Chapter 335: Chapter 335

Le Tong was sure that a straight-laced man would completely deny such a probe that directly affected his personal reputation.

Unexpectedly, the man looked at her earnestly, "If this counts as an unspoken rule, then I admit, I intend to have unspoken rules with you. Do you agree?"

Le Tong almost spat out blood, once again witnessing the man’s shamelessness reach unprecedented heights.

She knew full well that the unspoken rules he was referring to were definitely not the same as what she meant, but clearly it was a taboo topic, and yet he asked so openly.

Le Tong felt like she shot herself in the foot, gritting her teeth in pain but unable to voice it. Just as she was about to retort, a childish voice drifted overhead, "Daddy, what are unspoken rules?"

Baby, who had been excitedly looking around, suddenly turned into an inquisitive child.

Le Tong was momentarily stunned, then heard Ji Rui’s suppressed laughter.

Seeing Ji Rui not answering, Baby bent down and patted Le Tong’s head, "Mommy, Mommy, what are unspoken rules?"

"I don’t know..." Le Tong answered sulkily, too frustrated to even look at the little guy. He was definitely in cahoots with Ji Rui!

Old fox and young fox!

"But Mommy, didn’t you just ask Daddy if he wanted to have unspoken rules with you?"

Le Tong raised her head, stretched on tiptoes, and managed to pinch the little guy’s face, pretending to look fierce like a stepmother, "You little brat, weren’t you just sightseeing?"

Clearly sitting up high and looking around curiously, how could he have heard her clearly?

"Mommy, Baby can multitask..."

Baby shook his head smugly, not taking Le Tong’s fierce look seriously. Le Tong twitched her mouth, grinding her teeth.

"You’re just like your daddy!" Are all men with the surname Ji cunning wolves?

Baby completely ignored Le Tong’s annoyance and snuggled into Ji Rui, casually resting his chin on Ji Rui’s head.

"So, Mommy, do you want to have unspoken rules with Daddy or not?"

To this, Le Tong didn’t even need to think, "No!"

Baby’s eyes showed a hint of confusion, "Why not? Daddy said a promotion and a raise are not a dream! If Mommy agrees with Daddy, then Mommy can buy a big house for Baby to live in..."

This kid was definitely doing it on purpose!

"If you want to live in a big house, go home with your daddy later! Heartless little brat, selling your mommy for a big house?!"

Although kids speak innocently, Baby’s words made Le Tong feel both amused and annoyed.

"But Daddy is so rich, Mommy selling herself to Daddy isn’t a loss. Think about it, then all Daddy’s money is Mommy’s money, Daddy’s house is Mommy’s house too..."

Ji Baby tilted his head and began eagerly counting benefits on his fingers, marketing his daddy.

Le Tong was now quite convinced that behind her back, Ji Rui had given Baby considerable perks!

Otherwise, with Baby’s old head on young shoulders, could he really not know what unspoken rules meant?

Seeing him babbling on about so much nonsense, circling back to his idiotic daddy, it was obvious the little guy was playing dumb!

"I’m tired, going over there to sit, you father and son take a walk yourselves."

Le Tong wasn’t easy either, if this brat wanted to advertise his daddy, she couldn’t scold him, but she could avoid him!

Baby was in high spirits, but he was cut off by Le Tong, making him pause, "Mommy, you’re lying, we’ve just barely walked!"

It’s rare to have the chance to walk with both Daddy and Mommy, he didn’t want to be left behind.

"My feet aren’t tired, my ears are. I want to find a quiet place to relax..."

Le Tong made a move to leave, and Ji Baby quickly bent down, grasping her shoulders, "Alright, Baby won’t talk anymore... Mommy, don’t be mad at Baby..."

Le Tong stopped, glanced at Ji Baby, then at Ji Rui, "Really not going to say more?"

"Mm! Promise not to say more!"

Ji Baby raised his hand to swear and struggled to signal for Ji Rui to let him down.

As the biggest beneficiary of this incident, Ji Rui had been listening with amusement to Baby speaking on his behalf. Now hearing his precious son wanting down, he quickly lifted his hand, seized his arm, and in no time, Baby was standing steadily on the ground.

As if fearing Le Tong would run away, the moment Baby stood steadily, he obediently placed his small hands into Le Tong’s and Ji Rui’s palms. Le Tong could act tough verbally, but her heart truly softened towards her quirky son. She led Baby to a place with fewer people.

Baby, holding his Daddy and Mommy’s hands, was extremely happy. He opened his mouth to say something, but recalling he had just offended Mommy, he felt a bit timid and dared not speak randomly. Follow current novᴇls on NoveI-Fire.ɴet

After walking a short distance, Le Tong, who was used to Baby’s chatter, found it odd.

Baby pouted, "Baby doesn’t dare to talk anymore."

Le Tong was made amused yet annoyed by him, "Didn’t tell you not to talk, just don’t keep bringing your daddy out to sell him. Really wonder what perks he offered you."

Ji Rui, who hadn’t spoken much, was unjustly implicated, opened his mouth to defend, "I didn’t..."

Le Tong gave him a sideways glance, "Don’t tell me you didn’t. How can Baby, who’s so young, help you speak so many sweet words without your direction? Clearly just such a terrible person..."

By the end, Le Tong’s voice was only loud enough for Ji Rui to hear, as she didn’t want to appear gossipy in front of Baby.

"I..." Ji Rui felt completely wronged!

At this moment, he finally understood how she felt when wrongly accused or blamed for something she didn’t do before.

And his sense of injustice was purely because he really hadn’t instigated his son this time.

As for Le Tong calling him a terrible person, he had nothing to refute.

"Le Tong, sometimes what you say isn’t lovable!"

Ji Rui hoped she would show her true nature to him, but perhaps he had heard too much good, so when she said something slightly harsh, he felt uncomfortable.

Le Tong bent down to wipe Baby’s sweat and took out a small towel to place on his slightly sweaty back.

"Mr. Ji, in the past, I always wanted to please you, but the fact is, even then, you didn’t necessarily like me. So now, I won’t deliberately say nice things just to please you."

Le Tong’s words carried a bit of anger. Thinking back on the whole day, being part of this father-son acting plot, after all the twists and turns, it circled back to Ji Rui. Even if she were a fool, she could deduce that someone had to have orchestrated this behind the scenes.

Moreover, she’s not foolish at all.
