Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife

Chapter 493 - 492: Do You Regret Choosing Me? (Second Update)

Le Tong accompanied Ji Rui in the room for nearly half an hour, during which Ji Rui briefly reported on the current situation of the Ji Family and Baobao’s health condition.At the end, he wrapped his arm around Le Tong’s shoulder and said to the woman in the photo, "Mom, Le Tong’s health is not very good, you must take good care of her and Baobao!"

After he finished speaking, Le Tong slightly bowed to the photo.

"Auntie, don’t worry, I will take good care of Baobao and Ji Rui."

Ji Rui tightened the hand on Le Tong’s shoulder. Le Tong was good with words, but rather than making promises or speaking sweetly, she preferred to express her feelings through actions. So, apart from hearing her admit she liked him, this was the most beautiful and touching promise he had ever heard.

Moreover, this promise to "take good care" was made in front of his mother, making it even more meaningful.

After leaving the room, Ji Rui’s mood improved significantly. The gloom and coldness he felt before entering the room were swept away by Le Tong’s words.

"Shall I take you to see my room?" Ji Rui stopped with Le Tong at the door, smiling to seek Le Tong’s opinion.

"Mm!" Le Tong obediently allowed him to lead her to the third floor.

"Is this your first time seeing a bachelor’s room?" Ji Rui asked, holding the doorknob and looking back at Le Tong.

He knew she had many pursuers, but she had never taken a fancy to anyone. If he wasn’t mistaken, his room was her "first time."

Facing Ji Rui’s expectant face, Le Tong blinked and smiled, shaking her head, "Of course not!"

Ji Rui’s face instantly fell; it was then he realized how strong his possessiveness was for this woman in front of him.

But it’s just a room visit; whether it’s the first time or not doesn’t matter, does it?

Ji Rui turned his back on Le Tong, pushed the door open, trying hard to appear calm and natural. Thinking about it, he felt annoyed. In front of Le Tong, his mature and steady image might have already collapsed.

Le Tong followed him, standing next to him. Her bright eyes scanned over the bedroom that matched her expectations and, amused, added.

"During university, I visited the boys’ dormitory a few times."

Ji Rui suddenly lowered his head, glared at her, and exhaled deeply, gritting his teeth at Le Tong, "Le Tong, am I that fun to tease?"

Le Tong grinned and shrugged, "It really is quite fun!"

Seeing those dark green eyes gradually fill with anger, Le Tong quickly raised her hand, rested it on his shoulder, tiptoed, and kissed his lips.

A light kiss like a dragonfly touching water, instantly dissipating Ji Rui’s anger, filling his eyes and heart completely with Le Tong, leaving no room for anger.

He pulled her waist towards him, his lips catching the freshly parted lips accurately.

"Little brat!" Ji Rui mumbled a gentle curse, lightly biting her lips, his tongue playfully licking around her lips, then skillfully prying them open to intertwine with her softness.

Not knowing how long it took, the person in Ji Rui’s arms was left only with labored breathing. The mischievous girl finally paid a severe price for her teasing.

It was just a long French kiss that left Le Tong breathlessly collapsed in Ji Rui’s embrace. Benefiting from it, Ji Rui kissed the top of her head happily, then bent down to scoop her up.

"Hey... what are you doing?! Put me down!"

Suddenly losing balance, Le Tong flailed her fists against Ji Rui’s chest. She wasn’t afraid Ji Rui would do anything excessive, but being carried in a princess hold as an adult was quite embarrassing, wasn’t it?

Ji Rui ignored her protests, held her tightly in his arms, and quickly walked to the bed, placing the softly scolding Le Tong onto the bed.

"Aren’t you tired? Take a nap!" Ji Rui said, getting up and walking towards a certain door in the room, pushing it open and stepping inside.

Le Tong, stunned on the bed, couldn’t help but wonder, did this man bring her to his bachelor’s bedroom to show her around or to let her nap?

Before Le Tong could figure it out, the man emerged from the door, holding a basin.

"Wash up and take a nap."

The man said, already at the bedside, placing the basin on the bedside table. After the sound of splashing water, he handed the steaming wet towel to Le Tong.

"Here!"

Le Tong stared blankly at the towel still steaming, rarely experiencing such attentive care from anyone except when she was too young to take care of herself, and her mommy did it for her.

Moreover, the person serving her was usually the one being served, the eldest young master of the Ji Family, the current head of the prestigious Ji Family, Ji Rui.

Seeing her unresponsive, Ji Rui assumed she was being coy, as Baobao occasionally did.

Thinking this, Ji Rui reached out to hold the back of her head, the warm towel pressing onto her face.

"Ji Rui..." Le Tong uttered a muffled cry through the towel, startled.

"Okay, I won’t blame you. You can tease me however you want. Be good and wash your face, then take a good nap."

Ji Rui’s tone was much like when he coaxed Baobao, with three parts pampering and seven parts tenderness.

"No... let me do it myself..." Le Tong’s hand reached out, grabbing randomly until it finally caught Ji Rui’s large and strong hand.

"Let me do it; look at your dazed expression. You must be exhausted, right?" Ji Rui looked at her tenderly. "Did Minister Yu and the others throw a bunch of work at you while I was away?" He ended in a harsh tone.

Le Tong couldn’t snatch the towel from the man’s hand. After a brief internal struggle, she finally gave up the idea of doing it herself and obediently accepted his care.

"Of course not!"

Le Tong’s beautiful eyes peeked out from the towel. "I’m just not familiar with the business yet, slowing everyone down."

Le Tong was very smart and hardworking, but even so, taking over the heavy and highly challenging work from Yang Sheng in a short time was indeed a difficult task for her!

Ji Rui kissed her eyelid, "It’s my fault!" His words were filled with guilt.

Le Tong found it strange, "What does this have to do with you? You’re the president, I’m the employee. I get paid to do the corresponding work. If I don’t do well, it’s naturally my responsibility."

Ji Rui tossed the towel back into the basin, lowered his head, and kissed her again, "I didn’t handle the CoCo affair well, which led to the current situation."

Le Tong raised her hand, scratching his head, his short hair poked at her palm, slightly painful but also ticklish.

"You can’t have your cake and eat it too. Or, are you regretting choosing me?"
