Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife

Chapter 1060 - 1058: Ji Huan’s Absence-Induced Craving Disorder

"Think carefully before you speak, once you enter this room, I won’t let you leave!"Even though he knows this is reality, he still has to guard himself; she might repeat her tricks, one moment lifting him to heaven, the next pushing him to hell.

"I..."

Before Zhu Qianyu came here, she was fully prepared mentally, but facing him, she began drafting her words since boarding the plane, yet now they were stuck like screws in her throat, unable to be spoken.

Ji Huan stared at her intently, not yet knowing what she specifically sought him out for.

Was it to apologize and restart with him? Or was it, like before, to apologize only to return to the same vicious cycle?

If it’s truly the latter, he might harden his heart and drive her out.

Otherwise, he can’t guarantee his sanity won’t break and lead to some unpardonable violent actions towards her.

Zhu Qianyu gazed up, seriously looking at Ji Huan who she hadn’t seen for over a month, her heart sour and aching.

Her gaze slowly passed over his handsome brows and eyes, his attractive yet still sexy features, and then she noticed, compared to their last meeting, he’s gotten thinner!

"Ji Huan..."

"Speak!" Ji Huan frowned slightly, his rationality slowly eroding under her silent tug-of-war.

Zhu Qianyu licked her lips again; his cold face and cold words no longer scared her.

Indeed, hearing his cold words is better than hearing nothing or being unable to touch him.

"You’ve... gotten thinner!"

By the time Zhu Qianyu finally uttered the words, surprisingly, it was like the commonplace greeting among acquaintances, "The weather is nice today!", or some similar pleasantry.

Ji Huan paused for a moment, instinctively touched his face, his dark eyes glancing at her, "Thinner?"

Zhu Qianyu nodded, "Yes!"

Though it was a brief polite exchange, the originally tense atmosphere strangely warmed a bit.

Ji Huan sighed almost inaudibly, maintaining his cold demeanor through rationality, but he was starting to crack.

Undoubtedly, this Zhu Qianyu is definitely Ji Huan’s kryptonite!

"So, what’s up?"

Although his tone softened a bit, his face remained composed, and his body stood straight, exuding pressure in front of Zhu Qianyu.

Zhu Qianyu has been around Ji Huan long enough to understand his temperament.

Knowing that he used to be gentle and pamper her, definitely before, now he’s too upset to bother with her.

That is to say, he is currently having a cold war with her.

Of course, all this was well deserved by her.

If she had made things clear earlier, this misunderstanding wouldn’t have lasted for months.

Then, neither she nor he would have had to go through such a convoluted path.

Naturally, he wouldn’t have been hurt so deeply by her.

As for the torment she’s experienced, it’s best left unmentioned, as it’s entirely her fault!

After a bout of self-blame and reflection, Zhu Qianyu softened her voice and said, "Ji Huan, can we sit down and talk?"

Ji Huan was once again taken aback, for a moment, he thought he heard wrong, this girl Zhu Qianyu has never used such a coquettish tone to speak to him!

As he stood stunned and puzzled, Zhu Qianyu raised her hand to touch the back of her neck and pouted slightly, saying, "You’re so tall... my neck is sore..."

Ji Huan then snapped back to reality; seems like this girl is really trying to act cute with him!

Is the sky about to rain red today?

Ji Huan quickly glanced at the night sky outside, which looked just as usual, then turned back to stare at her; he mustered great effort to coldly refuse her request.

"Stop playing games with me, tell me, what’s up?"

Seeing a ray of hope, he silently reminded himself to be strong now! Stronger yet!

Zhu Qianyu pouted, "My neck hurts, can’t think, can’t talk..."

Ji Huan originally stood perfectly straight, upon hearing Zhu Qianyu’s words, he staggered slightly, almost straining his back.

Is this girl clearly going to take him out?

Ji Huan managed to hold a serious face, gave her a glare, "Who tells someone they need to talk but then acts coy!"

Zhu Qianyu then showed an innocent look, "Learned from my sister!"

Ji Huan’s scalp tightened; dealing with one Zhu Qianyu is already vexing enough, is his future sister-in-law an even harder entity to handle than this little girl?

Then from now on, shouldn’t he be prepared to pass through obstacles and overcome challenges? Will he be perpetually trapped in dire straits?

In the Ji Family, aside from the little darlings Beibei and Guoguo, the most adept at and frequent in acting cute is Ji Huan, the young master.

But now in front of him is clearly someone better at acting cute than he is.

No wonder he’s a victim to her.

Recognizing his shortcoming compared to the current opponent, the young master surrendered to her gentle, coquettish offensive; since he’s lost, he has to acknowledge it!

Perhaps this is fate!

The enlightened young master flicked his long leg behind him, hooking a chair leaning against the wall, drew it back with his long legs, and sat down.

"Now, can you speak?!" The young master said, rolling his eyes at her.

The chair was very low, and though he was much taller than Zhu Qianyu, sitting down he was now perfectly eye-level with her.

Zhu Qianyu blinked, watching his long limbs sitting on the short stool, forcibly compressed together, cramped and unnatural.

This look of him appeared extremely ridiculous, yet amid the awkward stiffness, was a touch of endearing cuteness.

"Yes, I can speak now!"

The anxiety-ridden heart of Zhu Qianyu subsided little by little after entering the room, for some reason.

Turns out, her recent restlessness was not an ailment but a kind of Ji Huan-deficient hunger.

And her deficiency syndrome was mostly relieved during the time they gazed at each other after entering the door, now allowing her to clearly communicate.

"Ji Huan, I have a question for you!"

"Speak!" Ji Huan maintained his cool demeanor, though it was only an act!

"Are you married or single?"

Actually, Zhu Qianyu already learned the true answer to this question from Si Han, but she needs to explain the cause and effect of their misunderstanding.

Her private intent is actually hoping he understands that the torment she’s endured over the past months was no less than his.

Ji Huan stared with wide eyes, incredulously at her, "Are you crazy? I’m only twenty-one, how could I be married!"

Finishing his words, without waiting for her response, he hastily asked, "Wait, have you always assumed I’m married?"
