Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife

Chapter 1056 - 1054: Ji Huan Is Uncle (Misunderstanding Resolved)

Zhu Qianyu’s depressive state persisted; after Luo Yuan’s birthday, Fang Ziqing had given up trying to persuade her to seek treatment, allowing her despair and absent-mindedness to run its course.She simply spent as much time with her as possible. Having sensed Zhu Qianyu’s off mood twice, Fang Ziqing even specifically applied to stay overnight to be with her.

However, Zhu Qianyu was not as fragile as Fang Ziqing imagined. She merely couldn’t muster any enthusiasm for anything, even speaking felt like a chore.

Convinced that nothing was wrong, Zhu Qianyu continued her usual weekend work at Xinying.

That day, while busy in the recording studio, upon hearing the staff mention Si Han, she perked up her ears to listen in on the gossip about Si Han.

To Zhu Qianyu, her senior sister was undoubtedly a harmless idol, essentially without blemish, and not much gossip to delve into.

Little did she know, what she heard nearly caused her to drop the camera.

The photographer beside her said to his assistant, "Si Han hadn’t been overseas studying these past two years; she actually got married and had children. Apparently, they’re twins — a boy and a girl — stunningly beautiful, and exceptionally smart and adorable."

The scandal was so shocking that not only Zhu Qianyu, but even the photographer’s assistant found it hard to believe.

"Brother Yao, are you sure you’re not joking? Si Han is quite young, isn’t she? Only about twenty-three years old, already married and with kids?"

The photographer, despite being a man, was as proficient in discussing gossip as any woman.

"Why not? You might not know, but shortly after Si Han won Best Actress, she posted ’Congratulations to me, Mrs. Ji!’ on Weibo. At the time, some speculated she had already married Young Master Ji. But our company’s PR managed to smooth it over successfully, and months later, Xinying announced Si Han was going abroad to further her studies. From the timeline, she likely began preparing for motherhood, and now, her twins are over a year old, perfectly in sync."

The photographer’s account of Si Han’s matters correlated with Zhu Qianyu’s observations as a loyal fan; she couldn’t deny the photographer’s analysis was quite compelling.

For most, without the pull of family and children, few would willingly abandon such a promising career at its peak.

"Brother Yao, have you seen Si Han’s twins?"

At this point, Zhu Qianyu was driven purely by curiosity about how the children of someone as skilled and graceful as Si Han might look.

"I haven’t been that fortunate, but quite a few at the company have seen them. She even brought them around recently, and Sister Fang kept thinking about recruiting these two little treasures for the company’s upcoming New Year’s blockbuster."

With the photographer’s words, Zhu Qianyu was stirred by intense curiosity about Si Han’s twins.

By chance, a week later, Zhu Qianyu had no classes on Friday afternoon, so she caught an early ride to Xinying. Arriving at the bus station near Xinying, she called Tian Fang, as was her custom.

Tian Fang said she’d be there soon and then hung up.

A few minutes later, Zhu Qianyu was in Tian Fang’s car.

"Sister Fang, did something good happen?"

As soon as Zhu Qianyu got into the passenger seat, she noticed Tian Fang seemed to be in an exceptionally good mood.

"Oh my, those two little treasures of Si Han’s made me laugh till my stomach hurt, they’re such a delight, so adorable!"

Having no knowledge of the current status between Ji Huan and Zhu Qianyu, Tian Fang habitually considered Zhu Qianyu one of her own and had no intention of concealing the fact that Si Han had two little treasures.

Zhu Qianyu’s eyes widened immediately, "Si Han is really a mother now?"

Tian Fang nodded, giving her a curious glance, "You didn’t know?"

In reality, Tian Fang was unaware that Zhu Qianyu was completely oblivious to Ji Huan being Si Han’s brother, let alone knowing that Ji Huan was the young master of the Ji Family.

"Not at all! Last week I overheard it in the studio and thought they were talking nonsense. Turns out, it’s all true?"

Tian Fang nodded again, "Of course it’s true, they’re over a year old, boy-girl twins, so smart, like their daddy."

This time, Zhu Qianyu was puzzled, "I think Si Han’s really smart, too, proficient in acting, singing, and playing the violin."

In Zhu Qianyu’s devout fan eyes, Si Han was a queen of all trades.

"Their daddy is a genius! Being smart is not quite the same concept!"

Tian Fang reflected on the Ji Family, where anyone plucked from there would envy others; they were all exceptionally talented!

Speaking of geniuses, Zhu Qianyu did know one, and that person seemed to also bear the surname Ji?

Zhu Qianyu was startled by her own vivid imagination!

Then she recalled. At the time when Si Han won Best Actress, she declared her love to Mr. Ji on the spot, and later this Mr. Ji disclosed to the media that Si Han was an adopted daughter of the Ji Family.

Zhu Qianyu tried hard to remember the scene of her confessing love and proposing, which she had watched no less than ten times. From her impression, the appearance of that Mr. Ji indeed bore resemblance to Ji Huan.

Could it be that Ji Huan really is Si Han’s "Mr. Ji"?

After all, there were just too many coincidental attributes between Si Han’s Mr. Ji and Ji Huan. Both have a pair of year-old twins, both surnamed Ji, both geniuses.

Zhu Qianyu was terribly disturbed by this possibility. Although she had never truly intervened in Ji Huan’s marital affections, thinking of his wife as Si Han left her uncertain how to proceed.

"Xiao Yu, Si Han and the two little treasures are still playing at my place; do you want to see them?"

At this moment, Zhu Qianyu was terribly upset by her own analysis, failing to pay genuine attention to Tian Fang’s words and simply responded carelessly.

Hence, when Tian Fang’s car stopped in front of the office’s first row, Zhu Qianyu wanted to refuse, but it was already too late.

Because outside the car window, two incredibly adorable faces were pressed against the glass, waving frantically at her with smiles that were too cute.

When Zhu Qianyu finally got out of the car, the pair of little treasures that Si Han and a middle-aged woman, seemingly a nanny, were holding, reached out their arms desperately at her, shouting in unison, "Auntie, Auntie, hold Beibei/Guoguo!"

If she remembered correctly, these two little treasures were precisely the pair she had seen Ji Huan taking out at the park!

Zhu Qianyu’s worries were temporarily forgotten due to the pair of little treasures; but why did these little ones call her "Auntie"?

Si Han, a bit awkwardly, gave her a smile, "Xiao Yu, sorry, the little ones saw your photo on Little Treasure’s phone!"

Zhu Qianyu was further confused, "Little Treasure? Why would he have my photo?"

Si Han hastily explained, "Little Treasure is Ji Huan, my brother!"
