Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 592 - 591 Christmas Gift. Two (First Update)
Zhuo Jiarui secretly breathed a sigh of relief, unexpectedly hearing Ji Rui’s voice turn cold again.
"It’s sister-in-law!"
"Huh?!" Zhuo Jiarui wiped his sweat stealthily. It sure is hard to keep up with smart people!
"Did you call her Tongtong? Call her sister-in-law from now on!"
Zhuo Jiarui rolled his eyes inwardly, knowing that this was President Ji’s wife. Who would dare think otherwise?!
He felt disdain in his heart but dared not say anything, "Yes, sister-in-law, sister-in-law! It’s just that she’s so young and beautiful, I couldn’t bring myself to say it."
Ji Rui was initially ignoring him and walking ahead, but now he turned around and glared at him fiercely.
"Her being young and beautiful is my business, none of yours!"
Zhuo Jiarui silently groaned. Sure enough, the more you say, the more mistakes you make!
"Right! Right! It’s none of my business, I’m just a little delivery guy. Mr. Ji, when do you have time to have a drink together?"
The two who occasionally met before hadn’t had a drink together for several months when they counted the days.
"No time!" Ji Rui pushed open the office door, rudely rejecting him.
Zhuo Jiarui was silently feeling down when he heard Ji Rui say, "If you don’t mind bad coffee, come in for a cup."
Zhuo Jiarui looked extremely grateful, but Ji Rui added, "Since Boss Zhuo personally delivered the goods, I can offer you a cup of instant coffee."
Zhuo Jiarui stumbled slightly behind him. Did he really go to all the trouble of personally driving the necklace over just for a cup of instant coffee from President Ji?
In the Ji Family president’s office, Boss Zhuo was tasting the difficult-to-swallow instant coffee, while over at the shopping mall, Le Tong had already bought Christmas gifts for the two kids and Ji Rui.
Originally, Xiao Li had asked her to call him after buying the gifts, but Le Tong found it too troublesome and hailed a taxi back to the hospital with the bodyguard.
Returning to the ward, the baby still hadn’t woken up, so Le Tong hid the gifts and went to Doctor Dong to inquire about the examination progress. Doctor Dong said that the items already tested had nothing suspicious, and some items might need until tomorrow for specific results.
Le Tong nodded to show she understood, afraid of hindering Doctor Dong’s work, and turned to leave after thanking him, "Tongtong, I’ll go with you to check on the baby’s condition. If everything’s okay, we can proceed with the discharge procedures."
Doctor Dong carefully examined the baby again, confirmed there was nothing abnormal, closed the medical record, handed it to the assistant, and patted the baby’s face with a smile.
"Baobao, you can be discharged now."
"Thank you, Uncle Dong, this is for you!"
The baby smiled brightly, handing a big, red apple to Doctor Dong, "Happy Christmas Eve!"
Doctor Dong laughed as he accepted the apple, "Thank you, Baobao! What to do? Uncle Dong didn’t prepare a gift for you."
The baby shook his head seriously, "Uncle Dong, you’re wrong!"
"Oh? Where am I wrong?" Doctor Dong wasn’t pretending to be dumb; he truly couldn’t see where he was wrong.
"Mommy says good health is the greatest gift, so you’ve already given me a big gift." The little guy’s logical reasoning abilities were indeed impressive.
"Haha, Baobao is so smart, that’s right, health is indeed the greatest gift!"
Doctor Dong glanced at Le Tong standing beside the bed tidying things for Baobao, silently blessing this mother and son who optimistically survived great adversities.
Le Tong completed Baobao’s discharge procedures just as Xiao Li returned to the hospital.
Le Tong called Ji Rui, "Ji Rui, Doctor Dong said Baobao can be discharged. Are you still busy? Maybe Brother Li can take us back, so you don’t have to rush back and forth."
After a brief silence on the other end, he replied, "Alright! Let Xiao Li take you back to the apartment, and I’ll have Uncle Li arrange for someone to take Nuonuo home."
Le Tong understood Ji Rui well, naturally knowing that after last night’s events, Ji Rui’s emotions must be very complicated, and not wanting to stay at the manor facing Mr. Ji was understandable.
"Alright then, I’ll ask Aunt Guan to prepare dinner. Let me know what you feel like eating, and send me a message."
The hospital and Ji Rui’s apartment were in opposite directions, north and south. The clever baby noticed the car going the wrong way and leaned on the driver’s seat, asking Xiao Li.
"Uncle Xiao Li, aren’t we going back to Grandpa’s house?"
Xiao Li didn’t know how to answer for a moment, so Le Tong quickly replied.
"Grandpa arranged to go out with friends for tea and chess today, so we’re going back to the apartment."
Baobao always trusted Le Tong and didn’t doubt her explanation, but in his heart, he was still thinking about his little sister left at the manor.
"What about Nuonuo?"
"Mommy already asked Grandpa Li to take Nuonuo back to our home."
When Ji Rui returned to the apartment, it was already dark. As soon as he opened the door, he heard Baobao loudly telling stories. It was obvious that the brother was storytelling to his little sister again.
"Are you tired? Want to take a shower first?"
Le Tong greeted him as she heard the door, taking the briefcase from Ji Rui’s hand.
Ji Rui pulled her into an embrace, kissed her lightly on the lips, "No need, I’ll just wash my face and have Aunt Guan serve the food."
He handed Le Tong his coat, then strode over to Baobao sitting on the sofa, knelt on one knee on the carpet, and naturally patted Baobao’s forehead, giving it a kiss, then bent down to kiss the little girl’s cheek on the sofa.
"Daddy, Nuonuo is listening to stories now." Baobao proudly displayed his sister’s progression to Ji Rui.
"Yes, that’s because Baobao tells them so interestingly!"
Ji Rui was no longer the strict father who hesitated to praise his children.
At dinner, when Le Tong and Ji Rui mentioned tomorrow’s plans, Baobao was overjoyed.
"Daddy, Mommy, are we really going to the theme park tomorrow?"
Having never had a Christmas celebration before, Baobao had always remained silent when his classmates bragged about their Christmas adventures and gifts after the holiday, pretending he didn’t care for this foreign festival.
So when he learned that this year he could also brag to his classmates, his little face lit up with an uncontrollable smile of delight.
"Of course! So, after dinner, Baobao must go to bed early. Tomorrow, you have to protect Nuonuo, okay?"
"No problem!" Entrusted with such an important task, Baobao felt a surge of responsibility, even speeding up during dinner.
True to his word, after dinner, Baobao went to bed very obediently.
After Le Tong and Ji Rui washed up, they went to check on the kids, who were already sound asleep.
Le Tong took out two large stockings filled with gifts, placing them at the foot of Baobao and Nuonuo’s beds.
