Chapter 56: Chapter 56 Little Demon King is a Coward (Revised)

Finally made it to Friday, Yang Sheng and Ji Rui’s meticulously planned matter just happened to make progress, so Yang Sheng, in a good mood, pondered where to have fun the next day.

Yang Sheng, sprawled unceremoniously on the sofa in President Ji’s office, asked the man still buried in piles of documents, "Rui, any plans for tomorrow?"

"Spending time with Baobao!"

Every Saturday is set in stone for Ji Rui to spend time with Ji Baby, a routine that hasn’t changed all these years.

"Where are you planning to go? Can you take me along? I haven’t seen Baobao in a while too."

It wasn’t uncommon for Yang Sheng to crash father-son gatherings like this in the past.

Luckily, Ji Rui never refused Yang Sheng’s involvement because Yang Sheng somehow had better ways to make Ji Baby obedient.

Although this realization made him slightly uncomfortable, considering how rarely his beloved son connected with others so harmoniously, Ji Rui suppressed his jealousy, letting Yang Sheng take his beloved son around to have fun.

Compared to him, Yang Sheng and Baobao were more like a father and son pair!

"Can you cook?"

Ji Rui, reminded of the recent fussiness of Baobao, felt a headache coming on, so he looked at Yang Sheng expectantly, hoping Chef Yang could successfully divert Baobao’s attention from the old grandma.

"Nope!" Yang Sheng replied straightforwardly, "Why? Does one need to cook to get an audience with Young Master Ji?"

As for this matter, Ji Rui was at a loss for words and simply didn’t feel like saying anything at all.

On Yang Sheng’s suggestion, the three decided to go to the amusement park for their Saturday itinerary.

At 10 a.m., Yang Sheng, who had arrived early, saw President Ji’s flashy car driving into the parking lot.

As soon as the car door opened, the little figure that emerged leapt toward Yang Sheng with outstretched arms, hugging his waist and looking up eagerly at Yang Sheng.

"Uncle Sheng, Baobao missed you so much!"

Yang Sheng bent down and picked him up, giving him a big smooch on his chubby cheek, "Ah, Little Demon King, Uncle Sheng missed you too!"

Almost everyone who knew Ji Baby was aware of Ji Baby’s devilish side, but the only person who dared say it out loud was Yang Sheng.

"Uncle Sheng is a baddie, Baobao is not a Little Demon King."

Ji Baby pulled at Yang Sheng’s face with his chubby hand, pouting in defiance, "Baobao is a Little Prince that everyone loves and smiles at!"

Yang Sheng carried him as they walked alongside Ji Rui towards the entrance, "A Little Demon King is a Little Demon King, where’s this Little Prince?"

"Baobao is a Little Prince! Uncle Sheng is the big bad!"

After pulling on his face, Ji Baby switched to tugging his hair.

Ji Rui watched the noisy twosome humorously, suddenly realizing why he was helpless with both of them, because these two males, one big and one small, had surprisingly similar temperaments.

Despite appearances, these two seemed to be constantly at odds, but when it came to playing, they were in perfect harmony.

As the three passed by the roller coaster ticket booth, "Baobao, shall we ride this one?"

In the pampered Ji Family, Ji Baby obviously hadn’t tried such a thrilling thing, so he looked up at the roaring vehicle speeding past on the track overhead, and listening to the surrounding screams, a hint of fear flashed in Ji Baby’s eyes.

Yang Sheng tapped Ji Baby’s nose, "Little Demon King turns out to be a scaredy-cat!"

Ji Baby straightened his back, raised his head, and snorted with his nostrils facing the sky, "Uncle Sheng is the scaredy-cat, I’m not afraid!"

Thus, Yang Sheng and Ji Baby walked away proudly to buy tickets, while Ji Rui, who never played these, stayed seated waiting for the two.

Actually, he had wanted to stop Yang Sheng a moment ago but thought again; just because he couldn’t overcome it doesn’t mean Ji Baby can’t.

The roller coaster roared over his head, the noise as if it was rolling over his brain, so Ji Rui closed his eyes, his head felt like it was about to crack open.

"Mom! Mom!..."

The heart-wrenching cries seemed to overlap with the blood splattered like blooming flowers...

Ji Rui kept his eyes closed, cradling his head as the nightmares that’s haunted him for years replay several times in his mind.

"Young Master... Young Master, you... are you alright?"

Beside him, a bodyguard’s anxious inquiry sounded.

Ji Rui clenched his fist and hit his own head a few times, then in a cold voice, spoke to the bodyguard behind him.

"Give me the medicine."

The bodyguard hurriedly took medicine and water from his belongings and handed them to him.

Ji Rui opened his eyes, and in no time, his face turned pale, his eyes bloodshot.

With a slightly trembling hand, he took the medicine and water, popped the pill into his mouth, took a sip of water, tilted his head back, and swallowed the pill.

After taking the medicine, Ji Rui sat back in his seat with his eyes closed.

The medication worked quickly, and a few minutes later, Ji Rui’s headache subsided, and peace surrounded him as if everyone and everything around had ceased to exist.

"Daddy! Daddy!"

Ji Baby’s energetic voice yanked Ji Rui out of his world of void meditation. Ji Rui opened his eyes but hadn’t had a chance to see clearly before Ji Baby pounced forward like a koala on his lap, clutching his neck, chatting non-stop about the thrilling experience he just had.

"Baobao, was it fun?"

Ji Rui gently sweeps his big hand over the baby’s back, his voice had returned to normal.

Ji Baby rubbed his face against his, eyes sparkling, cheeks full of excitement, a layer of sweat on his nose tip, "So fun! Daddy, don’t you want to try? Baobao will accompany you!"

Ji Rui patted his little butt, "Daddy won’t play!"

"Haha, Daddy is a scaredy-cat!"

Ji Rui rarely didn’t retort, and it was then that Yang Sheng noticed Ji Rui’s abnormal condition.

"Rui, why does your face look so bad? Why are your eyes so red? Are you unwell?"

Yang Sheng asked with concern, reaching out to peel Ji Baby off Ji Rui to sit him on his own lap.

Ji Rui shook his head, "Nothing, just a bit of a headache."

Yang Sheng frowned, "You’ve been pushing too hard; how about slowing it down for a while? You should rest well these few days."

Ji Rui pinched his painful temples, "No, there’s not much time left, any delay and your half-year efforts will go down the drain!"

Yang Sheng took a closer look at his face again, "Let’s put this aside for now; you look really unwell. Let’s head back, we can come back to play another day!"

But Ji Rui stood up, "I’m fine, come on, we’re here only once, let Baobao have fun."

Yang Sheng looked at him worriedly and handed Ji Baby to a bodyguard, "Baobao, let uncle take you to buy ice cream."

When the bodyguard took Baobao away, Yang Sheng pulled Ji Rui to sit down, "Tell me, what happened?"

Ji Rui patted his shoulder, "Really nothing, just a headache acting up, I took medicine earlier, and it’ll be fine soon."

He said, turning to glance at Ji Baby, who was getting further away but still chattering, "Baobao is very happy, take good care of him!"
