Chapter 338: Chapter 338

Le Tong pondered for a long time about what kind of image the teenage Ji Rui had, and she had no answer.

However, that night, a young man appeared in Le Tong’s dream.

The young man had a mix of Baobao’s childishness and Ji Rui’s sharpness, with the unique arrogance and confidence of youth in his features.

The young man, dressed in a black knight’s outfit, gallantly rode on a tall white steed, rushing recklessly into her sight. He reined in the horse, its head raised high as it neighed at the sky. The young man gave her a wanton smile, raised the whip in his hand, and the black and white light streaked across her eyes...

Waking up, beside her, Baobao, who bore some resemblance to that young man, was clutching her arm and sleeping soundly like a pig.

Le Tong gently caressed Baobao’s handsome eyebrows.

She was very clear that the young man in her dream was how she imagined the young Ji Rui.

But the real young Ji Rui probably had nothing to do with the boy in her dream.

Yet she preferred to believe that the young man in her dream was how Ji Rui once was.

Because Baobao was living with her, Le Tong now had to get up half an hour earlier to prepare Baobao’s breakfast and lunch, then heat her own breakfast in the microwave, and then leave at her usual time.

Returning to the Ji Family, as usual, she arrived at fifteen to eight.

Le Tong stood in the tea room, listening to the gurgling sound from the coffee pot, everything before her was as if the first time she came to the Ji Family, as if nothing had changed.

But in fact, everything had already changed beyond recognition.

"Mr. Ji, your coffee!"

When Le Tong pushed the coffee in front of the man, her words were as formulaic as before.

But the man’s reaction behind the desk was no longer the same as before.

"Thank you!" The man now had become polite.

The way he looked at her was no longer as indifferent and aloof as before, but as dark and unfathomable as the night sea.

However, she did not change at all. She would rather he still be as indifferent as before, picking up his coffee, and she could then cheerfully turn around to do what she was supposed to do.

Rather than like now, having to say politely, "You’re welcome, it’s what I should do."

"You’re taking care of Baobao now, it must be tiring. It’s okay if you come back later in the morning, coffee isn’t necessarily required to be made, I can call the café across the street and have them deliver it every morning."

The man took a sip of coffee, leisurely put down the cup, and looked at Le Tong, who was holding a pile of documents, and said.

"It’s fine, Baobao is very well-behaved."

With Le Tong’s personality, if taking care of Baobao affected her work, she would rather make the hard choice to give up one.

Because she couldn’t tolerate doing things halfway, nor could she accept enjoying various privileges due to her special status!

Ji Rui hesitated, his focused gaze fixed on her, sizing her up from top to bottom.

"Hmm?!" Le Tong raised an eyebrow, intuitively feeling that no good words would come out of the man’s mouth, yet still subconsciously wanting to know what he meant by "But."

"You seem to have lost weight again."

Ji Rui clearly remembered that when Le Tong first came to the Ji Family, her face still had a bit of baby fat, and then she started getting thinner and thinner.

No matter how well-behaved Baobao was, with her hardworking nature, it certainly couldn’t be easy.

"It’s not a problem, I’m healthy, losing a bit of weight is fine."

Le Tong tried to ignore the tenderness that appeared on his face when he said this, some things she didn’t want to see too clearly.

"How about asking Aunt Guan or Mo Xin to come and help you? After all, isn’t there a guest room over there now?"

With Le Tong, Ji Rui dared not use too forceful a tone, after all, in the past, his excessive domineering and forcefulness made Le Tong extremely resentful of him.

But even this negotiating tone still aroused Le Tong’s displeasure.

She stared at Ji Rui, "Mr. Ji, I can’t afford a nanny, but I promise, I will take good care of Baobao."

Moreover, during her working hours, the Ji family’s bodyguards would be at home with Baobao. Although those two burly men couldn’t really take care of Baobao, they could still roughly keep him company.

Ji Rui reluctantly backed down again, realizing that his strong tactics were increasingly ineffective with Le Tong.

Le Tong left the office holding a large stack of documents, sat at her desk, and swiftly began organizing the files.

The morning passed, and she had almost finished the work on her desk when the internal phone on her desk rang.

"I’ve asked Manager Chen to send over some takeout for you, you don’t need to go to the cafeteria for lunch."

Anyone else would be thrilled.

Or, if it were a year ago and Ji Rui said he would treat her to Longxiang’s takeout, Le Tong would be very happy too.

But now, she always felt like she was receiving special treatment.

"Mr. Ji, I’ll eat in the cafeteria." Le Tong directly refused Ji Rui’s kindness.

"Let’s eat together. I don’t quite understand some parts of the translation material you gave me earlier. You can explain it to me during lunch."

Ji Rui’s words, to Le Tong, sounded like a pure excuse, but she couldn’t expose him, so she had to say, "Alright, I’ll come in later."

Putting down the phone, Le Tong looked at the completed files on her desk and as she looked, she felt a bit strange inwardly.

In the past, that pile of documents would have taken her an entire day, or even required overtime.

But now, she had managed to handle most of them in just one morning.

Had her work efficiency improved? Or had the difficulty of the work decreased?

Puzzled, Le Tong picked up the unhandled documents on her desk and began to carefully go through them.

Looking at the first one, she didn’t notice anything. But by the second and third, she slowly began to notice something.

In several places in these documents, notes had been added, and these notes were in Ji Rui’s handwriting.

Usually, these notes would be added after Le Tong had completed her work and submitted them, for Ji Rui to mark the areas he thought needed improvement.

But now, he added these notes before her, which obviously reduced her workload significantly, turning what was normally a two-step process into one.

And the part of the work she saved was actually transferred to Ji Rui.

In other words, her job had become easier, but Ji Rui’s workload had increased.

Le Tong frowned, staring at the documents lost in thought for a moment, then finally stood up, holding the stack of files, and walked into Ji Rui’s office. Updates are released by novel[f]ire.net

Hearing the noise, Ji Rui did not look up, "Has the takeout arrived?"

"President, I don’t need your special care!"

Le Tong shoved the files in her hands in front of Ji Rui, her face cold as she spoke.
