Chapter 336: Chapter 336

Ever since that matchmaking dinner, Le Tong finally realized that her beloved son was determined to pair her up with Ji Rui.

She only thought that Ji Rui was indeed involved in the whole thing, but she truly wronged Ji Rui. That day, everything was orchestrated by her beloved son alone!

It can only be said that she didn’t know her baby well enough. His intelligence and initiative were far beyond what she could have imagined.

That night, lying beside the baby who slept like a log, Le Tong even considered going along with her baby’s wishes and giving Ji Rui a try.

However, for other men, she had no passion to try, and when it came to Ji Rui, just the thought made her want to run away in fear.

Indeed, it was probably because of that man’s unpredictable temper in the past that scared her so much?

Since she couldn’t convince herself to fulfill her son’s wish, she could only try to communicate with her son that she and Ji Rui were not suitable for each other.

On Sunday, waking up naturally and feeling refreshed, Le Tong got up, made a big pot of porridge, and followed her baby’s nutrition guide along with her own creative ideas to make several snacks. When the baby peeked out with sleepy eyes at the bedroom door, Le Tong was just setting the table with porridge and snacks.

Catching sight of the little one sticking to the doorframe, Le Tong put down the plate in her hand, walked over, and pecked the baby’s rosy cheeks a couple of times, "Morning, baby!"

"Morning, mommy!" The baby rubbed his eyes and, with a pout, kissed Le Tong twice.

"Go wash your face and brush your teeth, after breakfast, we’ll go play at the park."

Upon hearing he could go out to play, the baby perked up.

"Mommy, can I play with my model airplane?"

Having been grounded for over two months, hearing he could go out to play sparked excitement in his eyes.

"Of course, you can!"

With this answer, the baby dashed into the bathroom as if motorized.

"Mommy, is daddy going with us later?"

With his mouth full of snacks, the baby mumbled while asking.

Le Tong shook her head, "No, just the two of us."

"But..." The baby bit the chopsticks, looking at Le Tong pitifully with his head tilted.

Le Tong patted his face, "No buts, isn’t just mommy accompanying you okay?"

"But I still want daddy and mommy to be with me..."

The baby pouted, feeling dejected, he lowered his head and took a spoonful of porridge into his mouth.

"Baby." Le Tong thought it was a good time to have a conversation with him.

"Hmm?!" The baby lifted his head, disappointment still brimming in his eyes.

"Mommy knows baby wants daddy and mommy together, but we do not like each other..."

"Who said daddy doesn’t like mommy?" The baby stared at Le Tong. This was the first time the baby contradicted her when she said Ji Rui didn’t like her.

"Daddy definitely likes mommy, likes her a lot..." The baby didn’t give up on his belief.

Le Tong rubbed her forehead helplessly, "Okay, so your daddy likes me a lot." She didn’t believe it at all, but she didn’t want to argue with the baby about it. "But I don’t like him!"

Whether he truly or falsely liked her didn’t matter. What’s important is, she didn’t like him, right?

Once she said this, the baby went silent, diving into his porridge as if she said she didn’t like him instead.

Le Tong thought that by persuading the baby, they could have a carefree afternoon together without disturbances.

After lunch, the mother and son, each carrying a big backpack, went downstairs hand in hand, only to see a very familiar car blocking the stairway entrance.

Before Le Tong could react, the person in the car got out. Ji Rui, dressed in casual attire, looked particularly handsome and vibrant, standing in the sunlight like a god descending to earth.

Upon seeing Ji Rui, the baby broke free from Le Tong’s hand and flew into the man’s arms.

Ji Rui opened his arms, scooped him up, and gave him a kiss on the cheek, "Where is baby going?"

"To the park..." An excited baby started to speak but seemed to remember the earlier conversation with Le Tong, turned to look at Le Tong, and dared not continue.

Le Tong, who caught up, finished the sentence, "I saw that the weather isn’t too hot today, so I thought to take him to the park to play."

Judging by the large puddle behind the car, this man had been lying in wait for quite some time. It seemed unkind to chase him away, and plus, the baby looked so thrilled.

Ji Rui looked at her, asking cautiously, "Can I accompany baby?"

Le Tong nodded, "It’s fine, the park isn’t far from here, baby and I will walk there. Why don’t you go ahead and wait for us."

Ji Rui shut the car door behind him, "I’ll walk with you, is baby hot? Do you need a sun hat?"

As he spoke, Le Tong had already taken out two caps from the backpack, putting the smaller one on the baby’s head and the larger one on her own.

The baby proudly tilted his cap, showing his bright black eyes as he looked at Ji Rui, "Daddy, what about yours?"

Ji Rui glanced at Le Tong, not daring to hope that she would be prepared for him. He spread his hands, "I don’t have one... let’s go, daddy’s not afraid of the sun."

With that, he picked up the baby and started walking toward the park.

The sun at around ten o’clock wasn’t the day’s fiercest, but in September’s weather, it was still significant.

Not far into their walk, beads of sweat were already forming on Ji Rui’s forehead. The baby took a small towel from his backpack to wipe his sweat considerately.

Just as Ji Rui was thinking of buying a hat from a nearby shop, suddenly, a black baseball cap appeared in front of him.

Ji Rui received the cap with pleasant surprise, ready to wear it when he heard Le Tong say,

"It’s nothing special, just a cheap item from a roadside stall. If Mr. Ji finds it uncomfortable, feel free to discard it."

Before Ji Rui could reply, the baby had already grabbed the cap from his hand and put it on him, "Mommy, isn’t it handsome? Indeed, good looks can pull off anything, just like baby." Fresh chapters posted on novel-fire.ɴet

Le Tong, who was Initially looking straight ahead after handing the cap to Ji Rui, had to turn and glance at him, acknowledging the boy’s call.

Normally, people rely on clothing, but someone like Ji Rui managed to make any cheap item look stylish on him.

With the plain baseball cap on his head, it surprisingly matched well with his silver-grey casual outfit today, making him look at least five or six years younger.

"It is quite handsome!"

Even though she was reluctant to admit it, the envious glances from passersby confirmed the baby’s words were true.
