Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife

Chapter 419: The Woman Who Saved the Galaxy

Ji Rui recuperated at home for four days. On the fifth day, he insisted on going back to work at the Ji Family with Le Tong and Baobao.Le Tong was quite helpless regarding his workaholic dedication, but she couldn’t strictly forbid him from stepping outside the house.

Because, no matter how much she disliked seeing him suffer, she was more aware than anyone of the pile of urgent documents in the office waiting to be processed due to Ji Rui’s rest.

The reason she ultimately gave in was because Doctor Fan actually supported his decision to return to work.

"Mr. Ji’s body has recovered well. As long as he doesn’t do excessively strenuous activities, sitting in meetings and reviewing documents should be absolutely manageable."

Le Tong didn’t delve into what Doctor Fan meant by strenuous activities, nor did she notice Ji Rui’s obvious smirk when he heard this. She simply turned around obediently to prepare President Ji’s work attire.

After all, he was still an injured person. Even going to work required packing a bunch of spare medication.

"Le Tong, let’s bring Baobao to work with us these few days."

Le Tong was standing in front of the storage cabinet, putting Ji Rui’s medication piece by piece into a small bag, when she heard the man behind her say that.

"Hmm, then you should help Baobao change clothes."

Le Tong executed Ji Rui’s decision without even asking for a reason. It wasn’t blind obedience; she knew very well why he did it.

Ji Rui probably had a falling out with Mr. Ji, and wasn’t at ease with Baobao staying at home alone, even with bodyguards accompanying him.

When Le Tong finished packing the medication Ji Rui needed to take, and the toys and storybooks Baobao wanted, Ji Rui and Baobao were already dressed and waiting for her on the sofa.

Looking at the father-and-son duo both wearing casual clothes, Le Tong couldn’t help but feel gratified for her foresight.

Once she moved in, Le Tong had checked Ji Rui’s wardrobe, which was filled with his usual boring suits and shirts. Those tailored-fitting clothes were fine for everyday wear, but he was injured now, with wounds on his abdomen, and clearly couldn’t wear such fitted clothing.

Thus, Le Tong bought some sets of casual clothes for him to put in the wardrobe. At that moment, he was wearing a loose grey and white checkered casual shirt and equally loose casual trousers, paired with running shoes. Clearly dressed casually enough to go shopping at the market, yet on his model-like frame, coupled with his star-like handsome face, he looked dignified and unexpectedly exuded an air of carefree nonchalance.

As for Baobao, clearly to match with his daddy, he was also wearing a checkered casual outfit, topped with a small vest. The big one was handsome, the little one was adorable. Together, this father and son duo made it hard for Le Tong to look away.

"Mommy, who’s more handsome – me or daddy?"

Seeing Le Tong finally finish tidying up, Baobao playfully winked at Le Tong and put his hands on his little waist, with an attitude and demeanor that rivaled those professional little models in magazines.

Le Tong’s gaze roved back and forth over the father-and-son pair’s faces and bodies before hesitating for a moment, then saying, "Hmm... I think..."

She deliberately paused, and then she saw the fearless President Ji displaying a hint of nervousness just like Baobao.

Le Tong found it amusing, and couldn’t help but smile, "Of course, Baobao is a bit more handsome!"

Le Tong reached out and pinched Baobao’s cheek, inadvertently glancing at Ji Rui.

The man’s expression showed a slight tinge of disappointment, his face stiffened for a moment, but it was just a fleeting change.

"See, Baobao said so! Mommy definitely likes Baobao a lot more..."

Baobao raised his little face and smugly glanced at Ji Rui.

Le Tong’s mouth twitched. If she understood correctly, this little guy was vying for attention with his daddy.

Ji Rui was taken aback for a moment, but quickly, he smiled brightly at Baobao, "Silly boy! It’s not the same, is it? You’re so smart, surely you know that if Mommy didn’t like Daddy, you wouldn’t be here!"

Now, not only did Le Tong’s mouth twitch, even her eyes twitched.

This man actually dared to say that!

If she had to admit she liked him back then, it would be fair, though with a caveat, actually, she liked his money!

However, the truth of this was something Ji Rui would probably never let Baobao know.

And she, after some time of struggling, also felt it was better for Baobao to believe he was the result of Mommy and Daddy’s love.

Thus, she was willing to cooperate with Ji Rui to keep it a secret from Baobao.

Ji Rui and his son returned to the Ji Family, winning the hearts of all the young and old female employees there.

They all knew Mr. Ji was handsome, but hadn’t seen him so bright and charming before.

They all knew Young Master Ji was smart, but didn’t realize he was so adorably cute.

And Le Tong instantly became the envy of the female employees at Ji Family, all saying she must have saved the galaxy in her past life to have such a tall, rich, and handsome boyfriend-soon-to-be-husband, and such a clever, cute son.

The flamboyant Ji Family father-and-son pair plus Le Tong went back to the top floor’s exclusive CEO office. To balance work and taking care of Baobao, Ji Rui directly had Le Tong’s desk moved into the CEO office. Anyway, now that they were officially together, presumably, she wouldn’t care about the gossip anymore.

Baobao nestled on the sofa in the reception area, quietly reading a storybook, while Le Tong and Ji Rui sat at their adjacent desks, handling their respective work.

"Le Tong, about the replacement for Guo Dongming, please communicate with Minister Chen in the HR department."

Le Tong acknowledged, took the information, and walked out.

That night, after Ji Rui made a phone call to Guo Dongming, he already had Guo Dongming’s private account transactions and contacts thoroughly investigated over the past few months. The explanation Guo Dongming gave the next day was, of course, rather flimsy.

Ji Rui didn’t say much, only told him, "Manager Guo, given your current state, it’s not suitable for you to work. Better to go home and rest for a while."

The man on the other end of the line was hoping Ji Rui would consider Mr. Ji’s favor and accommodate him, "Mr. Ji, the old chairman..."

Ji Rui had no patience to listen further, directly hung up on him. Next, he called the HR department and had the minister immediately search for a candidate to take over that position.

Since Le Tong was going to succeed Yang Sheng in the future, personnel changes like this also fell within her jurisdiction.

However, she had always presented herself as a secretary, so doing these things now, who knows if she might face some rejection then. Would she come back to him feeling wronged and crying?

Ji Rui had a pile of work on his hands, yet he let his thoughts wander freely.
