Chapter 210: Chapter 210

After breakfast, Le Tong took Ji Baby and Wenwen, the two little ones, out for a stroll.

Although it was very cold, there was no snow. Le Tong had the two kids wear thick coats and put on gloves and hats. Holding one in each hand, she leisurely walked with them along the path.

After spending time together last night, the two children already seemed like siblings. As they walked, it ended up with Ji Baby holding Wenwen’s hand and walking ahead, with Le Tong following behind like a bodyguard and nanny. Read complete version only at NoveI★Fire.net

Having always lived in the city, Ji Baby surprisingly showed a great interest in this desolate countryside. Holding Wenwen’s hand, after walking a few steps, they squatted by the roadside, chattering about something. When Le Tong approached, she found the two little rascals pointing at some small stones and giggling.

Ji Baby said, "Little sister, this is fried milk, brother is treating you to a piece."

Wenwen opened her mouth in a gesture of eating, chewed for a bit, and then said crisply, "Delicious, thank you..."

Le Tong wanted to laugh but was afraid her laughter would scare away the rare childlike innocence, so she straightened up, stepped back a few paces, and smiled while watching the two kids play house. After watching for a while, she took out her phone and recorded the scene of them playing enthusiastically.

After the two kids finished "eating fried milk," they held hands and hopped forward. They played and strolled all the way, and it was nearly an hour later when they reached the town.

Le Tong took the two kids for a stroll in the town’s largest supermarket. She pushed a large shopping cart and bought a heap of ingredients, while Ji Baby pushed a small cart and picked out a pile of snacks and toys with Wenwen.

Le Tong initially didn’t notice until she saw Ji Baby’s cart piled like a small mountain with snacks and toys, which made her frown slightly, "Baby..."

Seeing Le Tong’s expression, Ji Baby knew she wasn’t happy, so he quickly took off his backpack, pulled out a small pouch, and handed it to Le Tong.

"Sister, Baby wants to buy these snacks and toys to give to Wenwen."

With that explanation, Le Tong seemed to have no reason to scold him. She curiously took the small pouch, "What’s this?"

Ji Baby pointed to the pouch and leaned over to whisper to Le Tong, "Sister, inside are Baby’s money and cards. You can take any card inside to buy lots and lots of things."

Le Tong frowned slightly, opened the small pouch, and, as Ji Baby said, found a stack of hundred-yuan bills and several black and gold cards inside. Although they were supplementary cards, there was no doubt that their spending limit was high.

"Who gave these to you?" Le Tong asked Ji Baby in a low voice.

Ji Baby nonchalantly said, "Grandpa, Grandpa caretaker, Daddy..."

Le Tong’s brows furrowed even tighter. She closed the pouch and put it back into Ji Baby’s backpack.

"The things Baby wants to buy, sister will pay for them."

Does the Ji family have a problem? Even if they have more money than they can spend, they shouldn’t be giving so much to a five-year-old!!

Meanwhile, Le Tong was contemplating how to address this issue with Ji Rui without being abrupt, when after checking out, she saw the car that had picked her up to the county yesterday parked at the supermarket entrance.

However, the first one to notice the car wasn’t Le Tong, it was Ji Baby.

"Sister, Daddy has come to pick us up!"

Le Tong was surprised to see the tall man get out of the car and walk straight over, silently taking the large bags from her hands and placing them in the trunk.

"Daddy, you’re so punctual."

Spending a night apart, Ji Baby was now following Ji Rui around like a little shadow, grinning up at him.

Ji Rui tossed the bags into the trunk, freed a hand, and pinched Ji Baby’s cheek, "Didn’t Baby say his feet were sore from walking?"

Only then did Le Tong realize her whereabouts had been sold out by Ji Baby, this little spy.

Le Tong turned to leave with Wenwen, and Ji Baby, anxious, quickly caught up, pulling on Le Tong’s hand.

"Sister, let’s all take the car back."

Le Tong didn’t want to be in the same space with Ji Rui, but since Ji Baby said his feet were sore, she had to walk back with Wenwen.

"You go back in the car."

Ji Baby paused, blinked, and his eyes quickly reddened, "Sister, don’t you want Baby anymore?"

Le Tong was taken aback for a moment and then realized that Baby must have thought she wanted him to go back with Ji Rui. She bent down, patted his cheek, and coaxed gently.

"Silly, sister just wants you to take the car back to Uncle’s house. Sister gets carsick and wants to walk back."

Ji Baby held her hand, "Then Baby will accompany Sister and walk back!"

Saying this, he turned and waved to Ji Rui, who stood behind, "Daddy, I’ll go back with Sister."

Ji Rui, who had originally opened the car door and was waiting for them to get in, leaned inside and said something to the driver, then shut the door with a slam and walked towards Le Tong and the others.

Le Tong raised an eyebrow, staring at him as if to ask, "What are you trying to do?"

Ji Rui put his hand on Ji Baby’s head, "I’ll walk you back!"

The words seemed to be directed at Baby, but his eyes were always on Le Tong.

Le Tong knew she couldn’t change the man’s decision, so she avoided his gaze and walked briskly back, holding Wenwen’s hand.

At this point, Ji Baby didn’t care much about Ji Rui, he just chased after Le Tong on his own, "Sister, wait for me!"

Ji Rui didn’t seem to mind Le Tong’s indifferent and neglectful attitude, keeping a calm expression as he strode forward towards the three figures ahead, two big and two small.

The four of them walked a short distance along the road, and Ji Baby, perhaps out of genuine liking or just to play with Wenwen, didn’t go far before he took Wenwen’s hand and ran ahead to have fun, while Ji Rui quickly caught up to walk alongside Le Tong.

The two of them walked silently for a short distance without speaking or any intent to interact with each other. Initially, Le Tong didn’t plan to speak to him, but recalling the small pouch in Ji Baby’s backpack, she organized her thoughts before speaking to Ji Rui.

Ji Rui was slightly surprised and turned to look at her, "Hmm?!"

He had thought she would ignore him throughout the walk.

And also thought she wouldn’t address him as Mr. Ji anymore.

"About Baby, I’d like to make a suggestion..."

Even though she had thought about how to say it, Le Tong was still a bit nervous. After all, that was Ji Rui’s son, not someone related to her, and how President Ji wanted to educate and raise his child was none of Le Tong’s business.

Ji Rui’s face remained calm, but in his heart, he couldn’t hide his happiness.

After all, she wasn’t someone who meddled in others’ affairs. Her concern for his son was effectively a concern for him, wasn’t it?
