Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 598 - 587 This Is Our Home (Part 1)

Le Tong was stunned at the door, watching the colorful ribbons dance before her eyes, her mind blank.

A familiar scent wafted over, and soon she was embraced tightly.

"Baby, happy birthday!" The man whispered softly in her ear and then gently kissed her face and lips a few times.

"Mommy, happy birthday!" At the same time, an arm encircled her waist, and a crisp, clean child’s voice penetrated Le Tong’s eardrums.

"Thank you, Baobao, so sweet!" Le Tong patted the man’s broad back with one hand and rubbed Baobao’s head with the other.

She looked up, smiled at Ji Rui embarrassedly, "I completely forgot..."

In her memory, from childhood to adulthood, she had never deliberately celebrated her birthday. Maybe it was because her mother was busy making a living, or maybe for other reasons. Later, during her first year at university, Yuan’er wanted to throw her a birthday party, but her mother was seriously ill at the time. After that, Yuan’er always hesitated to mention celebrating her birthday, perhaps worried about stirring up her sad memories.

Ji Rui released her, tapped her nose, "I knew you’d forget...", his tone full of helplessness yet with a trace of indulgence.

Le Tong’s gaze swept over the small courtyard, only to realize that she, Ji Rui, and Baobao were in a completely unfamiliar environment.

"Where is this..."

Ji Rui wasn’t in a hurry to answer her, holding Baobao in one hand and leading her by the hand along the cobblestone path, "Do you like it here?"

Le Tong didn’t immediately answer him but seriously examined the layout of the small courtyard.

This courtyard must be about a hundred square meters in size. For the Ji Family or Yang Family Mansion, such a garden is indeed small, but in Le Tong’s eyes, this small garden is very spacious and beautiful.

On both sides of the cobblestone path, there are two rectangular flowerbeds full of roses. Needless to say, Ji Rui had noted down everything Le Tong mentioned in the Yang Family’s garden.

Behind the flowerbed on the right, a mango tree is planted. Beneath the shade of the mango tree, there are two swings and a large rocking chair. Beside it, a small pavilion houses a round stone table and several stone stools.

Behind the flowerbed on the left, a large longan tree is planted. Beneath the longan tree, there’s a small circular slide, a climbing frame, and several small sports play equipment suitable for children.

In the left corner, several mushroom-shaped small houses built evidently as homes for dogs and cats.

"Ji Rui, this wouldn’t be..." Le Tong wasn’t very sure if her thought was correct.

"That’s right, this is our home. Do you like it?" Ji Rui didn’t keep the mystery and revealed the answer straightforwardly.

Since establishing a romantic relationship with Le Tong, he had been prepared to marry anytime and quickly bought this small house he thought Le Tong would definitely like, decorated it according to the preferences of Le Tong and Baobao, with the help of Mr. Yuan.

"I love it!" Le Tong didn’t hesitate for a moment.

But she suddenly remembered the apartment they currently lived in seemed to have been renovated not long ago.

"What about the apartment? It’s just been renovated, not living there seems like such a waste." Le Tong expressed regret.

"No waste at all, Baobao and Nuonuo need a bigger space to play, and you love planting florals and plants, but the apartment is always inconvenient."

The issues Ji Rui mentioned were ones Le Tong had also thought about, which is why she had assumed that after marriage, Ji Rui might plan to move back to the mansion.

"There’s a large open space there, you can plant anything you want." Ji Rui pointed at the large area beside the pavilion.

"Daddy, can Baobao build a koi pond there?"

Unlike the always clueless Le Tong, Baobao had known about this little house for a week longer, and the place Ji Rui pointed to was exactly where Baobao kept insisting he wanted to raise koi fish.

"Isn’t there already a large aquarium at home?"

Ji Rui had his reasons; that large area was specifically left for Le Tong to do with as she pleased, and naturally wouldn’t be given up for Baobao’s fish.

"But those are all tropical fish, Baobao wants a pond for koi fish."

Le Tong supported her child naturally, "If Baobao wants it, let him have it."

"How about building one on the rooftop balcony, would that be okay?" Ji Rui proposed a mutually agreeable solution.

"Okay!"

This time Baobao didn’t insist further; he merely wanted a fish pond, whether on the balcony or in the garden didn’t matter to him.

As they approached the front door, Baobao struggled free from Ji Rui’s embrace and jumped to Le Tong, holding her hand.

"Mommy, come inside and see!"

The white house was beautifully decorated with various fresh flowers and balloons in front.

"Did Baobao do all this?"

"Of course, Baobao and Daddy did it all together, is it pretty?"

"It’s lovely!" Le Tong lowered her head to kiss Baobao’s face.

Seeing this, Ji Rui bent down and pointed to his own cheek.

Le Tong couldn’t help but laugh and tease him, "Shameless!"

Ji Rui wasn’t bothered at all by this evaluation and tilted his face, signaling Le Tong that he wouldn’t budge unless she kissed him.

Le Tong inclined and casually kissed him; Ji Rui, however, wasn’t satisfied, gripping the back of her neck and gave her a hearty kiss before letting go.

"Let’s go inside!"

Feeling contented, Ji Rui led Le Tong in as they pushed open the door.

Inside, the layout was very simple, mostly considering Baobao and Nuonuo’s reason, the flooring including the upstairs stair steps were all carpeted.

The living room’s furnishings were simple, bright, and elegant without being ostentatious.

The room was filled with pink roses, their sweet fragrance wafting throughout the house.

Baobao pulled Le Tong to the center of the living room, "Mommy, stand here, close your eyes and don’t move."

"Alright!" Le Tong smiled and closed her eyes.

"You must wait until Baobao says you can open them before you do!" Baobao instructed seriously.

Le Tong obediently nodded, standing quietly in the center of the living room, her ears perked up, listening carefully to the surrounding sounds.

After about tens of seconds, a duet of crisp and deep male voices came from a little distance.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."

Le Tong, with her eyes closed and lips curled into a smile, waited until the duet reached her ears and heard Baobao announce, "Mommy, you can open your eyes now!" She then opened her eyes.

In front of her was a two-tiered birthday cake, adorned with flickering candlelight.

"Did Baobao make this birthday cake?" With Baobao’s clever hands, making this cake was not difficult.

"Baobao and Daddy made it together!" Baobao naturally brought his partner into the spotlight.

Ji Rui making a cake was quite a surprise to Le Tong.

"Thank you Baobao! Thank you, Mr. Ji!"

Being valued so dearly by the two most important men in her life, Le Tong’s heart was like being filled with honey: This must be why the man came home early, to make a birthday cake!
