Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife

Chapter 574 - 573: Le Tong, Marry Me (Part 2)

On the water screen, photos of Le Tong and Baobao start to appear, and also group photos of Le Tong, Baobao, and Ji Rui – photos from when they were having fun, dining, laughing, and making funny faces... These pictures vividly present the trajectory of the family’s fate in a connected manner.As the song in the air reaches the line "a joyful fairy tale like you and I together is already enough," flaming red roses consecutively appear on the water screen, forming a heart shape around the vacant space, with the song’s repeated chant [from now onwards without worries and demands, the story is plain but having you in it, already enough. From now onwards without worries and demands, the story is plain but having you in it, already enough, a joyful fairy tale like you and I together is already enough.]

In the vacant space appears in large characters "Le Tong, marry me!"

Le Tong looks up, gazing blankly at the romantic blaze of flaming red and those characters, much hotter than the large spread of red on the water screen.

Beside her, Ji Rui, wraps his arm around her waist, leaning in close to her ear, and in a supremely gentle voice says softly, "Le Tong, marry me!"

Le Tong blinked a few times with her somewhat moist eyes, "Ji Rui..."

Her voice, slightly trembling with excitement.

Ji Rui has always been someone far from romance, hence, she never imagined he would formally propose once again.

She thought that her proposal that night was already considered formal, after all, they got their marriage certificate, and afterward, they only needed to hold a wedding according to the elders’ wishes, and then the family of four would live peacefully.

"Le Tong, you’re willing, right?"

Ji Rui said this suddenly, letting go of Le Tong, kneeling on one knee before her, and performing a magic trick-like act with a brocade box appearing, inside which lay a diamond ring that sparkled with a cold bright light even in the night.

Le Tong was stunned again, Ji Rui hadn’t been so busy these days that he barely ate and slept, so how did he find time to make such intricate arrangements?

"Le Tong..." Ji Rui saw Le Tong not speaking, nor did she reach for the ring, his initially full-of-confidence face clearly started losing composure.

"You don’t... want to?" Ji Rui’s voice was extremely hoarse.

"Mama!" Baobao, who had been quietly sitting in the front seat, couldn’t hold back any longer, nervously shouted.

It was only then that Le Tong came back to reality from the shock and incredulity, her lips slightly lifting, smiling as she scolded, "Dummy!"

Raising her left hand, she slowly extended it in front of Ji Rui. "We’ve got the certificate; can I still go back on it?" Le Tong laughed, teasing him.

Ji Rui’s face tightened, "Of course not!"

With that, he quickly pinched her left ring finger, the cold ring, along the fingertip, slowly slipped on.

Ji Rui pulled her hand to his lips, kissed the ringed spot, "Never, can go back!"

Le Tong smiled and nodded, looking straight into his deep eyes under the faint light.

"Hmm, never, won’t go back!"

Her voice, slightly choked. Herself, soon embraced into warmth.

"Boom!"

A loud noise startled Le Tong, who lifted her head hurriedly from Ji Rui’s embrace. As the sound continued, the lake around the yacht erupted with fireballs, which rose into the sky, "boom boom boom" bursting into colorful, magnificent fireworks.

Le Tong, had never seen such beautiful fireworks so closely before, couldn’t help but exclaim loudly with Baobao in the front seat, "Wow, so beautiful!"

The splendid fireworks bloomed like hundreds of flowers in the night sky, the originally silent lake mirroring the bright blossoms in mid-air, making the scene extraordinarily grand and dazzling.

"Do you like it?" Ji Rui held her tight, asking softly.

Le Tong responded with a "Hmm," eyes fixed on the dazzling display unfolding in the night sky, lips moved forward, perfectly landing a kiss on Ji Rui’s lips.

With such a forward kiss, Ji Rui wouldn’t let her off easily. His large hand holding the back of her head, lips and tongue together, kissed her breathless before stopping.

Breathlessly, Le Tong leaned on his shoulder, grievance in her gaze at the fading splendor in the night sky, murmuring complaints, "Such a pity..."

Ji Rui chuckled lightly, pinched her cheek, "If you like, we’ll launch them again in a few days, at the mansion!"

Le Tong hadn’t replied yet, before Baobao in the front, who had been eavesdropping, excitedly exclaimed, "Oh yay, we can see the fireworks again in a few days!"

Le Tong bumped her forehead against Ji Rui’s chin, "Who said we’re going to watch again? Do you have too much money to spend?"

Le Tong said, starting to feel heartache.

The fireworks just now, lasting only a few minutes, surely cost a fortune.

"As long as you like it!" Ji Rui had an indifferent look.

Le Tong, who was used to living frugally, though found the fireworks just now very beautiful, felt such extravagant acts are enough to do once in a lifetime.

"Ji Rui, I’m warning you, don’t be profligate!"

Le Tong seemed to feel Ji Rui’s chest subtly shaking, then heard Ji Rui holding back laughter in reply, "Yes ma’am, my dear wife!"

Le Tong tightened her face, wanting to say something, but then heard Baobao’s "giggle" from the front seat.

Alright, in such an atmosphere, in such a setting, it’s really not suitable for teaching anyone a lesson.

Moreover, Ji Rui now increasingly throws caution to the wind, with cheesy words at his fingertips everywhere, if she teaches him again, who knows what he might say to embarrass her more.

"I’ll teach you later!" Le Tong whispered with grit at Ji Rui’s ear.

Ji Rui laughed heartily, finished laughing, and in a very low voice, he replied, "Alright, your husband is at your service anytime."

Le Tong was once again infuriated by him grinding her teeth, but ultimately dared not to say more, lest being teased even more thoroughly.

"Daddy, is Baobao going to be a flower girl again?"

Baobao asked excitedly, the diligent captain slowly turned the yacht around, slowly heading back in the direction they came from.

"Baobao, do you want it?" Ji Rui asked.

"Of course! It’s a shame Nuonuo can only lay in the crib, otherwise, how lovely it would be for Nuonuo and I to be flower girls together!"

Le Tong listened to the conversation between the father and son, leaned forward, touched Baobao’s head, and laughed, "Why not, delay Daddy and Mommy’s wedding a little, wait till Nuonuo can walk, then you guys can be flower girls together, is that alright?"

Baobao excitedly turned his head to ask, "Really, can we?"

Le Tong hadn’t had a chance to nod before the big man beside her fiercely interrupted their conversation.

"Of course not!"

Joking! He had finally succeeded in proposing, the wedding should be held as soon as possible, waiting till Nuonuo can walk, by then, wouldn’t all the flowers have withered?

"Daddy, can’t we?" Baobao asked pitifully.

Clearly, Le Tong gave him a sweet hope, while Ji Rui shattered his hope with his own hands.

"No!" Ji Rui replied firmly, without any room for negotiation!
