Chapter 1075: Chapter 1073: Shh... I’m Sleepy!
"Ji Huan, it’s Zhu Qianyu’s good fortune to have met you. She’s not foolish, but she’s still young and lacks experience. Please guide her when you have time. Thank you."
Zhu Qianying knows her sister very well. After all, a cherished treasure she’s doted on since childhood—how could she not understand her?
Ji Huan didn’t find any fault with Zhu Qianying’s words that sounded like entrusting her sister to him for life. He and Zhu Qianyu were about the same age, in love with the same person, so there was no need for pretenses in their conversation.
"Mm, I will. Shadow, do you need any help on your end? I’m heading back to L City early tomorrow and will be there for quite a long time for work. If you need anything, feel free to contact me."
Ji Huan knew Zhu Qianying well enough to know she was pretty stubborn. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to shoulder the responsibility of protecting her mother and sister all these years.
And the more stubborn a person, the harder it is for them to ask for help. If he didn’t offer assistance upfront, even if she encountered difficulties, she probably wouldn’t reach out to him.
But she was Zhu Qianyu’s sister, and if something happened to her, Zhu Qianyu wouldn’t be happy, and naturally, neither would he.
"Alright, I understand. If anything comes up, I’ll contact you anytime."
With her assurance, Ji Huan breathed a little easier. He turned to leave and saw Da Bao still sitting on the couch in the living room, typing away on his computer.
"Brother, if you hear anything about the Zhu Family, make sure to let me know right away."
The young master leaned over the back of the couch, resting his chin on Ji Dabao’s shoulder.
Ji Dabao reached up to ruffle his hair, "Alright, I’ll keep an eye out."
"Thanks!" The young master straightened up and walked toward the bedroom.
"Can you manage all the work? If not, I can get you an assistant," Da Bao said from behind.
Everyone in the Ji Family was highly capable and driven, so Ji Huan went over without bringing any assistants or the like.
But at that time, Ji Huan was single, free from any attachments.
But now, Ji Huan was different. His little girlfriend was in R City while he was in L City. Even if he could bear the separation from Monday to Friday, it would be hard to stay apart over the weekend.
And the project at the base had been nonstop since day one until completion.
When Ji Huan initially went alone, he hadn’t considered the weekend issue. Upon hearing his brother mention it, he responded with a distant "Alright" as he walked to the bedroom door.
Ji Dabao immediately pulled up several suitable candidates’ personnel files, carefully compared them, and finally chose a man named Gao Yuan, who was in his early thirties. He made a call to the HR manager, and in less than half an hour, Gao Yuan received the transfer order. Considered a promotion, Gao Yuan happily agreed to complete the handover at the company the next day and fly to L City in the afternoon.
After handling these matters, Ji Dabao got up to check on the two little treasures in the nursery.
The two little ones were fast asleep in the playroom on a big bed, heads touching, their chubby little hands resting on each other’s waist. The scene reminded him of Nuonuo and Little Treasure when they were that age.
In the blink of an eye, Nuonuo and Little Treasure had grown up. Nuonuo became the woman who would accompany him for life, and Little Treasure, it seemed, had also found the woman he wanted to spend his life with...
Thinking of this, a smile appeared in Ji Dabao’s eyes. He leaned over the bed, covering the two little ones with a thin blanket and then kissed their chubby cheeks.
In a few years, this living room might have new occupants. By then, as the former brother, he would be promoted to uncle...
"What’s making you so happy?"
Ji Dabao stood up and turned around, noticing that his mom had quietly come in.
"I was thinking, in a few years, when Little Treasure has kids, this playroom might have new owners."
Le Tong came over and hugged him, "When did you become so sentimental? Did Nuonuo infect you?"
Da Bao chuckled, wrapping his arm around Le Tong’s shoulder as they walked out.
"Mommy, did you know, when I was about four or five years old, I watched others with moms, brothers, and sisters, and I thought, if only I were like them. Back then, I thought that was just a dream that could never come true. But now, I’m just like others, with my own siblings, and we all have our own families and children..."
Le Tong patted his back without saying anything.
Her son’s sentiments were her sentiments as well.
Before meeting Da Bao, she too thought she would die alone.
Fate had been kind to her.
Not only did she get her son back, but she also found a good man who loved and cherished her, and then two more children, and now, adorable grandchildren.
Having experienced the pain of yearning for happiness without being able to attain it, she, Da Bao, and even Ji Rui found themselves standing by Little Treasure, protecting his own share of happiness.
Zhu Qianyu woke up, groggy, opened her eyes, and saw the unfamiliar, distinctly masculine décor. After a moment, she remembered she was at Ji Huan’s house, and at this moment, was lying in his bed.
Zhu Qianyu turned over and saw her boyfriend Ji Huan sitting next to the bed, knees slightly bent, a laptop on his lap, focused on typing on the screen.
Zhu Qianyu sat up, her rustling sounds finally drawing Ji Huan’s attention. Lifting his gaze, he saw her sitting there with her hair like a bird’s nest and blinked at her dazedly, leaning over to kiss her lips with a smile.
"Had enough sleep?"
"Hmm..." Zhu Qianyu pouted slightly, her eyes half-closed and still a bit hazy, making her appear even more adorably harmless, causing the young master’s heart to race.
Putting the laptop aside and closing it, he lifted his body and leaned towards her. Zhu Qianyu, just out of the covers and still a bit woozy, was pushed back onto the bed by him.
"Hey..."
Before Zhu Qianyu could protest, the man had already pulled the quilt over them, covering both under the blanket.
"Shh... I’m sleepy!"
The man rubbed his face against her neck, nuzzling softly.
The young master snuggled in her neck a few more times, found a comfortable position, and closed his eyes.
Zhu Qianyu, fully awake from his push and pressure, looked down at him.
Under his thick lashes were indeed two dark rings. It seemed that her presence had disrupted his work schedule, forcing him to juggle all his tasks at once.
"Ji Huan, I’m sorry..."
Zhu Qianyu felt she was thoughtless, rushing over without understanding his work status. Clearly, she had worn him out.
"Be good, don’t make noise, just accompany me for a nap..." mumbled the man, pulling her tightly into his arms.
