Chapter 1027 - 1025: If You Like It, I’ll Make It for You
The server brought over the lemon water, and after consulting Zhu Qianyu, the young master ordered a juice for her and a coffee for himself, along with two snacks.Once the server left, Zhu Qianyu took a sip of water, glanced at him casually, and asked, "Changed your hairstyle?"
The young master raised his hand to lightly tousle his bangs, his bright eyes fixed on her, "Does it look good?"
Zhu Qianyu was slightly dazzled by the fiery hint of amusement in his eyes, replied with a soft "Hmm" and quickly lowered her gaze to avoid his intense stare.
The young master didn’t pursue the subject further, shifting his concern to her internship.
"Sister Fang mentioned the film crew wants to finish by July; they’ve been rushing the progress. How about you, can you handle it?"
In the first few days, the young master called her every day. Later, he stopped calling and didn’t know she’d been finishing work on time for several days.
"These days I’ve been leaving on time; it’s quite relaxed." Talking about her internship, Zhu Qianyu finally felt a bit more at ease.
"I went on a business trip to L City two days ago and just returned yesterday morning."
Although Zhu Qianyu didn’t mention his absence over the past few days, Ji Huan didn’t intend to hide it. Of course, there’s no need to say that he deliberately refrained from calling her.
Zhu Qianyu hadn’t realized his absence was due to a business trip.
Nor did she expect his destination to be L City.
"L City?" Zhu Qianyu asked instinctively.
"Yeah, I’ve been frequently on business trips to L City recently and found the environment over there quite nice, the climate seems similar to R City."
Ji Huan spoke of these things not to flatter Zhu Qianyu, who was from L City, but because as an investor, the environment and climate of the investment location are crucial factors in decision-making.
This non-private topic made Zhu Qianyu relax.
"Yes, the climate and environment over there are similar to here, so when I came over to study, there was no adaptation period; I got used to it right away."
Discussing these matters, Zhu Qianyu was quite articulate.
When Ji Huan mentioned he frequently needed to go to L City for business, she introduced many attractions and foods of L City.
"You and your sister have such a good relationship!"
Upon hearing her mentioning her sister countless times, Ji Huan couldn’t help but comment.
"Yeah, my sister and I are practically two people relying on each other, so of course, we have a great relationship!" Zhu Qianyu didn’t realize that things she didn’t usually share with others were coming out.
Her words, however, caused Ji Huan to misunderstand.
"Sorry, if I made you recall something sad..."
Ji Huan apologized, and Zhu Qianyu was taken aback, realizing the misunderstanding after a moment.
"Oh, you misunderstood, my parents are both alive, it’s just... sigh, not talking about them is better, it’s tiresome!"
Zhu Qianyu didn’t notice that her tone and way of speaking with Ji Huan were becoming more casual, like talking to a friend.
In her heart, she was still cautious around Ji Huan. After all, she was well aware that this man had a family and their relationship could only be that of friends.
With Ji Huan being silent these days, she even thought it was best for them not to be friends at all.
But after pondering, she felt she was being too heartless, using someone and then tossing them aside casually.
"By the way, didn’t you say you and the two babies really like my mille-feuille cake? I made a two-pound one today, for you!"
Zhu Qianyu picked up the box from the sofa and placed it in front of Ji Huan.
She had specifically made it this morning at a DIY cake shop on Fenghe Road and brought it with her.
Ji Huan picked up the box with a face full of surprise and excitement, sniffing hard, "Mmm... smells so good, I wish I could eat it now!"
Zhu Qianyu couldn’t help but laugh at his childish demeanor, "You probably always have cake fights with the babies, don’t you?"
Zhu Qianyu tried to recall the appearance of the two little kids; in her vague memory, the two little treasures should somewhat resemble Ji Huan, with big, bright eyes, and exquisitely sculpted features.
Imagining Ji Huan fighting for food with the children seemed surprisingly harmonious.
"Haha, how did you know? My mommy often points at me and the two little treasures, saying we’re actually three little brats."
Before clients, Ji Huan usually has a serious demeanor.
But toward Zhu Qianyu, he was willing to reveal the side of him interacting with family.
This was a form of trust, but also a desire.
Hoping that the other party would also show him their truest self.
"Imagined it..."
In Zhu Qianyu’s mind, not only did she imagine the harmonious scene of him and the two children but also the beautiful image of him with his significant other.
"Thank you, if possible, I really want to eat it all myself!"
The young master, having finally received another gift from Zhu Qianyu, wished he could indulge in it all alone.
Zhu Qianyu only took his words as a joke, "If you like it, I can make it for you again next time."
Between friends, occasionally gifting a homemade cake shouldn’t be over the top, right?
So Zhu Qianyu thought.
"Really? Then I won’t hold back; if I want it next time, I’ll ask you to make it for me!" The young master was so happy his eyes turned to slits.
Zhu Qianyu nodded, "Sure, as long as I’m free."
Most of the crew members work seven days a week because when they are busy, they might be busy for a couple of months. But once free, they can take a long break. However, as an intern, Zhu Qianyu gets one day off per week.
"Hmm, I think you usually rest on Sundays, right?"
This was something Tian Fang specifically mentioned to Ji Huan.
"Yes, I have the same working hours as Sister Fang and the others. Actually, I don’t have much to do on Sundays, and can totally follow the crew’s schedule, but Sister Fang insists I take a rest."
Zhu Qianyu truly didn’t mind working on Sundays because she learned invaluable things from being around Director Kong and Director Fei, things impossible to pick up from books.
"You should listen to Sister Fang; you’re human, not a machine. You need to relax when it’s time to relax."
Ji Huan himself always balanced work and leisure. Even though he’d started helping out in the Ji Family and Yang Family early on, he never missed out on the young man’s fun.
It’s just over the past year, most of his attention has been attracted to the pair of little treasures, gradually reducing his outings.
Zhu Qianyu slowly sipped on her juice before finally saying, "I don’t have many acquaintances here anyway, most classmates went home, only Fang Ziqing remains, but she’s busy watching over her family’s shop, doesn’t have time to hang out."
For some reason, the young master suddenly recalled that boy she skated with in the park.
"Initially, I thought Luo Yuan was your good friend."
Initially, the young master believed Luo Yuan was Zhu Qianyu’s boyfriend, but later learned she didn’t have a boyfriend, then assumed that the boy must be a good friend.
