Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife

Chapter 374: Simply, Rent a Boyfriend? (One more update)

Le Tong was worried about where to find a temporary "boyfriend." She even opened a rent-a-girlfriend/boyfriend website, thinking maybe she should just rent a boyfriend to anger Ji Rui.But if she really rented a man to pretend to be her boyfriend, could she deceive Ji Rui’s sharp eyes?

Besides, even if she could fool Ji Rui, she couldn’t fool Baobao!

Moreover, glancing at the cost of renting a boyfriend, three hundred yuan per hour? Holding hands adds a hundred, hugging adds two hundred, kissing adds three hundred...

For crying out loud, isn’t this daylight robbery?

Annoyed, Le Tong closed the webpage, couldn’t come up with any solutions despite thinking hard, and finally decided to ignore everything and finish the work at hand first.

It’s not that being angry with Ji Rui put her in such a predicament that she still valued work so much, but if she didn’t find something to distract herself from the pile of "good deeds" Ji Rui did today, she’d definitely go crazy, or worse, just crash!

Meanwhile, in the CEO’s office, Baobao was sitting on a chair he had moved next to Ji Rui. After only a few minutes, he couldn’t sit still.

"Daddy, you said Mommy’s not angry anymore; why hasn’t she come in for so long?"

Since Ji Rui came in, he hadn’t paid much attention to Baobao because he actually had a pile of work to do.

"Your Mommy has to work, she won’t come in for sure!"

From what Ji Rui knew about Le Tong, she, although angry, wouldn’t delay work matters.

"Oh..." Baobao said bored, putting his chin on the desk. His black eyes rolled around a few times, scanning the computer screen on Ji Rui’s desk and the cactus he gave, and suddenly his eyes blinked brightly.

"Daddy, why isn’t there a photo on your desk?"

Ji Rui didn’t react for a moment. "What photo?"

"A photo of Daddy, Mommy, and Baobao, of course!" Baobao said matter-of-factly.

Ji Rui raised his head and gave Baobao a thoughtful look.

Baobao seemed to instantly understand, "Okay, got it, leave it to Baobao!"

The little guy patted his chest, promising, and after sitting next to Ji Rui a while longer, bored, he yawned several times before finally slipping down and running out to find Le Tong.

Sitting outside, just as Ji Rui said, Le Tong was typing away at her keyboard.

"Mommy..." Baobao dutifully dragged a chair over.

"What’s up? Bored?"

Le Tong immediately stopped typing, turned to look at Baobao climbing onto the chair, worried he might fall, she gently supported his bottom.

"Not bored, you focus on your work, don’t mind Baobao."

Baobao behaved like a good obedient boy, taking out a handheld game from his backpack and started playing. He knew very well if he acted naughty, Mommy wouldn’t bring him back next time.

Seeing this, Le Tong comfortingly patted his head.

After finishing a game, Baobao looked up at Le Tong, "Mommy, Daddy just asked Baobao to ask you where you want to eat lunch?"

Actually, since Ji Rui went in, he’d been busy and hadn’t mentioned lunch.

"Wherever Baobao wants to go!"

Le Tong didn’t hesitate in her response. With her son around, she could pretty much completely ignore Ji Rui.

"Can we have a seafood feast?" Baobao was dying to eat seafood, but according to Doctor Dong, he shouldn’t consume too much high-protein, high-fat food right now.

"No way!" Le Tong was very indulgent with Baobao but never blindly spoiled him.

"Okay... then how about some home-style food?"

Le Tong thought about the nice ambience of the "Ordinary People" restaurant they used to frequent, "Okay, let’s go to Ordinary People then."

After communicating with Le Tong, Baobao hopped off the chair and dashed back into Ji Rui’s office.

Baobao had been in there for quite a while, so Le Tong assumed he was with Ji Rui and didn’t pay much attention, burying her head back in her work.

The phone rang, but it wasn’t the office phone; it was her mobile phone.

Looking at it, unexpectedly, it was Luo Yifan, who she hadn’t contacted much since Baobao was discharged.

"Yifan?" She had been thinking about whether to ask him to pretend to be her boyfriend and here he was, contacting her out of the blue.

"Tongtong, you still owe me a meal, remember?"

Of course, Le Tong hadn’t forgotten. Thanks to Luo Yifan and Luo Yuanyuan helping her organize things at home, she and Baobao could move into a clean, comfortable home right after leaving the hospital.

"Of course, I haven’t forgotten, it’s just that Baobao is still in the recovery stage. I was planning to ask you and Yuanyuan out for a get-together one of these days."

This was indeed an idea Le Tong had. However, one thing after another had cropped up; first, there was buying a new place, then returning to work for the Ji family, and then the move. She had only two hands to manage work and take care of her child, leaving her with no time to think about anything else or to find some fun to relax and unwind.

"I’m currently at the coffee shop opposite the Ji family. A new French chef has been hired here, how about you come over and treat me to lunch to settle the debt?"

Le Tong didn’t think much of it at the time, only considering it a coincidence that Luo Yifan called.

At the moment, she didn’t intend to use him as a cover, but she did owe him a favor. Being blatantly pursued like this without repaying was not something she could do.

"Alright, but I’ll be bringing someone else, is that okay?"

Luo Yifan seemed slightly startled, and after a pause, asked, "Who are you bringing?"

"Baobao! He’s with me at work today; I can’t just leave him here alone. If it’s inconvenient for you, we can reschedule."

Although Luo Yifan hadn’t mentioned his feelings for her lately, she still tried to avoid being alone with him.

The person on the other end seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "It’s fine, you can bring Baobao along. He needs to eat light food, right?"

"Yes."

"Alright, I’ll have them prepare. Or you can provide me with a few dishes that Baobao can eat, and I’ll have the chef prepare them."

Le Tong mentioned a few dishes Baobao liked to eat, agreed on a time, and hung up the phone.

After putting down the phone, Le Tong sighed quietly. Luo Yifan was indeed very attentive, but unfortunately, she didn’t have the blessing!

How could she not like such a great guy?

Perhaps Mr. Demon Ji was right, liking someone was indeed like being blind or a fool. Once you fall for someone, you can ignore and overlook a pile of faults they have and willingly fall into the pit you’ve dug yourself, bury yourself and all!

Le Tong walked to Ji Rui’s office door, pushed it open, and said to Baobao inside, "Baobao, let’s go, Uncle Yifan is treating Baobao to a French meal."

[Stuck these past days, today should only have two updates, there will be another later.]
