Chapter 457: Come Fast, Go Fast (Five Watches)
Ji Rong was looking forward to Lawyer Fan being able to get Le Tong out of trouble tomorrow, so he was in a good mood and buried himself in a bunch of tedious affairs. FO [Latest Chapter Reading]
When he finished dealing with the urgent matters at hand and raised his head, he found that it was already dark, and he raised his wrist to look at his watch, and couldn't help but be startled.
It turned out that it was 6:30 p.m.
Ji Rong hurriedly cleaned up the documents on the table, locked a few extremely important documents into the safe, pulled his coat and put it on his hand, and walked out of the office quickly with his bag.
It was dark outside, and Le Tong's position was empty.
Only then did Ji Rong realize that his kindness had offended her again.
During this time, she would knock on his door on time after work to remind him that he was going to get off work, and then the two would go to the kindergarten together to pick up the baby from school.
But today, not only did she not mention him, but she also slipped away by herself.
Ji Rong sighed secretly, it seems that it is not a good thing to be too principled.
Under Le Tong's desk, there was a note pressed, and Ji Rong pinched it up to take a look.
"I'm going to pick up the baby."
This note is so simple that it can't be simpler, and it doesn't even have a basic title, but the familiar handwriting on it makes Ji Rong's mood inexplicably better.
Imagining the appearance of her puffing when she wrote this note, Ji Rong couldn't help but shake her head, and couldn't help but laugh out loud in the empty office.
However, when Ji Rong returned home and saw Le Tong and the baby's slippers neatly placed at the entrance, his good mood disappeared in an instant.
"Mr. Ji." Aunt Guan heard the door knock and walked out of the kitchen.
"What about Le Tong and the baby? Haven't come back yet? ”
Ji Ei's face was not very good, and his tone was also very cold, Aunt Guan had not faced such a cold face of Ji Rong for a long time, she was stunned, and hesitated for a moment before timidly reporting truthfully.
"Miss Le called back at five o'clock and said that she would go to Miss Yuan'er's house with the baby tonight to play, and she wouldn't come back for dinner, she didn't tell Mr. Ji?"
Ji Rong's face became even more ugly, and he didn't bother to answer Aunt Guan's questions, 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 breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at the closed study door, Aunt Guan vaguely understood that Mr. Ji might have quarreled with Miss Le.
"Miss Le, when will you and the little master come back, I will cook a supper and wait for you to come back." Aunt Guan tentatively called Le Tong.
"Aunt Guan, the baby is having a lot of fun here, I don't know when I will go back for the time being, you don't have to prepare anything for us, if we haven't gone back at ten o'clock, we should have stayed here in Yuan'er."
Le Tong on the other side of the phone, his tone was very calm, and it sounded like he should be in a very good mood.
It seems that Mr. Ji offended Miss Le.
After Aunt Guan came to this conclusion, she went to the kitchen to make a cup of coffee.
Of course, it's not that she is deliberately lazy, but her coffee making skills are very poor, and Ji Rong has made it clear that she would rather drink the instant melt coffee she brews than the coffee she brews.
Aunt Guan knocked on the door of the study with instant melt coffee, "Mr. Ji, I made you a cup of coffee." ”
"The door is unlocked, come in."
Aunt Guan walked in with her coffee, only to see Ji Rong sitting in front of the computer staring intently at the screen, her fingers tapping back and forth on the keyboard quickly.
Aunt Guan carefully put the coffee on his left hand, but did not withdraw as quickly as usual, but stood by for a while.
"Anything else?" Ji Rong was still focused on his own business, but his mouth opened and he asked expressionlessly.
"Mr. Ji......"
Aunt Guan is not a person who talks much, and she rarely gossips about her master, but her intuition tells her that the probability that Miss Le will not come back tonight is as high as 99%, and Mr. Ji should still be in the dark.
"You go and heat up the meal, Le Tong and the baby come back and say that they may be hungry."
Look, she knew that Mr. Ji must have thought that Miss Le was just going out for a walk.
"I just called Miss Le......"
Without waiting for Aunt Guan to finish speaking, Ji Rong raised his head and looked at her with a little urgency and asked, "Huh?" What did she say? ”
Aunt Guan was a little unbearable, so she had to embellish Le Tong's words.
"Miss Le said that Miss Yuan'er's family is very welcoming, 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 certainly a little lighter than being active.
Ji Rong frowned slightly, "Oh ......", turned his head, and typed into the computer again.
Aunt Guan was still standing, and hesitated again, "Mr. Ji, why don't I call and ask Miss Le to come back?" ”
Ji Rong paused for a moment before waving his hand, "No!" ”
Aunt Guan thought that Ji Rong was crazy and didn't even let her call.
She wanted to help her master, but she didn't dare to disobey her master, after all, Ji Rong was not a good person at first glance, and she didn't dare to offend him casually.
In particular, this matter is also related to Le Tong, who he cares about the most, and she doesn't dare to assert herself even more.
"That'...... I went out first, and Mr. Ji called me if he had any orders, and I waited outside. ”
Ji Rong replied and continued to concentrate on his own business.
The door of the study closed, and Ji Rong's hands that kept flying on the keyboard also stopped.
The whole person slumped in the chair, twisted his eyebrows, pursed his lips, and thought for a while before reaching out and taking the phone and pressing the shortcut key "1".
The phone rang for a long time, so long that Ji Rong thought that the other party was determined not to answer his call.
At the moment when Ji Rong was about to hang up the phone, the phone was connected.
"Hello? Mr. Ji? ”
As soon as Ji Rong heard this title, his heart was inexplicably on fire.
If Le Tong called him like this in normal times, he didn't mind at all, and sometimes, he even felt that when she called him that, there would be more admiration and respect in her eyes.
He doesn't deny that he is just an ordinary man who also needs the adoration and respect of the woman he likes.
But at this time, when he heard a familiar voice calling him Mr. Ji, he felt alienated and indifferent inexplicably.
"Have you had dinner? When are you going to come back? I'm going to pick you up! ”
Ji Rong was angry in his heart, but he didn't forget that Le Tong was also angry with him.
There was no sound in the microphone, probably, I didn't expect the man on the phone to be so subdued.
"Letong?" Ji Rong lowered his voice again and called softly.
"Well, I'll play with the baby for another half an hour, and the driver here will send us back, and you're tired, so you don't have to come to pick us up."
Le Tong's voice softened obviously.
The fire that was bubbling up in Ji Rong's heart was soothed by her soft and glutinous voice.
"Okay, be careful on the road, I'll let Aunt Guan cook a supper and wait for you to come back."
