Chapter 172: Chapter 172

Ji Baby’s arms fiercely turned outward, his voice thick with tears as he sobbed and earnestly accused Ji Rui.

Listening to his son’s accusations, Ji Rui guessed that Le Tong must have used some methods to enchant his young and naïve son, making his precious boy stand on her side.

By now, Ji Rui was almost certain that the sister Ji Baby wanted to introduce to him as a girlfriend referred to Le Tong.

But, when did these two start getting involved with each other? How was it that he, the father, was completely unaware?

There was no need to think much; Le Tong must have been scheming to approach Ji Baby. Otherwise, with Ji Baby’s social circle, it would’ve been impossible for them to cross paths.

"Baby, you say she wouldn’t deceive you, but did she ever tell you she’s daddy’s secretary?"

From his understanding of his beloved son, if this little guy had known earlier that Le Tong was his secretary, this scene today would have played out much sooner. There would be no need for him to be constantly chased around saying he wanted to introduce a girlfriend!

After venting his emotions, Ji Baby temporarily stopped crying, his eyes reddened, pouting as he shook his head, "Sister didn’t know... it was Baby who told Sister." Get full chapters from N0veI.Fiɾe.net

Ji Rui internally sneered, already knowing she deliberately hid it from the little guy. Otherwise, a child as clever as Ji Baby wouldn’t be so easily duped.

"Baby, she has seen your photo and knows you’re daddy’s son."

Ji Rui remembered clearly that the second time Le Tong came to his house to cook, the living room was already adorned with a large photo of them. Besides, even if she hadn’t seen the picture, with Ji Baby closely resembling him by eighty to ninety percent, Le Tong couldn’t possibly mistake it.

The more Ji Rui thought about it, the more heartbroken he became.

He didn’t mind whatever tricks Le Tong used against him, but Ji Baby was just a five-year-old. Though precocious, naturally he couldn’t outwit Le Tong in scheming and intelligence.

Moreover, Ji Baby had little immunity to beautiful and gentle women; with the slightest fondness, he’d think of bringing one back as a mommy. In terms of being gentle and considerate, Le Tong undoubtedly could fake it flawlessly. Even Ji Rui had once been deceived by her meek and obedient pretense. Little did he know, she was actually a sharp-witted, cunning fox with a slick tongue!

Recalling how she berated him just now without even taking a breath, Ji Rui’s just relaxed brows furrowed again.

It seems a strategy must be devised to deal with Le Tong, otherwise, who knows what schemes she’ll hatch next to ensnare his son.

"Then it must be because daddy is too annoying, that Sister doesn’t want to bring him up... initially, Sister didn’t even want to pay attention to Baby, it was Baby who clung to Sister!" Ji Baby’s upturned little face was full of stubbornness.

Even after Ji Rui had said so much, Ji Baby still stubbornly believed that his Sister Le Tong genuinely cared for him, rather than being after something as his daddy suggested.

One must commend Ji Baby; in the ability to discern people’s hearts, he was much more accurate than his father, President Ji.

Le Tong had deceived him, but Baby believed those were benevolent deceptions. Just like how sometimes he’d pretend to be asleep when he saw his daddy was very tired, though in reality, he wasn’t sleepy at all.

In Ji Baby’s mind, everything was clear. After Brother Luo told him the truth, he understood that Sister had known him all along but refrained from approaching him for a certain reason.

Initially, Ji Baby couldn’t understand why Sister pretended not to recognize him, until just now when he saw his daddy harshly scolding and losing temper at Le Tong. He then understood it was definitely because his daddy was too detestable, that Sister didn’t want to get involved with him.

Ji Rui lowered his gaze to meet his son’s disdainful eyes, a warning bell loudly resounding in his heart.

In the past, whether at the Ji Family or outside, no matter what conflicts Ji Rui had with others, Baby would always side with him.

But now, Baby was turning his guns on him, persistently accusing him while speaking highly of Le Tong. It seemed the little guy was deeply poisoned, and this poison was called Le Tong.

"You said she initially ignored Baby, when did that happen?" Facing his son, who was deep in this matter, he needed a different strategy.

He tried to patiently piece together the context before convincing his son that Le Tong wasn’t a good person!

"Yifan Brothers birthday party, of course. It was Sister who bandaged White’s wound, and when Baby asked Sister for her number, she wouldn’t give it. Baby got Yilang Brother to get it for him. Later, when Little Bai was sick, and daddy didn’t have time to accompany Baby, Baby called Sister and cried in panic, then Sister agreed to go with Baby to see Little Bai."

On this matter, Ji Baby didn’t hide anything and even exaggerated a bit.

Ji Rui frowned. From Luo Yifan’s birthday to today, it was only about ten days. Le Tong was indeed formidable; in just ten days, she managed to captivate his beloved son into calling her mommy.

Moreover, judging by his son’s demeanor, it seemed no one else was suitable for the mommy role other than her!!

"The sister Baby wanted to introduce to daddy as a girlfriend, is that her?" Ji Rui closely watched his son’s eyes.

Ji Baby nodded vigorously, "Yeah, it’s Sister. Sister is very good to Baby, gentle, and knows how to tell stories."

Talking about Le Tong, Ji Baby seemed filled with praises.

Ji Rui was taken aback again; the relationship between his son and Le Tong had developed rapidly right under his nose, yet he hadn’t noticed at all.

"She even tells you stories? Since when?"

"At night, Baby would call Sister, and she’d tell stories to help Baby sleep." Ji Baby answered truthfully.

It dawned on Ji Rui that the reason his beloved son returned to his bedroom promptly at nine these nights was to call Le Tong.

"Doesn’t Sister Xinxin know how to tell stories?"

Ji Rui couldn’t understand. Mo Xin, who graduated in early childhood education, was also very pretty, with a cheerful and gentle personality. She should be more appealing to kids than Le Tong. But why didn’t his beloved son ever mention Mo Xin as a mommy candidate, whereas he was resolute about Le Tong, whom he had only met a few times?

"Sister Xinxin only knows how to tell stories about Pleasant Goat and Snow White, and Baby has already memorized those."

Mo Xin wasn’t bad to Ji Baby, but she always treated him like an ordinary five-year-old child, and her temperament was overly gentle, overly accommodating towards Ji Baby, which didn’t win his favor, was quite normal.

Unlike Le Tong, when it came to principles, she would never spoil Ji Baby. For instance, if she promised to tell a story for only ten minutes at night, she wouldn’t go on for eleven.

To Ji Baby, finding someone who would comply with his every demand wasn’t hard, but finding someone who could manage him and make him willingly comply was extremely difficult.

Such a person, apart from his daddy and Yang Sheng, was likely only Le Tong.
