[Chapter 329] Got it, housekeeper! (First update)
"I know, the things I’ve done have left you with a very negative impression of . I’m not asking you to forgive the person I was in the past. I just hope you understand that the current has realized a lot and truly understands who you are. In the past, I purely guessed your thoughts based on my subjective notions. From now on, I won’t do that anymore."
As for saying Ji Rui is slow, or a fool, it really only applies to matters of the heart, or more accurately, when it cos to Le Tong.
He’s genuinely intelligent and perceptive, with his own thods for handling people and matters. Otherwise, he couldn’t have taken control of the Ji Family from Mr. Ji in just a few years.
Although, in the end, Mr. Ji handed over the Ji Family’s authority to him only after he brought back Ji Baby. But that was rely his way to officially ascend to the CEO position of the Ji Family. In reality, he had already taken control of most of the Ji Family’s personnel and administrative affairs. By the ti he officially took over from Mr. Ji, around seventy to eighty percent of the Ji Family’s middle and upper managent were his confidants. Hence, he was able to elevate the Ji Family from a dostic ranking of over ten to the current third place within just five short years of leadership.
As smart as he is, he certainly understands how powerful prejudice can be. Therefore, despite being the sa person, he insists on differentiating between the past and present Ji Rui.
This approach is ant to create an illusion—no matter how wrong the past Ji Rui was, he’s beco a thing of the past. From now on, the current Ji Rui is an unknown, a renewed individual, who should be viewed and approached with fresh perspectives and attitudes.
In the past, he had misunderstood Le Tong repeatedly due to his prejudice.
Now, he doesn’t dare hope Le Tong would forgive those past mistakes, but he wishes she wouldn’t view the current him with the scornful eyes ant for his forr offensive self.
Le Tong looked at him with slight surprise; in the past, except for scolding her or discussing work, Ji Rui rarely said so much in one breath, and such deep and thought-provoking words too.
Seeing her expression that no longer showed retreat or avoidance, but instead a kind of intrigue, Ji Rui realized she had absorbed what he said, although from her slightly puzzled expression, she hadn’t fully comprehended it yet.
"That’s all I want to say today, think it over."
Ji Rui noticed her obvious relief, a faint darkness flickered in his eyes, he sighed inwardly, rose to walk towards the bedroom door, opened it, and slipped inside.
"Baby!"
Ji Baby, lying on the bed with his cheeks resting on his hands, engrossed in watching ani, imdiately sat up with bright eyes upon hearing the door.
"Daddy, finished talking?"
His little face was full of anticipation and hope.
Seeing his son’s shining face, Ji Rui felt a pang of reluctance, knowing that the outco this little guy hoped for might require much further effort to achieve.
"Yes, finished talking."
Considering Le Tong’s current level of resistance towards him, that’s as much as they could discuss.
Of course, he’s as anxious as his son since her impressive qualities are there, apart from Ji Rui, many admire her. Near, there’s Yang Sheng; a bit further, there’s Luo Yifan, Zhong Hao, and the eight n downstairs... just thinking about these known and unknown potential rivals makes his heart burn with discomfort.
But he’s very aware, impatience won’t get him anywhere.
After acting so excessively towards her, her opinion of him has dropped to an extrely low level. If today’s topic went further, not only would it not be effective, but it would make her as startled as a frightened bird, darting to a place entirely out of his reach, then he’d truly have no place to vent his feelings.
Ji Baby stood up, extending his arms to wrap around Ji Rui’s neck, his dark eyes staring straight into his.
"Has mommy agreed?" Ji Baby blinked at him.
"Not yet..." Ji Rui didn’t want to lie to his son, nor could he, knowing the little guy is so clever that so random answer won’t fool him.
Ji Baby’s excited little face imdiately fell.
Ji Rui tugged at his lips, smiling as he patted his son’s face to comfort him.
"No rush..."
Indeed, there’s no rush!
Although his current impression in her mind isn’t high, he not only has the advantage of being on the other side of the wall at work but also the strong backing of his son.
His advantages surpass those other guys by several lengths!
Therefore, he’s truly in no hurry, taking it slow is fine!
Of course, this is only because the current situation only allows him to progress at such a snail’s pace.
Otherwise, given his usual style of swift and decisive action, he would definitely be even more impatient than his son, confess, and then directly haul her to the civil registry for registration, sealing the deal.
Ji Baby, filled with frustration, pouted and reached out to pinch Ji Rui’s cheeks forcefully, whined, "Dummy... Daddy is a big dummy..."
Ji Rui wasn’t angry, easily lifted Ji Baby and hugged him.
"Yes! Daddy’s a fool, that’s why he has you, this little fool!" Ji Rui laughed, patting the little guy’s behind.
Ji Baby raised his chin proudly, "Well, I’m not a little fool. I’m smart like Mommy! I’m the little genius!"
Ji Rui laughed even more heartily, his usual cold and stern deanor transford into a crescent moon smile, "Of course! Ji Yu young man is the little genius!"
The father and son laughed and played as they walked into the living room, seeing Le Tong directing the waiter to set the food on the table. Apparently, the two were so engrossed in their conversation inside the bedroom that they didn’t even hear the doorbell.
"Mommy, what delicious food do we have?"
Ji Baby, his stomach growling, had hoped more for Daddy to win back Mommy than having a al, which is why he held back without uttering a word. But seeing the table full of steaming dishes with enticing aromas, his foodie nature imdiately surfaced.
He jumped from Ji Rui’s arms and hugged Le Tong from behind, she hurriedly supported his bottom.
"Lots and lots, all are Ji Baby’s favorites!"
Ji Baby lay on Le Tong’s back for a mont, then instinctively slid down to stand on the chair, his little paw reaching straight for the Kyoto ribs.
Le Tong’s fast reflexes snapped his little hand away with a loud "slap". "Go wash your hands first!"
Ji Baby, pouting and facing Le Tong’s insistent gaze, had no option but to comply. "Alright, housekeeper!"
