Chapter 157: Chapter 157 Baobao Has No Mommy

Since childhood, he had been used to being the center of attention, never needing to consider others’ feelings. Le Tong was someone he wanted to be close to, so it was natural for him to appear as adorable and well-behaved.

But why should he show a good face to a woman who saw his daddy as a delicious piece of meat?

The doctor examined Little Bai carefully and confirmed he had only eaten some unclean food. He prescribed a few bottles of medicine, instructing Le Tong to mix them in the milk for the cat. Le Tong agreed, turned around, and handed the medicine to Aunt Guan, the nanny who was following behind.

"Miss Le, thank you today!" After leaving the pet shop and getting into the taxi, Aunt Guan, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, turned to Le Tong to express her gratitude.

The nanny had hardly spoken during the journey. Honestly, after days of getting along, she was still a bit afraid of Ji Baby. Such a smart child, she could be dismissed at any time if she accidentally said the wrong thing. So, she mostly kept silent when accompanying Ji Baby to avoid making mistakes by speaking too much.

Ji Baby, finding her boring too, would only get lost in his own world if they were together. Thus, on this journey, Aunt Guan was like a transparent person. Even Le Tong, someone who understood others’ feelings, almost forgot her presence.

On the way back, Ji Baby, as usual, chattered endlessly with Le Tong, and when the car passed by a tea restaurant, Le Tong got off with Ji Baby.

Inside the restaurant, Le Tong ordered curry fish ball noodles for Ji Baby according to his request, and for herself, she got a bowl of beef brisket noodles. Worried that Ji Baby might not be full, she also ordered two baskets of soup dumplings.

The noodles were served, Ji Baby first picked up a fish ball to eat, and then frowned.

"Not tasty!"

Le Tong patted his head, "Not as good as the home chef’s?"

Ji Baby shook his head, wanting to say they weren’t as good as the ones made by the beautiful big sister, but then, fearing Le Tong would be jealous, he nodded. He didn’t know that the beautiful big sister in his heart was actually Le Tong in front of him, whom he wanted to be close to.

"Children shouldn’t be picky eaters, understand?" Le Tong took two pieces of beef brisket from her bowl and placed them in Ji Baby’s bowl.

Ji Baby nodded obediently, picking up the brisket and putting it in his mouth.

Soon, the steaming soup dumplings were also served. Ji Baby sniffed them, showing a surprised look, picked one up, and chewed it in his mouth.

"Mm, delicious, just like the ones daddy brought home last night."

It turned out that the soup dumplings Ji Rui brought back last night were the signature dish from this restaurant.

Le Tong was slightly surprised but quickly returned to normal, thinking President Ji buying dumplings from this restaurant was purely a coincidence.

"Is it delicious?" Le Tong deliberately ignored the person Ji Baby repeatedly mentioned.

"Mm, delicious!"

It seemed Ji Baby truly liked the soup dumplings here. Once the dumplings were served, the remaining half bowl of noodles was hardly touched.

Seeing his fondness, Le Tong gestured for the waiter to bring over two more baskets.

Leaving the restaurant, it was already past eight. Worried about meeting Ji Rui if it got late, Le Tong raised her hand hurriedly to hail a taxi once outside, but the taxis on the road were nearly all occupied. After waiting for a few minutes in the cold wind, no taxi appeared.

"Sister, how about we walk back?"

Ji Baby tugged at Le Tong’s hand, looking up expectantly at her.

This little guy was finding every way to spend more time with Le Tong.

Le Tong glanced at the road conditions around. The place wasn’t far from Ji Rui’s home, about a ten-minute walk. By car, it would only take a few minutes, but with the current traffic, those few minutes could easily become an hour or two.

Ji Baby seemed to see through Le Tong’s hesitation and pointed at the vehicles on the road, adding, "There are so many cars!"

"Alright, let’s walk back then!"

Holding Le Tong’s hand, Ji Baby was excited as they walked, chatting non-stop. Suddenly, he looked up and asked her.

"Sister, do you know Baby’s name?"

"Aren’t you called Baby?" Le Tong laughed, pinching Ji Baby’s cheek.

Honestly, she didn’t want to know Ji Baby’s name, as if knowing it would help her forget that Ji Baby was Ji Rui’s son.

Ji Baby let her pinch and twist, unusually not getting angry or upset.

"You can call me Baby, but Baby has a name, Baby is called Ji Yu, and Baby’s daddy is called Ji Rui. Sister, you must remember it!"

Ji Baby solemnly told Le Tong both his and his daddy’s names, leaving her with no choice but to nod and say she would remember.

"Sister, not only is Baby’s daddy good at swimming, he’s also a very capable person!"

Ji Baby thought that with enough familiarity with Le Tong, he could start promoting his daddy.

Le Tong could only nod again, "Oh, really? No wonder Baby is so good too!"

Despite the casual response to Ji Baby, inside, she was silently complaining.

I surely know how capable your daddy is. Just a sneeze in my direction or a random cold glare is enough to make me uncomfortable for a whole day!

"Right?! Everyone says Baby is smart like daddy!"

Ji Baby was not at all ashamed, casually praising himself.

Le Tong thought, being smart is fine, but don’t be like him, always with a stern face as if the whole world owes him.

"Is that so? Baby is really lucky to have such a smart and capable daddy."

Although Le Tong wasn’t fond of the current Ji Rui, seeing Ji Baby’s admiration for him indicated that Ji Rui should be a qualified good father, otherwise, Ji Baby wouldn’t admire and rely on him so much.

The previously excited Ji Baby, upon hearing Le Tong’s words, suddenly pouted and lowered his head in silence.

His change did not escape Le Tong’s keen eyes. She realized she might have touched upon Baby’s sad memory.

"Baby, what’s wrong? Tired?" Le Tong squatted down, pulling the silent and downcast Ji Baby into her arms.

Ji Baby stared straight at her face, shook his head.

He looked at her with such sad eyes, "Sister...," then hesitated.

A formless hand gripped Le Tong’s heart tightly, causing sudden pain and discomfort.

"What’s wrong? Sister will hold you?"

Though it was a bit difficult to carry him, Le Tong gritted her teeth and lifted Ji Baby.

Ji Baby wrapped his arms around her neck, resting his chin on her shoulder, his little face brushing against hers.

"Sister..." The little guy sounded really pitiful.

"Hmm?!" Le Tong felt so stifled she could hardly breathe.

"Baby doesn’t have a mommy..."
