Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife

Chapter 522 - 521: The Gift from Heaven (Part 2)

The two chatted for more than half an hour. Ji Rui, who seemed to be busy with his work nearby and didn’t speak much, suddenly closed his laptop, pulled Le Tong over, and kissed her lips as if no one else was watching."You got up early in the morning to tidy things up, you’re tired, aren’t you? Go and take a rest."

His tone was very gentle, and his voice was excessively doting. Yang Sheng made a disgusted expression, but Ji Rui merely glared at him, showing no intention of restraining himself.

"I’ll chat with Yang Sheng about his family matters for a bit. You go take a break." After kissing her twice more, he finally let her go.

Since he’d put it this way, even if Le Tong wanted to shamelessly stay and listen, she was too embarrassed to do so. After all, she really had no right to interfere with Yang Sheng’s private matters.

"Alright, I’ll take a nap, you two talk."

Le Tong instinctively felt they were going to talk about matters related to Y Country. But since Ji Rui said so, she sensibly excused herself.

With things on her mind, Le Tong naturally couldn’t fall asleep, so she simply opened the guest room door to check if her pair of children were sleeping soundly inside.

On the large double bed, the two kids slept right in the center.

Baobao, that thoughtful fellow, probably took all the blankets and pillows from the closet, rolled them into a bundle, and placed them at the edge and tail of the bed to ensure Nuonuo wouldn’t fall out.

As for himself, he lay on his side next to Nuonuo, his tiny hand carefully placing the edge of the blanket over Nuonuo.

Le Tong laid on the bed watching the soundly sleeping Baobao for a while before turning her gaze to the equally sweetly sleeping Nuonuo.

Although the little girl was just over a month old and hadn’t fully grown into her features, it was already obvious that her facial features were very delicate. Her eyebrows were delicate, her eyelashes thick, her eyes big and bright black. Her mouth was small, and her nose, though not fully developed and somewhat flat, didn’t at all affect her beauty. Instead, it added a kind of naive adorableness unique to infants.

Even Le Tong herself grew more and more fond of this little girl, no wonder Baobao liked her so much!

As she watched, Le Tong couldn’t help but reach out to touch Nuonuo’s beautiful face. Then, she placed her hand on Baobao’s face and gently caressed his features.

Baobao was also growing very handsome and delicate, but his looks, strictly speaking, had a kind of masculine elegance different from Nuonuo’s. They were two different styles of delicacy.

One could imagine that this little guy would undoubtedly be more popular with women than his daddy when he grows up.

And this little girl, it probably won’t be long before waves of little boys will be following behind her!

Thinking of this, a wave of maternal pride surged in Le Tong’s heart.

"Mommy..."

Baobao seemed to be disturbed by her touch, opened his eyes drowsily, and mumbled, then habitually snuggled into her arms. Even so, he barely moved the hand placed on Nuonuo.

Le Tong smiled and leaned closer to the little guy, wrapping her arms around both children.

"Good, go back to sleep..." She bent down to kiss Baobao, then leaned over to give Nuonuo a kiss as well.

"Mm..." Baobao snuggled into her arms again, then fell back into a peaceful sleep.

Initially, it was indeed because Baobao liked her that Le Tong was happy to accept Nuonuo.

But now, after spending a few days together and seeing Baobao more sensible yet happier than before, she felt that perhaps Nuonuo was a gift from heaven, compensating for what she couldn’t give Baobao.

As she pondered, her initially not-so-tired eyelids gradually drooped.

Originally curious about what those two men outside were talking about, eventually, her mind was entirely occupied by her children. Even in her dreams, it was Baobao holding a waddling Nuonuo, frolicking and laughing on the grass. The worries of the Ji Family didn’t appear in Le Tong’s dreams at all.

After waking up, Le Tong briefly recalled the beautiful scenes from her dream and couldn’t help but feel a sense of longing for the beautiful future it depicted.

Perhaps she was indeed better suited to be a good wife and loving mother than to be Ji Rui’s capable assistant.

Le Tong thought self-deprecatingly, getting out of bed, freshening up, and taking out the change of clothes for Baobao and Nuonuo from the luggage. Only then did she return to the bed to wake Baobao.

Sitting on the bed, Baobao rubbed his sleepy eyes, dazed for a moment, and only after looking around did he suddenly seem to remember something, quickly crawling up to get off the bed.

"Mommy, where’s Uncle Sheng?!"

Le Tong found it amusing. When did this boy’s reaction become so slow? Usually a very smart kid, but now he seemed a bit foolish?

"He’s outside chatting with your daddy!" Le Tong smiled, nodding toward outside.

Only then did Baobao seem to breathe a sigh of relief, making Le Tong unable to resist teasing him, "Now you remember your Uncle Yang Sheng? You’ve really hurt his feelings; he thought you forgot about him..."

Baobao turned to glance at Nuonuo, who was still sleeping like a log. As his mother, how could Le Tong not understand his thoughts?

"You go play with Uncle Sheng, Mommy will take care of Nuonuo."

"Okay!" Only then did Baobao feel at ease, putting on his slippers and running over to hug Le Tong, giving her a couple of kisses on the cheek before letting go and running out the door.

A few minutes after Baobao left, the little girl on the bed started to wiggle around restlessly. When Le Tong went over to check, she saw the little girl had woken up at some point and was sucking her thumb with a smacking sound.

Le Tong picked her up, checked her little bottom, finding it a bit wet. As expected, she’d peed, probably the reason she woke up.

After changing her diaper, Le Tong carried her out to the living room.

"Come, let Uncle Sheng hold the little beauty of Baobao."

Originally playing on the couch with Baobao, Yang Sheng saw the big and little beauties coming out, pushed the frolicking Baobao aside, and stood up, reaching out his hands towards Le Tong.

Le Tong looked at him with skepticism, "Senior, do you even know how to hold a baby?"

Yang Sheng first shook his head, then said, "I don’t, but I can learn now, okay?"

Le Tong still wasn’t quite convinced. Not to mention Yang Sheng, who had never been a father; even Ji Rui, who had six years of parenting experience, hadn’t dared to hold this little girl.

"Forget it, I’ll hold her; you play with her instead."

Honestly, when it came to children, Le Tong didn’t think Yang Sheng was any more skilled than Ji Rui. She was dubious of both of them.

Yang Sheng was visibly disdained, feeling helpless and a bit speechless.

As Yang Sheng played with Nuonuo, Le Tong glanced around, not seeing Ji Rui’s shadow, then asked Baobao, "Where’s your daddy?"

"In the shower!" Baobao pointed toward the master bedroom.

"Where do you want to eat later? At this hotel, or find a local specialty restaurant?" Yang Sheng asked as he played with Nuonuo.
