Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 637 - 635: Ensuring Peace (Second Update)

Ji Rui knew that he couldn’t hide from his clever son, so he stopped concealing, "I came to talk to Teacher Zhang to learn about your situation."

Da Bao continued to look up at him, "And then? Did you get the answers you were looking for?"

To be honest, Da Bao actually felt quite happy inside.

Although he had always been excellent enough that his parents never had to worry, not needing attention and being completely ignored are two different things.

Ji Rui pinched his face. Although Da Bao was already a big boy, and his face no longer had that chubby texture, as Da Bao himself often said, in the eyes of Ji Rui and Le Tong, he was forever a child.

"Well, basically."

Da Bao wasn’t at all annoyed by these affectionate gestures from his parents; on the contrary, he thoroughly enjoyed them.

After all, everyone has a need for love. And Ji Rui and Le Tong, as parents, preferred to express their love for their child in the most direct way.

Da Bao stared at his dad for a while and pouted, "Dad, you’re not worried that I’m in a puppy love, are you?"

Thinking back to the conversation he had with his parents a few days ago, Da Bao quickly came to this conclusion.

Ji Rui coughed twice, neither admitting nor denying it. This son was even smarter than he thought.

"Don’t worry, Dad, I won’t." Da Bao promised with great certainty.

"So sure?" Ji Rui wasn’t doubting his son but was curious about where his confidence came from.

"Mm."

Da Bao didn’t elaborate, so Ji Rui figured that his son was probably like himself, nearly devoid of desires before meeting the right person.

At that moment, he naturally treated his son as an adult, completely forgetting that at his age, having no desires was normal both physiologically and psychologically.

Little Treasure and Nuonuo, the two little ones, were very excited to see their dad and brother coming to pick them up. They eagerly ran towards Ji Rui, so today, Da Bao was left out, only responsible for carrying the younger siblings’ little backpacks, while the two little ones were each held by their tall and handsome dad as they left the school.

"Daddy, don’t you have to work today?" Nuonuo clung to Ji Rui’s neck, asking in a childish voice.

Nuonuo actually relied a lot on Ji Rui too, but since father and daughter usually had less contact, she had fewer opportunities to cling to him.

And the men of the Ji Family, from Ji Rui to Da Bao, and even Little Treasure, who was just over two years old, seemed to have a naturally reassuring aura. While Nuonuo was very wary of others, she was entirely trusting of the three of them.

"Mm, Daddy has a day off today, so I came to pick you up."

"Daddy, you’ve worked hard!" Nuonuo sweetly kissed his cheek.

Ji Rui felt slightly guilty. In recent years, as the Ji Family’s business expanded, there were more and more affairs to attend to. Although he had already delegated significant responsibilities to various executives, he and Le Tong, as the top decision-makers of the Ji Family, still had many things that required their personal involvement.

So, even though his focus on family had increased many times over, sometimes he still couldn’t manage to be there enough, and naturally, he spent less time with the children than a typical father might.

Fortunately, the children weren’t alienated by his busyness; instead, every time he came home, Nuonuo or Little Treasure would be waiting with slippers for him, then give him a sweet kiss just like they did earlier, and say, "Daddy, you’ve worked hard."

A light kiss and a soft "you’ve worked hard" instantly dispelled all of Ji Rui’s fatigue.

Because Daddy personally came to pick them up, Nuonuo and Little Treasure seemed particularly excited. Da Bao was very perceptive and sat in the front passenger seat, leaving the back seat for Daddy and the younger siblings.

In the back seat, Little Treasure and Nuonuo chirped away, reporting on their day at kindergarten to Ji Rui, while Da Bao in the front seat just listened with a smile.

"CEO, the tickets for the flight to Beijing the day after tomorrow are booked. Do you want to book a return ticket for the same day?" Xiao Li asked while driving.

Before Ji Rui could answer, Nuonuo and Little Treasure excitedly tugged at him, "Daddy, Daddy, are we going to Great-Grandpa’s house to play?"

Ji Rui thought for a moment, realizing that the little ones and Le Tong indeed hadn’t seen Old Master Yang for a while. "Nuonuo and Little Treasure miss Great-Grandpa?"

Oddly enough, the Old Master Yang, who used to be so fierce and intimidating that he could make his adversaries tremble, now seemed to become more and more childlike. Whenever he met Le Tong and the three children, he turned into a playful old man, and the children listened to him. If they hadn’t seen him for a while, they would clamor to visit him, just like now.

"Yes, and we miss Uncle and Auntie Xiao Jing too..." the two little ones said almost in unison.

"What about you, Da Bao? Do you have any plans for this Saturday?"

"I miss Great-Grandpa too!" Da Bao always expressed his feelings directly.

Ji Rui, without Le Tong’s consent, privately set the itinerary, "Alright then, I’ll take the Friday morning flight, and you and Mommy will follow on the evening flight."

All five of them spent two days in Beijing accompanying Old Master Yang, making him very happy. When they left, the old master had Uncle Jing bring out three jade pendants with bright colors, instructing Le Tong to help the three children put them on.

"Grandfather, these are too valuable. It’s not really suitable for children to wear them, is it?"

Le Tong didn’t understand jade appraisal but instinctively felt that these jade pendants were not cheap. The children were still young, and wearing them seemed a bit ostentatious. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"These jade pendants were specially blessed by a high monk to keep the children safe. Let them wear them."

The old master’s kind intentions couldn’t be refused, so Le Tong helped the three children wear the jade pendants.

"The jade pendant your father left you, you should keep it for protection too." Implying that Le Tong should wear it just like the kids.

"Mm, I understand."

Le Tong agreed, but once they got home, she intended to take the jade pendants back. However, Ji Rui, who had not expressed any opinion earlier, stopped her.

"Let them wear them; Grandpa said they’ll keep them safe."

Even Ji Rui said so, so Le Tong had no choice but to comply.

While Da Bao was playing with his younger siblings, he suddenly looked up and said to his parents, "Daddy, Mommy, sign me and Little Treasure up for a martial arts class."

Le Tong didn’t react immediately, "Da Bao, why are you suddenly interested in martial arts?"

Da Bao replied, "It’s not about interest. Compared to jade pendants, learning some martial arts for self-defense is more practical, isn’t it?"

Ji Rui and Le Tong suddenly understood, and soon, Ji Rui set up a martial arts studio on the top floor and hired two retired special forces officers to teach the three children.
