Chapter 139: Chapter 139: Sister, you lied!
After applying the hemostatic medicine, Le Tong bandaged the cat’s foot wound with gauze and asked Luo Yuanyuan for two small boards to secure the big cat’s broken leg, wrapping the boards with bandages.
"OK!"
"Hmm, thank you, Sister!"
Luo Yuanyuan thought to herself, I’ve made such a big sacrifice, interrupting my intimate moment, and this little brat doesn’t have a bit of gratitude.
Le Tong smiled and tried to pat his head but was swatted away by him.
Luo Yuanyuan refocused her attention on Le Tong, "Hmm, not bad, but I must admit, my brother knows your style better, the purple dress perfectly amplified your strengths, not only men but even women would be amazed seeing you in it."
Le Tong was taken aback, not because she disliked Ji Baby, but she didn’t want to have too much connection with this little guy, especially since his daddy was her difficult and temperamental boss.
Le Tong let out a long breath, picked up the big cat and handed it to Ji Baby, "So, Sister wasn’t lying to you, was she?"
After all, many women at the party change dresses more than once, so Luo Yifan shouldn’t suspect anything or question too much.
Luo Yuanyuan cast her a sideways glance and retorted, "What do you think?"
Le Tong’s simple words surprisingly quieted Luo Yuanyuan and Ji Baby.
In her heart, she didn’t really want to return to the banquet hall, but as the birthday girl’s companion, it seemed unreasonable to slip away before the dinner even started.
The dress was somewhat intricate, taking her some time to put it on, she finally came out, finding only Luo Yuanyuan in the living room.
Luo Yuanyuan was taken aback, feeling frustrated, since when did she, known for her sharp tongue, start getting shut down by a five-year-old brat again and again!
Luo Yuanyuan glared at her with disdain, "You do know wealthy kids often have trackers on them, right?!"
Ji Baby lovingly held the big cat and gave Luo Yuanyuan a sidelong glance, "Why should I thank you, this cat is from your family."
Ji Baby cooperatively let her adjust his clothes, with his long eyelashes hanging down, watching Le Tong help him attentively.
This time, Le Tong was outright lying. Though she didn’t want to deceive a child, she felt she had no choice.
"That driver of Mr. Ji’s..."
Luo Yuanyuan gave her a curious look, "He was picked up by someone!"
Bad sister, so be it, after all, she wasn’t really a good person!
"Where’s Baby?" Le Tong looked around, sudden anxiety and loss sweeping over her like a tide.
Le Tong took it as her friend’s flattering words and didn’t respond, she lowered her head to straighten the hem.
"Tongtong, I’ll find a gown for you to change into."
Le Tong suddenly realized this!
"How did he find us here?"
Luo Yuanyuan nodded, "Yes, that’s the one."
"Okay, help me pick another gown then!"
"Is it necessary?"
Luo Yuanyuan shifted her gaze from Ji Baby to Le Tong, and after noticing the blood stains and creases on her party dress, couldn’t help but frown.
Le Tong sighed slightly, as someone who always fulfilled her promises with the utmost effort, slipping away in the middle of an engagement was unlikely to happen for her.
Hearing this answer made Le Tong a little tense, "The driver Lee?"
She stuffed the light blue tulle dress into Le Tong’s arms, Le Tong glanced at Ji Baby, still silently protesting, and sighed inwardly, stood up, holding the dress, walked into the dressing room.
Luo Yuanyuan shook her head, "Rest assured, Young Master Ji is quite sharp, he only mentioned finding the kitten for the cat and then got lost, and I brought him back here... didn’t say a word about you!"
Luo Yuanyuan quickly returned, "Tongtong, go try this dress."
"Sister, what’s your phone number?"
Could it be that Ji Rui left him alone to play in the garden?
Le Tong smiled and patted his head, about to say something, when Luo Yuanyuan shouted from the side, "Hey, hey, why only thank her, what about me?!"
"Sister is a liar! Sister is a bad sister!"
On one hand, Le Tong feared Driver Li might say something inappropriate, on the other hand, she was curious how he found his way here after Luo Yuanyuan led them through several turns to this room.
Ji Baby took the big cat and gently stroked its long fur.
Le Tong didn’t anticipate his mood would change so quickly and looked at her swatted hand with some helplessness and smiled wryly.
"Sorry, I don’t have a phone."
When Le Tong first saw Ji Baby, he was carrying the kitten around the corner alone, it was only now that she remembered when Ji Rui entered the banquet hall, he was alone, with neither companions nor signs of Ji Baby, where did Ji Baby come from?
Luo Yuanyuan turned and left. Le Tong then approached Ji Baby, adjusted the down jacket over his white sweater, zipped it up, and nodded with satisfaction, "Hmm, looks good, can’t see the dirt on the clothes."
She was still worried Ji Baby might say something, as some words, after being passed through several mouths, could be far more damaging than the original ones.
"Ah? By whom?"
Luo Yuanyuan looked at Le Tong like she was a weirdo and muttered, "Normally, you are quite smart, why are you so clueless today?"
"Did Driver Li ask Baby anything?"
She raised her eyebrows intending to retort to Ji Baby, but heard Le Tong say, "Alright, you two stop quarrelling!"
"Oh, I see! Honestly, I didn’t know, I’m not rich, how would I know these things?!" Le Tong shrugged.
Ji Rui is a man with a strong paranoid tendency; if he knew she privately met his son and gave her contact number, who knows what he’d think or disparage her!
Ji Baby pouted, cuddling the big and small cats on the carpet, with his eyes half-lidded, petting the cat’s back, altogether ignoring Le Tong.
"You’re lying! How could you not have a phone?" Ji Baby suddenly raised his voice, staring fiercely at Le Tong.
She tugged again on the dress she wore, "So, does this dress look good?"
Le Tong stared at him for a good while, forcing herself to harden her heart not to coax him.
Le Tong looked down and realized her dress was not only stained with blood but also had several tears in the hem from her carelessness.
Le Tong shook her head with a bitter smile, Ji Baby wasn’t astutely avoiding mentioning her; he was still angry with her, so he didn’t want to bring her up!
