Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 635 - 633: It’s Springtime (Three Updates)
Le Tong and Da Bao both looked up at him, puzzled, and asked in unison, "Why?"
"I had a small surgery today."
Ji Rui said casually, set the newspaper aside, walked over and picked up Little Treasure and Nuonuo in his arms, heading towards the garden. "Nuonuo Xiaobao, Daddy is taking you swinging."
The mother and son left in the living room looked at each other blankly for quite a while before they realized what was going on.
Le Tong couldn’t quite figure out her feelings, her expression complex as she said to Da Bao, "Your Daddy he..."
Da Bao snuggled against her face, interrupting her, "Mommy, you misunderstood. Daddy is just like me; he just doesn’t want you to suffer any more."
Le Tong had considered this possibility before, and hearing Da Bao say this, the indescribable feelings in her heart turned into being touched.
Although she was convinced, she said, "How do you know Daddy is like you?"
Da Bao winked at her cheekily, "Because I’m his son!"
"Alright, that reason barely holds," Le Tong pinched her son’s face and took a sip of tea.
"Mommy, just wait to become a grandma!" Da Bao added solemnly.
Poof!
Le Tong spat the tea water all over the coffee table.
After finally cleaning up the table, Le Tong turned her head and gave Da Bao a glare.
"Da Bao, be honest with Mommy, are you in love?"
If it were another family’s ten-year-old child talking about being in love, Le Tong would definitely think they were just playing house.
But her Da Bao is different. This guy inherited all of his dad’s good traits in appearance and physique, not only handsome but also tall, resembling a boy of thirteen or fourteen in looks.
Given his mental maturity, he’s probably not far from seventeen or eighteen-year-olds, maybe even more mature and steady than many youngsters.
If he were really in love, it would probably be the real thing, not just playing house.
For the first time, Le Tong truly felt that her son’s love affairs were closer to her than she had thought.
Da Bao shook his head innocently, "No, Mommy, where did your thoughts wander?"
Le Tong stared intently into Da Bao’s eyes. Those clear, bright eyes truly didn’t look like they were lying.
Le Tong breathed a sigh of relief, looking at him with eyes full of reproach, "Then why did you say such things to scare me?!"
Da Bao lunged in and hugged her waist, lying on her back and acting spoiled, "Don’t you like little babies? Then wait until I’m grown up, and I’ll have my wife give you one to play with."
Da Bao’s words made Le Tong both amused and exasperated. She twisted his face and teased, "Didn’t you say having a child is suffering? You can’t bear to see Mommy suffer, but you can bear to let your wife suffer?"
Da Bao buried his face in her back and laughed muffledly for a while, then lifted his head, "Suffering or not, that’s just our big guys’ perspective. Didn’t you say yourself, Mommy, that having me and Little Treasure was the happiest time for you? So my wife will definitely feel the same way."
Le Tong bent over, laughing uncontrollably, "Tsk, you talk as if you’ve already got a wife!"
When she straightened up, she inexplicably felt sentimental, "But, by the time you get a wife, Mommy will be an old granny."
Da Bao supported her shoulders and pushed her towards the garden, "When I get a wife, Mommy won’t be old, but Daddy, that’s hard to say."
The three who came out to swing were instead sitting on the lawn at the entrance playing with the dog.
"What does it have to do with me?" Ji Rui was holding Nuonuo, with her little hand nestled under his big one, stroking the long hair on Dahuai’s head.
"Talking about when you’re a grandpa, you’ll definitely be a grumpy old man." Da Bao went over and sat cross-legged, also petting Dahuai’s back.
Nuonuo, upon seeing Da Bao, stretched out her arms, struggling to stand up from Ji Rui’s lap to get a hug from Da Bao.
Ji Rui kissed her little curly hair and pretended to be sad, "See your brother, and don’t want Daddy anymore?"
Le Tong sat down next to him with a laugh, "Of course, Brother is a little handsome guy, but Daddy’s a grumpy old man!"
Saying this, she gave Nuonuo a thumbs up, "Nuonuo has good taste!"
Ji Rui was left speechless by this mother and son duo, pulling Le Tong closer and playfully biting her nose, "Are you saying your own taste is poor?"
Da Bao and Nuonuo, used to their parents’ affectionate displays at home, continued petting Dahuai as if nothing unusual was happening.
Le Tong slightly pushed Ji Rui away, seriously examined him for a moment, then concluded with pursed lips, "Hmm! Not much to speak of indeed!"
The couple bantered affectionately for a moment before Ji Rui brought his attention back to Da Bao’s earlier words.
"Da Bao, this rascal, are you secretly in love?"
The question was eerily similar to what Le Tong had asked as a mother, proving that, as parents, whether they’re slow or sensitive, they generally think alike.
Da Bao rolled his eyes, picked up Nuonuo and led Dahuai towards Little Treasure nearby.
"Mommy, you and Daddy can talk it out slowly. I can’t stand you two; you’re so naggy!"
Ji Rui was both amused and annoyed by his son’s last words, pointing at his son’s back and telling Le Tong, "Do you think Da Bao is in a rebellious phase?"
Le Tong also looked at her son’s back, thought for a moment, then confidently shook her head, "No!"
Ji Rui looked at her with a face that was pleading for enlightenment, "Then he is..."
"Not a rebellious phase, it’s early adolescence!" Le Tong firmly concluded.
Ji Rui, helplessly rubbing his forehead, said, "I’d rather he’d be in a rebellious phase. Tsk, early adolescence... he’s only a little over ten years old!"
At this moment, Ji Rui, with his frowning and troubled expression, looked as if he were facing a problematic multi-million dollar contract.
Le Tong pursed her lips, maintaining a serious expression for a while, and it was only when the worried father, who was pondering countermeasures, heard his wife’s stifled laughter that he suddenly realized.
Once again, he was played by his wife!
"Le Tong, are you itching for trouble?" Ji Rui glared at Le Tong fiercely.
Le Tong could hold back no longer and burst out laughing, "Haha, Mr. Ji, you’re so easy to fool! Even if Da Bao wants to enter adolescence, there has to be someone he’s interested in!"
Only then did Ji Rui remember the most crucial point. Indeed, even though Da Bao’s mind seemed mature, he had never shown any particular interest in any other female. The only females ever mentioned by him seemed to be Le Tong, Nuonuo, Yuan’er, Xiao Jing, and Wenwen—no one else.
"Are you sure he doesn’t have an adolescent interest?"
Ji Rui suddenly became a bit uneasy. Just a few days ago, he heard a director mention that his granddaughter had started puppy love at twelve with an eleven-year-old boy. Thinking about it this way, his precious son was indeed at a dangerous age.
