Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife

Chapter 1059 - 1057: I Won’t Let You Leave Again

Little Treasure went to L City as a pioneer, thus, work was even busier than when he was acting as a proxy leader before.The difference is, the living facilities in L City are much better than in that remote small town.

Because he would have to live in L City for at least half a year, Little Treasure decided to rent an apartment there. On the day he assumed his new role, right after leaving the airport, he went straight to the apartment he rented.

This was his first time setting foot in this apartment. When he had a friend rent it previously, he was entirely captivated by the photo sent over, taken from the balcony overlooking L City, and didn’t bother with other details, simply asked the friend to rent it.

As he held the keys to open the door, he couldn’t help but feel curious about his residence for the coming months.

The friend had laughed on WeChat, saying, "Who knew Mr. Huan is a romantic, fallen for a new home just because of one tiny detail."

Little Treasure thought the friend wasn’t wrong. It was like how he fell for Zhu Qianyu; it seemed as if just catching a glimpse of her unique side in the park made him uncontrollably fond of her.

Because of love, everything else – her little affectations, her slow-paced personality, her contradictions – became unimportant to him, even turning into adorable charms.

The door opened, and the simple, bright layout made Little Treasure instantly fall in love with this new home.

This two-bedroom apartment, in a sense, was Little Treasure’s first solo dwelling.

The friend who helped rent the place was Jiang Wenjie, a fellow alumni from B University. Though they were in different departments and years, they had good ties since both were in the basketball varsity team.

"How is it? Satisfactory, right?"

Jiang Wenjie followed him inside, dragging the luggage, while Little Treasure was checking something in the kitchen.

"Satisfied, very satisfied." His cheerful voice came from the kitchen.

Jiang Wenjie left the suitcase in the corner of the living room and followed him out of curiosity.

"Mr. Huan, please don’t tell me that besides studying well and playing basketball brilliantly, you’re also a top-notch chef!"

Other than this possibility, Jiang Wenjie couldn’t think of any reason a young man in his twenties would inspect the kitchen upon entering.

Little Treasure was very pleased with the clean, tidy kitchen equipped with necessary utensils, turned to nod at Jiang Wenjie, "Indeed, my level rivals that of a star chef."

Young Master didn’t have the slightest hint of modesty, yet if the Ji Family’s young master became humble, others would definitely think he was ill.

"Then for tonight’s dinner..." Jiang Wenjie, whose eyes were twinkling, clearly a foodie, sounded hopeful.

"Go out to eat. I’m not your mom!" Young Master coldly interrupted Jiang Wenjie’s fanciful expectations.

And so, young master Ji Huan officially set up camp in L City and plunged into busy, hard work.

Of course, during this early-to-rise-and-rest-late period, it wasn’t that he didn’t think about Zhu Qianyu. On the contrary, Zhu Qianyu became almost a daily lesson he revised in his mind.

No matter how busy he was, every night when he returned to the apartment and saw nothing but the cold lights and his own tall shadow, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of solitude.

He had lived for twenty-one years and never felt this lonely during this period.

Especially when he was on the terrace, tea in hand, looking at L City’s myriad of lights, Zhu Qianyu’s smiling face became exceptionally clear.

His life had always been unbelievably smooth.

And Zhu Qianyu was undoubtedly the first hurdle in his life.

He never expected this hurdle to disappear on its own.

This period of ignoring Zhu Qianyu wasn’t giving up; he was just waiting for an appropriate time to conquer and overcome it.

Therefore, when hearing the doorbell that night, expecting Jiang Wenjie, the moment he opened the door and saw the person outside, he could only think he was dreaming.

Ji Huan stood still at the scene for several seconds until the girl outside cautiously asked him, "Ji Huan...can I come in?"

Ji Huan looked at her with his dark eyes, silent, showing no intention of stepping aside to let her in.

Hurt slowly surfaced on the girl’s face, her melancholic eyes lingering on him for a few seconds; then, the corners of her eyes reddened, her long lashes blinked a few times before silently drooping down.

"Sorry for bothering you!" she trembled out as she spoke, turning as if to leave.

Ji Huan quickly reached out, grabbed her arm, "Come back!"

The words, like clenched teeth squeezing out "come back," weren’t loud but shook the girl’s heart at its low volume.

Ji Huan had always spoken to her gently except for that night when leaving decisively, with a tone filled with decisiveness and coldness.

His tone now was similar to that night’s departure, cold enough to plunge the already uneasy heart into an icy abyss.

"Ji Huan...I..." the startled girl with no clarity was blinking frightened eyes, raising her face to look at the man pulling her in panic.

"Zhu Qianyu, shut up!"

Ji Huan, wearing a cold face, interrupted Zhu Qianyu’s attempts to explain, pulling her with force and causing her to stumble forward into the apartment.

The door slammed shut behind her.

Zhu Qianyu hadn’t sorted through the situation before being forcibly dragged by the man into the living room, where he strongly pushed her down onto the sofa without any gentleness.

Zhu Qianyu was forced to sit on the sofa, looking up at him.

Ji Huan didn’t sit, only stood straight in front of her, arms crossed, glaring at her coldly from above.

"Speak! What’s the matter?"

Ji Huan’s heart and thoughts at this point were entirely contradictory to his ruthless exterior.

At this moment, he was both shocked and thrilled, yet he seemed to be habitually lifted up to clouds by the girl a second earlier, and pushed down to earth a second later, so this time he dared not express his joy and expectations.

Seeing Zhu Qianyu at the door for those few seconds made him seem to think the girl in front was merely an illusion.

Only when his outreached hand distinctly sensed her slight warmth could he confirm it wasn’t a dream but indeed reality!

Zhu Qianyu stared into his eyes directly, the panic in them had subsided considerably; clearer, purer eyes took place of it, and these eyes were most capable of leading Ji Huan to lose himself.

She moistened her lips, just about to speak, but then heard Ji Huan say.

"Before speaking, think it through well, now that you’ve entered this house, I won’t let you leave again!"
