Chapter 170: Chapter 170

Le Tong was speechless about this, but had no choice and let him complain about Ji Rui’s shortcomings while clinging to her. Eventually, the squatting Le Tong got tired and simply sat on a chair, pulling him onto her lap.

At this moment, Le Tong was completely captivated by Ji Baby, almost losing herself. She surprisingly forgot about her headache and the awkward situations that might arise when facing Ji Rui’s questions next.

The usually austere and solemn office surprisingly displayed a rare scene full of warmth and love. The pretty and charming woman smiled as she held the chirping and giggling handsome young boy, her eyes brimming with tenderness and doting. The young boy, with his hands tightly around the woman’s waist, leaned gently in her embrace, his pure and adorable smile like that of an angel. The scene was as harmonious and beautiful as a painting.

This harmonious and beautiful scene was quickly shattered by the ringing phone on Le Tong’s desk.

Le Tong glanced at the caller ID, put away her smile, placed a finger on her lips as a sign for Ji Baby to stay quiet, then freed her hand to pick up the phone, "President, what’s the matter?"

"Come in!" The man on the other end of the line ordered succinctly before hanging up directly.

Ji Baby rested his chin on Le Tong’s shoulder. He heard his daddy’s words on the phone clearly.

After putting down the phone, Le Tong started to worry, now, what should she do?

Baobao was here to look for Ji Rui anyway, and now they definitely had to go in. If she went in with him, wouldn’t that be exposing everything?

Ji Rui wasn’t as easy to fool as Ji Baby, or rather, Ji Rui wasn’t willing to be fooled like Ji Baby was, so no matter what she said, it would be wrong!

Le Tong frowned, thinking of countermeasures, but Ji Baby was not worried at all and jumped off Le Tong quickly, pulling her hand and saying, "Sister, let’s go, Baobao will go in with you!" ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ Nov3lFɪre.ɴet

Le Tong looked at Ji Baby. The little guy looked innocent and unaware of the approaching storm.

But then again, he’s Ji Rui’s son and just a five-year-old child. Whatever happens, it’s definitely all her problem. No matter how fierce the storm, it won’t blow on him.

Ah, whatever happens, happens. Better to face it sooner than later!

Le Tong thought pessimistically, allowing Ji Baby to pull her towards the president’s office.

Reaching the door, Le Tong lifted her hand, prepared to knock with a sense of accepting fate, but before her hand could touch the door, Ji Baby had already turned the knob and dragged her in.

Ji Rui, who was seated behind the desk focused on the documents, didn’t look up. He probably heard the door, lowered his head, and said to Le Tong, "The investment plan for the East District needs to be redone, take it to the planning department."

Before Le Tong could respond, Ji Baby spoke first, "Daddy!"

Ji Rui, with his head down, was slightly startled. He looked up sharply, his eyes wide as he stared at his beloved son.

Upon seeing Ji Baby tightly holding Le Tong’s hand, his heart sank, and his thick brows suddenly knotted.

"Le Tong, explain! What’s going on with you and Baobao?" His cold gaze was like two sharp arrows, shooting straight at Le Tong.

The good mood accumulated from the box of coffee vanished without a trace!

Since he had that drunken encounter with her, he had been wary, but after her few minor stirs, she seemed to settle down. Lately, she was frequently associated with different men ambiguously, which made him think she had shifted her target, never expecting that she had changed her approach instead?

He never thought her schemes were even more complex than he could imagine!

Did she really think of approaching him through his son?

Nice move! Absolutely incredible!

Hearing his icy voice, Le Tong felt a chill run through her heart, realizing the situation she least wanted to encounter was inevitably happening.

Now, who knows what this man would think of her again.

In fact, she had envisioned this scenario from the moment she soft-heartedly agreed to meet Ji Baby in secret.

Honestly, associating with Ji Baby got her nothing of tangible benefit. Yet, knowing it was a foolish act with no gain whatsoever, she couldn’t resist her heart’s desire to get closer to Ji Baby, hence always harbored a lucky mindset, deceiving herself into believing she could deceive Ji Rui and secretly interact with Ji Baby.

But paper cannot wrap up fire, and once the fire starts, she has to put it out!

Le Tong took a deep breath, licked her lips, and gathered her courage to explain the whole story. However, her hand was tugged by Ji Baby, suddenly pulling her to stand firmly in front of Ji Rui.

Le Tong hadn’t expected Ji Baby to have such strength, lowering her head, she looked at the little guy in surprise.

But Ji Baby didn’t look at her, instead, he raised his stubborn little face and defiantly spoke to Ji Rui, who was wearing a cold expression.

"Daddy, I woman! If you don’t marry her, then I will!"

His words were said with great force, resounding loud and clear, stunning Le Tong, and even momentarily taking Ji Rui aback.

His deep, enigmatic eyes fixed on his son in silence for a long while, and the air in the office seemed to stagnate instantly, with a heavy, oppressive atmosphere.

Ji Baby, however, stared back at Ji Rui unblinkingly. Seeing Baobao remain undeterred, Ji Rui pursed his lips without uttering a sound, then shifted his gaze to Le Tong’s face.

His eerie green eyes exuded a wolf-like ferocity, landing directly on Le Tong’s face, as he lightly pulled at the corner of his lips into a cold smile!

Damn it!! This woman had such audacity, failing to lure him, she turned to deceive his son in an attempt to marry into a wealthy family?

In fact, he underestimated her quite a bit!

"Outrageous! Ji Yu, come here!"

Ji Rui glared and scolded, reaching out a big hand, he swiftly grabbed Ji Baby. Like an eagle snatching a chick, Ji Baby was promptly seized and securely restrained on his thigh.

With Ji Rui holding his waist, Ji Baby, very unwillingly, shouted, "Daddy’s a big bad guy, daddy’s a bad person! Since you don’t want to marry her, then let Baobao marry her!" His body wiggled like an eel, his hands and feet pounding vigorously on Ji Rui’s body and legs.

Angered, Ji Rui’s face turned livid, his single hand tightly holding onto Ji Baby, yet the fierce gaze never left Le Tong’s ashen face.

"Le Tong, you’re something! Seducing me wasn’t enough, you even dare to seduce my son?!" Ji Rui spat through gritted teeth, word by word.

His precious son’s nonsense was merely innocent words without real meaning. But what Le Tong intended by approaching Baobao was as obvious as Sima Zhao’s ill intentions known to everyone!

Not to mention his precious son’s young age, making marriage impossible anyway.

Ji Rui, the dignified head of Ji Family, couldn’t possibly share a woman with his son?!
