Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife

Chapter 514 - 513: Not the Best, But the Most Suitable (Fourth Update)

Le Tong, Ji Rui, and Baobao, no, now with the little baby, continued moving forward on the beach."Mommy, what’s my sister’s name?"

Le Tong and Ji Rui exchanged glances, "Baobao, do you want to decide?"

Since it’s the little one’s eagerly desired sister, he should be the one to decide.

The little one silently carried the basket for quite a distance before turning his head to ask, "Mommy, how about calling her Nuonuo?"

Le Tong laughed, "Alright, Nuonuo is great!"

Baobao giggled as he teased the baby girl’s face, "Brother’s Nuonuo is so pretty!"

Le Tong glanced at Ji Rui, who still didn’t look pleased, and nudged him with her elbow, "Hey, did you hear that? Nuonuo is Brother’s, nothing to do with me!"

Knowing him well, she could tell he was being jealous.

Geez!

He could be jealous of his own son, a regular friend, and now of a little girl with no presence!

Ji Rui raised an eyebrow, his eyes holding a hint of amusement, "Baobao’s?"

Le Tong nodded, "Of course!"

Although she was overflowing with sympathy, if Baobao didn’t really like her, she wouldn’t have brought this child home.

But since Baobao liked her so much, it should be the fate of these two children, right!

"So, I’m not the last on the list?" Ji Rui’s tone warmed up a bit, unlike earlier when it was enough to freeze someone.

How could Le Tong not understand this man’s pettiness? Just a little obstacle would clog him up, if she didn’t clear it for him, he’d suffocate himself sooner or later.

"Who said you were last? You’ve always been tied with Baobao!"

Le Tong said this not just to appease him.

Baobao is her son, he is her lover, two kinds of love, completely different feelings.

Forcing them onto the same scale isn’t fair to either of them.

In her heart, Le Tong truly felt she didn’t love Ji Rui any less than Baobao.

For Baobao, her love is like soil, as he grows into a towering tree, he’ll have his own world, seeing his own new sky.

As for Ji Rui, she and he are like two seedlings born from the same root, growing together into a community indistinguishable from each other in roots and branches.

In the future, he and she will watch the sunrise and sunset together, look at the night sky, and feel the wind, rain, and thunderstorms. Together, they will build their world under the same sky, slowly maturing, and then growing old together!

Ji Rui finally relaxed completely, his face showing a faint smile again. "Baobao, from now on, Nuonuo is your responsibility, don’t bother Daddy and Mommy, alright?"

Baobao didn’t mind, happily teasing Nuonuo while responding cheerfully.

"Got it! Baobao is Brother’s, so Nuonuo is obviously Brother’s responsibility, no need for Daddy and Mommy to worry!"

Le Tong and Ji Rui exchanged smiles, Ji Rui pulling Le Tong’s hand into the pocket of his coat, holding it all the way to the wedding site without letting go.

Yuan’er, not knowing the situation, saw Baobao carrying a basket and assumed it was a Ji Family relative’s child, so she started joking with Baobao.

"Oh, Baobao, is this your little wife?"

Baobao cast her a side-eye, snorting disdainfully, "This is my sister!"

Yuan’er looked surprised, Le Tong winked at her and smiled, "Yeah, it’s Baobao’s sister."

Luo Yuanyuan looked puzzled, and Le Tong pushed her into the dressing room, "Aren’t you going to do your makeup? What’s there to be curious about a little girl?"

After Luo Yuanyuan changed into her wedding dress, Le Tong, who was helping on the side, explained the whole story.

"Wow, really amazing!" Luo Yuanyuan marveled softly.

Le Tong helped her put on her snowy white veil, "Amazing in what way?"

Luo Yuanyuan burst into laughter, "Xu Tao and I were talking a few days ago: if we have a baby girl, she’d be Baobao’s little wife. Didn’t expect someone to beat us to it!"

Le Tong gave her a gentle poke, "What nonsense are you talking?"

Luo Yuanyuan winked at her, "I hope I am talking nonsense. Then my darling daughter still has a chance to marry into a wealthy family!"

Made by her antics, Le Tong felt both exasperated and amused. After a moment, she sighed softly, "Baobao has been quite lonely these years; if he likes it, let it be like raising a child to keep him company."

The things Doctor Fu said, Le Tong had never mentioned to Luo Yuanyuan.

For one, she kept a sliver of hope despite being pessimistic. Otherwise, she wouldn’t comply so readily, drinking two large bowls of dark Chinese medicine every morning and evening.

For another, she didn’t want her friend to worry.

As for this little girl, whether she exists or not doesn’t affect her nor Ji Rui, but Baobao gains companionship, and his childhood becomes more complete, so why not?

Le Tong first helped Luo Yuanyuan with her bridal attire, and then she herself changed into an elegant white bridesmaid dress and was pushed onto the makeup chair by the makeup artist.

"Just give me a light makeup."

Le Tong said this purely because she wasn’t used to heavy makeup, besides she knew she didn’t have that kind of aura.

"Yeah, just paint random stuff on her face. How can a bridesmaid be prettier than the bride?!" Luo Yuanyuan egged the makeup artist on.

The makeup artist knew from their previous conversation that they were best friends, chuckled, shook her head, and in less than ten minutes, Le Tong’s originally striking face became even more stunning, comparable to a lotus in bloom.

"Do you think Brother Ji will propose at my wedding later?" Luo Yuanyuan winked at Le Tong.

Le Tong paused, hesitated a bit, but finally shook her head, "No, he won’t."

Luo Yuanyuan didn’t believe her, "I doubt it, I think Brother Ji can’t wait to marry you. Today’s a golden opportunity; he might really propose!"

"He won’t!"

Firstly, he isn’t a romantic person.

Secondly, he said he wouldn’t force her. If he proposed on such an occasion, wouldn’t that be forcing her?

"Oh well... Tongtong, you’re too calm and cool, which isn’t fun at all. Good thing Brother Ji is your type to handle you." Luo Yuanyuan pouted.

Le Tong didn’t deny her friend’s words, but rather, matters of love are truly mysterious.

It was like Ji Rui’s personality; Le Tong didn’t think it was particularly good, yet she was attracted to this man with a not-so-great personality.

And she, of course, wasn’t perfect, but Ji Rui was wholeheartedly devoted to her.

So, in matters of the heart, it isn’t about picking the best but choosing what’s most suitable.

"Yuan’er, Ji Rui and I are like you and Xu Tao. We both know each other isn’t the best choice within our range but the most suitable one!"

This time, it was Luo Yuanyuan’s turn to pause, then she beamed brightly, "That’s right, we don’t need the best; we just need what’s most suitable!"

Le Tong leaned over and gave her a light peck on the cheek, "Darling, may you always be happy!"

Luo Yuanyuan’s eyes turned red, "I will! You too, Tongtong!"
