Chapter 1074 - 1072: This Is Your Home
The Ji Family truly treats Zhu Qianyu as one of their own, not at all like an outsider.With Beibei and Guoguo, the atmosphere experts, Zhu Qianyu managed to chat and laugh even with Ji Rui, whom she thought was very serious, within just one or two hours of entering the house.
The meal was naturally enjoyable for both host and guest.
During the meal, everyone occasionally asked about Zhu Qianyu’s studies and internship, but mostly discussed Little Treasure’s childhood mishaps and fun stories.
Many people would be resistant to tales of their childhood embarrassments.
But Little Treasure didn’t mind these stories at all; no matter what his dad, mom, or brother said about him, he listened cheerfully and occasionally served Zhu Qianyu the meats and vegetables she liked.
Growing up, Zhu Qianyu was always cautious and reserved in the Zhu Family.
So, this harmonious and relaxed family atmosphere was a first-time experience for her.
Though it was her first time, she felt completely at ease, as if the family members before her were loving and protective relatives all along.
After the meal, Le Tong forcibly sent the two of them back to the bedroom for a nap. Once inside, Zhu Qianyu hugged Ji Huan, her voice slightly choked as she said, "Ji Huan, thank you!"
Ji Huan lovingly rubbed her head, bent down, and gently kissed the top of her hair.
"Xiao Yu, this is my home. Because I love you and you love me, it’s your home too. Don’t you know?"
A month ago, if someone told Zhu Qianyu that she would recognize her boyfriend’s family as her own and consider his home hers after the first visit,
Zhu Qianyu would definitely call them foolish!
But now, she didn’t feel foolish or naive at all.
She only remembered what her sister said to her, "Ji Huan is a good man, you must cherish him well!"
Indeed, not only Ji Huan but his family as well, she must cherish them well.
Zhu Qianyu undeniably has a unique perspective on things.
This is probably thanks to her sister Zhu Qianying’s guidance and influence.
To her, emotions are very precious.
Since they’re precious and hard-earned, the first thing to do is cherish and find ways to preserve them rather than constantly doubting and denying.
Of course, the prerequisite is that these feelings aren’t built upon someone else’s suffering.
At this moment, Zhu Qianyu feels her relationship with Ji Huan is precious enough to be cherished and maintained for a lifetime.
"I know..."
Zhu Qianyu buried her face in Ji Huan’s embrace, unwilling to raise her head for a long time.
Ji Huan let her hold onto him, carefully stepping back together until they reached the couch, where he sat down and she fell into his arms.
Just earlier, while his mom cut fruit in the kitchen, Ji Huan sneaked in to eavesdrop, learning that Zhu Qianyu’s elder brother has recently been pushed to desperate measures, trying to force the Zhu Family patriarch to transfer the training center belonging to the third wife’s family.
If they found out Zhu Qianyu was seeing Ji Huan, they might target Xiao Yu.
Ji Huan now understood why his mother was in such a rush to arrange a place for Zhu Qianyu.
His mother’s actions clearly indicated that Zhu Qianyu, from today onwards, would be protected by the Ji Family.
"Mommy, thank you!"
Similar to what Zhu Qianyu had said, Ji Huan had also said it to Le Tong while hugging her in the kitchen earlier.
"Silly boy, Xiao Yu is the person you like. If someone hurts her, the one sad is you. I’m your mommy, and naturally, I can’t bear to see you unhappy. So, as soon as I saw her, my immediate reaction was to prevent those from the Zhu Family from targeting her."
Recalling his mother’s mention of safety concerns, Ji Huan suddenly remembered Zhu Qianying.
"Xiao Yu, has your sister set the date for her wedding with Young Master Yan?"
Zhu Qianyu, whose emotions had settled, finally raised her head from his embrace, "Yes, it’s set for Christmas."
Ji Huan calculated it; it’s a little over a month until Christmas now.
"So is your sister living at home now or with Young Master Yan?"
Zhu Qianying is Zhu Qianyu’s biological sister. If anything happened to Zhu Qianying, Zhu Qianyu would definitely be upset.
Of course, if Young Master Yan and Zhu Qianying have a normal romantic relationship, Zhu Qianying’s safety naturally wouldn’t need worrying.
But unfortunately, the relationship between Young Master Yan and Zhu Qianying, to put it bluntly, is essentially a transaction. With such transactional relationships, it’s uncertain if Young Master Yan would offend the Zhu Family because of Zhu Qianying.
"Of course she’s living at home!"
Zhu Qianyu thought Ji Huan’s question was a bit odd, "Why are you asking this?"
Ji Huan certainly wouldn’t tell the truth, "I heard Young Master Yan possesses a strong sense of ownership. I thought your sister would move in after confirming the relationship."
Cohabitation before marriage is no longer considered scandalous in modern society, so Ji Huan didn’t find anything unusual about it.
Moreover, since his mother thought of Zhu Qianyu’s safety, if Young Master Yan truly cares about Zhu Qianying, he would likely think along those lines too.
But after hearing Zhu Qianyu’s answer, Ji Huan couldn’t help but worry secretly for his future sister-in-law.
"I don’t know what Young Master Yan is thinking, but my sister definitely won’t move in so quickly."
"Why?"
"If my sister moves to the Yan Family, my mom will be terribly bullied."
Since Zhu Qianyu’s understanding, she has always felt that her mom and herself have been a burden to her sister. If it weren’t for her and her mom, her sister might have long left the Zhu Family to live her own free life.
"Is your sister planning to take your mom with her?" Ji Huan didn’t quite understand; even if at that time Zhu Qianying married into the Yan Family, bringing Chen Jing to the Yan Family seems unrealistic.
Even if the Yan Family agrees, Zhu Zhizhou wouldn’t agree either.
"I don’t know..." Zhu Qianyu looked confused.
Regarding this matter, she actually asked her sister, but her sister said she had her own plans, so Zhu Qianyu didn’t pursue the topic further.
After gathering a ton of information from Zhu Qianyu, Ji Huan quietly formed his own plans.
After finally coaxing Zhu Qianyu to sleep, he took his phone to the next room and dialed Zhu Qianying’s number.
"Hello, Ji Huan?" Zhu Qianying was clearly surprised to receive Ji Huan’s call.
"That’s right, it’s me. Shadow, I need to inform you about something. You’re aware of your elder brother’s situation, right? My mom is worried that Xiao Yu might be threatened, so she wants Xiao Yu to stay at our house as much as possible during this time. You don’t mind, do you?"
The other side was silent for a while, "Hmm, Ji Huan, please thank your mom for me. I’ll visit to express my gratitude when I have the time."
Hearing Zhu Qianying say this indirectly confirmed that his mother’s concerns were not unfounded.
"Shadow, no need to thank me. She’s my girlfriend; I’m responsible for her safety."
