Chapter 282: Chapter 282

Ji Rui’s face showed no obvious change in expression, but Le Tong could see his confusion and surprise from his gaze.

Suddenly, she couldn’t help but feel pity for the man in front of her.

This man, just what nerve is missing in his brain to always link everything to money when contemplating? Such a person is probably what people call lacking human sentiment.

If it were before, she might have asked him, "Are you happy?", but now, she wouldn’t bother with such idle matters.

Thankfully, Baobao is much stronger than this man in this regard.

Thinking of Baobao, the frost on Le Tong’s face slightly melted.

"Forget it, you wouldn’t understand even if I tell you."

Le Tong looked at Ji Rui with an expression clearly filled with "This kid is beyond help," holding a pile of toys, she swiftly moved past Ji Rui and placed the toys into the box in the corner.

Ji Rui watched as Le Tong swiftly flashed to the corner and still couldn’t figure out what exactly he’d said that upset her.

Now he understood why he often felt powerless when facing his son. It turned out, his son’s temperament in many aspects was inherited from his mother, this woman right here.

At this moment, watching the woman ignore him, busying herself as if he were invisible, he too was filled with a sense of helplessness.

Both clearly under the same roof, yet the ideological gap between them felt as if it were planets away!

"Crash," the door was suddenly pushed open.

After disappearing for quite a while, CoCo suddenly pushed the door open and rushed in, walking straight to Ji Rui, "Rui, isn’t what you’re doing too much?!"

CoCo’s tone wasn’t exactly harsh, but Le Tong could clearly feel the anger brewing inside her, undoubtedly Ji Rui must have offended this beauty.

To avoid being caught in the crossfire, Le Tong wanted to slip out along the wall.

Unexpectedly, the beauty stretched out her slender hand to stop Le Tong.

"Rui, are you sure you want to annul the engagement because of a woman ?"

Dragged into this innocently, Le Tong glanced at Ji Rui, then at CoCo, just about to open her mouth to defend herself, but suddenly heard a crisp childlike voice ring out.

"It’s not your place to talk about what kind of woman my mommy is, you crazy woman, are you madly missing my daddy?"

Le Tong realized instantly, if it wasn’t her precious son speaking, then who else could it be?

"Oh, Baobao, don’t be mad..."

Le Tong, who always put her son first, barely had time to explain to CoCo. She quickly pushed aside the hand blocking her and rushed over to hold the wheelchair, wanting to push Baobao away.

She didn’t want her precious son to witness Ji Rui’s tangled feelings with this beauty, to avoid negatively influencing his view on relationships.

"Mommy, don’t move, I have something to say!" Baobao pursed his lips and looked sharply at Ji Rui and CoCo.

At five years old, Baobao was full of presence, and when he spoke, he carried the aura of a sovereign with supreme power.

Le Tong knew her son was precocious, but didn’t expect it to such an extent that even she, the mother, felt a chilling sense of authority and coldness.

This aura, this presence, not only startled her, but even CoCo, who dared to directly contradict Ji Rui, was stunned looking at Baobao, seemingly frightened by the little guy’s presence.

"Baobao, daddy and Sister CoCo have important things to discuss, let’s go for a walk." Le Tong tried to persuade him, rubbing Baobao’s head.

Ji Baobao, who was usually very obedient to Le Tong, was exceptionally stubborn this time.

As he spoke, he made a move to stand up.

Fearful of this little ancestor, Le Tong pressed his skinny shoulders, "Baobao, sit properly, don’t move."

Facing her baby son who had just recovered from a serious illness, Le Tong didn’t dare to be forceful, so she had to compromise once, casting Ji Rui a look of helplessness.

"Baobao, can you say what you have to later, okay?"

Although Ji Rui didn’t know what his son wanted to say, it was obvious from the little guy’s serious and tense demeanor that it wasn’t a happy matter, and just like Le Tong, he didn’t want his darling son, who had just recovered from illness, to get upset.

"No way! I want to say it now!"

Not knowing whether she truly cared for Baobao or just wanted to gain favor with Ji Rui, CoCo also joined in persuading upon seeing Baobao .

"Baobao, your health is just recovering, can’t you say it later?" With that, she had already walked to Baobao’s side, reaching out to touch Baobao’s face.

Baobao raised his hand, promptly slapping CoCo’s hand away.

"Go away! Don’t touch me with your dirty hand!"

"Baobao!" Le Tong shouted, stopping the little guy from acting out.

CoCo also looked aggrieved, standing in front of Baobao trying to explain, but Baobao ignored her, tightly gripping Le Tong’s hand and rubbing his little face against her palm.

"Mommy, you are Baobao’s real mommy, right?"

Le Tong suddenly heard her son questioning with a sobbing tone, and felt as if her heart was stabbed with a knife, causing her almost unbearable pain.

"Baobao, I’m sorry... Mommy is sorry to you..."

In her palm, cool tears flowed down.

Baobao sniffed heavily twice, pulled his face away from her hand and rubbed his facial tears hard, then looked up with his little face, eyes red yet smiling brilliantly at Le Tong.

"Mommy, Baobao loves you! Loves you very much!"

Le Tong burst into tears instantly!

She originally thought that after knowing she was his real mother, Baobao would surely question or even hate her!

But she never imagined that Baobao would respond to her with such a generous and forgiving heart!

"Baobao, Mommy loves you very much too!"

Le Tong choked back her tears, squatted down, hugged Baobao, and buried her face into his frail shoulders.

Ji Rui and CoCo seemed surprised by the scene in front of them, standing dumbfounded in place, watching the mother and son who were hugging each other.

Watching this, even Ji Rui, a man of subdued feelings, couldn’t help but feel his eyes warm.

After a while, Baobao finally lifted his head, again rubbed his tears with the back of his hand, and looked at Ji Rui.

"Daddy, I’m being discharged tomorrow."

Ji Rui and Le Tong both jumped in shock, "Baobao..."

Ji Baobao didn’t listen to the pair’s advice at all, he just gave Ji Rui a cold look before continuing.

"Daddy, Mommy is very good to Baobao, very very good, no one has ever been so good to Baobao before! Why did you yell at Mommy? Is it for this woman?"

Ji Rui looked stunned, turning his gaze from Baobao’s face to Le Tong’s face. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn N()velFire.net

"It’s not what Mommy said, it’s what the nurse aunties said during Baobao’s check-up."

Baobao was very smart, from Ji Rui’s sinister gaze he understood his suspicion towards his mommy.

"Daddy, this woman says she’s going to marry you soon!"

Baobao’s composure didn’t fit his age of five, he pointed his finger at CoCo standing in front of him.

"Go ahead, marry her! I don’t want you anymore, I only need Mommy!! "
