Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife

Chapter 507 - 506: May You Have Noble Children Early (Second Update)

Ji Rui took Baobao to Xu Tao’s house. Compared to the Ji Family and even the Luo Family, the Xu Family could only be considered a moderately well-off family. The young couple’s new home was a small two-story villa in the city center, and it was clear at a glance that it was a property left by their ancestors, renovated in places.If it were in the past, Ji Rui would definitely have thought Xu Tao was reaching too high, but ever since he got together with Le Tong, many of his biases had been gradually corrected by her.

Moreover, considering Luo Yuanyuan’s past care for Le Tong, Ji Rui surprisingly showed a lot of politeness towards Xu Tao.

Baobao was already well acquainted with Xu Tao and loudly called him "Brother Tao" as soon as he entered the door.

"Baobao, call him Uncle!" Ji Rui corrected him.

About to be married tomorrow, he certainly couldn’t be called Brother anymore.

Moreover, in terms of seniority, Luo Yuanyuan and Xu Tao are peers of Le Tong, so Baobao should call Xu Tao Uncle and Yuanyuan Aunt, to be reasonable.

"Hello, Uncle Tao!"

Baobao didn’t hesitate at all and cheerfully changed his greeting.

Ji Rui asked Xu Tao if there was anything he needed help with, but honestly, Xu Tao wouldn’t dare trouble him, the great President Ji. Them coming over was mainly because Baobao had a task to complete.

"Brother Ji, please have a seat for a while. I’ll take Baobao to take a look around the new house."

Ji Rui was worried Baobao would get too wild and accidentally get hurt, which would be a major problem.

"Can I take a look at your new home?"

Xu Tao wouldn’t refuse him. "Of course, of course, Yuanyuan said Brother Ji is here to learn."

Actually, most people now hire a wedding planning company to handle everything, but Ji Rui thought, it couldn’t hurt to know more. After all, he also wanted to give Le Tong an unforgettable wedding.

Ji Rui was holding Baobao’s hand when Xu Tao suddenly brought out a little girl from somewhere. The little girl was about the same height as Baobao. The two kids pointed at each other and exclaimed simultaneously.

"Ji Rui/Xu Ying?!"

Both Ji Rui and Xu Tao were surprised, "You two know each other?"

"We’re classmates!" The two little kids said in unison, pointing at each other.

After speaking, they each let go of the adults’ hands, chattering away as they played together.

"What a coincidence, Xiao Ying is my niece and the flower girl for tomorrow’s wedding."

The two grown men ended up as chaperones, following the kids upstairs.

"Brother Ji, when do you and Tongtong plan to get married? Yuanyuan is quite anxious," Xu Tao asked casually.

This matter, if it were up to Ji Rui alone, he would definitely say the sooner the better. But it’s a matter for two people, and he promised Le Tong he would respect her wishes.

"This depends on Le Tong. I’m ready to marry her anytime. As soon as she nods, I’ll marry her."

Xu Tao was slightly surprised. In his impression, Ji Rui was the epitome of domineering and authoritarian. It was hard to imagine such a domineering man openly admitting in front of others that he had no control over the wedding matter and was completely in a passive position.

In any relationship, the passive one is often the one who loves more deeply.

The man in front of him, who could supposedly attract a whole host of high-profile socialites with a mere wave of his hand, was willingly putting himself in a passive position?

And most incredibly, he admitted it so openly and generously?

"Brother Ji, you’re really joking..." Xu Tao could only assume he was kidding.

Ji Rui, however, seriously corrected his misunderstanding, "I’m not joking. If Le Tong nods right now, I’ll join you for the wedding tomorrow!"

Xu Tao looked at Ji Rui in disbelief. This man clearly loved Le Tong to the extreme.

But why did his wife always feel sorry for Le Tong, saying she treated Ji Rui too well, almost like worshiping him as an emperor?

Xu Tao didn’t know that Luo Yuanyuan still couldn’t forget the excessive things Ji Rui did to Le Tong in the past.

And about Baobao’s origins, Luo Yuanyuan thought that Ji Rui and Le Tong had a one-night stand, and eventually, Ji Rui only wanted the son, giving Le Tong a sum of money and leaving her. When they met again, not only did Ji Rui not make amends, but he also heartlessly bullied Le Tong in every way.

Following Luo Yuanyuan’s thinking, the past Ji Rui was indeed a great villain and scumbag, deserving of reproach.

And Le Tong, in order to protect Baobao, didn’t want to explain Baobao’s true origins too much. She only kept reassuring Luo Yuanyuan that Ji Rui was treating her well now. Unfortunately, Luo Yuanyuan’s prejudice against Ji Rui was deeply ingrained, so Le Tong could only let her continue to misunderstand him.

And Xu Tao, of course, had heard a lot of words from Luo Yuanyuan complaining on behalf of Le Tong, so his impression of Ji Rui wasn’t much different from Luo Yuanyuan’s.

What he saw now was entirely different from what he believed, so how could he not be surprised?

Looks like he’ll have to find some time to educate his wife, so she won’t always be worried her good friend is being bullied by President Ji and thinking endlessly.

"Wow, the new house is so beautiful!"

The two little rascals who had run into the bridal chamber first shouted loudly.

The two men stopped their conversation and hurriedly rushed into the bridal chamber as well.

Like Ji Rui, Xu Tao was also worried that Baobao would be too mischievous, and any scratches or bumps could become a serious issue.

As it turned out, the two men worried too much. Inside the new room, there were two women in their forties holding things and slowly sprinkling them on the bed. The two mischievous rascals already had their hands in the baskets, claiming they wanted to help the women sprinkle whatever it was onto the bed.

"Auntie, why are you sprinkling red dates?"

Baobao looked at the handful of red dates in his hand, grinning brightly. The little guy’s mind imagined Aunt Yuan’er was secretly hiding them under the bed as snacks.

"Auntie, what is this? Are they wooden beads?" The little girl who grabbed a handful of items that looked like wooden beads from another basket tilted her head and asked.

"Silly girl, these are lotus seeds, not wooden beads!"

Baobao giggled, but while laughing, he didn’t forget to quench his curiosity.

"Why do you sprinkle lotus seeds and red dates, Auntie?"

"Sprinkling red dates and lotus seeds means wishing the bride and groom a quick blessing of children!"

Baobao immediately understood, raised his hand, and sprinkled the red dates onto the bed with a bright red cover, shouting loudly:

"Wishing Aunt Yuan’er and Uncle Xu Tao a quick blessing of children!"

Xu Ying, that little girl, mimicked him and sprinkled the red dates in her hand, "Wishing Uncle and Auntie a quick blessing of children!"

In the new room, including Ji Rui, the adults were all amused by these two ghost spirits.

Seeing the two kids sprinkle the red dates and lotus seeds, the two women quickly told them to take off their shoes, letting them roll from the head of the bed to the foot and back again, giggling all the way.
