Chapter 1067 - 1065: Keep a Close Eye on Young Master Ji
After Ji Huan and Zhu Qianyu came out of the café, they headed straight across the street to an accessories shop and picked out two crystal bracelets.The Amethyst one, Ji Huan directly put on Zhu Qianyu’s wrist.
The green crystal one, Ji Huan had the shop wrap up, planning to give it to Zhu Qianying later that evening.
Walking out of the accessories shop, Zhu Qianyu finally couldn’t help asking, "Ji Huan, didn’t you say you don’t know the first thing about jewelry and accessories? How come you walked in and immediately picked out these two bracelets?"
Actually, what puzzled Zhu Qianyu even more was that Ji Huan had insisted on putting the Amethyst bracelet on her, even after she said she preferred the green crystal one.
But Ji Huan had no intention of satisfying her curiosity. "Come on, go with me to buy some clothes for the new season."
When he first came over, the weather was still a bit hot, but in the past couple of days it had noticeably cooled down. Originally, he wasn’t in the mood to go shop for clothes at all. After all, no matter how sharp he dressed, he was just going back and forth between work and home every day. So he’d planned to just have his mom pack some stuff and mail it over.
But now it was different. Not only was he in an excellent mood, he also had someone to appreciate how handsome he looked.
"Clothes shopping? I’m really not good at that!"
Zhu Qianyu looked totally troubled. Most of her own clothes were bought by Zhu Qianying. Now that Ji Huan wanted her to be his consultant, she was honestly worried her terrible fashion sense would make him despise her.
Ji Huan, however, wasn’t worried at all. "Relax, your boyfriend is a standard clothes hanger. Throw a burlap sack on me and I can still rock it like a runway look!"
Zhu Qianyu was truly speechless at him. "Ji Huan, are you sure being this narcissistic is actually okay?"
Ji Huan shrugged. "This isn’t narcissism, it’s confidence. You could also call it knowing my own strengths."
Zhu Qianyu had nothing to say to that.
Back then, he must have always been putting on a serious act, otherwise how had she never noticed he was this flamboyant and self-absorbed?
Of course, as his girlfriend, she had to admit he did have the capital to be flamboyant and narcissistic.
And their entire afternoon of clothes shopping that followed completely proved that Ji Huan did indeed have plenty of capital for his arrogance.
At first, with a bit of a mischievous streak, Zhu Qianyu just pointed randomly at a few outfits for him to try. But whether it was casual wear or office wear, no matter what he put on, he somehow made it look especially handsome. Even the sales assistants in the branded stores said he looked more like a model than many top-name professional models.
After an afternoon of shopping like a crazy clearance sale, the two of them lugged big and small bags back to the car. As Zhu Qianyu buckled her seat belt, she teased Ji Huan.
"See? You don’t need to pick clothes at all. Just throw a burlap sack on you and you’re good. In the end, it’s all about the face."
Young Master Ji solemnly shot down her theory. "No. Besides the face, the body matters too!"
Zhu Qianyu once again had no words.
When Zhu Qianying saw Ji Huan, her eyes lit up. She took the initiative to reach out her hand. "Hello, I’m Xiao Yu’s Sister, Zhu Qianying. I didn’t expect you to be even more handsome and stylish than I imagined."
Zhu Qianyu bumped Zhu Qianying’s hand. "Sister, can you please fix that bad habit of drooling every time you see a handsome guy?"
Ji Huan finally understood why Zhu Qianyu could so casually tell him her sister was a pig. Turned out this was just how relaxed and unrestrained the two sisters were with each other in private.
"Xiao Yu, I’m just acknowledging your good taste. Besides, everyone loves beauty. What’s wrong with looking a few extra times when I see a handsome guy?"
After teasing her sister, Zhu Qianying turned to Ji Huan. "Young Master Ji, I’m not wrong, am I?"
Ji Huan had originally been a little nervous—after all, this was his first time meeting the family.
But after a bit of interaction, that nervousness completely vanished.
"You’re not wrong at all. But if Xiao Yu were to look at other handsome guys like that, I’d probably get jealous!" Ji Huan said with a smile, pulling out a chair for Zhu Qianying first, then pulling out the one next to him for Zhu Qianyu to sit by his side.
Zhu Qianying was amused by his honesty and sense of humor. "Xiao Yu, you’d better keep a close eye on Young Master Ji."
Zhu Qianyu nodded obediently. "Don’t worry, Sister, I’ll go out later and buy a chain to lock him up."
The three of them were around the same age, so their conversation was all very casual and banter-filled. The atmosphere was warm and lively, without any of the usual nervousness of meeting the family or the awkwardness of a first meeting.
After joking around for a while, Ji Huan presented the boxed green crystal bracelet with both hands.
"Sister, Xiao Yu and I just happened to see this while we were out shopping and thought it would suit you."
Zhu Qianying took the box but didn’t rush to open it. Instead, she said to Ji Huan, "Xiao Yu said you’re twenty-one, I’m twenty, we’re about the same age. You can just call me Shadow."
Ji Huan nodded. "Okay."
Zhu Qianying opened the box, took out the bracelet inside and looked at it carefully for quite a while, then shifted her gaze to Zhu Qianyu’s wrist.
"These two bracelets were bought together?"
"Yeah. I clearly said I like the green crystal one, but he insisted on putting this Amethyst one on me." Zhu Qianyu pouted in mock dissatisfaction.
Zhu Qianying laughed and patted her head. "You little fool, how can you be this dumb?"
After teasing her sister, Zhu Qianying gave Ji Huan an apologetic smile. "Sorry, Ji Huan. Our Xiao Yu is such a little idiot she didn’t get your thoughtful intentions at all. In the future, I’ll have to trouble you to put up with her more."
Ji Huan also smiled as he raised his hand to ruffle Zhu Qianyu’s hair. "It’s fine, I like her just the way she is. I’m smart enough anyway, so it doesn’t matter whether she is or not."
No matter how she listened, Zhu Qianyu felt like her sister and Ji Huan were ganging up to roast her.
"Hey, that’s enough, you two. Does bullying a kid make you feel that accomplished?"
Zhu Qianying looked at her little sister and shook her head with a helpless smile. "You fool, what Ji Huan just said was sweet talk. Instead of being touched, you’re accusing him of bullying you. You really are dumb to the extreme."
Zhu Qianyu carefully replayed Ji Huan’s words. Aside from implying she was dumb, the rest indeed could be taken as a line of sweet nothings.
"Fine, I get that he was being sweet. But about the bracelets, how exactly are you planning to smooth that over for him, Sister?"
Zhu Qianying gave Ji Huan a sympathetic look, then explained to her sister.
"You fool, Amethyst is called the ’stone of Love’s protection’ in the West. It’s said that wearing it can grant lovers and married couples deep love, loyalty, honesty, and courage."
Turning the purple crystal beads on her wrist, Zhu Qianyu lifted her eyes and asked Ji Huan, "You knew that?"
Ji Huan smiled and gave a little wink, which counted as an admission.
"Then what about yours?" Zhu Qianyu felt like she was as ignorant as an elementary schooler whether she was in front of her sister or Ji Huan.
"Legend has it that green crystal and green gemstones are especially powerful at warding off and dispelling evil. And the green light in green crystal has a strong power to gather wealth. It can boost a person’s career and fortune, including all good luck, good opportunities, good friends, and even helpful benefactors. So, did you bad-mouth me to Ji Huan or something?"
