"Very good, she’s a cute girl with a lovely personality and looks very pretty."
This is Nuonuo’s true impression of Zhu Qianyu, with not a single exaggeration.
Le Tong intuitively felt that her younger son’s feelings for Zhu Qianyu might have hit a snag, but since her son didn’t say anything, she pretended not to know.
"Are you getting along well with her?"
"She says she’s my fan, so I chatted with her for a while. But I did test her a bit." Nuonuo grinned mischievously, with an expression much like when Beibei Guoguo was up to no good.
Le Tong couldn’t resist kicking her butt lightly, "How did you test her? Tell ."
"Judging by my experience, she definitely doesn’t have a boyfriend."
Le Tong rolled her eyes, "What experience do you have? Just that little bit you have with Da Bao?"
Nuonuo glared back, raising her voice deliberately, "Mommy, do you an you have additional relationship experience besides just with Daddy?"
Sure enough, over there holding his precious granddaughter, Ji Rui suddenly looked up and stared at Le Tong.
Le Tong shot him a glare and then patted Nuonuo, "Did you manage to find out if she has a crush on any guy?"
Nuonuo looked troubled, "I didn’t manage to test that out. It was only about ten minutes; there wasn’t ti to probe into that. But we did exchange contact details, so I’ll find out slowly."
"You better be careful not to leak anything. After all, your identity will surely be uncovered sooner or later."
Even though Little Treasure’s feelings for Zhu Qianyu were still unclear, Le Tong seed very certain that Zhu Qianyu would inevitably beco one of us.
This certainty could be attributed more to a woman’s intuition rather than re speculation.
...
Little Treasure had been away from R City for twenty days. During these twenty days, he hadn’t returned, not because it was far, but because he was too busy with work over there and really couldn’t spare the ti.
During this period, he arrived at the project site every day after seven o’clock in the morning to supervise and direct work, only returning to the hotel after ten o’clock at night, doing so consistently each day.
However, the busy work schedule was fortunate enough to leave him no ti to think about Zhu Qianyu.
One day, Da Bao called, and after the brothers talked about work, Da Bao, as the elder brother, began to show concern over his younger brother’s personal matters.
"Little Treasure, you’ve been away from R City for so long. Is everything okay with Zhu Qianyu over there?"
Little Treasure hadn’t ntioned being explicitly rejected by Zhu Qianyu to anyone, so his family just assud he was still pursuing and striving for her, little knowing he had already been kicked out of the race.
"What could be wrong? She also has her studies and work to keep her busy. Don’t tell back when you were with Sister, you didn’t work and just stuck together every day."
Little Treasure naturally knew well about Da Bao and Nuonuo’s situation.
"Hmm, no matter what, you need to explain things clearly to her, don’t neglect her, and don’t let her have ti to overthink," Da Bao said with the authority of both a brother and soone who’s been there.
Little Treasure responded with a "Hmm," thinking perhaps he should spare so ti today to call or text her?
"Young Master Yan has already released the news that Zhu Qianying is the only one who passed the selection competition. In other words, unless sothing unexpected happens, our family and the Yan Family have a high chance of becoming in-laws." Da Bao relayed the news he had just heard to Little Treasure.
This news was sowhat unexpected for both Little Treasure and Da Bao, but if it were to beco a reality, it would undoubtedly cause a massive stir in the country.
"It’s still early days for that!"
Little Treasure said this not because he lacked confidence in his situation with Zhu Qianyu.
Rather, he wasn’t optimistic about Young Master Yan and Zhu Qianying.
From Zhu Qianyu’s usual words, it’s not hard to imagine that Zhu Qianying is definitely not a typical gentle girl, whereas Young Master Yan is famously macho and picky. How can such a pair have a good outco without a foundation of feelings?
Honestly, Little Treasure wasn’t hopeful.
On the contrary, even though he’s repeatedly hit a wall with Zhu Qianyu, he’s firmly convinced that Zhu Qianyu doesn’t dislike him.
So, despite constant setbacks, he’s not discouraged.
"Yeah, indeed, I don’t hold much hope for Young Master Yan either."
The brothers share remarkably similar thinking patterns.
"How are Beibei and Guoguo lately? I miss them so much..."
Little Treasure sighed deeply, imagining those two soft and mischievous little ones burrowing into his arms, thinking about it, he was itching with longing.
"They’re doing well, but every day after work, they shout at the gate, ’Uncle, eat Tangtang’." Da Bao chuckled helplessly.
One is his brother that he dotes on, and two are his children whom he also spoils.
So most of their mischievousness is nurtured by him.
"Haha, these two little rascals sold out!" Little Treasure’s mood brightened up a lot because of the amusing antics of these little guys.
"Who told you to be so brazen about your mischief? Even Mommy said when you get back, your salary card will be confiscated, and then you won’t have money to buy candy."
Da Bao’s words were purely in jest.
For these brothers, the Ji Group’s salary cards only constituted a small portion of their inco.
It’s also because neither of them had the habit of flaunting their wealth, and they were content with good quality clothing and food without pursuing big brands.
Perhaps because of this, Zhu Qianyu had not recognized Ji Huan’s status and background for such a long ti, never even suspecting it.
Until now, Zhu Qianyu still assud Ji Huan was just a middle manager at so large corporation, never connecting him to the prestigious and wealthy Ji Family.
"By the way, when do you plan to reveal your identity to Zhu Qianyu?"
Da Bao, himself, hadn’t tasted the worry of soone liking him for his money and family background more than him personally, due to his special relationship with Nuonuo.
But Little Treasure had to face this issue.
"I’ll wait until our relationship is confird before I tell her."
Little Treasure is a proud person; even though he knows the identity of the Ji Family’s young master could gain him more favor and success, he never thought of using this to win Zhu Qianyu’s heart.
In his view, if a man can only use family background and wealth to win a woman’s admiration and affection, it’s a kind of sorrow.
Even though Da Bao reminded him, he still felt there was no need to bring this up for the ti being.
However, it’s fortunate that he never ntioned it.
If he had expressed from the start that he was the second young master of Ji Group, perhaps Zhu Qianyu wouldn’t even consider being friends with him.
It’s even more unlikely to have developed to their current situation, where although she doesn’t admit it or want to face it, he and she are indeed mutually fond of each other now.
