Chapter 384 I Am Very Happy Now (Part 1)
But regardless of whether the mother in the sky is happy and relieved or sad and disappointed, Le Tong hopes that her mother can accept and bless her dear yet disaster-prone little grandson.Staring at the photo of her mother, Le Tong silently spoke in her heart.
"Mom, I’m very fortunate to have met Baobao again among the vast crowd, and even more fortunate to be able to recognize Baobao and live together like normal mother and son, although I’m not certain how long this close and entwined life with Baobao can last, but even if it’s just one day, it’s worth cherishing and being grateful for. Mom, I beg you to bless Baobao well in heaven, let him fully recover and grow up healthy and happy!"
Once, she gave up Baobao for the sake of her most important mother in life. Now, if she needs to trade her life for Baobao’s health and happiness, she would be willing.
The little guy beside her, after bowing his head, didn’t get up immediately, but straightened his back and knelt on the soft cushion like Le Tong, his shiny black eyes staring at the smiling face on the tombstone.
"Grandmother, rest assured, Baobao will take good care of Mommy." The little guy’s voice, with the soft sweetness unique to children his age, conveyed a meaning beyond his years’ determination and certainty.
Le Tong’s eyes turned red, she reached out to hug the little guy’s weak shoulder and gently brought him into her arms.
"Mommy, Baobao is very sensible and obedient, don’t worry about me, I am very happy now!"
Ji Rui and Yang Sheng stood behind them unknowingly, hearing the mother and son’s words they couldn’t help but feel somewhat moved.
Yang Sheng stepped forward, placed white roses in front of the grave, and deeply bowed to the tombstone.
"Auntie, I’m Tongtong’s senior, Yang Sheng. Tongtong and Baobao are both doing well, may you rest in peace!"
Originally, Yang Sheng wanted to say, I will take good care of Tongtong and Baobao, but he thought this sentence should be left for the man who can care for and love Tongtong for a lifetime to say.
Ji Rui waited for Yang Sheng to step back, then moved forward, placed a large offering box he asked Xiao Li to prepare in front of the tombstone, and bowed three times deeply to Mrs. Le’s portrait.
"Auntie, I’m Baobao’s daddy Ji Rui, please don’t worry, I will take good care of both mother and child."
Standing behind him, Yang Sheng slightly smiled, indeed, this guy rushed to pay respects to Mrs. Le, just to make this declaration, right?!
Still kneeling on the cushion, Le Tong’s mouth twitched, wanting to refute, but the little guy in her arms giggled, while laughing, he snuggled into Le Tong’s bosom.
Le Tong glanced down at him, "What’s so funny?" She reached out to pinch his gradually recovering chubby little cheeks.
Baobao raised his little finger to poke the tall man’s back standing in front of him, "Daddy got jealous!" After saying that, he laughed even harder.
Ji Rui ignored him, stood at the tombstone with a straight back, deep eyes gazing at the tombstone’s portrait of Mrs. Le, and made a silent abbreviated report of his thoughts and determination to his future mother-in-law.
Le Tong glared at Baobao, "Baobao, don’t talk nonsense."
Baobao raised his hand to hug her waist, with a look of ’I’m very understanding’.
"Baobao is not talking nonsense, Daddy really likes to be jealous of Baobao."
The man who stood like a wall in front suddenly shook slightly, it’s unclear if he was angry or his heart was inevitably hurt after being told the truth! Content orıginally comes from novel-fire.ɴet
Yang Sheng, watching the scene behind, couldn’t help but laugh out loud, while Le Tong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, this little guy, Baobao, mustn’t know too much!
This was not the first time Le Tong thought, being in her twenties but not knowing more than Baobao, who wasn’t even six years old yet, what kind of world is this?!
"Baobao, don’t you know? Since your Daddy found your Mommy, he changed careers and started a vinegar factory."
Yang Sheng, fearing the world would become chaotic, struck again mercilessly.
This time, the man finally turned his head, his cold and sharp gaze slashing towards Yang Sheng, as if he wanted to peel off his skin.
Yang Sheng felt numb under his gaze, tilting his body while speaking to the photo on the tombstone.
"Auntie, rest assured, this man may be a bit rigid and uninteresting, but he’s actually a good person."
Le Tong and Ji Rui simultaneously developed black lines on their foreheads, while Ji Rui secretly cursed, damn it, Yang Sheng you high-grade sly devil!
And Le Tong was more overwhelmed with awkwardness and slight unease.
Awkwardness because Yang Sheng and Ji Rui made non-existent things seem like settled matters.
Unease is the subtle feeling that if Mom could truly hear, what would she think of this man, Ji Rui?
Once, Mom had also asked her, "Tongtong ah, I’ve heard many college students date, do you have a boyfriend? If you do, bring him back for Mom to see."
However, back then, all Le Tong thought about daily were three things: Mom, making money, studying.
And her life from eighteen to twenty-three was indeed filled with these three things, leaving no time or mind for dating.
Moreover, at that time, she was tortured by inner demons, unwilling and afraid to touch matters of love.
"Mom, I’m still young, no rush."
She was a filial daughter, and every expense for her mother’s recovery she secretly asked the head nurse to divide the bills into two copies, thus, Mrs. Le only knew of therapy costs that were less than a tenth of the actual costs.
So, she thought her daughter was always busy because of heavy study tasks, not knowing most of her time was spent working part-time making money.
Le Tong thought she could never walk out the nightmare’s shadows, thus never considered getting a boyfriend or anything like that.
Listening to Yang Sheng’s words now, she couldn’t help but hypothesize, if Mom were still alive, would she like this man Ji Rui?
Realizing she had made such a hypothesis, Le Tong’s heart skipped a beat, she secretly exclaimed oops!
"Auntie, I know I’m not necessarily the very best, and Le Tong is too good, I can’t promise she won’t be upset, but I promise to do my utmost to keep anyone from harming her and Baobao."
President Ji, who never stooped to give promises or guarantees to anyone, now unexpectedly, in front of his young son and friends, expressed determination to his future mother-in-law, showing how important Le Tong is to him.
And most unbelievably, the self-assured President Ji unexpectedly admitted he wasn’t the very best among all? Isn’t he the one who always believed he was the best under heaven, if he claimed second, no one dared claim first?
Why has he suddenly become humble? Does he want to earn some impression points and sympathy points from his future mother-in-law?
