Chapter 350: Arrogant Mr. Ji (Second Release)
Waiting outside on the terrace, Mr. Ji heard the noise inside, opened the door and walked in, immediately seeing CoCo, whose eyes were red with anger, being restrained by his bodyguards, pointing at Baobao and shouting in English!As soon as Baobao heard the door open, he immediately tossed the shredded documents into the air and jumped off the sofa, rushing toward Mr. Ji.
"Grandpa, she wants to hit Baobao... Grandpa, Baobao is scared..."
He said while pitifully burrowing into Mr. Ji’s embrace and pulling hard at his collar.
Mr. Ji frowned slightly, glanced at CoCo with some doubts; although he couldn’t catch what she was saying, from her angry expression and tone, he was certain that she was saying something extremely unpleasant.
"Sir, Miss CoCo she..." The bodyguard looked at Mr. Ji with a troubled expression.
The bodyguards restraining CoCo were Mr. Ji’s trusted aides, very competent in their actions. CoCo was Mr. Ji’s esteemed guest, and if she hadn’t intended to harm the little master, they certainly wouldn’t have intervened.
Mr. Ji understood this well, so he waved his hand and said to the bodyguards.
"Take her back to the hotel and settle her down first."
The bodyguards followed his orders and quickly escorted the still loudly ranting, almost crazed CoCo out.
Baobao nestled in Mr. Ji’s arms, perked up his ears for a while, and only when the surroundings were completely quiet did he lift his pitiful little face.
"Grandpa, that woman is very fierce and ugly, Baobao is scared!"
Mr. Ji rolled his eyes internally; she’s fierce and ugly, but she still surrendered in front of you, didn’t she?!
At this moment, Mr. Ji even felt a bit sympathetic towards CoCo. Although he didn’t know what Baobao said to her when he was outside, seeing her reaction just now, it must have been very unpleasant words that drove her to such a state.
Looking at her losing control like that, she’s likely going to need to see a psychologist properly when she returns, or she might end up with psychological scars.
"Alright, little ancestor, stop the act!"
Mr. Ji gritted his teeth and pinched Baobao’s face gently.
He has always overly doted on Baobao. More than anyone, he understands that much of the little rascal’s arrogant temper is largely due to his indulgence.
Only, he wonders how Le Tong tolerates this little brat’s bad temper.
Little did Mr. Ji know, at home, this young emperor who gets whatever he wants is like a meek little bunny in front of Le Tong, with absolutely no temper.
Baobao blinked, pouting with a soft voice, "Grandpa, Baobao wasn’t acting, Baobao is truly scared!"
He then shivered with his tiny figure, very much in tune with the scene. Baobao wasn’t foolish, he certainly wouldn’t admit that he was just acting.
Mr. Ji wanted to say something, but Baobao nudged further into his embrace, speaking in a muffled voice, "Grandpa, Baobao doesn’t want her as a stepmom... She’s a witch... Grandpa, Doctor Dong said, Baobao can’t be stressed..."
Mr. Ji frowned slightly, yes, he almost forgot, his dear little treasure had just recovered from an illness not too long ago. Apparently, he trusted CoCo too much, believing that she liked Baobao sincerely without harming him, but little did he know...
In the end, to cheer Baobao up, Mr. Ji took him out for a lavish lunch and bought several limited-edition airplane models, only then did Baobao’s frown start to turn into a smile.
...
As work was almost over in the afternoon, Le Tong, busy at Ji Family, received a call from Baobao.
"Mommy, Baobao made wontons with Sister Xinxin today, when are you and Daddy coming home?"
Originally, Le Tong thought that President Ji had hit a snag with her the past two days and surely wouldn’t shamelessly insist on coming home with her, secretly pleased that she wouldn’t have to face his cold demeanor today.
But unexpected, that brat Baobao actually paved the way for his daddy. It was his first time making something delicious, even if she didn’t like Ji Rui, she couldn’t deprive him of his fatherly rights nor let her son face disappointment after his efforts go unnoticed.
"Mommy can leave work on time, as for when your daddy can leave, I’m not too sure."
Le Tong hasn’t spoken much with Ji Rui all day, of course, it’s not her being petty, but the great President Ji didn’t even bother to glance at her.
Indeed, being repeatedly rejected by his little secretary, where could the dignified President Ji’s face possibly be placed?
Not scolding her nor making things difficult, probably, is already giving her enough face for Baobao’s sake.
"Gosh, can’t you ask Daddy, Mommy?" Baobao complained in a childish voice, to Le Tong’s ears, it was unmistakably a way of sweetly begging for attention.
Facing Baobao, Le Tong couldn’t help her heart softening, and her resolve weakened even more, plus, her beloved son’s little trick is her greatest weakness.
"Alright... I’ll go ask him..." With her heart softened and ear tempted, despite her reluctance, Le Tong naturally stepped up to the task verbally.
"Mm-hmm!" Baobao kissed the phone fiercely, "Hehe, Baobao will make more, Daddy can eat so much..."
Le Tong helplessly hung up the phone, stood up, took a deep breath, glanced once again at the bouquet of roses on the table that bloomed more brilliantly than in the morning, went to the door, and knocked.
"Come in!"
A steady and powerful voice responded, Le Tong pushed open the door but only held onto the doorknob, standing at the door, calling out to the man busy at the desk.
"President."
"What’s the matter?" The man still didn’t lift his head, his voice, still extremely cold.
If not for being pushed onto the stage by her beloved son, Le Tong would definitely slam the door and leave.
"Um..." Le Tong’s face pained as if suffering from a toothache.
Baobao, you really care for your mommy!
"Hm?!"
Over there, the man seemed to finally sense something amiss, suddenly lifting his head, those deep eyes gazing straight into hers.
Le Tong unnaturally turned away, avoiding his intense gaze, "Well... Baobao made wontons..."
She worried the man might misunderstand her invitation, suspecting she was using Baobao’s name to employ a strategy of feigned retreat to lure him in. Rejecting first, then offering some sweetness to tease his appetite.
"So?" The man suddenly became reserved.
Although she had clearly given him an out, he deliberately played dumb.
Le Tong secretly ground her teeth, this man is really not just ordinarily reserved and proud!
Le Tong raised her head, glaring at him fiercely, "So, Baobao asked when you’ll be off work, he has already made a bunch of wontons waiting for his daddy to taste and favor them!"
