Chapter 245: Chapter 245
Ji Baby reluctantly sat up, pouting and muttering, "Sister is so mean, it’s just one night of sleep here, it’s not like it’s a big deal..."
Le Tong put down her things, walked over, grabbed his feet, helped him put on his shoes, and struggled to carry him off the sofa.
"Be good, Baobao, your daddy is waiting for you at home to have dinner."
After Le Tong came back, she messaged Ji Rui, mentioning she was taking Baobao to her home to play and would send him home before dinner.
Ji Rui replied after about half an hour, with a simple "Okay." Follow current novels on novel※fire.net
"Hmph, daddy’s not a kid, he can eat by himself..."
Ji Baby’s beautiful wish fell through, naturally leaving him in a foul mood, and he inevitably acted up.
Le Tong understood this but didn’t mean to indulge him.
She picked up the packaged food from the coffee table, held Baobao’s hand, ready to head out. Baobao’s designated driver was already waiting downstairs.
Before they reached the entrance, the doorbell rang, and Le Tong assumed it was the impatient Ji Family guards pressing the bell urging them. So, without checking who was outside, she reached out to open the door.
Upon opening the door, Le Tong was dumbfounded.
It wasn’t Ji Family’s guards standing outside, it was Luo Yifan.
Someone whom Le Tong had wanted to avoid.
"Tongtong, you really came back." Luo Yifan crossed in front of Le Tong, gleefully.
He reached out with his long arms, intending to pull Le Tong’s slender shoulders into a hug, but suddenly there was an obstacle between them.
Luo Yifan looked down to find a handsome little face full of anger, seemingly wanting to devour him.
This person wasn’t anybody else; it was Le Tong’s former boss, Ji Rui’s cherished son, Young Master Ji!
"You’re not allowed to touch my sister!"
Before Luo Yifan could understand why the little guy’s eyes were on fire, ready to eliminate him, the little guy already furrowed his brows and fiercely warned.
Luo Yifan assumed this little guy was acting out, reached out with a smile to pinch his face, "Hey, Baobao doesn’t recognize Brother Luo anymore?"
Baobao waved his hand and smacked Luo Yifan’s hand away with a "slap," leaving Luo Yifan astonished, looking at his hand, about to question Ji Baby how he managed to offend this Little Demon King when he heard Le Tong softly scolding Ji Baby.
"Baobao, don’t be so rude, quickly apologize to Brother Luo!"
Ji Baby snorted, completely ignoring Le Tong, putting both hands on Luo Yifan’s body, biting his lip with all his strength, full of anger trying to push Luo Yifan away.
But he was ultimately just a five-year-old child, trying to push away a man over six feet tall and not exactly slim, which was a tall order.
Le Tong also got a bit angry, holding Ji Baby’s shoulders with her hands, in a quiet yet stern voice, she called, "Ji Yu!"
Ji Baby was smart, and upon hearing this address, knew Le Tong was angry, and his hands paused. He glared fiercely at Luo Yifan, took a step back, stuck close to Le Tong, looking up, full of caution and hostility towards Luo Yifan.
Le Tong held his shoulder, having no time to discipline him, raised her head calmly to look at Luo Yifan.
"Yifan, why did you come?"
Luo Yifan was quite helpless about only receiving attention from the homeowner now but couldn’t complain, he just raised his lips, revealing a bitter smile.
"I heard from Yuan’er that you came back, so I came to try my luck, to see if I could meet you."
His words were quite sorrowful.
He wasn’t anyone special to Le Tong, merely a good friend. She had the freedom to come and go without notifying him, no need to report when she returned.
The one who waits was always him. Moreover, it was a one-sided wait.
Therefore, he could only, try his luck!
Le Tong was slightly moved, wanting to say something, but the brat beside her couldn’t stay still, keeping moving. She glanced sternly at the brat still glaring at Luo Yifan until he received the warning and obediently leaned against her without moving, then raised her head again, with a trace of apology in her eyes.
"Yifan, sorry, I came back a bit hastily, so didn’t have time to arrange any gathering."
She mentioned you all, not you.
Luo Yifan felt even more sorrowful, she was too smart, even a casual simple sentence exuded detachment and rejection. Even within apologies, he, Luo Yifan, only occupied one-third of it, the other two-thirds referred to Luo Yuanyuan and Xu Tao.
Furthermore, her kind of apology wasn’t what Luo Yifan wanted.
However, even so, he couldn’t blame her. Because she had already said, what he wanted, she couldn’t give.
Knowing so yet unable to let go himself, he could only struggle in this sorrowful mire.
"Do you have time now?"
Luo Yifan stood still, since he came, he hadn’t intended to let Le Tong escape.
Le Tong was somewhat embarrassed and very distressed.
Originally, she planned to send Ji Baby onto the car to let the driver take him home, whereas she would stroll around nearby, buy some stuff for Wenwen that little girl, then spend a cozy night at home.
But now, it seemed her perfect plan was ruined.
"Sister doesn’t have time, sister promised Baobao to take Baobao home."
Ji Baby, who had momentarily calmed down, upon hearing Luo Yifan wanted to invite Le Tong, immediately stretched out his arms protecting Le Tong, looking up, full of vigilance and hostility towards Luo Yifan, speaking harshly, as if Le Tong was his private possession.
Originally, Ji Baby’s excuse could totally be used to refuse Luo Yifan.
But like Luo Yifan, Le Tong equally didn’t wish to see Ji Rui.
Moreover, Luo Yifan was different from Ji Rui, he was truly exceptionally kind to her, she couldn’t possibly cut ties completely.
"How about you wait for me, once I send Baobao to the car, we find a place to have dinner and catch up?"
As for Luo Yifan, she could avoid him for a while, but not a lifetime, just use tonight’s opportunity to clarify things some more.
"Okay!" Luo Yifan finally showed a relieved smile.
"Sister! Just take Baobao home, Baobao will behave, okay?" Ji Baby, seeing it was hard to achieve through tough means, pleaded pitifully by holding Le Tong’s hand in a soft voice.
In Ji Baby’s opinion, as long as Le Tong sends him home, he has a way to delay her from meeting Brother Luo!
Le Tong ignored his plea, handed the big bag of food to the Ji Family guard standing outside the hallway, turned around, and went inside to get her bag and other items for going out.
With Ji Baby, though she was easily softened, she wouldn’t compromise on things she should not relent.
Because, in her view, Ji Baby was already domineering enough, blindly indulging would harm him!
