Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 26: The Secretary is a Treasure

Just like how male dogs love to mark their territory by urinating, it’s in a man’s nature to label the people or things around him as his own.

Although President Ji hasn’t realized it yet, when he thought that Zhuo Jiarui, the future head of the Zhuo Family, wasn’t good enough for his little secretary, his subconscious had already marked Le Tong as his private possession.

His little secretary!

That’s exactly what he thought at the time.

As for when this subconscious thought began, was it from the moment he saw her graceful figure in the hotel? Or from that drunken night they spent together?

Or perhaps even earlier? It’s impossible to trace!

Unfortunately, this subconscious thought was buried so deep in President Ji’s heart for so long that when he suddenly realized one day that Le Tong had too many "his Ji Rui’s..." labels on her, it was seemingly a bit too late.

And now, even though there’s a small knot in President Ji’s heart, he still sits in the living room eating dumplings with a calm expression. For someone like him who can remain unfazed even if Mount Tai collapses before him, this small emotion is essentially negligible.

The dumplings were quickly devoured by Ji Rui, who then picked up a cup of coffee, sipping it slowly. Listening to the occasional clink of utensils from the kitchen and imagining Le Tong donned in an apron busy in the kitchen, Ji Rui suddenly found this strange scene of drinking coffee amidst the gentle clattering quite nice.

In the past, when the part-time worker cooked, he was mostly in the study or the gym. Even if he was in the living room, he was seriously reading the newspaper while drinking coffee, never hearing such sounds, let alone using his imagination to sketch the scene of the worker bustling in the kitchen.

He did not know that the sensitivity of the ears and imagination to sounds depends on the owner’s mood and preferences. If the owner doesn’t want to listen or know, it automatically filters out some noise; if the owner wants to hear and feel it, it becomes extremely sensitive. This is why Ji Rui could now clearly hear the sounds from the kitchen and conjure corresponding images in his mind.

While Ji Rui drank coffee and read the newspaper outside, Le Tong in the kitchen was methodically processing each food item and packing them in lunch boxes fetched from the pantry.

She also washed and dried the fruits, thinking about how children, being playful, easily get thirsty, and specially squeezed a large bottle of orange juice into a bottle.

After spending over an hour in the kitchen, Le Tong finally got all the food packed and ready.

While taking off the apron, she cast a satisfied glance at the delicious spread on the counter, imagining the Ji Family’s young master being all pleased as he ate the food, causing her to smile with joy.

She maintained the smile as she walked out into the living room.

Ji Rui, who was reading a finance magazine, heard footsteps and looked up.

In high spirits, Le Tong gave the cold-faced president a radiant smile, "President, the food is ready. I’m off now."

Saying so, she bent over to pick up the scarf and bag draped over another sofa, swiftly slinging on the bag and putting on the scarf, gave Ji Rui another smile, and turned to head towards the entrance.

Ji Rui hesitated for quite a few moments before slowly standing up, intending to suggest that the driver take her back. Meanwhile, Le Tong had already changed her shoes and slipped quickly out the door, closing it with a "bang".

Ji Rui put down the finance magazine and went to the kitchen for a look. On the counter were neatly arranged lunch boxes of various sizes, some even had little notes carefully stuck on top as reminders.

Ji Rui randomly opened one box, and inside was a full box of fragrant golden fish balls. Ji Rui was usually not particularly picky about food, but this time he couldn’t help but pick up a fish ball with his hand and put it in his mouth.

The bouncy fish ball with the rich curry flavor instantly captivated his taste buds, delicious!

He could almost imagine Ji Baby beaming with joy while eating these fish balls!

It seems that from tomorrow, the menu at the Ji Family mansion would have to include curry fish balls.

Who would have thought, his little secretary truly was a gem!
