Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife

Chapter 1066 - 1064: Don’t Make It Anymore, I Won’t Eat It

"Hey? Why stopped eating?" Zhu Qianyu was puzzled, thinking she might have said something wrong, feeling all anxious."Making cakes probably reminds you of a lot of unhappy childhood memories, right? Forget it, I won’t eat them anymore!"

Ji Huan’s large hand moved from her shoulder to the top of her head, ruffling her short hair to soothe her nerves.

Zhu Qianyu was incredibly touched by him. In her past life, what good deed did she do to encounter such thoughtful and gentle man?

"No, I’ve always felt that cake-making was a joyful thing, as long as I’m kneading dough, I can forget everything."

From childhood till now, whenever she faced something upsetting, she would find solace by tinkering in the cake room.

"Forget it, maybe I should stop eating them then?" Ji Huan was still insistent.

"Why?" Zhu Qianyu found it increasingly strange, hadn’t she explained clearly already? What was going on with Young Master Ji?

Still not fully understanding Young Master Ji, Zhu Qianyu was unaware that this was the Ji Family’s Young Master’s bout of pride.

"You make a lousy cake to forget everything, wouldn’t that include forgetting me as well? Forget it, never make them again, I won’t eat any more."

The young master said with a sincere face and finally noticed he was half perched on the edge of the seat, stood up, and sat down on the opposite side.

Seeing him suddenly leave, and recalling his words, Zhu Qianyu thought he was angry, reaching out to grab his hand.

"I never said I’d forget you. What I just said was just an expression; maybe my wording was off. To be accurate, as long as I enter the cake room, I can forget troubles and displeasure. My sister and I are the youngest in Zhu Family, and my mom had the lowest standing among my dad’s concubines, so my sister and I were often bullied in our childhood. During such instances, we’d hide in the kitchen. My siblings and the aunts always thought of the kitchen as a messy place they’d never set foot in, so the moment we stepped in, we were safe."

Ji Huan carefully scrutinized her face, listening word by word, and confirming she wasn’t lying, he nodded and said, "Alright then, I still want chestnut cake tomorrow."

Zhu Qianyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, seeing him not upset anymore tried to withdraw her hand, Ji Huan seemed to sense her intention and intertwined his fingers with hers, laying them confidently on the table.

"What do you want to eat tonight?"

Seeing that it was about lunch time, Ji Huan, gaining Zhu Qianyu’s consent, ordered a couple’s meal set, and as the meal was served, Ji Huan suddenly asked about the plan for the evening.

"You decide." Zhu Qianyu had no particular preference.

"What do you and your sister like to eat?"

Zhu Qianying being Zhu Qianyu’s closest family, at this first meeting, Ji Huan hoped to leave a good impression.

"Didn’t I tell you yesterday? My sister is like a pig; as long as it’s tasty, she loves everything."

Zhu Qianyu didn’t think this was belittling her sister; on the contrary, she believed it was good for her sister, adaptive and unpretentious.

Ji Huan was somewhat surprised; before he heard Zhu Qianyu mention her sister with admiration and respect, how come she was now darkening her sister?

"What do you love to eat?"

Although in the months spent in a generally friendly capacity, Ji Huan had mostly figured out her taste preferences, but back then they were merely friends, some reserve was normal.

"How about we go have a buffet meal then? It caters to everyone’s taste, and most importantly, the portions are ample, ensuring my sister gets full." Zhu Qianyu straightforwardly offered a suggestion.

Ji Huan had no objections to this but felt Zhu Qianyu constantly speaking of her sister like that wasn’t very nice.

"Xiao Yu, saying these things behind your sister’s back might upset her, right?"

Ji Huan, knowing nothing about Zhu Qianying, considered that most girls wouldn’t like being likened to a pig.

Concerned about Zhu Qianying treating Zhu Qianyu well, he didn’t want to see her inadvertently hurt someone who cared for her.

But Xiao Yu shook her head and said, "No, I often joke with my sister like this, rest assured, my sister isn’t petty, sigh... all in all, you will understand when you meet her."

Ji Huan having said so much, nothing to add, after all, they were blood-related sisters, like him and Ji Dabao, speaking freely but rarely angry seriously.

"This is your turf, you decide the place, find somewhere quiet to talk."

Zhu Qianyu smiled, making an OK gesture at him, "Don’t worry, I won’t get heartache over your wallet, Young Master Ji."

The young master took no offense to Zhu Qianyu’s teasing, eventually opting for a western buffet at her suggestion.

With tonight’s location settled, Ji Huan asked again, "What does your sister like?"

Seeming to choose a meeting gift.

Zhu Qianyu didn’t even think, "She loves money!"

Ji Huan nearly spat out his tea, "Xiao Yu, don’t be silly! I’m serious!"

"I am serious too, my sister really loves money!" Zhu Qianyu emphasized earnestly.

Ji Huan facepalmed, before why hadn’t he noticed her coming with such odd ideas? Definitely, it was because she hid it from him back then.

"Xiao Yu, I’m asking about your sister’s tastes to pick a greeting gift, but you tell me, she loves money. Everyone loves money, but I can’t give her a bank card, right?"

Zhu Qianyu burst into laughter, "I think it’s a great idea, if you truly gift a bank card, my sister will be surely happy."

Ji Huan felt the urge to escape to the restroom to calm down!

"Xiao Yu, can you be serious?"

This girl, when being earnest was as obedient as could be, but mischievous without any decorum.

Zhu Qianyu chuckled, resting her cheek in her palm, "Okay then, let me think."

Ji Huan thus went completely quiet, providing her a sufficiently calm space to think.

"My sister likes stylish, tasteful jewelry, accessories. Not necessarily expensive, anything unique and special works."

Ji Huan didn’t immediately grasp the "not necessarily expensive," definition, "When you say not expensive, what’s that about?"

"Products costing a few bucks off the street, if it catches my sister’s eye, she adores them. Conversely, if disfavored, even if worth a thousand or millions, she sees it as trash. That being said, it’s a metaphor, my sister’s not loaded enough to purchase million-dollar trinkets."

Ji Huan was clueless about jewelry and accessories, hence, Zhu Qianyu’s hint left him even more bewildered.

Finally, he found solace relying on Zhu Qianyu, "Do you know your sister’s taste well enough to pick out a greeting gift together shortly?"
