Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife

Chapter 401: Stop Introducing Men to Your Mommy (Second Update)

He knew that once Le Tong entered this mode, it was difficult for others to sway her. Unless she wanted to, no one could force her to make a decision."Le Tong, do you think we still need to consider things now that we’re like this?"

Ji Rui tried to cut to the chase, hoping she would quickly give him an answer.

After all, if she didn’t nod her head, he couldn’t consider himself her boyfriend or man. Just the current superior and subordinate relationship left him feeling completely insecure.

Le Tong didn’t show any sign of wavering, her clear eyes showed no intention of backing down as she stared directly at him.

"Mr. Ji, since you think you like me and I like you, then our feelings should be able to withstand any test, right?"

Ji Rui sighed helplessly to himself, or rather, he felt a bit disappointed. He thought she would be different, but she ended up wanting to play the usual game of tests.

"How do you want to test me? Go ahead, I’m game for anything."

Although Ji Rui was helpless, if Le Tong insisted on it, he would go along with her until she was satisfied and had no doubts.

After all, he couldn’t blame her for wanting to test him considering his troubled past.

Thinking of this, Ji Rui’s mood slightly improved.

Le Tong shook her head, "I don’t want to test you. I know you like me."

Initially, she chose not to believe him because his past actions had left too many shadows in her heart. It’s normal to be unable to trust immediately.

Now she believes because she can see and feel it with her eyes and heart.

"So what do you mean?"

Ji Rui had to admit he was confused by her.

"Give me a few days to think it over. Consider it a test for both of us."

Le Tong had her own considerations. After all, she always thought she liked Ji Rui more for his looks, but today’s message was like a wake-up call, completely overturning her previous assumptions.

Was it that she liked him as a person and therefore found his appearance pleasing?

Or, was she just obsessed with appearances and his looks were the reason she felt iffy about him as a person?

Though this question might be as hard to answer as the chicken or egg dilemma, she still wanted to figure it out.

Of course, Ji Rui wouldn’t understand this entirely pure thought of hers.

Or, for men, liking is liking. Whether she liked his looks or him as a person, isn’t it all just liking? After all, it’s all just him, right?

Seeing how firm she was, Ji Rui nodded in agreement, "Okay, three days, alright?"

Her dark eyes were so clear and bright, it truly didn’t seem like she was playing the game of playing hard to get he thought she might be.

Le Tong seriously thought about it, "Okay, three days it is."

Le Tong realized that she already had the answer in her heart. She just always chose to ignore it.

Today’s events were too sudden and dramatic; she hadn’t been able to completely calm down to see her heart clearly.

Three days would be enough for her to figure that question out!

Ji Rui secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Alright, I don’t need to avoid you during these three days, right?"

To grasp the happiness he desired as soon as possible, if she insisted he avoid her for three days, he would do his best to comply.

Le Tong shook her head again, "No need, just go on as usual."

As long as Ji Rui didn’t push her aggressively to make a decision, she could calm down and think, whether or not they saw each other.

"Hmm."

The result, although slightly different from Ji Rui’s expectations, wasn’t too bad!

"Daddy, here’s your water."

Baobao, who had gone to the kitchen to pour water, finally came over carefully, holding the cup with both hands and handing it to Ji Rui.

It was obvious that this Ghost Spirit had deliberately hidden in the kitchen until the two adults had finished their conversation before sneaking out.

"Thanks, Baobao!"

Ji Rui took the cup with one hand and rubbed Baobao’s head with the other.

"Baobao, why is it sweet?" Ji Rui took a sip from the cup, puzzled. Didn’t this little thing always know he didn’t like sweet things?

"Well, Mommy said the weather is dry, and drinking some honey water would be good for the lungs and throat." Baobao said as his big eyes darted between Ji Rui and Le Tong.

Ji Rui slightly curled up his lips and pinched the little guy’s cheek, "Baobao is getting more and more nagging!"

Baobao didn’t mind this saying at all, put his arms around Ji Rui’s neck, and kissed him, "Because Baobao loves Daddy!"

Ji Rui’s eyes subconsciously glanced at Le Tong who was sitting at the side, thinking back, she seemed pretty nagging to him ever since she became his secretary, preparing headache and stomach medicine for him, making coffee, and getting breakfast for him... If he went by his little darling’s logic, didn’t that mean she actually loved him dearly from the beginning?

Considering this possibility, Ji Rui’s mood improved even more.

"Baobao, you said earlier that the uncle sent food over? What’s going on, haven’t you guys eaten yet?"

Le Tong’s face, which had just returned to normal, flushed red again.

Baobao glanced at his thin-skinned mommy and nodded, "Yeah, mommy was really busy with work today and came back late. And Baobao wanted to eat stuffed winter melon, so he called the uncle to bring it over."

Le Tong sighed with slight relief, not knowing the reason behind her unusual behavior, but if the man found out she was rattled and ruined a whole table of food because of something he said, who knows how he would laugh at her.

"Exactly, Daddy hasn’t eaten either."

Ji Rui drank up the honey water in the cup, and Baobao obediently took the cup back to the kitchen.

"Don’t worry, Baobao asked the uncle to bring lots of delicious food, more than enough even if there were five Daddies."

This was said without intent, but had Ji Rui amused and annoyed.

Five daddies? Was this little thing thinking of finding his mommy a boyfriend?

The thought of that possibility made Ji Rui uneasy. He stood up abruptly and walked quickly into the kitchen.

The little guy, carrying the cup into the kitchen, was standing on a stool washing the cup when he heard footsteps. Without looking back, he just said, "Daddy, Mommy isn’t angry with you, right?"

Ji Rui walked over and patted his butt, "Who said your mommy was angry?"

This kid, why does he always think he’s upset his beloved mommy?

"That’s the best!" There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Baobao’s tone.

This little guy! He’s really protective of his mommy to the extreme.

"Little boy, Daddy warns you, stop introducing all sorts of guys to your mommy!"
