Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife

Chapter 369 Declaration of Sovereignty: Part 1 (First Update)

After finishing morning tea and coming out of the Dragon Hotel, Le Tong thought Ji Rui would ask the driver to take Ji Baby home first. However, Ji Rui asked Ji Baby, "Baobao, do you want to go to work with daddy and mommy today?"The little guy instantly perked up, hugging Ji Rui’s neck and covering his face with kisses.

"Can I? Can I go with daddy and mommy?"

In this matter, Baobao had always shown that he was sensible and measured.

Even though he knew he was recovering and could use this as an opportunity to be spoiled, when Le Tong went to work, he never fussed or argued. He was always well-behaved, waiting at home for her to come back and keep him company after work.

In his heart, he knew better than anyone else that his parents’ relationship was still in a cold war period (which was his understanding of their relationship). If he misbehaved and made mommy angry, she might leave him and daddy behind and run off to D Province again like last time.

So, even though he actually wished Le Tong could be with him all day, he never dared to mention it.

Even though he knew Le Tong was working at his daddy’s company, he never dared to ask to go to work with her or anything like that.

As for Le Tong, she was even more unwilling to make any special arrangements.

She thought no one at the company knew she was Ji Baby’s biological mother, except for Yang Sheng. So when she heard Ji Rui asking Baobao this, her first reaction was that if her relationship with Baobao was exposed, how would people at the company misunderstand her relationship with Ji Rui?

Old flames? Or a one-night stand?

She didn’t know that yesterday at the banquet, rumors about President Ji and the little secretary had already spread throughout the Ji Family company by the afternoon. Now, whether or not she brought Ji Baby back to the Ji Family, people at the company had already changed her identity from the CEO’s secretary to the future CEO’s wife.

As for Ji Rui’s real intention to bring Ji Baby back to the Ji Family, there was no doubt that it was a planned move. Of course, Le Tong was the one deliberately kept in the dark.

"Mr. Ji, isn’t this... not quite appropriate?"

Even though her dear son was very enthusiastic about the idea of going back to the Ji Family, it wasn’t enough to alleviate Le Tong’s worries.

Ji Rui didn’t even look at her, just kissed Bao Bao’s forehead and said casually, "Baobao is the young master of the Ji Family, the future heir of the Ji Family. What’s wrong with him visiting the Ji Family? Right, Bao?"

It was obvious that Ji Rui was deliberately downplaying Le Tong’s presence, trying to reduce her wariness.

But even though he said that, Le Tong still felt vaguely uneasy. She always felt like she was being schemed against by this man.

But she couldn’t quite figure out what the scheme was, after all, Ji Rui wasn’t wrong. Ji Baby was indeed the young master of the Ji Family, and taking a tour around with his CEO father was certainly reasonable.

Baobao snuggled into Le Tong’s arms, "Yeah, Baobao is going to do big things in the future. Treat it as winning hearts in advance!"

Le Tong glanced at her son, who was not even six years old, not knowing whether to be angry or to laugh, pinching his cheek and humming.

"You little rascal, you really are Mr. Ji’s son. At such a young age, you already have such a strong commercial instinct!"

Ji Rui leaned back, crossed his long legs, and tapped his fingers on his thighs, "Of course, the sooner Baobao takes over, the sooner I can retire."

Baobao crawled up from Le Tong’s lap, kneeling on her thigh, looking at Le Tong and then at Ji Rui, and said proudly, "Yeah, then daddy can accompany mommy to travel around the world..."

Le Tong was annoyed, this little devil! He was always scheming to package her off with his daddy!

"Ji Yu, don’t talk nonsense!" Le Tong deliberately scolded Baobao with a stern face.

Unexpectedly, the man, looking lazy, raised his lips and squinted at her, "Hmm, Baobao’s suggestion is not bad."

The result of the father and son singing in harmony was that Le Tong directly stuffed Ji Yu into his CEO father’s arms, picked up her phone to browse the web, and ignored the two of them.

Yet even so, in the end, Ji Baby still went back to the Ji Family with her and Ji Rui.

And Le Tong, although she didn’t like it, she couldn’t bear to be heartless and reject her son, leaving him home alone. In the end, she had to set three rules with Baobao before getting out of the car.

"Baobao, no matter who you see later, you can’t talk nonsense, understand?"

"Okay!" Baobao nodded his head like a good child.

"If someone asks about your daddy and mommy, just say it’s adult stuff and you, as a kid, don’t know, got it?"

"Okay!" Baobao nodded vigorously, but in his heart, he thought, hmph, I know a lot! Thıs text ıs hosted at novel•fire.net

"Don’t tell anyone about Baobao living at mommy’s house, okay?"

This time, Baobao didn’t immediately agree. Instead, he blinked and asked with a puzzled face, "Why? Baobao is mommy’s child, what’s wrong with living at mommy’s house?" After asking, he snuggled into her arms with a wronged look.

Le Tong was stumped, paused, and then said, "Mommy is just thinking about Baobao’s safety."

As far as she knew, Baobao had always had bodyguards around him, both in the past and now. So this reason should be barely sufficient.

Baobao tilted his head and thought for a moment, reluctantly accepting Le Tong’s reason, then lowered his head and pouted, "Oh, okay... Baobao knows!"

Ji Rui, sitting nearby, quietly listened to Le Tong’s long list of instructions to Baobao but didn’t express any opinion. He waited until Le Tong said, "Let’s get out," before opening the car door and lifting Baobao out.

Once out of the car, Baobao stood by the door, reaching out to help Le Tong out. Le Tong placed her hand on Baobao’s and got out. Baobao, holding Ji Rui’s hand with one hand and Le Tong’s with the other, happily walked toward the Ji Family’s entrance. He didn’t forget to tell Xiao Li in the car.

"Uncle Li, help my daddy and mommy with their bags!"

Xiao Li responded with an "OK!" and drove the car to the underground parking lot in a flash.

Only then did Le Tong realize, why wasn’t the driver driving straight into the underground parking lot like usual today? Why did they get dropped off outside the Ji Family’s entrance?

While Le Tong was still puzzled, Baobao had already pulled her and Ji Rui to the entrance, where two security guards, upon seeing them, had already opened the glass doors early to greet them at the door.

"Good morning, President. Good morning, Miss Le. Good morning, Young Master!"

"Good morning, uncles!" Ji Baby bounced along holding their hands, greeting them in his childish voice. Then he turned to them and said with a smile, "Uncles look very sharp and handsome in their uniforms!"

The two security guards immediately stood upright, adjusting their already neatly pressed uniforms.

Le Tong rolled her eyes in her mind, this little guy is a natural at winning people’s hearts. Compared to his daddy’s eternally expressionless face, they’re worlds apart!
