Chapter 142: Chapter 142: I took a liking to a woman today!

Ji Rui patted Ji Baby’s head and promised, "But if they have owners, Daddy still needs to explain it to others, otherwise, Baby would be a little thief, right?"

Seeing his son really treasured those two cats, Ji Rui quietly changed his mind, thinking of calling the Luo Family to see if these cats belonged to them, and if so, he’d ask to keep them.

After all, it’s rare for his beloved son to like something!

Because of these two cats, Ji Rui and Ji Baby changed their plans from going to the amusement center to visiting a pet shop.

Ji Baby, having grown up this much, was owning his first pet for the first time and excitedly walked around the pet shop, buying a ton of cat supplies—food, toys, clothing, everything needed.

The pet shop had a vet, who took a look at the cat mom’s wounds and praised them, "You did a great job treating the wound; it’s as good as professional care."

Ji Rui glanced at the cat and casually asked Ji Baby, "Was it Sister Luo who bandaged it?"

In fact, Ji Rui was skeptical about this; Luo Yuanyuan seemed to be a careless person, how could she be so meticulous? But maybe it was a nanny from the Luo family who did it.

When this was brought up, Ji Baby didn’t say a word.

Ji Rui assumed he was confirming it, but he didn’t realize he had unwittingly touched on Ji Baby’s frustration.

Ji Baby just couldn’t understand it, despite being a handsome little guy adored by everyone, he couldn’t even get a pretty sister’s phone number!

Little did he know, he couldn’t get the pretty sister’s number not because he wasn’t handsome or cute enough, but because he had a suspicious and moody Daddy, so even the pretty sister kept her distance from him as if he were a plague.

The doctor was a beautiful woman who seemed to have a favorable impression of Ji Rui. Seeing his hand was still bleeding, she eagerly walked over, "Sir, your hand is also injured. Shall I help you with it?"

Ji Rui didn’t even furrow his brow, responding indifferently, "No need."

This kind of pain wasn’t a big deal to him, but letting a stranger casually touch him, especially a woman, was a big deal.

The beautiful doctor felt a bit awkward after being rejected, so she reached out to try and take the cat, "Little brother, let sister help change its medicine. Our medicine here is quite special."

Unexpectedly, Ji Baby, who was previously excitedly picking through everything, responded just like his daddy, loudly saying, "No need!", and twisted his body, shielding the cat from the doctor’s hands.

The beautiful doctor became even more embarrassed and didn’t dare to lose her temper because the father and son had just spent tens of thousands on pet supplies, making them rare and valuable guests. Knowing she couldn’t afford to offend them, she merely laughed awkwardly, using her hand to comb through her hair, trying to conceal her discomfort.

At her inadvertently flirtatious gesture, Ji Baby gave her a slightly disgusted glance and then turned his head away, refusing to look at her again.

Vulgar!

Ji Baby muttered in his heart, his mind flashing with the elegant and beautiful face of Le Tong.

Sure enough, people just can’t be compared!

Before meeting Le Tong, Ji Baby could always spot a bunch of flaws in any woman’s face, but only with Le Tong could he not find a single blemish.

Perhaps this is what people call "love at first sight"!

Back in the car, Ji Baby suddenly said something to Ji Rui after closing the car door.

"Daddy, today I fell for a woman!"

Ji Rui was so startled he almost jumped, "Ah?!"

Ji Baby very seriously and solemnly repeated, "Today I fell for a woman!"

When Ji Baby wants to express his strong feelings, he changes his self-reference from "Baby" to "I"!

Ji Rui felt that his beloved son was really getting better at surprising him!

"What woman?"

This little guy, could he have fallen for that carefree Luo Yuanyuan from the Luo family?

Please no!

The aftermath from the party intended to choose a mom for Ji Baby had finally brought Ji Rui a rare period of peace, largely due to Ji Baby’s dislike for those women.

But if this little guy truly fell for Luo Yuanyuan, then Ji Rui knew he’d be in big trouble!

Compared to the old man, Ji Rui found Ji Baby even harder to handle!

Ji Baby pouted and tilted his head, thinking, "I don’t know, anyway, it’s a very pretty, very pretty sister."

After saying that, Ji Baby lowered his head gloomily, petting the kitten with an intermittent touch.

Relieved to find out it wasn’t Luo Yuanyuan, Ji Rui dismissed the words as mere childish nonsense and quickly forgot about it.

Little did he know, the "very pretty, very pretty sister" in his son’s words was actually his secretary, Le Tong.

And Le Tong, that day, had diligently stayed at the party scene until the evening, helping Luo Yifan see the guests off. Luo Yifan and his family invited Le Tong to spend the night at the Luo Family, but Le Tong insisted on going home, citing work commitments, and had Luo Yifan arrange for a driver to take her home.

Luo Yifan couldn’t persuade her and had to personally drive her home.

Having spent most of the day socializing with Luo Yifan, Le Tong was utterly exhausted and, upon getting in the car, lounged lazily in the seat in a totally relaxed posture.

Luo Yifan fastened the seatbelt, his gaze, loving and amused, resting on Le Tong.

"Tongtong, thank you for your hard work today!"

Le Tong weakly waved her hand, "Oh come on, why being so polite with me?"

Seeing her face a bit flushed, Luo Yifan couldn’t help but reach out, though he dared not really touch her face, merely brushing a few strands of hair off her face.

"You’ve drunk too much. Next time, when you’re in such situations, don’t try to be brave; leave it to me."

Indeed, Le Tong had drunk quite a bit, so her thoughts weren’t as coherent as usual.

"There won’t be a next time!"

She said it casually, without much thought. Luo Yifan was stunned, his expression changing slightly, even the smile in his eyes froze instantly.

"Tongtong, what do you mean by that?"

He tried his best to lower his voice and asked gently, even though his heart was now beating at a completely different pace than usual, he tried hard to look calm.

Le Tong slightly came back to her senses, reflecting on her words, realizing how unpleasant they sounded, quickly explained.

"I mean, I’ll never act tough again!"

Though, in reality, that wasn’t the original meaning behind her words.

But after all, it was still Luo Yifan’s birthday today, some things had better be left unsaid for later.
