Chapter 306: Chapter 306

Baobao giggled and slipped out of Le Tong’s arms, reached out and hugged Ji Rui’s neck, giving him two kisses on the face with a "mwah mwah".

"I haven’t forgotten, Daddy is a big man, he wouldn’t be like a woman, always talking about missing or thinking about you."

Le Tong laughed and patted his butt, "You little guy, are you insulting Mommy?" Latest content published on NoveIＦire.net

Ji Baby immediately turned back to snuggle her, "Of course not, Baobao would never insult Mommy!"

Le Tong pinched his butt, "Okay, no need to flatter me. Did you tell uncle what you wanted to eat?"

Baobao nodded with a smile, "Uncle said he knows what we like to eat, he’ll handle it, right? Uncle!"

Manager Chen smiled and nodded, showing the finished menu to Ji Rui, who took a quick glance and then handed it over to Le Tong.

"You see if there’s anything else you want to eat."

Le Tong took a brief look and added two dishes that Baobao loves, plus a dessert that Ji Rui likes.

Manager Chen added the three dishes to his tablet, jokingly saying, "Indeed, Miss Le knows Mr. Ji and the young master’s preferences well."

Ji Rui stared at Le Tong, "What about yourself? Is there nothing special you want to eat? Don’t forget, I’m the one treating!" Ji Rui played the host very generously.

"I like everything on Manager Chen’s menu. Don’t worry, I’ll take it easy, or else if I eat too much and leave you crying, I won’t have the chance next time."

Before Ji Rui could say anything, Baobao chimed in with a grin, "Mommy doesn’t need to worry, if Daddy doesn’t treat you, Baobao will treat you!"

Baobao’s words reminded Le Tong of the big wad of cash and the black gold card in his bag, and she playfully teased him by tapping his nose.

"Little one, showing off wealth, that’s your daddy’s money. Wait until you earn your own money, then treat Mommy!"

"Daddy’s money is Baobao’s money, right, Daddy?"

Ji Rui was sipping tea and nodded obediently at his words.

"That’s right, what’s Daddy’s is Baobao’s."

Baobao proudly glanced at Le Tong, "See, Baobao wasn’t wrong?! What’s Daddy’s is Baobao’s, and what’s Baobao’s is Mommy’s."

Le Tong was amused by Baobao’s logic, "Doesn’t that mean everything is Mommy’s?"

After saying this, Le Tong was startled, realizing she might have said something wrong.

Originally, Ji Rui always thought she was a money-grubbing woman. Hearing this, wouldn’t he misunderstand her again?

She glanced at Ji Rui, but he was casually sipping his tea, as if he hadn’t heard what she said.

Le Tong was relieved, but she dared not circle around on this topic anymore, hastily turning to Baobao, who was nestled in her arms.

"Was Baobao good at home today?"

"Yes, when Grandpa came, Baobao even made tea for him!"

Le Tong was startled again, remembering Ji Rui’s reaction in the car earlier, she couldn’t help but glance at him.

"What did Grandpa say to Baobao?"

Ji Rui turned his head, still looking calm, his tone flat, showing no signs of emotion.

"Grandpa said the place Mommy lives in is too small and told Baobao to go back with him."

Baobao didn’t know that Grandpa and Daddy were just maintaining a superficial peace and courtesy for his sake. In reality, their relationship remained terrible, with the slightest conflict potentially causing a rift between the father and son.

Ji Rui’s face remained unchanged, only silently holding his teacup.

Le Tong hurriedly took out a drawing board she bought earlier from her bag, "Baobao, Mommy just bought this for you."

Ji Baby’s attention was immediately diverted, taking the drawing board and crayons, he sat on Le Tong’s lap and started drawing seriously.

Manager Chen had already left, leaving only Le Tong and the father and son in the private room.

Baobao drew intently on the drawing board, while Ji Rui silently sipped his tea.

Le Tong wanted to say something, but in the end, looking at Baobao, then at Ji Rui, she said nothing.

Actually, she knew what Ji Rui was worried about.

However, she felt that she was just a small insignificant person, and the elder would not do anything excessive to her.

But, Le Tong was overly certain.

That night, after dinner, the three of them went back to Le Tong’s house, and Ji Rui, as he did the previous night, left only after Baobao fell asleep.

After seeing Ji Rui off, Le Tong tidied up the house a bit before going to shower. She came out, brewed a cup of hot tea, and sat cross-legged on the sofa, opening her laptop to check the transfer emails Lin Ling had sent her.

After only reading for a while, her phone on the sofa started vibrating with a "beep beep beep".

She picked it up to see it was from an unfamiliar number.

Le Tong frowned slightly, trying hard to recall where she might have seen this number.

The phone persisted in vibrating, and with no clue, Le Tong eventually pressed the answer key.

"Hello, who is this?"

"It’s me!" came an old yet robust and powerful voice from the other end.

Le Tong was momentarily stunned, but soon realized it was Mr. Ji?

Although Ji Rui was now the chairman, Le Tong and most employees at Ji Family still habitually addressed Mr. Ji this way.

"Hello, Chairman!" Le Tong only politely greeted him but didn’t ask the purpose of his call, waiting for him to speak his mind.

"Tell me, how much do you want to stop pestering Baobao and Ah Ru?"

Le Tong rolled her eyes, as expected, it was the same old routine?

The bad habit of Ji Rui loving to solve everything with money, evidently inherited from Mr. Ji?

"What do you mean, Chairman, I don’t understand!"

Before the other party made anything clear, Le Tong decided to play dumb.

"Don’t understand? Aren’t you Baobao’s biological mother?"

Le Tong was shocked. She thought Mr. Ji could at most find out about her known experiences, but Baobao’s situation was known by few, and even investigating it would be challenging.

"Chairman, what exactly are you talking about?"

Le Tong felt he was likely testing her, so she continued pretending.

Honestly, admitting her relationship with Baobao wasn’t a big deal to her, she just feared acknowledging it in front of Mr. Ji might cause harm or adverse effects to Ji Rui, so she decided not to admit it unless the other party had concrete evidence.

"Le Tong, I underestimated you. I suppose, Ah Ru also looked down on you, which is why he’s so infatuated with you. CoCo told me everything, including her engagement with Ah Ru, and she hopes to have the wedding before the end of the year. You’ve done all this for money, how much do you want? Feel free to name a price, and I’ll try my best to meet your demands! After all, I’m very grateful to you for giving Ah Ru such a lovely son, Baobao!"
