Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 594 - 593 Christmas Gift. Four (First Update)
Most young people are indulging themselves in bars, squares, or karaoke at this time, spending their limited youth and unlimited enthusiasm.
But Le Tong and Ji Rui are each facing a computer, typing away, sometimes frowning in thought, sometimes coming together to exchange opinions. Time flies by, and in the blink of an eye, it’s past midnight, and they’ve welcomed a new day through work, which also happens to be Christmas.
"Tired, aren’t you? Go to sleep."
Ji Rui turned off his computer and embraced Le Tong, who was leaning back on her chair.
Lately, she had been strictly ordered to sleep by eleven at the latest, but there was so much work recently, she couldn’t bear to let Ji Rui work hard all alone, so she insisted on staying up with him till the end.
However, having enjoyed some leisurely days, the work intensity over the past few days genuinely took a toll on her. Ji Rui couldn’t persuade her, so he had no choice but to call it a day at midnight and head to bed.
Seeing how utterly exhausted she was, Ji Rui decided to go all out, bending down to pick her up and carrying her to the bedroom.
Flipping on the light, he carried her to the bed, and as soon as she touched the bed, she stretched out comfortably and closed her eyes.
Ji Rui didn’t even ask her to brush her teeth, he covered her with the blanket, intending to fetch a warm towel to wipe her face. As he straightened, his eye caught sight of a big sock hanging on the bed header out of nowhere!
Ji Rui’s heart filled with joy, afraid of being wrong again and adding frustration, he suppressed his excitement and reached out to grab the sock with bated breath. Inside was indeed a beautifully packaged box.
"Baby, is this a gift from you?"
Ji Rui had been disappointed once before, so he cautiously asked Le Tong for confirmation.
"Mm..." Le Tong mumbled, still with her eyes closed.
Ji Rui snuggled with the sock, contentedly sitting on the bed cross-legged, and all the evening’s gloom vanished instantly.
"Is it really for me?" Ji Rui, like a child, carefully took the box out of the sock.
Le Tong rolled over, lying on Ji Rui’s lap, and half-asleep mumbled, "Mm...see if you like it..."
"Of course, I like it!" Ji Rui hadn’t even opened the box yet, didn’t even know what’s inside, but his lips were practically stretching to his ears.
In her haze, Le Tong felt his response was too perfunctory, she half-opened an eye and squinted at him, seeing the box still intact in his hand. She pouted, discontentedly saying, "You haven’t even opened it!"
Ji Rui bent down and gave her a hard kiss on the lips, "As long as it’s from you, whatever it is, I love it."
Le Tong rolled her eyes at him, "Had I known this, I would’ve bought a big winter melon from the market for you, so you could hug it to sleep every night."
Ji Rui chuckled and kissed her again, "I don’t like winter melons; I have you."
Le Tong poked his chest, pretending to be extremely displeased, "So in your heart, I’m like a winter melon?"
Ji Rui blinked innocently, "I didn’t say that, it was you who said it."
Le Tong snorted, reaching to grab the box, "I won’t give you this gift anymore, you ungrateful heartless thing."
Ji Rui extended his arm, holding the box aloft.
"I’ve already accepted the gift; it’s mine."
Le Tong snorted again, snuggling closer to find a comfortable position on his lap, and slowly closed her eyes.
Ji Rui tenderly touched her face, couldn’t help but plant a few more kisses on her cheek and nose. Le Tong’s palm slapped onto his face, "So tired, not today..."
Ji Rui naturally knew she was tired, she hadn’t slept the whole night before at the hospital. How could he bear to bother her?
"Open it quickly..." The half-asleep Le Tong instructed him drowsily.
Ji Rui tore the wrapping paper off the box, revealing a square box inside. He opened it with a "snap", revealing not only a men’s watch but also a pair of cufflinks of the same brand.
"Do you like it?"
Le Tong didn’t open her eyes, but from the sound, she knew he had seen the gift.
"I love it! Thank you, baby!" Ji Rui’s lips landed on Le Tong’s lips again.
Le Tong, half-dazed, opened her eyes and propped herself up, "Put it on and let me see..."
Le Tong’s gaze became gradually clearer, watching Jin Rui strap the watch on without blinking.
She had never bought anything this expensive and wasn’t sure if her taste matched Ji Rui’s preferences, nor if the chosen style would look good on him.
"The cufflinks and watch are matching, I thought it really suited you, so I bought it together."
Le Tong had added a lot of clothes for Ji Rui recently, but they were mainly casual wear because Ji Rui’s wardrobe was already filled with luxury suits tailored by a personal stylist, and enough ties and such to complement them—they didn’t need any additions.
As for accessories like watches, Ji Rui already had plenty. Le Tong hadn’t planned on buying one, but she happened to see this one and thought it would look wonderful on him, so she bit the bullet and bought the expensive limited-edition watch.
Fortunately, she had a black gold card from Old Sir Yang, which he had given her a few days prior, containing dividends transferred at regular intervals. Otherwise, she would have had to borrow money from Baobao’s account again.
Ji Rui had a well-balanced wheatish skin tone, his skin wasn’t as delicate as Le Tong or Baobao’s, yet it wasn’t as coarse as most men. The lines on his wrist were beautiful, his hands were big with long fingers. The watch with its silver-white bracelet, black face, and diamond-studded markers, adorned his wrist, exuding a sense of wisdom and stability while not losing its noble allure.
"It looks amazing!" Ji Rui sincerely exclaimed.
"Do you like it?" Le Tong brought her face closer to him for praise.
"I absolutely love it!" Ji Rui had already decided he’d only wear this watch from now on.
"What about the cufflinks?" Le Tong pointed at the cufflinks also studded with small diamonds.
"I love them just as much!" This was no lie from Ji Rui.
He placed the cufflinks in his palm, gazing at them carefully, suddenly recalling something.
"Baby, do you remember?"
"Hmm?!" Le Tong was puzzled by the question.
"You once gave a pair of cufflinks to Yang Sheng before."
Ji Rui recalled it clearly; Yang Sheng had just returned from Y Country a few days prior when Le Tong gifted him a pair of cufflinks. At that time, it really made him feel uncomfortable!
Of course, Le Tong remembered, but that was over a year ago.
"Mr. Ji, seriously? That was so long ago, and you still remember!" Le Tong pursed her lips, deeply impressed by Ji Rui’s memory while also secretly mocking his lack of magnanimity.
"Of course, I remember everything about you!"
Ji Rui couldn’t even explain why; before he realized he liked Le Tong, everything about her had already taken root and grown in his heart, leaving a deep impression.
