Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 106 No Beautiful Older Sister
Chapter 106: Chapter 106 No Beautiful Older Sister
Ji Rui spent a few days having the guest room next to his own renovated into Ji Baby’s bedroom. The housekeeping company, following Ji Rui’s request, found two babysitters: one was a forty-something lady named Aunt Guan, responsible for the daily living and dining of father and son, the other was a young woman who graduated in early childhood education, named Xu Xin, specifically tasked with educating and accompanying Ji Baby.
Ji Rui conducted a detailed inquiry with the two babysitters and, feeling satisfied, let them go home to pack their things so they could start working the next day.
After all these arrangements, Ji Rui rushed back to the big house overnight.
The plan to take Ji Baby out to live was only mentioned to Yang Sheng. No one in the Ji Family, including the old man, or even Ji Baby himself, had any inkling.
In the end, he was still afraid that once the old man knew his plan, he would take various actions to intervene.
When Ji Rui returned to the big house, the dutiful butler, awakened by the noise, followed him, wearing a coat, "Young Master Ji, it’s so late, are you staying overnight?"
"No!" Ji Rui didn’t even glance at the butler, heading straight to the nursery room.
Upon entering the nursery room, Ji Rui closed the door, isolating the butler outside.
With the dim small lamp on Ji Baby’s excessively large bed, there was a big bulge. No need to guess — it must be Ji Baby curled up in the blanket.
Ji Rui didn’t hurry to see his darling son but instead went into the wardrobe, found a thick, large hooded down jacket, and walked to the bed with the jacket, gently lifting the blanket.
Inside the blanket, Ji Baby was pouting, hugging a small yellow duckling, sound asleep.
This small yellow duckling was caught by Ji Baby himself with a metal claw during a play outing a few days ago. It was a cheap item, but Ji Baby cherished it dearly!
Ji Rui covered Ji Baby with the jacket and clothes, carried him up in his arms, and kissed Ji Baby’s warm cheek.
"Baby, daddy is taking you home!"
Since the moment the old man liquidated his shares, this big house no longer meant home to Ji Rui.
"Young Master Ji, what is this about?"
The butler, standing outside the door, saw Ji Rui carrying Ji Baby, wrapped tightly like a little pig, and didn’t immediately comprehend what Young Master Ji intended to do.
"I’m taking Ji Baby back to my apartment. Tomorrow morning, I’ll take him to school myself."
Ji Rui is Ji Baby’s daddy, and regarding Ji Baby’s matters, naturally, he has the most say. When he said he would take Ji Baby away, the butler, of course, couldn’t oppose.
"Then I’ll arrange for someone to pick up the young master in the afternoon."
In the past, Ji Rui had tried returning suddenly to take Ji Baby away, but usually, he’d only take him for half a day and would mostly have the butler send someone to bring him back.
"No need!"
Receiving Young Master Ji’s straightforward response, the butler dared not say more, only following behind them to send father and son to the garage. Ji Rui said no more, silently carrying Ji Baby into the back seat and waving the butler off from outside the car, signaling him to go back before instructing the driver to start driving.
Back at the apartment, fearing that Ji Baby would be afraid waking up in a strange place, Ji Rui settled Ji Baby on his own big bed. After showering, he kissed Ji Baby lightly on the lips, then slipped under the covers and quickly fell asleep.
That night, Ji Rui slept uneasily, vaguely hearing the small figure in his arms calling, "Daddy... Daddy..."
Ji Rui suddenly opened his eyes, looking down, asked the wriggling Ji Baby in a hoarse voice, "Baby, what’s wrong?"
"Daddy... need to pee..."
Ji Baby mumbled sleepily, squirmed restlessly in Ji Rui’s arms a few more times.
Ji Rui chuckled softly in the dark, reaching to turn on the bedside lamp, and patted his bottom, "Quick, get up, otherwise, you’ll wet the bed!"
Since he was three, Ji Baby had been sleeping in the nursery room alone, and when he needed to pee, he’d get up and go to the bathroom by himself.
But like all children, in front of parents, they love to be pampered and are particularly dependent, hence the scene of Ji Baby clinging to Ji Rui, reluctant to get up.
Ji Baby squirmed in Ji Rui’s arms for a few more minutes, finally getting up in one swift motion, holding his tummy and running barefoot into the bathroom when he couldn’t hold it any longer.
Coming out of the bathroom, Ji Baby, eyes half-closed, drowsily climbed back into bed. This time, without saying a word, he naturally and instinctively snuggled back into Ji Rui’s arms, and within a few seconds, Ji Rui heard the rhythmic breathing of his son.
Ji Baby quickly fell asleep again, while Ji Rui, who was kept awake, held Ji Baby, eyes wide open until dawn.
"Daddy! Why is Ji Baby here?"
Ji Baby woke up early in the morning, rubbing his eyes with the back of his hand. He didn’t quite understand, given that he fell asleep on the big bed at the big house last night, why he woke up in daddy’s bed.
"Daddy used magic to bring you over!"
Ji Rui reached out to pinch Ji Baby’s chubby face, surprisingly making a rare joke.
Ji Baby stood up in front of Ji Rui, reaching out his chubby arms to hug Ji Rui’s neck, hanging on him.
"Wow, daddy’s amazing, can you make mommy appear?"
The little face filled with anticipation was so close to Ji Rui’s that his initially smiling lips stiffened because of Ji Baby’s words.
"Baby, mommy is an adult, she can’t be conjured!"
Ji Rui patted Ji Baby’s bouncy buttocks, speaking softly.
Ji Baby’s little face immediately fell, releasing his hold on Ji Rui’s neck, pouting as he turned and slid off the bed, running barefoot into the washroom with little "tap tap" sounds.
Ji Rui sighed slightly, getting out of bed, he picked up Ji Baby’s small yellow duck slippers and walked into the bathroom.
In the bathroom, Ji Baby was standing barefoot on the stool, reaching for a cup, filling it with water, getting ready to brush his teeth.
Ji Rui squatted beside him, gently lifting his foot to put the furry slippers on.
"Baby, what do you want for breakfast? Daddy will ask Aunt Guan to cook for you."
Ji Baby took a mouthful of water, tilted his head back, gargled a few times, then "poofed" the water onto the mirror.
"Who is Aunt Guan?" The little foodie’s attention shifted from missing mommy to the babysitter named Aunt Guan.
"Aunt Guan is a babysitter specifically to take care of you, and there’s also Sister Xinxin who plays with you."
After Ji Rui explained, Ji Baby’s eyes flickered, the previously subdued excitement and anticipation slowly reemerging.
"Sister Xinxin? Is she the one who made curry fish balls for me?"
Ji Baby blinked, not noticing how his words had given away the previous casual babysitter.
Ji Rui was slightly stunned, was Ji Baby imagining things or did someone actually gossip in front of him?
"Baby, who said that was a sister? Didn’t daddy tell you? That person is an old granny; how can she be a pretty sister?"
For some reason, Ji Rui had a gut feeling that once Ji Baby met Le Tong, troubles would certainly pop up one after another!
