Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 107 You Are My Little Apple

The baby pouted, blinked twice, stopped making noise, turned around, and took a big gulp of water, then "poof" — sprayed it hard onto the mirror in front of the sink.

Ji Rui ignored his son’s mischievous behavior, indulgently reached out to rub his head, stood by his side, took a toothbrush, and squeezed some toothpaste onto it.

Father and son began brushing their teeth in front of the mirror. At first, their movements weren’t in sync. After a few brushes, the baby started making frantic eye signals at Ji Rui in the mirror, so Ji Rui responded by blinking at him. Slowly, their brushing rhythm became synchronized.

Seeing Ji Rui respond to him, Ji Baby got playful, sometimes brushing fast, sometimes slow. Ji Rui seemed to be in an exceptionally good mood today, even matching the baby’s changing pace.

Finally, in a show of defiance, Ji Baby took a mouthful of water and sprayed bubbles all over the mirror with a "poof."

Ji Rui looked at the baby’s eyes full of laughter, hesitated slightly, but still mimicked his baby son’s actions, spraying bubbly water onto the mirror.

"Hahaha..."

Ji Baby laughed heartily, threw the cup into the sink, wrapped his arms around Ji Rui’s waist, and leaned his face against Ji Rui’s, playfully whining, "Daddy... help baby wash his face..."

Since his birth, there were at least five or six people revolving around the baby, attending to his daily needs. As his daddy, Ji Rui didn’t spend much time taking care of him.

Initially, Ji Rui didn’t have much affection for the baby, so even when the baby clung to him, he only responded reluctantly.

Recently, Ji Rui found himself growing softer towards his baby son. As long as the baby snuggled into his embrace and acted cute like this, Ji Rui couldn’t bring himself to refuse his requests.

Moreover, the baby’s requests were mostly minor.

Except, he always clamored to invite Grandma back to be a chef.

And, always clamored for Mommy!

Ji Rui took a towel, turned on the warm water, soaked the towel until soft, wrung it out, then carefully wiped the baby’s forehead down to his chin and neck. novelbuddy-cσ๓

"Daddy..."

The baby, like a little dog being scratched on the belly, closed his eyes in contentment, murmuring.

"Hmm?!"

Ji Rui lifted the baby’s head, helping him clean his ears and neck.

"Grandpa said he’s taking baby to Disney. Is it true?"

Ji Rui’s heart skipped a beat, secretly glad he foresaw this and brought his baby son back early. If he’s right, the old man probably wants to take the baby to J Country’s Disney park and, incidentally, solve matters concerning Ji Wen and Ji Wu.

"Does baby really want to go?"

Ji Rui didn’t expose the old man’s plot; the baby is still young, and he hoped the baby’s world would retain the innocence and simplicity proper for his age.

The feuds among the Ji Family’s adults—he wished for his baby son never to be involved in them for his whole life.

"Mm..."

Ji Baby looked up, his face full of eager anticipation.

"Grandpa is too old to accompany baby, but when daddy and Uncle Sheng have a holiday, we’ll both take baby to play, okay?"

Every time the baby played with Yang Sheng, he had so much fun. Although this sometimes made Ji Rui feel like Yang Sheng was threatening his father’s status, Ji Rui was willing to overlook his discomfort if it meant making the baby happy.

The expression in the baby’s eyes immediately sparked to life, "Really? Daddy, will you really go with Uncle Sheng and baby?"

Ji Baby recently felt incredibly happy!

First, daddy accompanied him on a field trip, excelling in every parent-child game!

In physical challenges, daddy always came first!

In mental challenges, daddy’s mind always worked faster than the others, keeping his scores far ahead!

Then, daddy took him to the amusement park to play, letting him ride the thrilling roller coaster and the towering Ferris wheel.

Next, daddy took baby on a road trip, visiting lots of places, seeing many strange animals, eating plenty of delicious food, and playing many fun and exciting games...

"Mm, of course, it’s true!"

After finishing washing the baby’s face, Ji Rui washed his own. Then he scooped the baby up and carried him out of the bathroom.

"What clothes does baby want to wear to school today?"

Ji Rui carried Ji Baby straight into the closet. Ji Baby, being hoisted, didn’t seem uncomfortable at all. He wiggled his little legs, waved his little hands, and hummed a little song, "You are my little apple, I’ll never get tired of loving you..."

Even Ji Rui, who wasn’t musically inclined, had heard this popular song. Feeling cheerful, he curled his lips, giving the baby’s little butt a pat and asked.

"Baby, where did you learn this song?"

"At kindergarten! And there’s a dance too. Daddy, do you want to see it?"

Ji Rui’s eyes lit up with interest, "I do!"

The baby struggled free from Ji Rui’s grasp, stood solemnly in front of Ji Rui, hummed "...little rosy cheeks warm my heart" while twisting his hips to the rhythm. Ji Rui’s smiling lips curved even more.

Even though it’s an auntie-level square dance song, coming from the baby’s mouth, it was filled with humor and energy. Watching his cheerful wiggling hips, Ji Rui felt refreshed and delighted.

The baby sang and danced enthusiastically, then looked up at Ji Rui slightly out of breath.

"Daddy... did baby dance well?"

Ji Rui immediately applauded, leaned down to give him a gentle kiss on the lips, "Excellent!"

The baby beamed at him, "Daddy, can you give baby a thumbs-up?"

Ji Rui felt a little puzzled, give a thumbs-up? What’s this about?

Seeing Ji Rui’s confusion, the baby explained, "If a kid gets a daddy-mommy thumbs-up every morning, the teacher will reward a big red flower! Baby never got one..."

As he spoke, the baby blinked twice and lowered his head slightly dejected.

Ji Rui’s heart was suddenly gripped tight. The baby was different from other kids; other kids saw their daddy and mommy daily, but baby only possibly saw daddy early on Sundays. As for mommy, to baby, she’s just a name and an abstract presence.

Ji Rui extended his thumb to the baby, softly asking, "Baby, tell daddy, how to award it?"

The baby immediately looked up, his face bright with surprise, then leaned forward a bit, pointing his chubby little finger at his forehead.

"Daddy, award it here!"

Ji Rui carefully pressed his thumb onto the baby’s forehead. As his slightly warm fingertip touched the baby’s soft skin, the baby grinned, beaming with utter happiness!
