Chapter 200: Chapter 200
This kid, he’s just too handsome for his own good. When he grows up, who knows how he’ll wreak havoc!
Ji Baby playfully blinked his pretty, bright eyes. "Sister, am I really handsome?!"
Le Tong burst out laughing, she really couldn’t imagine that Ji Rui, such a serious and old-fashioned man could raise such a cheeky, quirky kid!
"Yes indeed! No one in the whole world is as handsome as Ji Baby!"
Le Tong spoke with a hint of helplessness, but her tone was wholeheartedly doting.
Ji Baby smirked and cast a sideways glance at Ji Rui leaning against the door.
"Am I handsomer than Daddy?"
Le Tong secretly cursed in her heart that President Ji is a demon in wolf’s clothing, whereas the baby is truly a little angel; they’re not comparable at all!
Facing the man, Le Tong didn’t speak her inner thoughts out loud; she knows the times and circumstances. Right now, if she angers Ji Rui, it’s of no benefit to her.
The man behind her, though mentally prepared to hear such an answer, felt a little displeased when faced with his beloved son’s smug yet slightly challenging gaze.
Ji Rui stretched his back and reached out his hand, trying to pinch his son’s cheek.
Ji Baby giggled and buried his face in Le Tong’s embrace, and Le Tong turned to glance at Ji Rui.
Ji Rui raised an eyebrow at her, "Ji Baby takes after me!"
Implicitly meaning that since Ji Baby is handsome, how could his father not be handsome?
Le Tong gave him another sideways glance, calmly saying, "Ji Baby doesn’t have dark circles!"
Ji Rui was nearly infuriated to the point of spitting blood by Le Tong’s words. The ever-confident man couldn’t resist touching under his eyes, stepping forward, leaning behind Le Tong to check himself in the mirror. "I think it’s okay!"
Ji Baby poked his head out from under Le Tong’s arm, made a face at him, "Sister said they are, so they are. Daddy’s panda eyes are ugly, very ugly!"
After saying this, he even stuck out his tongue at him!
Ji Rui reached out to pat his cheek, "Ji Baby, are you closer with Daddy or Sister? Helping outsiders say Daddy is ugly?!"
Ji Baby used his fingers to peel back his eyelids and made another face at him, "Ji Baby is closer to Sister! Sister isn’t an outsider, Ji Baby wants Sister to be Mommy!"
These words actually pleased Ji Rui, he pinched his cheek, excusing his disobedience.
Le Tong froze upon hearing this, "Ji Baby..."
Ji Rui knew Le Tong would want to get serious about this matter again, quickly reaching out to pull Ji Baby away from her chest, interrupting her words, "Ji Baby, let’s go out first, let Sister wash her face."
"Oh..." Ji Baby obediently wrapped his arms around his neck and was carried out by him.
Le Tong realized, dealing with one Ji Baby was already overwhelming, adding Ji Rui to the mix, father and son were collaborating together, even two of her might not win against them.
Putting her head down, she splashed warm water onto her face, starting to regret coming back to the hotel with Ji Rui.
If she had known Ji Baby was here, she wouldn’t have come back with Ji Rui even if she was beaten to death.
Clearly, Ji Baby is Ji Rui’s son, yet inexplicably became her vulnerability.
Although surprised at Ji Baby’s immense influence over her, Le Tong had accepted this reality amidst the days of longing and self-blame.
Slowly washing her face, and racking her brains for a way to escape, until Ji Baby’s loud call echoed in.
"Sister, it’s time for dinner!"
Before Le Tong could respond, Ji Baby already dashed over, poking his head through the door, "Sister, are you shy?"
Le Tong rolled her eyes in her heart, what on earth has this little brat been exposed to usually, speaking words that resemble those of a little adult, easily provoking wild imaginations?
"Shy your head, why would Sister be shy?"
Le Tong walked out and patted his head, then got dragged by him despite herself toward the dining room.
Ji Baby tilted his head, eyes squinting with a smile as he glanced at Le Tong.
Le Tong’s face turned red uncontrollably, lifting her eyes, she met the inscrutable eyes of the man sitting at the dining table.
"When did I say that?" Ji Rui, however, denied it.
Ji Baby gave Ji Rui a glare, "You said it before!"
While saying this, he firmly brought Le Tong to the seat beside Ji Rui, gallantly pulling the chair out.
Le Tong glanced at Ji Rui, who was sipping soup, seemingly uncaring about where she would sit.
"Sister, sit down!" Ji Baby tugged at her wrist, looking expectantly, his eyes unblinkingly gazing at her.
Le Tong felt that if Ji Baby wanted to sell her out, he only needed to call softly a couple of times and bat those electric eyes at her, she’d willingly get sold off and still help him count the money!
"Sister isn’t hungry!"
Though saying this aloud, she still followed Ji Baby’s wish and sat down beside Ji Rui.
Ji Baby quickly climbed onto the chair beside her, stood up, eagerly reaching for the bowl in front of Le Tong, his body leaning against the table, tiptoeing, trying to scoop soup.
"Ji Baby, wait for Sister!"
Le Tong hurriedly grabbed the bowl from his hand, "Careful, it’s hot!"
Ji Baby remained standing, insisting, "Ji Baby’s not afraid of hot!"
Le Tong gave Ji Rui, who was drinking soup, a reproachful glance, "Things should be done by Daddy or Sister, Ji Baby is still young, it’s dangerous!"
Le Tong naturally scolded Ji Rui, forgetting that Ji Baby is Rui’s son, while she is an outsider, with no authority in educating Ji Baby.
Rui raised an eyebrow, "I said I’d scoop it for him, he said he’d do it himself, let him try it, it’s no big deal!"
Le Tong was about to say something, but Ji Baby said, "Yeah, Ji Baby wanted to do it himself! Ji Baby’s a man, can take care of Sister, and can also take care of Daddy!"
Ji Rui gave Le Tong a meaningful look as if to say, see, it’s not me saying it, it’s him himself!
Le Tong glared at Ji Rui again, placing the scooped soup in front of Ji Baby, "Drink up, careful it’s hot."
Ji Baby obediently thanked Sister, then picked up the spoon and started stirring the steaming soup.
"Sister, shall we go home this afternoon?"
After finally serving herself soup, blowing on it gently, Ji Baby suddenly tilted his head and looked at her asking.
Le Tong glared at Ji Rui once more, meeting his innocent gaze, she ground her teeth inwardly!
Damn it, this is definitely a trap set by Ji Rui, knowing full well she can’t refuse Ji Baby, so he brought her back, letting Ji Baby handle her!
Turning her head and meeting Ji Baby’s hopeful eyes, Le Tong bit her lip and spoke firmly.
"Ji Baby, Sister is working here now, can’t go back with Ji Baby."
Ji Baby stared at her steadily, then blinked, and his eyes quickly filled with a layer of crystalline tears... ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ NoveI(F)ire.net
