Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife

Chapter 531 - 530 Super Dad (2nd Update)

"She had the baby at nineteen, so she’s very well-maintained!" Ji Rui replied calmly.The others looked a bit awkward. No one dared to join this conversation loaded with sarcasm.

Clearly, the person who said Le Tong didn’t look like a child’s mother was subtly insinuating that Le Tong might not be the child’s real mother.

However, Ji Rui wasn’t bothered to argue with them, and that person was one of the few Ji Rui had warned Le Tong to be cautious of. He was Yang Sheng’s oldest cousin, basically the eldest grandson in the Yang Family.

The eldest grandson, who was supposed to be the most favored, lost to Yang Sheng. It’s imaginable how unwilling he felt. The relationship between Yang Sheng and Ji Rui wasn’t a secret, so he came looking for Ji Rui, naturally speaking with thorns in his words, seizing the opportunity to vent his frustrations on Ji Rui.

Unfortunately, he underestimated Ji Rui and overestimated himself.

"So, Mr. Ji is an old cow eating young grass?" The Yang Family’s eldest young master laughed with interest.

Ji Rui looked nonchalant, "I did, and took responsibility for it. I can swear that I’ve never wronged her. Compared to people like Young Master Yang, who leave feelings everywhere but are heartless everywhere, which is more disgraceful?"

Ji Rui’s words were very direct, maintaining a calm expression, but the sarcasm in his words made the Yang Family’s eldest young master’s face change slightly.

Aside from Le Tong, the word "endure" existed in Ji Rui’s dictionary for other people; he didn’t need to endure, nor did he need to look at others’ expressions.

Moreover, this eldest young master of the Yang Family was famously dissolute and always had a bad relationship with Yang Sheng, so Ji Rui didn’t bother to consider his feelings, speaking extremely harshly!

"Young Master Yang, the Old Master has been standing outside for a long time, probably with an aching back and sore waist. Go out quickly to give him a massage, maybe then the Old Master will feel better, and casually give some benefits, enough for Young Master Yang to be indulgent for quite a while!"

Ji Rui’s words were so clear that, no matter how thick-skinned the Yang Family’s eldest young master was, he couldn’t stay any longer. Glowering at Ji Rui with a darkened face, he pushed through the crowd and left, drink in hand, flicking his sleeves.

Ji Rui ignored him, glanced around, but only saw the baby without Le Tong, feeling puzzled, so he nodded slightly to the others, "Sorry, I’m going to check on the two children."

In the past, Ji Rui was known in high society for being cold and distant, extremely hard to approach. But this time, he appeared as a good "husband" and good father, surprising everyone and gaining their admiration, while they couldn’t help but praise Le Tong for capturing and taming such a man!

"What’s wrong?"

Ji Rui walked behind the baby, bent down, trying to see what was going on.

"Daddy, Nuonuo’s face was bitten by a bug..."

The baby pointed at Nuonuo lying in the stroller, speaking with great distress.

"Where’s Mommy?"

Ji Rui touched Nuonuo’s face; her tender cheeks had a red, swollen bump, seemingly bitten by a bug.

"Mommy went to get medicine from Uncle Sheng." The baby bent over, teasing Nuonuo, as if scared she’d start crying at any moment.

Ji Rui stood up, looked around, but didn’t see Le Tong.

"Did Mommy say where she was going?"

The baby pointed towards the direction of the podium, "Mommy went that way; she told me to stay here quietly and wait for her to come back."

Ji Rui didn’t ask more, picked up the baby with one hand, and pushed the stroller in the direction the baby had pointed.

The once high-ranking President Ji, admired by many, now became an incredibly approachable dad, pushing one, holding another, without losing any of his handsome, elegant demeanor, and adding a layer of calm and safety only mature men have.

"Daddy, will Nuonuo’s face leave a scar?" the baby was still worried about the little girl’s face.

"No problem!" Ji Rui comforted the baby gently, and after that, he kissed the baby’s face.

This act, natural for him and the baby, appeared incredibly warm and loving in the eyes of others!

Thus, those women who had admired Ji Rui found their hearts broken.

It’s said the saddest thing in this world is not meeting the right person.

But, the right person is right in front of you, yet he already has someone!

Meaning, to you, he is the right person.

But to him, you are nothing!

Ji Rui could feel the strange atmosphere and gazes around him, but he kept stepping forward as if nothing happened.

"Really?" The baby had always been a strong child. Even during his own illness, he never acted so uncertain.

But now, he was worried about the little girl’s swollen red bump.

It showed how important this little girl, who only appeared in his life for a week, was to him.

"Of course, when has daddy ever lied to you?!" Ji Rui assured his beloved son earnestly.

While the father and son spoke, Le Tong emerged from a room, holding a tube of ointment.

And following her wasn’t Yang Sheng, but the Old Master Yang, who was seriously at odds with Ji Rui.

"Chairman Yang, thank you for your trouble!" Le Tong turned around to thank the Old Master.

The old man waved his hand, glared at her as if he had no patience for her, then turned to head towards the podium.

"What did he give you?" Ji Rui, holding his son and pushing his daughter, walked behind Le Tong, startling her a bit.

"An ointment, supposedly a special ointment for insect bites." Le Tong didn’t hide anything, relaying the Old Master’s words.

"He said that?" Ji Rui nodded towards the direction of the podium.

"Yes, I went to look for my senior brother, and the Old Master volunteered, saying he had a special ointment." Le Tong didn’t suspect anything, after all, the former president of the Yang Group couldn’t possibly fool her over such a small matter.

Ji Rui set down the baby, took the ointment, unscrewed the lid, and sniffed it carefully at the tip of his nose.

The ointment indeed had a strong herbal smell, but whether it was effective, he wasn’t sure.

"Ji Rui, the Old Master Yang wouldn’t be so petty to take issue with a little girl just a few months old!" Le Tong felt Ji Rui was being overly cautious.

But Ji Rui disagreed, "Le Tong, you don’t understand this Old Master Yang. It doesn’t matter if it’s Nuonuo, who has nothing to do with him; even if it’s his great-grandchild, it depends on his mood!"

Le Tong was taken aback. Ji Rui was generally objective in judging people and matters, except when he had a strong bias against her in the past. It seemed that Old Master Yang must have done something excessive to him or Yang Sheng, which is why Ji Rui had such an opinion.

Le Tong hesitated; should she use this ointment or not?
