Cute baby's sky-high pretty mom

Chapter 457 Comes Fast, Goes Fast (Fifth Watch)
Ji Rui was looking forward to Lawyer Fan being able to fix Le Tong tomorrow, so he was in a good mood and buried himself in a bunch of tedious matters.

After he finished dealing with the urgent matters at hand, he raised his head, only to find that the sky had already darkened. He raised his wrist to look at his watch, and couldn't help being startled.

It turned out that the time was already six thirty in the evening.

In a hurry, Ji Rui tidied up the documents on the table casually, locked a few extremely important documents in the safe, pulled his coat over his hand and walked out of the office quickly with his bag in hand.

It was dark outside, and there was no one in Le Tong's seat.

Only then did Ji Rui realize that his kindness had offended her again.

During this period of time, she would knock on his door on time after get off work to remind him that it was time to leave work, and then the two of them would go to the kindergarten to pick up the baby from school.

But today, not only did she not come to mention him, she even slipped away by herself.

Ji Rui sighed secretly, it seems that being too principled is not a good thing.

Under Le Tong's desk, there was a piece of paper, and Ji Rui pinched it to have a look.

"I'm going to pick up the baby."

This note was so simple that it didn't even have a basic title, but the familiar handwriting on it made Ji Rui's mood inexplicably better.

Imagining her angry appearance when writing this note, Ji Rui couldn't help shaking his head, and couldn't help laughing out loud in the empty office.

However, when Ji Rui returned home and saw Le Tong and the baby's slippers neatly placed in the entrance, his good mood disappeared instantly.

"Mr. Ji." Aunt Guan heard the door knock and came out of the kitchen.

"Where are Le Tong and Bao Bao? Haven't come back yet?"

Ji Rui's complexion was not very good, and his tone was also very cold. It had been a long time since Aunt Guan had faced Ji Rui with such a cold face.

"Miss Le called back at five o'clock and said that she would go to Miss Yuan'er's house with her baby tonight, and she would not come back for dinner. Didn't she tell you, Mr. Ji?"

Ji Rui's face became even more ugly, and he didn't bother to answer Aunt Guan's subsequent questions. He took off his coat, pulled his tie and threw it on the sofa, and went into the bedroom without saying a word, took his clothes and went to take a bath.

This low air pressure was maintained until after dinner, and when he entered the study, Aunt Guan was slightly relieved.

Looking at the closed study door, Aunt Guan vaguely understood that Mr. Ji might have quarreled with Ms. Le.

"Miss Le, when will you and the young master come back? I'll cook supper and wait for you to come back." Aunt Guan tentatively called Le Tong.

"Aunt Guan, the baby had a great time here. I don't know when I will go back yet. You don't need to prepare anything specially for us. If we haven't returned by ten o'clock, we should stay here in Yuan'er."

Le Tong on the other side of the phone spoke very calmly. It sounds like he should be in a good mood.

It seems that Mr. Ji offended Miss Le.

After reaching this conclusion, Aunt Guan went to the kitchen to make a cup of coffee.

Of course, it’s not that she’s being lazy on purpose, but that her coffee making skills are very poor. Ji Rui once made it clear that she would rather drink her instant coffee than her brewed coffee.

Aunt Guan knocked on the study door with instant coffee, "Mr. Ji, I made you a cup of coffee."

"The door is unlocked, come in."

Aunt Guan walked in with the coffee, and saw Ji Rui sitting in front of the computer and staring at the screen intently, typing back and forth on the keyboard quickly.

Aunt Guan carefully put the coffee on his left hand side, but instead of exiting as quickly as usual, she stood beside him for a while.

"Is there anything else?" Ji Rui still focused on his own affairs, but he opened his mouth and asked expressionlessly.

"Mr. Ji..."

Aunt Guan is not a talkative person, and she rarely gossips about her master, but her intuition tells her that the probability of Miss Le not coming back tonight is as high as 90.00%, and Mr. Ji should still be in the dark. in the drum.

"Go and warm up the meal, Le Tong and the baby might be hungry when they come back."

See, she knew that Mr. Ji must think that Miss Le just went out for a stroll.

"I called Miss Le just now..."

Before Aunt Guan could finish speaking, Ji Rui looked up at her and asked eagerly, "Huh? What did she say?"

Aunt Guan couldn't bear it, so she had to modify what Le Tong said.

"Miss Le said that Miss Yuan'er's family is very enthusiastic, and she is not sure if she can come back to sleep tonight."

The meaning is actually the same, but the sin of being passive is definitely less serious than being active.

Ji Rui frowned slightly, "Oh...", turned his head, and started typing "snacks" on the computer again.

Aunt Guan was still standing, and hesitated again, "Mr. Ji, how about I call and ask Miss Le to come back?"

Ji Rui paused for a moment, then waved his hand, "No!"

Aunt Guan thought that Ji Rui was mad, so she refused to let her call.

She wanted to help her master, but she didn't dare to expressly disobey him. After all, Ji Rui didn't look like a kind person, so she didn't dare to offend him casually.

In particular, this matter is also related to Le Tong, who he cares most about, she is even more afraid to make her own claims.

"Then... I'm going out first. If Mr. Ji has any orders, call me. I'll wait outside."

Ji Rui replied humbly, and continued to concentrate on his own affairs.

When the door of the study was closed, Ji Rui's hands that kept flying on the keyboard also stopped.

The whole person slumped on the chair, frowning and pursing his lips, thinking for a while before reaching for the phone and pressing the shortcut key "1".

The phone rang for a long time, so long that Ji Rui thought that the other party was determined not to answer his call.

Just when Ji Rui was about to hang up, the call was connected.

"Hello? Mr. Ji?"

As soon as Ji Rui heard this title, his heart became inexplicably angry.

Normally, if Le Tong called him that, he wouldn't mind at all. Sometimes, he even felt that when she called him that, there would be more admiration and respect in her eyes.

He does not deny that he is just an ordinary man, and he also needs the admiration and respect of the woman he likes.

But at this moment, when he heard a familiar voice addressing him as Mr. Ji, he felt inexplicably alienated and indifferent.

"Have you had dinner? When are you going to come back? I'll pick you up!"

Ji Rui was angry, but he did not forget that Le Tong was also angry with him.

There was no sound from the microphone, probably because he didn't expect the man on the phone to be so submissive.

"Le Tong?" Ji Rui called again in a low voice.

"Well, I will play with the baby for another half an hour, and the driver from Yuan'er will take us back. You are also tired, so you don't need to come here to pick us up."

Le Tong's voice obviously softened.

The burning fire in Ji Rui's heart was soothed by her soft voice.

"Okay, be careful on the way, I'll ask Aunt Guan to cook supper and wait for you to come back."
