakes up and sees you like this, it’ll pain him."
Ji Rui spoke those words with considerable artistry.
This made Le Tong, who was used to his harsh words, slightly surprised.
Turns out, he could speak with warmth at tis?
However, surprise aside, Le Tong was not moved by his gentle words.
Raising her eyelids to et his gaze, "I’m responsible for my poor health; there’s no need for Mr. Ji to worry. Besides, all your goodwill isn’t needed by , from now on, these pleasantries that give goosebumps, Mr. Ji can spare them!"
