Zhu Qianyu was reading an English version of a professional book. She didn’t understand many of the technical terms, so she had no choice but to hold a dictionary thicker than a brick, checking each one as she read.
Because she was too engrossed, she didn’t notice the oppressive atmosphere around her, with waves of hidden tension crashing toward her.
It wasn’t until a pleasant male baritone voice sounded in her ear, "Hey! We et again!"
Zhu Qianyu had a thing for voices and was particularly sensitive to pleasant ones. This male baritone voice, which she had heard a few tis, always caught her by surprise, and this ti was no exception.
Already guessing who it was, Zhu Qianyu slowly raised her head, "Hello!"
After casually greeting, Zhu Qianyu continued to bury her head in her book.
The young master was actually hopeful about this encounter he had deliberately orchestrated, and seeing her so indifferent, he felt a bit disappointed.
But he had sowhat prepared himself ntally to initially encounter obstacles with her. From their only two interactions, it was not hard to see that she was a cautious girl.
So, although he was disappointed, he didn’t show any dissatisfaction or disappointnt on his face. He glanced at the professional book and dictionary spread out on the table and quietly sat beside her, took out his laptop from his backpack, and began working seriously.
Despite Little Treasure appearing quite childish and sotis throwing little tantrums in front of his family, in reality, he was a highly responsible person, who took both work and family obligations seriously.
The addition of two little babies to the family had added a lot of burdens to Brother and Sister’s shoulders. The Ji Family had expanded rapidly in recent years, leading to more demanding affairs. As a single man, he naturally needed to share part of the responsibilities, in terms of both work and family, for his Brother and Sister.
Therefore, seeing that she didn’t pay much attention to him, he earnestly opened the email sent by his secretary and began reviewing the docunts one by one.
The two people sitting in the corner were both seriously engaged in their respective tasks.
Zhu Qianyu finally finished reading a Chapter and looked up, accidentally catching a glimpse of the man’s handso side profile, which made her heart skip a few beats.
She had to admit, although this man was a scoundrel, he was exceedingly handso!
She wasn’t a fan of celebrities, but she occasionally read gossip news. In today’s society where young heartthrobs were prevalent, this man beside her, although already a father, was more striking and handso than any young star she had ever seen.
What a pity! Another hypocrite with re superficial charms.
While secretly observing the man beside her, Zhu Qianyu couldn’t help but lant internally.
The young master, who was engrossed in his docunts, took a while to sense sothing amiss. He glanced over slightly, eting Zhu Qianyu’s exploratory amber eyes.
"Finished reading?"
The young master slightly turned to face Zhu Qianyu, his voice gentle yet deep.
Zhu Qianyu clearly hadn’t expected her secretive peeking to be caught red-handed and felt extrely embarrassed for a mont. Her face heated up slightly, she turned away and nodded randomly.
"Um..."
The young master’s bright eyes settled on her face, watching as her earlobe slowly turned red, and his previous sulkiness gradually dissipated, replaced by an unspoken joy spreading quietly within him.
The young master suddenly extended his long hand, startling Zhu Qianyu whose face was slightly red and was sitting upright. Instinctively, like a frightened little rabbit, she moved toward the corner.
Looking at her slightly raised face, those big eyes full of fright, the young master found it quite amusing. He smiled slightly but said nothing, his slender fingers picking up her pen from the book, uncapped it.
His long hand reached out again, writing his na, Ji Huan, in flowing script on a blank space in her notebook on the table.
Underneath the na was a long string of phone numbers.
After the rustling writing, the young master capped the pen and placed it back.
Zhu Qianyu watched his long fingers perform a series of actions in astonishnt, and then, as if by magic, a foreign script and not-so-foreign na suddenly appeared in her notebook.
She rembered clearly that he had already told her his na was Ji Huan in the park that day.
Writing it again so solemnly, did he think she hadn’t clearly heard it that day?
Or was this another killer move of a scoundrel’s approach to wooing girls?
Thinking of this, Zhu Qianyu faintly frowned.
The young master, however, didn’t notice her discomfort and had no intention of lingering on. After writing his na and phone number in her notebook, he said nothing, quietly closed his laptop, placed it back in his bag, and casually took out a square wooden box, pushing it in front of her.
"This is a private orthopedic secret recipe from an old Chinese dicine doctor I know. See if it’s useful to you."
As Zhu Qianyu was about to refuse, the young master had already stood up, waved at her, mouthed "Goodbye" to her, and before she could respond, walked briskly toward the exit.
Zhu Qianyu thought, this man was really composed—sitting beside her for nearly an hour, he rely said hello, put down this so-called secret recipe box, and then left without a word.
Could this be the legendary technique of pursuing soone by playing hard to get?
Despite feeling contempt for his actions, Zhu Qianyu couldn’t suppress her curiosity and opened the square wooden box on the table.
Inside, four small glass bottles were neatly arranged. Zhu Qianyu picked one up to examine it closely, noting a small label on it: "Doctor Fu’s Special Orthopedic dicinal Wine."
Zhu Qianyu was not a native of R City, but her best friend Fang Ziqing, who accompanied her to the infirmary that day, was. Coincidentally, she recently visited Doctor Fu’s clinic and hence knew that Doctor Fu was very famous in R City, and those seeking his treatnt typically needed to make appointnts days in advance.
And this man nad Ji Huan, whom she t just yesterday, could bring his dicinal wine over today. It was evident that he must hold so status and position in R City.
And she, being a child from a wealthy family, could naturally tell that even though today he was dressed casually like a student, each item was elegant and costly—attire only affordable by the sons of affluent families.
Ji Huan?
Zhu Qianyu glanced thoughtfully at the conspicuous na on the notebook. It seed this man was sowhat different from her father, a typical charming scoundrel.
At the very least, he was thoughtful enough to make such considerate attempts. Deliberately getting close while pretending to be a chance encounter.
However, the more such a man is, the more dangerous he is, isn’t he?
Compared to him, her father’s thod of winning won over with money seed utterly simple and weak!
If her father was a beginner at wooing won, then this Ji Huan could at least be considered a near-top-level Ultimate BOSS!
