Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife

Chapter 1069 - 1067: You Know All My Inner Self

Next day, Ji Huan came early to pick up Zhu Qianyu, Zhu Qianying saw her sister off to the car and specifically told her, "Remember to talk."Ji Huan turned the car around and only after driving onto the road did he glance at Zhu Qianyu, "What does your sister want you to say?"

Zhu Qianyu didn’t tell Ji Huan immediately, firstly because she hadn’t completely figured out how to say it, and secondly, she didn’t want him to be distracted while driving.

It wasn’t until they sat on the flight back to R City that Zhu Qianyu spoke to Ji Huan.

"My family seems to be in trouble recently..." Zhu Qianyu found these words difficult to say.

After all, she was still too naive and couldn’t, like her sister, talk about family troubles nonchalantly as if they were jokes.

Ji Huan looked at her, didn’t reply, but reached out and played with her hand within his palm.

After a while, seeing there was no follow-up, Ji Huan looked up at her.

"What kind of trouble? Is it your mom or sister’s, or your dad’s?"

Ji Huan asked with such detail, apparently, he had clearly mapped out the Zhu Family members.

"It’s my dad’s, actually, it’s about Mingxuan."

"Hmm." Ji Huan signaled he was listening.

"Mingxuan seems to be facing some trouble, and there’s a problem with the cash flow..."

Ji Huan had already heard about this matter.

A year ago, Mingxuan Hotel passed a proposal by the eldest son of the Zhu Family, Zhu Qianyu’s big brother, to acquire several nearly bankrupt high-end hotels in other provinces.

Until now, a year later, these new Mingxuan Hotels haven’t earned the Zhu Family a penny but lost a significant amount of money instead.

Now, Mingxuan Group is suffering from a huge shortage of liquidity, and Zhu Zhizhou’s several loan applications to major banks have been delayed due to lack of strong guarantors.

Currently, Mingxuan urgently needs a wealthy and influential figure to step in and help Mingxuan get through this crisis!

"Hmm, I heard it was your big brother’s proposal to acquire several large hotels from other cities, but due to poor management, it’s severely losing money. Now, there’s a significant gap in Mingxuan Group’s finances, and bank loans are being politely refused under various reasons. What you’re mentioning should be this issue?"

Having interacted with Zhu Qianying, Ji Huan deeply realized the vast difference between the two sisters.

Zhu Qianying is the kind of girl who’s extremely shrewd, whereas Zhu Qianyu is incredibly naive in certain matters.

Generally speaking, this indirectly shows how well Zhu Qianying protects her sister.

What her sister likes, she’ll strive to help her achieve; what her sister doesn’t want to see, she’ll do her best to shield with her hand, not letting any dirt pollute her sister’s eyes.

"Yes, exactly this matter. My sister wanted to remind you to be wary of my dad, don’t let him exploit you."

Zhu Qianyu may be naive, but between Ji Huan and her dad, she sided with Ji Huan without hesitation.

Ji Huan raised his hand to tousle her hair, "Silly, do you think I’m running a charity? Don’t worry, I’ll handle this."

Zhu Qianyu nodded, "My sister also said it was just a precaution, expecting that you wouldn’t be that dumb."

Ji Huan laughed, "So, your sister seems to understand me even better than you do?"

Zhu Qianyu completely ignored his provocation and shrugged, "It’s normal for my sister to know you, she said the Ji Family brothers’ reputation is so big, it’s hard not to know."

With laughter in his eyes, Ji Huan leaned in and kissed her nose tip, "Feeling jealous?"

Zhu Qianyu pursed her lips and shook her head.

How could she be jealous when she didn’t even realize for months that the powerful Ji Family Crown Prince by her side was someone she mistook as an ordinary white-collar elite?

"Silly, whether it’s your sister or those outside, what they know is only my facade, only you know all my inside."

Ji Huan gently pecked at her tightly pursed lips, soothing her with tenderness.

Zhu Qianyu rolled her eyes at him, "Are you infected by my sister, calling me silly all the time?"

Ji Huan laughed even more joyfully, unable to resist leaning in again to nibble at her puckered lips.

After a while, still feeling slightly uneasy, Zhu Qianyu again spoke to Ji Huan, "You can talk to your family about my family affairs, don’t let my dad take advantage."

Ji Huan responded with an "Hmm", feeling happy all the way for Zhu Qianyu’s inclination towards him.

On the way from the airport to the Ji Family’s, Ji Huan briefly educated Zhu Qianyu about his family situation.

Parents, plus brother and sister, well, you could also say brother and sister-in-law, along with a pair of mischievous little kids.

At first, Zhu Qianyu listened intently to the rough family situation, then only realized she was nervous as they neared the Ji Family’s.

As she got nervous, it dawned on her that she hadn’t bought any gifts.

"Ji Huan, where’s a nearby shopping mall? Let’s ask the driver to detour there."

Ji Huan didn’t quite grasp her meaning immediately, "What do you need to go to the mall for?"

"To buy gifts, this is my first time meeting your family, I can’t show up empty-handed, right?"

Zhu Qianyu silently cursed her own tardiness, how could she remember this first meeting so late?

Ji Huan pulled her close, "What are you panicking for? You’re the big gift I’m bringing home to my parents, they’ll be too happy to care whether you come empty-handed."

Ji Huan wanted to say his family never cared about such superficial things, but seeing Zhu Qianyu’s anxious face, he eventually had the driver stop by a flower shop.

"My mom likes blue enchantresses; just get her a bouquet of flowers."

Zhu Qianyu picked a bouquet of blue enchantresses to hold, "What about Beibei and Guoguo? I can’t leave the kids without gifts, right?"

Zhu Qianyu thought of those two little rascals continuously calling her "auntie, auntie," and her heart melted.

"Those two? Easy!"

The car stopped at the street corner, and Ji Huan and Zhu Qianyu went into a candy store to pick out a pile of colorful candies.

"Just this?" Zhu Qianyu seemed a bit skeptical that these candies tricking ordinary kids could appease those two clever little ancestors of the Ji Family.

"Yes, just this!" Ji Huan confidently nodded.

When Zhu Qianyu carried the candies to the checkout counter to pay, Ji Huan walked up beside her, wrapped an arm around her waist and rested his chin on her shoulder, pointing with his other hand to those colorful lollipops hanging by the counter, "I want this!"

Zhu Qianyu turned to him in surprise, "Lollipop?"

"Yes, lollipop!"

Ji Huan’s assertive reply left Zhu Qianyu no room for doubt. She took one lollipop and handed it to the cashier to scan, then handed the lollipop to the man behind her.

The young master received it, deftly peeled off the wrapping paper, and put the lollipop in his mouth, then added another comment as Zhu Qianyu was about to pay, "Add ten more."
