Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 74 Very Beautiful Sister
Chapter 74: Chapter 74 Very Beautiful Sister
The little one jumped down and dove into Ji Rui’s arms in an instant, just enough time for Le Tong to catch a glimpse of the little one’s fair, cute mushroom head and chubby face, but not enough to see the detailed facial features.
The little one’s chubby white hands encircled Ji Rui’s waist, rubbing against him a few times, before standing firmly by his side. Nearly five years old, the child reached just above Ji Rui’s belt, and Ji Rui’s large hand naturally landed on the little one’s head, gently tousling it.
Whatever the father and son were discussing, Le Tong couldn’t hear. The dusk’s glow enveloped them, wreathing the pair in a halo of light.
Ji Rui lowered his head, speaking to Baobao. His straight nose and thick black brows cast a deep, handsome shadow under the golden evening light.
The little one gazed slightly upwards, contours similar to Ji Rui’s were gilded by the sunlight, at this moment, Le Tong felt as though she was looking at an angel.
So adorable!
Le Tong initially just admired Ji Rui’s looks, but now, both her attention and gaze were completely captivated by Ji Baby.
A five-year-old boy, turns out they are this tall!
"Tongtong, do you need a tissue?"
Yang Sheng’s teasing voice suddenly came from behind Le Tong, and then a pat landed on her shoulder.
Le Tong had difficulty pulling her gaze away, turning her head slightly to glance at Yang Sheng.
"Senior, don’t let me catch you sneaking peeks at beauties next time!"
Yang Sheng raised an eyebrow at her, "Why would I need to sneak a peek? I look straight at them all the time! But you, peeking at the President like that, is it alright?"
Le Tong elbowed Yang Sheng, "What nonsense! I’m looking at the little one, who’s looking at the President?"
Le Tong would never admit that before she saw Ji Baby, she was indeed drawn by Ji Rui’s appearance.
Indeed, Le Tong always believed that everyone has an appreciation of beauty. Just like men admiring beautiful women, women looking at handsome men is purely from an appreciation perspective, without any emotional nuances.
Yang Sheng glanced at the father and son chatting intimately in the distance, "Him? Don’t be fooled by his angelic cuteness, he’s actually a Little Demon King!"
Le Tong’s gaze fell on Ji Baby’s face once more, catching him in a moment of wide-mouthed laughter, exuding an angelic glow; she spoke as if in a trance, "How is that possible?"
Le Tong’s expression turned complex as she stared at Ji Baby, while Yang Sheng assumed she was remembering her mother and patted her shoulder.
"I invited the President and Baobao to enjoy seafood buffet, want to join?"
Le Tong knew better and quickly took a few steps back, "I’m not going, I need to buy a gift for the teacher’s wife. Bye, Senior Brother."
Yang Sheng watched her silhouette recede into the distance, then took large strides towards the father and son.
"Baobao!"
Ji Baby turned around, looked up, saw it was him, and happily dashed over. "Uncle Sheng!"
Yang Sheng picked up Baobao, but addressed Ji Rui, "I just ran into Tongtong and invited her to dinner, but she declined."
Although Ji Rui felt this statement from Yang Sheng was a bit random, he still shifted his gaze towards Le Tong’s direction of departure and saw her slender back in the distance.
"Why invite her, an outsider?" Ji Rui recalled Yang Sheng’s previous words about trust and frowned slightly.
Yang Sheng laughed, "Relax, compared to your lack of interest in associating with her, Tongtong is even more disinterested!"
Ji Rui was slightly moved, shot a disdainful look at him, "I am not involved with her at all, you’re the one trying to stir things up. Fortunately, I know you well, otherwise, I’d think you changed during your overseas stint."
Yang Sheng walked towards Ji Rui’s car holding Baobao, "Whether there’s a connection or not is about you two, it’s really none of my business."
Ji Rui furrowed his brows and followed briskly.
"Yang Sheng, you’ve really turned into a damn nag, have you really changed?"
President Ji seemed genuinely incensed by Yang Sheng, swearing in front of Baobao.
Luckily, Ji Baby was completely absorbed in the forthcoming buffet joy, ignoring the conversation between Daddy and Uncle Sheng.
"Whether or not I’ve changed isn’t the point, the point is you’re bothered by these words, right?"
Recently, Yang Sheng’s amusement outside of work seemed to lie in relentlessly poking at President Ji’s sore points, and when he found them, he would poke unrelenting and ruthlessly.
Ji Rui sat by his son, closed the car door, and coldly grunted, silent, seemingly unwilling to engage Yang Sheng further.
Yang Sheng wisely fell silent too, pulling Ji Baby into his arms, rubbing Baobao’s chubby cheeks, and asked, "Baobao, what do you want for your fifth birthday present?"
Baobao bit his finger, tilted his head thinking, "Can Uncle Sheng and Daddy take me to the amusement park again?"
Yang Sheng nodded, "Of course, and besides visiting the amusement park, Baobao can also choose another gift!"
"Then can Uncle Sheng ask Daddy to give the old lady to Baobao?"
Originally, Yang Sheng wasn’t paying much attention to this old lady, but hearing Baobao mention her repeatedly, he realized Baobao’s obsession was beyond imagination.
He couldn’t help but grow curious about this old lady, nudging Ji Rui, asking, "Who exactly is this old lady that Baobao misses so? Is she impossibly beautiful or has three heads and six arms?"
Ji Rui glared at him without responding.
If Yang Sheng knew the old lady was actually Le Tong, who knows what he’d think.
Thinking about the undisclosed version of Le Tong known only to himself, the mood that Yang Sheng spoiled turned sunny and inexplicably bright.
Yang Sheng saw Ji Rui ignoring him, so he turned to Ji Baby.
"Baobao, tell Uncle Sheng, is the old lady very pretty?"
Ji Baby blinked a few times, shook his head, "Baobao doesn’t know... Baobao hasn’t seen the old lady..."
Yang Sheng grew even more curious, "Rui, surely you’re not hiding a Snail Girl at home?"
Ji Rui still didn’t reply, yet Ji Baby was intrigued. "Uncle Sheng, what is a Snail Girl?"
Yang Sheng then proceeded to educate Ji Baby by telling him the story of the Snail Girl.
As the story concluded, the car pulled into the restaurant’s parking lot.
Yang Sheng got off the car carrying Ji Baby, and Ji Baby wrapped his arms around Yang Sheng’s neck, whispered into his ear.
"Uncle Sheng, I think Daddy might really have a Snail Girl hidden at home!"
Yang Sheng’s interest piqued, and he slowed down deliberately to follow behind Ji Rui, "What? Did Baobao see her in person?" He lowered his voice trying to sound mysterious.
Baobao shook his head again, his lovely eyes glinting mischievously, "Baobao hasn’t seen, but the nanny secretly told Baobao that the cook is actually not the old lady, but a very pretty, pretty Sister!"
