Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife

Chapter 363: The Most Desired Happy Life (Third Update)

In the end, of course, President Ji got his wish and enjoyed the noodles hand-made by Le Tong.When he walked out the door contentedly, Baobao gave each of them a kiss on the cheek and then stood at the door waving energetically, "Daddy Mommy, Bye-Bye!"

In the past, Ji Rui’s mind was always occupied with plans for the development of the Ji Family, but at the moment when Baobao waved goodbye to him and Le Tong, Ji Rui suddenly realized that this scene was the happiness he truly desired.

He didn’t dare to share these thoughts with Le Tong.

And Le Tong, seemingly unaware of his change, returned to the company with him, going about her work as usual.

Around lunchtime, Le Tong walked in and said to the busy Ji Rui.

"Mr. Ji, I’d like to invite you and Senior Brother to lunch!"

Ji Rui, feeling flattered, looked up somewhat skeptically, "You’re treating me to lunch?"

Whether intentionally or not, he had already ignored Yang Sheng’s presence.

"Yes, you and Senior Brother have been busy for a year, finally getting elected as the association’s president. Let’s celebrate with a good meal at noon."

Contrary to him, Le Tong insisted on including Yang Sheng.

Though Ji Rui would prefer a quiet meal with just her, under the current circumstances, that idea might not become reality anytime soon.

Luckily, he had plenty of time to wait!

Le Tong chose the Chinese restaurant across from the Ji Mansion for their meal.

When the server came over with a handheld device to take their order, Le Tong and Ji Rui simultaneously looked at Yang Sheng and said in unison, "You decide!"

Yang Sheng rolled his eyes, "Ugh! Am I too bright a third wheel? Making me order, isn’t that putting me in a tough spot? Who knows what you guys like to eat?"

Even while complaining, Yang Sheng quickly looked over the menu and skillfully ordered a bunch of dishes suited to the tastes of three people.

Le Tong enjoyed her leisure time, used to Yang Sheng’s teasing, she was savoring the pre-meal cocktail sent by the server.

"Miss, what ingredients are in this special drink?"

Le Tong, finding the sweet and sour cocktail delightful, looked up and asked the server.

The server maintained a polite smile, "Miss, I’m sorry, this is our chef’s secret recipe, and the method isn’t shared."

Though disappointed, Le Tong smiled understandingly and nodded, "Alright, I understand."

After the server walked away, Ji Rui also took a sip of his drink, turned to Le Tong, and asked, "Do you like it?"

Le Tong neither confirmed nor denied, "This drink seems to be made by blending several fruits, but I can’t precisely tell what they are. This sweet and sour taste, Baobao would probably love it."

Yang Sheng tried it as well, nodding in agreement with Le Tong’s assessment.

"Indeed, Baobao does enjoy drinks with this kind of taste."

Ji Rui said nothing and just watched as Le Tong, furrowing her brow, tasted the drink carefully, apparently trying to discern its ingredients.

"Tongtong, when exactly are you inviting me over for a meal at your place?" Yang Sheng brought up an old topic.

A sharp light flickered in Ji Rui’s eyes as he intently watched Yang Sheng, not waiting for Le Tong to answer, he replied on her behalf.

"How about this Saturday."

Yang Sheng gave him a disdainful look, "Tch, I’m asking Tongtong, why are you putting on the patriarch façade to answer me? You’re not the one cooking!"

Ji Rui took a sip of tea, calmly saying, "I can cook just fine, but do you have the courage to eat it?!"

Yang Sheng grimaced, raising his hand in surrender, "Alright, I misspoke! Your cooking skills, which not even a stray dog can stomach, I’m truly not brave enough to try!"

Le Tong was amused by their banter, evidently, Ji Rui’s poor cooking skills were well-known.

"Let’s make it this Saturday, Baobao said he misses you too."

She chose to ignore Yang Sheng’s teasing about her and Ji Rui.

Midway through the meal, Yang Sheng seemed to recall something and nudged Ji Rui’s foot under the table.

"Rui, don’t tell me, after slogging away for a whole year, my only rewards are this meal and another on Saturday?!"

Ji Rui raised an eyebrow, "Any objections?"

"Of course! I’m not a saint, there should be some substantial reward, right?"

Ji Rui kicked him back, "You should be content. Who else but you gets the joy of eating food our Baobao helps make?"

"Baobao helps? Seriously?"

"Of course it’s true, the wontons that day were made by Baobao!"

The pride in Ji Rui’s voice was obvious, his smile seemingly said, look how capable my son is!!

Yang Sheng was still skeptical, "Are you sure Baobao didn’t cheat? With a dad like you..."

Ji Rui pointed at Le Tong, "Did you forget who Baobao’s mommy is? I personally saw Baobao making those that day, no cheating involved!"

Le Tong, at first, wanted to ignore these slightly childish men, but listening to their conversation, she couldn’t help but interject.

"Don’t worry, Senior Brother, I’m treating you two to this meal today, and Saturday’s meal is on me and Baobao. As for the substantial reward you want, go ahead and boldly ask Mr. Ji for it!"

With one sentence, Le Tong distanced herself from Ji Rui.

Yang Sheng was momentarily stunned, but upon realizing, he looked at Ji Rui with some sympathy.

Ji Rui seemed used to Le Tong occasionally dousing his warm fuzziness with a cold bucket of water, asking Yang Sheng with a straight face.

"Do you want to check your account balance now?"

Understanding his implication, Yang Sheng replied, "Ha, no need. But I do want to check any recent travel recommendations."

Ji Rui shot him a look, "Don’t mess around, with the theme park opening soon, if you leave, who’s going to oversee things?"

Yang Sheng made a pained face and turned to Le Tong for help, "Tongtong, please return the workaholic Mr. Ji to me!"

Yang Sheng, already busy, had anticipated that after Baobao was discharged, Ji Rui would take back the CEO duties completely.

Unexpectedly, President Ji, once a workaholic from the start, seemed to be living a leisurely 9 to 5 lifestyle now, leaving much of the work and almost all business trips onto Yang Sheng.

Le Tong coughed awkwardly, pretending not to hear his plea.

"Yang Sheng, you’d better hire a full-time assistant through a headhunting company tomorrow, Baobao’s not fully recovered yet, I need to spend more time with him!"

Ji Rui said this without blushing, but both he and Yang Sheng knew that aside from Baobao, the companionship included Le Tong!
