When his wife said that, President Ji, who was a bit conflicted in his heart, imdiately surrendered and gave in completely.
Speaking of the guilt towards Da Bao, Ji Rui felt it even more than Le Tong did.
Years ago, Le Tong entrusted their newborn son to soone else because of life’s pressures; she had no choice.
As for him, he was extrely irresponsible back then, neglecting his son, causing him to suffer so much in the big house without realizing it. If it weren’t for the fact that Le Tong’s marrow matched their son’s, Ji Rui dared not imagine the cruel consequences.
So, just as Le Tong said, whatever Da Bao wants, they as parents really have no stance or face to obstruct him.
"I have no objections to this matter; as long as the two of them like each other, that’s enough."
Besides, even setting aside his own guilt towards Da Bao, Nuonuo this girl is the daughter he has treasured in his hands for so many years. Adding the future daughter-in-law status isn’t a big change at all.
Initially, Le Tong didn’t believe he adjusted so quickly. She scrutinized him carefully to confirm that President Ji truly accepted this fact.
A rare mont for Le Tong, she proactively and loudly kissed President Ji on the lips with a "mwah" sound.
Just like that, several major issues that Ji Dabao thought he had to face upon returning to his country, surprisingly, were each easily resolved. Whether it was Nuonuo or the family, they quickly accepted the matter between him and Nuonuo in a way that surprised him.
Of course, as their mother, Le Tong had no objections to their relationship change, but she didn’t forget any reminders she needed to give.
While Nuonuo practiced piano, Le Tong asked Da Bao to accompany her in the garden to prune the roses.
Da Bao is very smart, he knew right away that mom had sothing to discuss privately with him.
There, Le Tong was still organizing her words as she fussed with the flower branches, while on this side, Da Bao, who had already trimd a few overgrown branches, took the initiative to ask.
"Mommy, do you have sothing you want to tell ?"
During dinner, whether it was because Le Tong ordered it or not, the whole family of five sat and ate together, laughing as usual. No one ntioned the issue between Da Bao and Nuonuo, not even Little Treasure, who usually had a sharp tongue, ntioned changing how he called Nuonuo to sister-in-law.
In Da Bao’s heart, there was always a clear understanding. He thought that mom was considerate of Nuonuo’s thin face, so she specially instructed Dad and Little Treasure not to speak out of line.
Now that everyone has dispersed, mom pulled him out individually, it must be sothing important she wanted to add or emphasize specifically.
Le Tong looked at the full tree of flower buds, and felt reluctance to pinch so off. But without doing so, few of these buds would bloom brilliantly.
Thinking of this, Le Tong hardened her heart and picked so small buds to pinch off, and with what she had deliberated, she slowly spoke out.
"Baby, Nuonuo is only fifteen years old, you need to control yourself! Don’t make your daddy and chase you out with a broom!"
The implication was that even though you are my son, that doesn’t allow you to do whatever you want.
Obviously, when Le Tong said this, she was speaking from the position of Nuonuo’s mom. At this mont, Ji Dabao was the newly dating boyfriend of her daughter, not her son.
"Mommy, got it. It’s like you don’t want to pinch these buds but still have to do it ruthlessly. Nutrients are limited, and too many buds early on will deplete these nutrients; when it cos ti to bloom, few flowers will look good."
Actually, what Da Bao was anxious about was just confirming his relationship with Nuonuo. As for those things mommy hinted at, he was confident enough in his self-control that he wouldn’t do anything beastly before Nuonuo cos of age.
If anyone asked who loved Nuonuo the most in this world, there’s no doubt it would be him, Ji Dabao. Because of this imnse love, he couldn’t bring himself to harm her in the slightest, whether it be emotionally or confirming their relationship physically, he wouldn’t rush her.
Le Tong nodded in satisfaction; indeed, the young one could be taught!
But Da Bao’s confidence was heavily shaken on the first night of exchanging feelings.
Le Tong and Da Bao fussed in the garden for over an hour, and when they returned inside, Nuonuo, who had finished practicing piano, was sitting back to back with Little Treasure on the sofa, playing gas on the iPad.
Seeing Da Bao enter, Little Treasure imdiately complained.
"Brother, co take over and play for Sister for a while! Sigh... with teammates as stupid as pigs, they’ve really lowered my intelligence."
Da Bao wasn’t interested in getting involved with the little ones’ business, he tilted his head and pointed to the bedroom, "You guys play, I’ll go shower, my own stink is making want to throw up."
Nuonuo lifted her eyelids and looked at his striding away back, then said to Little Treasure in a low voice, "Little Treasure, do you think Brother finds stupid?"
Little Treasure rolled his eyes, "Ji Sihan, that’s enough. In this room, no, in this world, no one knows your intelligence level better than Brother. So, knowing how you are and still wholeheartedly secretly loved you for so many years, it only ans Brother loves you deeply. If there was any slight disdain in his mind, he would’ve long freed himself, would he? Would he have bothered to return bitterly to coax you after leaving for three years?"
Nuonuo was dumbfounded by Little Treasure’s scolding, holding the iPad and drifting for a long while before slowly digesting his words.
"Little Treasure, are you really only thirteen years old? How do you know so much?"
She always thought Little Treasure knew more about academic and theoretical knowledge; she never imagined he understood human emotions so clearly, even matters of the heart that he hadn’t experienced yet.
The genuine praise from Sister made Little Treasure get goosebumps.
"I am not you, dummy!"
Little Treasure had been scolded by Da Bao many tis for occasionally calling Nuonuo a dummy, so for quite a while, he hardly ever called her that. During the three years Da Bao was away, he went back to doing so recklessly.
And being called a dummy actually cald Nuonuo’s restless heart unexpectedly.
She knew well that Brother scolding her as a dummy was just out of concern.
"Ji Sihan, listen up, n of the Ji Family are all good n who cherish won. Daddy is, Brother is, and I am too. I won’t let anyone off easily if they bully you!"
Little Treasure, when it ca to his Sister, was a typical ’sharp-tongued but soft-hearted’ person.
Hearing the unease in Sister’s feelings, he instinctively took up the stance of a Flower Guardian.
Nuonuo chuckled, "Little Treasure, if Brother bullies , will you also make it hard for him?"
Little Treasure’s protective instinct touched Nuonuo. She also realized his words ca from the heart and were not just to comfort her, and all this protectiveness stemd from the precious family love.
"Of course!" Little Treasure answered without a mont’s hesitation.
