Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 615 - 613: Who Exactly Provoked Whom (Four Updates)
"Mommy, if Nuonuo knows she’s not my biological sister, will she be sad?"
Le Tong was quite surprised. Ever since Nuonuo was brought into their home, this topic rarely came up, especially not from Da Bao’s mouth.
No matter when, Da Bao always insisted that Nuonuo was his biological sister.
The entire family, including Old Master Yang and Yang Sheng, had always treated Nuonuo as their own, without any bias.
"Silly baby, Nuonuo is my biological daughter!" She only thought, did she, as a mother, accidentally do something to make her silly son misunderstand?
"Mommy, I know you love Nuonuo." Da Bao buried his head into Le Tong’s shoulder. Hearing his usual coquettish tone, Le Tong knew he didn’t intend to blame her.
So, what exactly happened?
"Baby, what’s going on?"
Le Tong was startled by her baby son’s unusual reaction, her heart pounding. Could it be that Nuonuo’s biological parents had come looking for them?
But on second thought, it seemed highly unlikely. The island where Yuan’er got married was a remote and isolated little island in R City, not easy to find. Besides, Nuonuo was only over a month old at the time, not fully developed, and if someone were to try identifying her through photos taken then, it would be impossible.
"Someone said Nuonuo doesn’t look like me!" Da Bao said sorrowfully, in a tone completely unlike the usual mature-for-his-age Ji Dabao.
Le Tong let out a long breath, raised her hand to pat her son’s head, and said, "Silly son, so what if she doesn’t look like you? You don’t look like me either, does that mean you’re not my biological son?"
Many times, when Le Tong and Da Bao went shopping arm in arm, people who didn’t know them would at most think they were siblings, never mother and son.
Le Tong’s words were enlightening to Da Bao, making him suddenly see the light.
"Oh, right... I don’t look like Mommy either..." Da Bao straightened up and brushed his hair.
This rare moment of silliness from Da Bao made Le Tong amused and slightly annoyed. She bent her finger and flicked his smooth forehead.
"You, silly!"
"Hehe..."
Being called a fool by Mommy, Da Bao wasn’t upset. Instead, he leaned over, hugged Le Tong’s neck, and kissed her cheek a few times.
"Da Bao, how old are you? Still acting like a little kid, haven’t you been weaned?"
The head of the household, Mr. Ji, suddenly appeared without anyone knowing, and at once saw his son hugging his wife affectionately, feeling a bit displeased.
"Daddy, even if I become an old man, in Mommy’s eyes, I’ll still be a little kid, right, Mommy?"
Da Bao didn’t take his dad’s warning to heart at all and provocatively kissed Le Tong’s cheek a couple more times.
Le Tong affectionately patted his head, giving Ji Rui, who already had a darkened face, a sidelong glance and reminded him with a smile, "Mr. Ji, Da Bao is only nine, if he’s not a kid, what is he?"
Ji Rui glared at Da Bao fiercely, turned around, and stomped up the stairs. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
Da Bao held onto Le Tong and whispered for a while longer, then, seeing it was almost time to sleep, he straightened up and gestured upstairs with a smile, "Mommy, you better go comfort Daddy, I think he’s about to explode!"
Le Tong chuckled, "If you knew he was about to explode, why did you say those things and do such things?"
Da Bao stood up and stretched lazily, "Guys like Daddy need to be annoyed from time to time, helps blood circulation and promotes metabolism!"
Le Tong couldn’t help but burst into laughter, patting his bottom, "So you mean to say your Daddy should thank you?"
"Hehe, no need for that, I’m just afraid he’d be too dull, you’d get fed up with him. Being father and son, helping out is an act of filial piety for the old man."
Le Tong also stood up and rolled her eyes at him, "Whatever, it’s already good enough if he’s not coughing up blood from anger, as for filial piety, save it!"
Da Bao, laughing, tiptoed up and kissed her again, "Goodnight, Mommy!", and with that, he slipped away like greased lightning.
Le Tong shook her head with a smile, saying "Goodnight!" to his receding back.
Le Tong pushed open the bedroom door, and Ji Rui, who was leaning on the bed reading a book, glanced at her and said coolly.
"Finished being lovey-dovey with your son?"
Le Tong raised her hand and fanned it, deliberately sniffing exaggeratedly, "Oh, what’s this smell? Why so sour?"
Ji Rui lowered his eyes, flipping through the book, ignoring her.
Le Tong resisted the urge to laugh, walked to the bedside, leaned over, and looked up at him with a proud expression, "Mr. Ji, are you jealous again?"
Ji Rui turned his face away, not looking at her, slapped the book shut, and placed it on her face, but lightly.
"Go take a shower! You smell like cooking fumes." The man’s tone of disdain nearly made Le Tong lose control.
Moving the book off her face, Le Tong pretended to smell her hand, "Mr. Ji, are you sure it’s cooking fumes and not vinegar?"
In reality, there was no smell of cooking fumes at all. Le Tong got home late today, didn’t even cook, and after a shower, spent time with the kids. Ji Rui’s remark was pure nonsense.
Whether Ji Rui was angered or teased, he suddenly threw the book, sat up swiftly, and grabbed Le Tong.
"Fine, whether fumes or vinegar, I’ll help you wash it clean!"
"Uh... Mr. Ji, I can do it myself..."
Le Tong’s screams and struggles were quickly drowned out by the sound of running water...
...
The next day, Da Bao finished washing up and came to the dining room, only to see Daddy but no sign of Mommy at the table.
"Where’s Mommy?" Da Bao looked around.
"Not awake..." The head of the household succinctly answered his son’s question, shoved the last bite of bread into his mouth, and stood up to instruct Aunt Guan.
"Aunt Guan, when Nuonuo and Little Treasure wake up, don’t tell them Mommy is still sleeping."
Obviously, he didn’t want the little ones disturbing Le Tong.
"Is Mommy not feeling well?" Da Bao asked even though he knew the answer.
Ji Rui gave him a fierce look before turning and walking out of the dining room.
Da Bao gulped down a few sips of porridge, looked at the back putting on his coat, and muttered quietly, "Didn’t even say thank you..."
Whether Ji Rui heard him or there was some father-son telepathy, he suddenly turned around, glaring at him, "Ji Yu, did you forget your school has a boarding option?"
Da Bao stuck out his tongue and made a face at Ji Rui, then continued eating his porridge.
Le Tong slept all the way until noon. When she woke up, supporting her sore body, she saw a note on the bedside table. Without looking, she knew it was from Ji Rui.
Silently cursing Ji Rui inside, Le Tong reached out to pick up the note.
"Baby, take a good rest at home today! Also, I’m considering sending Da Bao to boarding school, you and your kids think it over!"
