Chapter 1010 - 1008: Why Can’t I Warm Her Heart?
Nuonuo’s recording progress slowed down, making her anxious, but Da Bao comforted her, "There’s no rush, take your time. After all, most of this album is written for the two little ones, and they’re still young, right? They won’t understand even if they listen."Although Nuonuo felt it wasn’t quite right, after weighing her options, she still couldn’t bear to completely set aside her beloved children, so the album continued to be recorded at a snail’s pace.
The plan to build a production base in L City was finally reported to the board by Little Treasure after he and Da Bao had made several site visits and evaluations.
President Ji had discussed with the brothers beforehand that if this project were approved, one of the two brothers would have to spend a long time stationed in L City to oversee the progress and handle related affairs.
"Dad, if this project gets approved, let me be the one to stay in L City. Brother obviously needs to stay home to take care of Beibei and Guoguo," Little Treasure volunteered.
Da Bao glanced at him thoughtfully, "That Zhu Qianyu..." He had to admit, Da Bao was indeed very fond of this younger brother.
"Brother, I know what is more important," Little Treasure interrupted Da Bao without hesitation.
Da Bao tousled his hair affectionately, "But to us, your feelings seem to matter much more than this."
A project earns limited money.
But the right person stays with you for a lifetime.
Even dad nodded in agreement with his eldest son, "Little Treasure, I think your brother is right. Why not have your brother handle this first? Beibei and Guoguo still have your mom and me to help take care of them."
Nevertheless, Little Treasure disagreed, "Dad, the Ji Family is both mine and my brother’s responsibility. If I pass all the responsibility to my brother just for chasing a girl, that would mean I’m being irresponsible. If Zhu Qianyu knew I was such a person, she wouldn’t even glance at me again!"
Although the young master hadn’t had any substantial understanding or contact with Zhu Qianyu yet, instinctively, he felt that Zhu Qianyu probably looked down on idle wealthy heirs.
"Even brother never pushed away overseas work for the sake of a sister. Naturally, I can’t neglect my work just because I want to chase someone, right?"
Both dad and brother realized that since Little Treasure spoke up to this extent, they couldn’t insist further. The report was submitted, marking Ji Huan as the project leader.
Luckily, even if the project was approved, it would not start until the end of the year or the beginning of the next, so at least half a year away.
On the same afternoon the report was submitted, the young master left work early to go to R University for his class.
After these two classes, the young master’s substitute teaching career came to a perfect end.
Standing on the podium, the first thing the young master said was that these were the last two classes he would be teaching.
The classroom was filled with wailing, "Mr. Ji, are you really not going to teach us anymore?"
The young master had been teaching these kids out of his own selfishness, but now, seeing so many genuine faces in the classroom, he was somewhat moved.
"Sorry, if I keep teaching you, then Teacher Xian, who is my senior, would lose his job!"
He said with a smile, although the words were somewhat difficult to utter.
It turns out that even a hyper-week of interactions could grow some feelings.
Was the affection he hoped for blossomed?
His gaze gently swept over Zhu Qianyu, who had returned to sit in the front row.
She too was looking at him, her eyes clear and bright, without any of the feelings or unusual emotions the young master hoped to see, just calmly meeting his gaze.
The young master sighed inwardly and shifted his gaze back to the computer screen in front of him, "Alright, let’s start the class."
Saying this, he thought to himself that the frequency of his sighing seemed to be increasing.
He finally understood Ji Dabao’s previous troubled feelings.
The person is clearly right in front of you, within reach. Yet, you have to consider her thoughts, suppress and control your emotions and feelings, and slowly proceed at her pace.
In the blink of an eye, two classes were over, and it was time to say goodbye. The young master left everyone with his phone number, Weibo account, and QQ number.
Zhu Qianyu sat quietly in the audience, watching a large group of classmates gather around Ji Huan, but she had no intention of joining the crowd.
Since she was twelve or thirteen, her father led her and her sisters to various high society banquets and parties, during which her father introduced them to different wealthy heirs, clearly hoping that they would soon find suitable matches who could bring great benefits to the Zhu Family.
Therefore, she inherently found pleasing someone like a celebrity disgusting and loathsome.
Fortunately, she had a good sister who often shielded her from unnecessary social engagements, sparing her from much torment.
This Ji Huan, though he exhibited impeccable manners in every aspect, never revealed information about himself as a wealthy scion. But growing up in the same social circles, Zhu Qianyu was very sensitive to the aura of her kind.
After a few days of observation, she was a hundred percent sure that his background was not simple.
Although she was so sensitive, she didn’t expect this complexity to be even greater than she imagined.
Watching coldly as Ji Huan busied himself with enthusiastic classmates, Zhu Qianyu picked up her neatly packed books and left without even bidding goodbye to the handsome substitute teacher on stage.
Although surrounded by a crowd, Ji Huan always paid attention to her movements out of the corner of his eye. Seeing her getting up coldly to leave without even saying goodbye made his heart a little cold.
Even a stone heart kept carefully in hand should warm up, right?
But she was like ice, without even the slightest sign of melting after all this time!
Fortunately, he still had some plans left!
That evening, after finishing class, the young master took the night flight to Beijing to handle affairs. When he returned, all departments at R University had finished their exams.
The young master felt the timing was right and asked Si Jun to call Zhu Qianyu.
Si Jun, who always treated the Ji Family with great respect, followed the young master’s instructions and dialed Zhu Qianyu’s number.
And so, Zhu Qianyu, who had just finished her exams, received a completely unfamiliar call.
"Hello, hello!"
"Hello, may I speak with Miss Zhu Qianyu?"
Si Jun’s voice had two or three similarities to the young man’s, and Zhu Qianyu, being a voice-sensitive person, was momentarily startled, thinking it was Ji Huan. But upon hearing the other party’s polite tone, she realized that this was not Ji Huan, but a man she didn’t know at all.
