Chapter 341: Chapter 341

Under their soft and hard pressure, Le Tong finally agreed to let Mo Xin come over every afternoon to help look after Baobao. Why Mo Xin instead of Aunt Guan? The reason is simple, besides playing with Baobao, Mo Xin can also serve as Baobao’s home tutor, whereas Aunt Guan is just a regular nanny.

With someone else at home to watch Baobao, Le Tong naturally felt much more at ease and didn’t have to rush home as soon as she got off work like she did before. However, it also meant Ji Rui found it even more convenient to drop by her home.

Before, he would sing a dual-act with Baobao to find excuses to leave work with her. Now, as soon as the workday was over, he’d simply grab his bag and step out, "Le Tong, let’s go." Read full story at n̷o̷v̷e̷l̷f̷i̷r̷e̷.net

After this scenario repeated for a few days, Le Tong couldn’t hold back any longer, "Mr. Ji, if I remember correctly, your home should be in Longxing Garden."

Ji Rui’s face was calm, showing no embarrassment at being caught red-handed.

"Ding Bao will miss me."

Le Tong should be grateful he no longer said ridiculous things like "taking care of him when he’s old". But whether he said Baobao would miss him, it meant about the same thing.

Le Tong ground her teeth, "Then, just go up and see him and leave."

"Alright!" The man agreed quite readily.

Following Le Tong home, he was indeed well-behaved, playing with Baobao for a while before politely excusing himself.

Le Tong hadn’t even finished being pleased when Baobao pounced over and hugged her waist, acting cute and begging.

"Mommy, Daddy is so lonely at home, he can’t even eat well, and no one talks to him..."

Le Tong raised her eyes to glance at Ji Rui. The man stood there silently, as if he was ready to turn and leave any moment.

"Mommy mommy..." Baobao shook Le Tong’s waist vigorously, making her dizzy.

"Alright, alright, let your Daddy stay for dinner, okay?"

Le Tong glared at Ji Rui, wondering why she believed he would obediently leave after watching Baobao.

Obviously, she blamed Baobao’s plea on his behalf onto Ji Rui.

Baobao got the answer he wanted and giggled, letting go of her and pulling her hand towards the kitchen, "Baobao will help Mommy wash the vegetables, okay?"

Le Tong pinched his cheek, "Go play your game, Mommy can manage."

Baobao now is not like before, even a little inflammation could make him uncomfortable for a long time. If accidentally cut in the kitchen, the consequences could be severe.

Baobao was a bit disappointed, turned to look at Ji Rui, his eyes lit up, released Le Tong, and ran to Ji Rui, placing his hand on his butt and pushing hard.

"Daddy, go help Mommy, she’s worked all day, very tired."

Le Tong shot Ji Rui another glare and said, "No need, I can do it myself," before turning and heading into the kitchen.

Would a man who needs coffee brought to him actually help her in the kitchen? She didn’t believe it!

Whether she believed it or not, Ji Rui followed her into the kitchen just as she went in.

"I’ll help you wash the vegetables."

As he spoke, Ji Rui raised his hands, deftly unbuttoning his shirt cuffs and naturally rolling up his sleeves.

Le Tong initially wanted to say no, but then thought, since he was so enthusiastic, why not let him try?

"Suit yourself." Le Tong took some meat out from the fridge, lowering her head to handle it, not caring what Ji Rui did.

"The theme park is set to open on the Mid-Autumn Festival. Yang Sheng and the others have chosen three opening ceremony plans, you can help me look at them later to see which is more suitable."

Ji Rui spoke while cutting off the yellow leaves of the vegetables with a small knife. He had never done this work before but naturally, this simple task wasn’t difficult for him.

"Many ideas for the theme park originate from Baobao, right?"

Le Tong was aware of this point.

"Yes, I plan to have Baobao in charge of the lighting ceremony."

The common topic between the two, besides work, was Baobao. Ji Rui seemed to have realized that talking to Le Tong about these topics was the least likely to hit a snag.

"Have you talked to Baobao? It’s best to consult Doctor Dong first, after all, there will be a lot of people at the opening ceremony."

Le Tong was most concerned about Baobao’s physical endurance.

Places with too many people are not suitable for Baobao, and he can’t do strenuous activities for now.

"Before the opening, I will take Baobao back to the hospital for a check-up, following Doctor Dong’s advice."

Regarding his son’s health, Ji Rui was naturally very concerned too.

However, what he wanted to say today wasn’t just that.

"At that time, I want you to accompany Baobao in the lighting ceremony, is that okay?"

Ji Rui asked carefully because he felt Le Tong probably wouldn’t like being in the spotlight.

"No!" Sure enough, Le Tong immediately raised her head, refusing him without thinking.

"But, Baobao wants you to accompany him..." Ji Rui tried to persuade her.

In fact, it wasn’t just Baobao, he also wanted Le Tong to accompany them during the lighting ceremony. That way, it would implicitly tell the public that Le Tong is Baobao’s mommy.

Of course, it would also indicate to everyone that Le Tong’s relationship with him, Ji Rui, was far from simple.

However, what he thought of, Le Tong could figure out too.

"Mr. Ji, if this is really Baobao’s wish, I will convince him, Baobao is fine with just you accompanying him."

Just thinking about her, a little secretary, accompanying the president and his beloved son for the lighting ceremony is enough to know what speculation and stir it would cause.

In the coming days, she still wants to work well and live well, how can she unnecessarily invite such a big trouble upon herself?

"But..." Ji Rui wanted to say more, but Le Tong simply grabbed the vegetables from his hand, "Mr. Ji, go entertain Baobao, it’s too cramped here, there’s no room for two people to even turn around."

With a look of helplessness, Ji Rui was pushed out of the kitchen by Le Tong and plopped down on the sofa. Baobao, who had been quietly curled up on the sofa reading, raised his head to give him a disdainful look.

"Stupid Daddy, made Mommy angry again?"

Ji Rui nodded, "Seems so."

Baobao set his book aside and climbed onto him hands and feet.

"Mommy is easy to coax, why do you always make her angry?" Baobao looked puzzled.

Ji Rui patted his head, "That’s you, trying to coax her feels like stepping on her tail."

President Ji himself didn’t think about it; in the past, his way to her was often to coax then harshly slap around, whoever it was, would no longer be easily fooled by sweet words.

Moreover, Le Tong was very clear-minded.

Ji Rui’s intentions towards her, though she might not guess perfectly, she could get seventy to eighty percent right. Knowing the other party laid bait to lure her, if she still stupidly fell for it, she’d only have herself to blame for getting caught.

However, at present, she hasn’t thought of being captured by anyone. Especially not, by him.
