Accompanying the voice was the long shadow cast over the two of them.
"Daddy!"
Before Le Tong could react, Ji Baby had already let go of her hand and rushed over to hug Ji Rui’s leg.
"Baby, whose boyfriend is it?" Ji Rui picked up Ji Baby and held him in his arms, his eyes fixed on Le Tong who was already standing up.
"Daddy, you ca just in ti. Baby is introducing a boyfriend for Mommy, you should help take a look too."
Ji Rui frowned, montarily thinking he had heard wrong.
"Introducing a boyfriend for your Mommy?"
Baby seed oblivious to his daddy’s frown, pointing towards the room with excitent and responding, "Yes! Daddy, you should go have a look too, it’s Uncle Lu and the others, you know all of them!"
Ji Rui gave Le Tong a cold glance, his tone extrely unhappy, "Your Mommy asked you to introduce him?"
With a sharp gaze, he gave Le Tong a severe sweep.
This woman, what exactly is she up to? Is she trying to provoke him? Or is she just feeling lonely?
In the mont their eyes t, Le Tong clearly read emotions of anger and uncertainty in his eyes, but she had no intention of explaining herself.
"Ask Baby..." Le Tong shrugged innocently, indicating she had nothing to say.
Usually, Baby was excellent at reading expressions, but at the mont he seed to ignore Ji Rui’s questioning and dissatisfaction, intimately hugged Ji Rui’s neck, and leaned in to give a "mwah" on Ji Rui’s tense face.
"It’s Baby who wants to introduce him to Mommy! Daddy, think about it, other kids only have one Daddy and one Mommy, but Baby is amazing, besides Daddy and Mommy there’ll also be a stepdad and stepmom..."
"Shut up!" Ji Rui suddenly interrupted Baby’s enthusiastic words, unusually furious.
"Who said they wanted to find you a stepmom?" Ji Rui glared fiercely at his son.
Ji Rui rarely scolds Baby, this ti he couldn’t help but make him shut up, probably really angry by Baby’s words and actions.
But Baby was not afraid of him at all, glanced at him coolly, and said, "The whole country knows..."
Clearly, Baby believed Ji Rui was pretending to be clueless.
Ji Rui furrowed his brows, his patience almost worn thin by Baby, turned to look at Le Tong, "What does Baby an by his words?"
Le Tong pursed her lips, "How would I know, you ask him."
Le Tong obviously knew Baby was unhappy about the newspaper report labeling Ji Rui and CoCo as an engaged couple, but she didn’t want to get involved in this murky water between the father and son.
No wonder Baby, who was already angry about this matter, appeared unperturbed in the past few days, turns out he was plotting such a revenge.
However, this father and son can fight all they want, why did they have to rope her in?
It wasn’t until now that Le Tong realized she had been sched by her beloved son.
Initially, she had no plan of getting a boyfriend, but seeing Ji Rui, this man who remained calm even with a mountain crumbling in front of him, being infuriated by Baby, and then seeing the little guy’s proud blinking eyes, her mischievous nature suddenly surged.
"Baby, let’s go, don’t keep your Uncle Lu and the others waiting too long."
Speaking, she stretched her arms out to hold Baby.
Baby cooperatively leaned towards her, while Ji Rui holding him unexpectedly turned around and strode towards the private room.
He wanted to see who dared to snatch people from his hands.
Le Tong hurriedly followed behind Ji Rui, while Baby lying on Ji Rui’s shoulder was using his hands to make faces at Le Tong.
Le Tong smiled happily, well, since her beloved son wanted to play, let’s play then, and relieve so of the pent-up frustration created by Mr. Demon Ji.
As Ji Rui walked forward with large strides, he was unaware that his son was plotting with Le Tong against him behind his back, if he knew Baby was teaming up with Le Tong to sche against him, he’d probably be furious enough to have his mustache stand on end.
Ji Rui carried Baby straight to the private room door, without knocking, he directly pushed the door open and entered.
The eight handso n in the lounge all stood up upon hearing the door open.
All because these handso n had a great first impression of the attractive and elegant Le Tong, plus connecting with Le Tong was akin to connecting with Ji Baby, a notable figure.
Don’t underestimate Ji Baby, though he’s just a five-year-old little kid, he is extrely favored within the Ji Family, a fact everyone is aware of, and reportedly Ji Baby has super high IQ and EQ, and can speak with great influence in front of Mr. Ji and Ji Rui.
So, when these social elites received Baby’s invitation, noting it was essentially a matchmaking dinner for selecting a stepdad, they eagerly accepted.
Standing in the living room, the eight handso n had their expressions changed slightly upon seeing Ji Rui carrying Baby walk in.
After all, the person they were supposed to date was Ji Baby’s mommy, aning she was Mr. Ji’s ex-girlfriend. Even if she was an "ex", it still made them feel awkward and guilty.
Ji Rui’s expression didn’t change at all, just as cold and frosty as usual.
His icy gaze swept over the row of standing handso n, secretly grinding his teeth in frustration.
Good job, Le Tong, with all sorts for choosing freely, are you really picking a boyfriend, or indeed choosing male pets to establish a harem?!
"Mr. Ji..." The n in the lounge almost in unison greeted Ji Rui.
Ji Rui acted as if he hadn’t heard everyone’s greetings, coldly swept over them, holding Baby, went directly to the lounge and sat on the sofa.
"What are you all doing? Playing Mahjong?"
Following him inside, Le Tong was unexpectedly amused into laughter by his words.
Ji Rui raised his eyelids to glare at her, Le Tong quickly lowered her eyes, swiftly hiding the little smugness similar to Baby’s expression within her eyes.
The eight n exchanged bewildered looks, after a lengthy and awkward silence, it was Lu Fan who finally broke the deadlock.
He stepped forward with a smile and extended his hand towards Ji Rui.
"Brother Ji, congratulations! No wonder you always act so virtuous with a pure heart and few desires like a monk. Turns out your wife is not only pretty but also of such high status. When are you planning to marry? We’re ready with big red envelopes to celebrate at the wedding!"
Ji Rui was completely confused, turned his head to look at Le Tong.
For a mont, he thought the wife Lu Fan was referring to was Le Tong.
Hmm, she was indeed pretty, but since when did she have such a big background? She’s just an ordinary person, right?
The confusion in Ji Rui’s mind was answered by Dong Ming’s question.
"Mr. Ji, I heard that the Ji Family is preparing to collaborate with your wife’s family to establish a new telecommunications and technology group in Y Country. Is Ji Family planning to shift the investnt market to Y Country?"
Y Country is indeed where CoCo is from, and Ji Rui himself has a quarter of Y Country’s heritage.
"Who said the Ji Family is going to establish a telecommunications and technology group in Y Country?"
