Chapter 207: Chapter 207

In Le Tong’s eyes appeared a look of shock, her hand paused in mid-air, her whole person seemed to be under a spell, unable to move for a long time!!

Ji Baby probably waited for a while, lightly called out, twisted his body, and turned his head to glance at Le Tong.

The gaze behind him, complex and difficult to understand, was staring blankly at his back, making Ji Baby uneasy, "Sister!"

He wanted to turn around to see what was wrong with Le Tong, but Le Tong held his shoulder with one hand, preventing him from moving. Then, the hand that was warm just now turned cold, trembling slightly as it touched his spine.

"Baby, does it hurt..."

Ji Baby heard Le Tong ask, was stunned for a moment, felt her cold fingertips inching past his spine, thought for a moment, and finally somewhat understood her words.

"No, it doesn’t hurt... Sister, Daddy said that it’s Baby’s birthmark, it was there from birth, it doesn’t hurt!"

Ji Baby seemed to sense Le Tong’s mood and turned his head to comfort her in a cheerful tone.

Le Tong pressed her eyes shut heavily, and when she opened them again, her eyes were slightly red.

"Your Daddy... what else did he say?" Le Tong asked with much difficulty.

Ji Baby tilted his head to think for a moment, "Daddy also said, no one should know, and shouldn’t let others see Baby’s birthmark on the back, especially those bad women who always have ideas about Daddy."

The air was filled with prolonged silence, while Ji Baby, like most children, loved playing with water. Thus, after speaking, he focused on splashing water on himself to play, paying little attention to Le Tong’s silence.

Le Tong looked fixedly at Ji Baby’s back with eyes that were dazed and complex, not knowing what she was thinking. Eventually, she raised her hand to wipe her eyes, took a heavy breath.

"Baby... Do you miss Mommy?" Her voice was thick with nasal sound and slight tremble.

Ji Baby poured water over his shoulder using a sponge bath ball, first nodded, then shook his head.

"I used to miss Mommy very much, always dreaming of her! But now Baby has Sister, so I don’t miss Mommy."

Le Tong lowered her eyes and didn’t respond.

Ji Baby saw Le Tong not responding, his voice suddenly dropped, lowered and said gloomily, "But, Daddy doesn’t like Baby mentioning Mommy..."

Le Tong slightly trembled, raising her eyelids to stare fixedly at Ji Baby’s profile, which was very similar to Ji Rui.

Baby didn’t wait for Le Tong to ask, and continued speaking, "Once, Baby heard Daddy on the phone, saying Mommy only cares about money, and she’s no good..."

Le Tong dropped her eyes again, her hand unconsciously scooping some water, splashing it on Ji Baby’s back.

"Sister, be Baby’s Mommy, okay?"

Ji Baby, sitting in the basin, moved his hands along the edge of the basin, turned halfway around, nude, facing Le Tong directly.

Le Tong pulled out a somewhat unnatural smile at him, "Baby, don’t say such things!"

Le Tong took another deep breath, squeezed some shower gel on Ji Baby’s tender body.

"Sister, Baby didn’t say nonsense... Baby thinks, Daddy doesn’t like Mommy... So he never lets Baby see her..."

Ji Baby treated Le Tong like a confidante, daring to say anything, even many things that he didn’t mention to Ji Rui, he would say incessantly in front of Le Tong. This was indeed peculiar for Ji Baby, who had a lot of thoughts.

No wonder, Ji Rui always thought Baby was poisoned, poisoned by something called Le Tong.

Le Tong lowered her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking at this moment. Normally very caring towards Ji Baby, she was now unusually absent-minded while helping him wash his body.

Ji Baby saw Le Tong not responding, pouted sorrowfully and said, "Grandma said it’s because Baby isn’t good, that’s why Mommy doesn’t want Baby..."

Le Tong was startled, the pain in her eyes deepened, she raised her trembling hand to hold Ji Baby’s face and gently kissed his slightly reddened eyes.

"Baby is very good and lovable, what Grandma said is just to deceive Baby..."

Le Tong wanted to say something else, but her voice choked in her throat, unable to come out.

Ji Baby seemed to sense Le Tong’s downcast mood, raised his head, kissed Le Tong’s lips, touched her face with his wet hand, softly comforting, "Sister don’t cry, Baby has Daddy, has Sister!"

Le Tong sniffed again, bit her lip, and nodded, "Mm."

"Sister, weren’t you helping me wipe my back?"

Ji Baby, more mature compared to most children, vaguely knew Le Tong wasn’t in a good mood, so he pulled out a face full of smiles and stuffed the bath sponge lathered with shower gel into her hand. After Le Tong took the bath sponge, he smeared the foam on her face with his hands.

"Haha, Sister, you have white whiskers now, white whiskered sister..."

Le Tong watched Ji Baby’s innocent and charming smile, ignoring the foam the little rascal put on her face, unable to resist leaning over and kissing his pink and pretty lips twice, then turned his body so his back faced her.

When the bath sponge in her hand slid over the particularly eye-catching purple mark on the fair back, her force unconsciously softened significantly.

Behind her, Ji Baby kept chattering, and Le Tong barely listened, just silently, but exceptionally seriously, wiping his back and neck.

The water in the basin slowly cooled down, Le Tong wrapped the fragrant Ji Baby in a large bath towel and carried him to her bedroom, placing him on the bed.

Because Ji Baby was staying overnight, Wenwen, who had been sleeping with her these days, was carried back by Sister-in-law Zhang. On the bed were neatly folded clothes, though of ordinary quality, they were clean boy’s clothes, likely borrowed from relatives next door.

Once Ji Baby stood on the bed, he treated it like a trampoline, jumping up and down, Le Tong worried he would catch a cold and said, "Wear your clothes before playing!" The source of thɪs content is novel(ꜰ)ire.net

Wrapped only in the bath towel except for his chubby face, Ji Baby blinked his eyes, looked at Le Tong with a sweet tone.

"Sister, help Baby wear clothes, okay?"

Ji Baby knew how to dress himself, but occasionally would act spoiled to get Ji Rui’s help, now, of course, he was acting spoiled with Le Tong.

Le Tong gently responded, reached to open the inner cotton clothes, Ji Baby cooperated very well, chuckling, reached his small lotus-root-like hands out of the towel when Le Tong handed clothes in front of him, "Left hand one..."

Le Tong was originally filled with a mix of joy and sorrow, her heart piled with all sorts of chaotic emotions, heavy enough to suffocate her. Facing Ji Baby’s bright eyes, hearing his crisp and clear voice saying something, she watched him put a small hand into the sleeve, Le Tong muttered a reply.

"Little Baby indeed!"
