Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife Chapter 340 Daddy Will Be Heartbroken (Second Update)
Yang Sheng laughed even more cheekily, "Is there anyone who’s really important? Didn’t you dismiss everyone?"
Ji Rui was taken aback, "Why are you so sure?"
Ji Rui had no idea that when Yang Sheng received the call from Ji Baby and figured out the little guy’s intentions, he imdiately declined politely.
"Baby, you’re making it hard for your Uncle Sheng, you know?"
"It’s fine, Uncle Sheng, you just have to sit there. Daddy definitely won’t let you two succeed."
Even Ji Baby was so confident. Yang Sheng was even more convinced that a man like Ji Rui wouldn’t care about anyone, but in reality, Ji Rui himself wasn’t so sure.
If it were anyone else, Ji Rui might have been entirely confident, but if that person was Le Tong, Ji Rui’s confidence took a huge hit.
After all, it was his past self that was too annoying, having done so many excessive things. Now, rely erasing the barrier in her heart has beco a big challenge.
"Tsk, looks like I guessed wrong!"
With his sharp eyes, Yang Sheng managed to sense a bit of lancholy from Ji Rui’s slight silence.
"What’s the decision on the the park’s opening ceremony?"
Ji Rui didn’t like people dwelling on his sore spots, so he changed the topic at the right ti.
"Now we’re down to three options, will you make the final decision yourself?"
Yang Sheng knew this the park was a gift from Ji Rui to Ji Baby, so he handed the final decision back to Ji Rui.
"Hmm, send it to my email."
As Yang Sheng left Ji Rui’s office, Le Tong was sitting at her desk, intently going through so docunts.
"Tongtong, when are you going to invite over to your new place?"
Le Tong didn’t even look up, "Whenever."
"Why not today? No better ti than now," Yang Sheng leaned against her desk, trying to see what she was working on.
"Can’t do tonight, I’ve got a pile of things to do."
Le Tong looked up from her stack of files; earlier, she had grabbed a bunch more from Ji Rui’s desk, estimating she’d have to take so ho to work on tonight.
Yang Sheng glanced at the pile on her desk and felt overwheld just looking at it.
"Is Rui trying to ss with you? Why do you have so much work?"
Le Tong rolled her eyes at him and gently pushed him away, "Senior, if you want to have a al, ask Ji Baby. He should be free this Saturday."
Yang Sheng stood up straight, "Okay, I get it, I’m just being nosy."
"Who else finds you nosy?"
"Besides your..." catching Le Tong’s disapproving look, Yang Sheng quickly corrected himself, "Boss! Who else?"
Le Tong showed no interest in the gossip about Ji Rui, shrugged it off, and returned to her work. Seeing she’d completely left him out, Yang Sheng found it boring to stick around and said goodbye to Le Tong before leaving.
With Le Tong busy like that, the end of the workday ca quickly. She hurriedly packed her things, and just as the door sound echoed, Ji Rui’s voice followed.
"Le Tong, Ji Baby just called and asked to help fix his ga console."
So, naturally, Ji Rui went with Le Tong back to her new ho.
Although Le Tong always doubted whether Ji Baby’s ga console was actually broken, she couldn’t just expose the duo’s coordinated act.
After Ji Rui entered, the father-son pair fiddled with Le Tong’s ga console, on which she hadn’t even figured out how to work the power button. Le Tong joined in the fun for a mont trying to understand, but in the end, she couldn’t make sense of anything, shook her head, and left them to enter the kitchen.
"Mommy, don’t forget to cook for Daddy," Ji Baby’s voice followed closely.
"Got it..." Le Tong responded reluctantly.
Looking at it, Ji Rui seed more like he was here to freeload a al than to fix a ga console, didn’t he?
After more than half an hour, Le Tong brought out the soup pot.
The father-son duo was still huddled on the floor working together, and it really didn’t seem like they were putting on a show.
"Not fixed yet? Let’s eat first!"
Ji Baby jumped up, "Yay, finally ti to eat."
As he ran over to her side, Le Tong smiled and ruffled his head.
"Starving?"
Ji Baby nodded vigorously, "So hungry, Mommy’s food is especially delicious! And it makes hungry very fast!"
Le Tong pinched his cheek, "You’re just being cheeky!"
Ji Rui walked over and chid in, "Ji Baby’s right, your cooking is so easy to digest that it makes you hungry quickly."
He said this while picking up Ji Baby and weighing him, "Easy to digest ans easy to absorb, Ji Baby’s gained quite so weight."
Ji Baby flashed three fingers proudly, "Gained three pounds!"
Ji Rui glanced at Le Tong, "Thank you for your hard work."
Le Tong was truly tired of his politeness, "Mr. Ji, can you stop being so formal? Ji Baby’s gained three pounds because his appetite’s improved, not because I lost three pounds of at from my body!"
Ji Rui eyed her slender figure, "I seriously suspect it ca from you, seeing how thin you’ve beco!"
Le Tong couldn’t stand the caring look in his eyes any longer, didn’t dare look at him, or interact with him, and turned to bring out the cooked dishes from the kitchen.
"Le Tong, how about this, I’ll have Aunt Guan co over every afternoon for two or three hours to help look after Ji Baby, and a bit of household chores. You still manage Ji Baby’s als, okay?"
During dinner, Ji Rui brought up the old topic again.
Watching her get thinner day by day, his heart ached terribly.
But her stubbornness left him with no way to intervene.
He thought about sharing so of her work burden, but after barely trying for a couple of days, she quickly spotted it and firmly refused.
He wanted to hire a nanny to help take care of Ji Baby, but she rejected the idea completely.
Facing her, even with his myriad of skills, he was helpless.
Previously, Ji Baby had always refused a nanny to care for him, but as he noticed Le Tong’s struggle, he quickly set down his bowl to back up Ji Rui’s suggestion.
"Mommy, let Aunt Guan co help you, you work too hard, and Ji Baby’s heart hurts for you!"
Hearing her son say that, Le Tong pulled him into a hug, their cheeks rubbing against each other.
Ji Rui watched the tender interaction of the mother and son with deep envy for Ji Baby, who could be so direct with his feelings and received a kiss from Le Tong.
Looking at himself, even when he cared about her and felt for her, he didn’t dare to say it out loud. Naturally, he couldn’t hope for any affectionate gestures from Le Tong.
Ji Rui now truly realized what it ant to reap what you sow.
"Le Tong, you see, even Ji Baby says so..." Ji Rui knew he couldn’t persuade Le Tong on his own, so he borrowed Ji Baby’s na to persuade her.
"Mommy, just agree with Daddy... Daddy’s heart would feel the sa as Ji Baby’s..."
[Ugh, thought I’d have a bit of free ti these days, but turns out it’s busier than ever, ten updates behind... speechless, let Rong Zhuzi calm down, good night, ladies!]
