Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 599 - 598: Making Cakes for You for a Lifetime (Second Update)
The birthday cake, a small part of it was smeared on the faces of three people. Some of it was eaten in the new house, and the rest was later taken back to the apartment and put in the fridge.
Le Tong divided them into several small pieces, and for the next few days, breakfast, afternoon tea, and midnight snacks were all birthday cakes.
At first, Baobao and Ji Rui were both very happy. After all, having their hard work recognized and loved was a very delightful thing.
However, seeing Le Tong eating it the first day, the second day, and even on the third day, Ji Rui threatened to throw away the leftover cake in the fridge.
Le Tong stood in front of the fridge door, stubbornly guarding her delicious food.
"You can’t throw it away, I like eating it!"
Le Tong wasn’t wrong in saying that; she was a foodie by nature, with no resistance to delicious cakes and desserts.
"Sweetheart, if you like it, I’ll make it for you every day from now on. These have been here for a few days and aren’t good for your health!" Ji Rui coaxed Le Tong softly.
Le Tong’s eyes sparkled, "Would you really make it for me from now on?"
Ji Rui nodded eagerly, "As long as you want to eat, I’ll make it for you!"
Thus, the ever-ambitious President Ji, who had always believed in the principle of "a gentleman stays away from the kitchen," slowly mastered a superb skill because of a promise for Le Tong’s 25th birthday.
The cakes he made were exceptional in both appearance and taste, no less than those made by professional pastry chefs. And in the decades that followed, Le Tong remained the most loyal fan of his cakes.
In the following decades, it was the only cooking skill he could show off!
Having received Ji Rui’s promise, Le Tong obediently shared the cake with everyone.
On the third day of the New Year holiday, the entire Ji family sat on a cruise ship, reportedly a gift from Mr. Ji for Baobao’s third birthday, to take wedding photos.
The photography team consisted of renowned photographers that Ji Rui specifically invited back from abroad. All of Ji Rui’s, Baobao’s, and Nuonuo’s outfits, as well as Le Tong’s wedding dress and gowns, were designed by a famed designer tailored to each individual’s characteristics, making each outfit unique.
All the jewelry and accessories used for the wedding dresses and gowns were sponsored and provided by Zhuo Jiarui. Of course, this was after Boss Zhuo pleaded with President Ji for a long time before Mr. Ji reluctantly agreed.
At that time, his exact refusal was, "I’m not short on money!"
Later, Ji Rui bought a few that Le Tong liked, and the rest was returned to Zhuo Jiarui after the photoshoot.
The photographer instructed Ji Rui in a white suit to embrace Le Tong, who was wearing a purple-blue flowing wedding gown, leaning against the railing. The sea breeze lifted Le Tong’s dark, shiny hair adorned with a floral crown, and the purple long scarf fluttered in the air, making the couple look like a prince and princess fallen from heaven to the earth...
The red setting sun dangled over the sea, stained golden by the sunset. Ji Rui and Le Tong, dressed in casual attire, with the handsome Baobao on Ji Rui’s back and Le Tong holding the cute and beautiful Nuonuo, pointed at the big red sun and talked about something...
The photographer’s hand kept pressing the shutter, capturing all these beautiful moments of the loving couple and their two adorable children, freezing them forever in time, even though it was just a fleeting moment.
Just like the love between Le Tong and Ji Rui.
...
Le Tong initially thought that after choosing the wedding dress and outfits and taking the wedding photos, the preparations for the wedding should be almost done.
Who would have known that Ji Rui was quite attentive to suggestions from the wedding planning company? Despite having already visited Beijing to propose, he stubbornly prepared a whole bunch of traditional betrothal gifts according to custom, making the pilot fly the Ji Family’s private plane to deliver them to Beijing along with them.
Yang Sheng welcomed them at the Yang Family’s small airport. Upon seeing the servants moving one traditional gift after another off the plane, Yang Sheng couldn’t help but tease Ji Rui.
"Rui, haven’t you already proposed? Why go through all this again?"
The Old Master Yang, nearby, immediately shot Yang Sheng a glare.
"Sheng, don’t talk nonsense."
These gifts were traditional betrothal items, not expensive but requiring a complicated preparation process. Even though Ji Rui was so busy, he still insisted on completing all these traditional procedures, which showed how much he valued Le Tong and this marriage.
These protocols, focusing more on auspicious gestures, are often neglected by many young people nowadays. However, Ji Rui, not wanting there to be any hindrance or misunderstanding in his relationship with Le Tong, was determined to perfect every detail.
These actions made Old Master Yang regard him in a new light. Watching Ji Rui direct the servants to move the items inside, the Old Master secretly told Le Tong. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
"Girl, I’m very at ease leaving you in his hands!"
In Le Tong’s heart, she was very grateful to Ji Rui.
These days, even young people of ordinary backgrounds don’t always take the trouble to please their in-laws wholeheartedly.
And Ji Rui, with a naturally proud and arrogant personality, had a status and standing not much different from Old Master Yang. Yet, for her sake, he was willing to repeatedly approach her family in a way befitting of a junior, with humility and respect.
"Grandpa, he’s really great! Truly!"
Yang Sheng, hearing this nearby, felt a bit displeased, "Tsk, not even married yet, and he’s already the best?"
Le Tong took his arm, "Of course not, Brother, you’re just as great as he is!"
"That’s more like it!" Yang Sheng nodded in satisfaction.
Le Tong always believed that, in this world, only Ji Rui could possess such a strong sense of possessiveness and jealousy.
Now, she realized that her brother probably had a temperament similar to Ji Rui’s.
No wonder these two could become lifelong friends.
"Girl, your wedding is on February 14th. Do you have any plans after that?"
The Old Master, who had been playing with Baobao, suddenly joined in and asked.
Le Tong blinked, as per Ji Rui’s idea, the next day should mark the start of their honeymoon!
However, listening to the Old Master now, it seemed like he had other plans?
"Grandpa, Ji Rui and I haven’t decided on our itinerary yet. There’s still a month to go, no rush."
Le Tong didn’t immediately tell the Old Master her original plan because she knew that if she voiced it, he would definitely respect her choice.
The Old Master hesitated for a while, "Then on February 15th, Grandpa would like you to come back to Beijing for a homecoming banquet, okay?"
Initially, as the grandfather of the bride, he could straightforwardly make this request.
But he felt guilty towards Le Tong, and if she didn’t want to, he wouldn’t force her.
Le Tong’s heart skipped a beat, silently scolding herself for overlooking this custom. Indeed, many people still adhere to this practice, and for a big family like the Yang Family, not having a homecoming banquet would greatly embarrass the Old Master.
"Grandpa, this is what should be done, my oversight. Let’s discuss the specifics of the banquet later, shall we?"
