Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 626 - 624 Mr. Ji Worrying Needlessly (Part 1)
At some point, Da Bao crawled over to Ji Rui’s side, comfortably using Ji Rui’s thigh as a pillow, lying on his back and looking up at the crescent moon hanging in the sky, and asked.
"Daddy, can I also find someone as wonderful as Mommy?"
Ji Rui couldn’t help but laugh, pinching his nose and saying with a smile, "Silly, you’re only ten years old, why are you in such a hurry?"
Da Bao shook his head, "Of course not, it’s just that if I end up liking someone as two-faced as Yin Zhihao did, I’d rather not like anyone at all."
Da Bao understands many big truths, and he sees things more clearly than many adults.
But after all, he’s just a ten-year-old child, who hasn’t truly experienced many things yet, and certainly can’t predict or imagine what it would be like to be moved by someone.
At this moment, Ji Rui deeply felt that children being too smart may not always be a good thing. Other people’s ten-year-olds might be just sweet-talking their parents for some pocket money or gifts, while his son, at the age of ten, was discussing relationship issues with him, and at a quite deep level, not shallow or superficial at all.
"Baby, nobody’s perfect. There are no perfect people in this world. What we call perfection is nothing but an illusion imagined and filled in by ourselves. But if one day, you meet someone, knowing she’s not perfect, knowing she has many flaws, yet you still find her cute and wonderful, that means you truly love her!"
Ji Rui’s palm gently skimmed over Da Bao’s short spiky buzz cut, a little prickly, just like Da Bao’s own personality. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
Recalling the little guy’s adorable and cool look with his mushroom haircut, he really couldn’t understand why he later insisted on having his hair cut into a crew cut.
Da Bao wrapped his arms around his sturdy waist, a bit puzzled, "Mommy isn’t perfect and has lots of flaws too?"
In Da Bao’s mind, his Mommy is flawless, almost perfect.
"Of course, only machines have no flaws. Anyone with flesh and blood can’t be without flaws. For example, myself..."
Da Bao raised an eyebrow, interrupting Ji Rui, "Hey, I know your flaws: jealous, petty, prone to envy, bad temper, and not gentle or romantic!"
Ji Rui was amused and exasperated by his little son, and couldn’t help turning him over, giving him a light pat on the butt a couple of times, of course with very light force.
Da Bao exaggeratedly howled, "And child abuse too..."
Ji Rui playfully pinched his cheeks.
"Mommy loves you so much despite all your flaws, she’s always smiling. Anyone who doesn’t know might think she married a perfect man."
Ji Rui felt so riled up; if you tested his blood pressure at that moment, it would definitely be higher than when he was working out.
"You little rascal, aren’t you the same? Always plotting against your old man behind your mommy’s back, anyone who doesn’t know would think my Ji family’s son is sensible, considerate, and worry-free."
Da Bao huffed, "I am sensible and considerate!"
The father and son continued bickering for a while until Ji Rui returned to the main topic.
"Kiddo, if you like someone, remember to tell Daddy and Mommy. Daddy and Mommy will help you check her out thoroughly."
That’s something most parents would say. But there are probably only Ji Rui and Le Tong who would say this to a ten-year-old child.
Da Bao looked at him earnestly, "Daddy, I really don’t trust your judgment! But I will definitely tell you, then let Mommy help me check her out thoroughly!"
Ever since Da Bao became a little sensible, he secretly looked down on his silly old man’s emotional intelligence thoroughly. Of course, back then, he didn’t yet understand that it was called emotional intelligence.
In any case, he has known since he was young that his daddy couldn’t guess people’s thoughts, nor would he deliberately do something to please anyone.
Of course, over the years, with his and Mommy’s teaching and guidance, this silly daddy made considerable progress; at the very least, he’s much more responsible than before with Nuonuo and Little Treasure, and although not romantic with Mommy, he is incredibly gentle, and it wouldn’t be too much to say he’s most attentive to her.
And although Da Bao continuously disparaged his old man aloud, he couldn’t help but admit in his heart that his old man is indeed a good husband and good daddy now.
"Alright, you don’t trust Daddy’s judgment, but you’re welcome to show her to me. I won’t say a word, anyway, we all listen to your Mommy."
After these few years of competition, Ji Rui had long admitted in his heart that his emotional intelligence isn’t very high; instead, his son, with those sharp eyes, often sees through people, and at a young age, can already handle all sorts of people gracefully.
With a son like this, who knows what kind of girl he will need to find in the future to match him. After all, nobody likes having their thoughts easily seen through.
When going to bed, Ji Rui shared his thoughts with Le Tong, who yawned lazily and nestled into his arms.
"Mr. Ji, since when did you become so worried over nothing? Such things, just let them be. He’s different from you; he knows clearly what he wants, so surely, he’ll find the right person. Besides, he’s only ten, do we really need to worry about this already?"
"What do you mean by he’s different from me? Are you comforting me or criticizing me with that?" Ji Rui held the person in his arms tighter and gave her lips a firm bite.
"It’s to comfort you!"
Le Tong already felt very sleepy, her hand climbed over his neck, snuggling into his arms trying to find a comfortable position for sleep.
"No matter how I hear it, it sounds like you’re criticizing me, where’s the comfort in that?" Ji Rui pinched her nose not letting her sleep.
"To have such a clever, bright, and hassle-free son like you, isn’t that comforting?" Muttered Le Tong, closing her eyes, deciding to ignore him and seek out Zhou Gong in her dreams.
Ji Rui was speechless on the spot, knowing that continuing wouldn’t let him turn the situation around, he silently gritted his teeth for a while, then helplessly shook his head.
Looking down at her, seeing she was indeed worn out, he couldn’t bear to torment her any longer. He reached out to gently tuck her hair behind her ear, adjusted the blanket for her, and softly kissed her lips.
"Goodnight, my dear!"
Le Tong, half-asleep and half-awake, returned his kiss, "Mm... Goodnight..."
...
The next day, Da Bao returned to school as usual and was pulled aside by Yin Zhihao to the nearby greenhouse by the teaching building.
"What’s up? Cat got your tongue?"
Da Bao found it strange; this guy usually wouldn’t stop chattering as soon as they met, but today, he pulled him here without uttering a word.
Yin Zhihao dragged Da Bao to a secluded spot, looked around to ensure no one was around, then said, "Da Bao, give me some advice."
Da Bao was clueless, "What’s going on? You need to tell me first so I can help you with advice."
