Chapter 1072: Ji Linbai Confessed to Ruan Chu
Editor: Henyee Translations
As the Spring Festival approached, Ruan Chu flew to the capital to record the Spring Festival Gala.
She was known as the Gu family’s Miss Cousin and had been staying with them for the past few days. Ji Linbai often visited, picking her up to go out and enjoy themselves. Their relationship was ambiguous, yet they shared a tacit understanding.
Mrs. Ji was a big fan of Ruan Chu. When she learned that Ruan Chu was in town, she eagerly invited her to the Ji family as a guest.
At the Ji family home, Mrs. Ji inquired, “What brand of perfume are you wearing? It smells wonderful.”
Ruan Chu smiled, replying, “It’s not a brand. Yangyang made it for me.”
She loved the “Morning Sun” perfume that Gu Yang crafted for her. Each time she returned to the Gu family, Gu Yang would present her with a new bottle.
Mrs. Ji had heard that Gu Yang could create divine perfumes and was delighted to discover the truth. “So this is divine perfume. It really is extraordinary!”
After chatting for a while, Mrs. Ji excitedly discussed the possibility of having Ruan Chu endorse some products under her name.
“This is the Chu family’s jewelry brand in the capital. Your endorsement with Xueyao seems to have expired. Are you considering renewing your contract? If not, you should think about this option. Their jewelry is quite lovely. Mrs. Chu mentioned that if you’re interested, you can sign the contract immediately.” Mrs. Ji pulled out her tablet and began scrolling through the information.
Ruan Chu sensed the enthusiasm of her fans. “I want to renew my contract. Thank you, Auntie Ji.”
Mrs. Ji nodded, understanding Ruan Chu’s relationship with Xueyao and recognizing that renewing their contract made sense. She proceeded to introduce other luxury brands. “Then take a look at this…”
Ji Linbai couldn’t help but think, Mom, you won’t have a daughter-in-law like this.
Although winter was cold, Ruan Chu’s perfume wrapped him in warmth. The scent evoked an inexplicable sense of familiarity, though he couldn’t pinpoint when or where he had encountered it before.
A gust of cold wind shook Ji Linbai from his thoughts. He turned to his mother, asking, “Mom, where is my father lately?”
Mrs. Ji, still focused on helping Ruan Chu choose endorsements, replied, “I don’t know. He’s probably either at the hospital or attending a seminar.”
Ji Linbai wasn’t surprised by her response.
In his memory, his parents’ relationship had always been formal; they respected each other but remained distant, treating one another like guests. His father rarely came home, dedicating almost all his time to medicine and frequently traveling.
The Ji family was known for its medical background, with many doctors, including Ji Minghui.
In contrast, his mother managed the family business in the capital, socializing, chatting with her sisters, and mingling with celebrities.
The winter day was short, and before they knew it, the sun had already begun to set.
Mrs. Ji wanted Ruan Chu to spend the night at the Ji residence to discuss the entertainment industry, but Ji Linbai noticed that Ruan Chu looked tired. He took the initiative to drive her back to the Gu family.
As Ruan Chu settled into the front passenger seat, she smiled. “Auntie Ji is so enthusiastic.”
Ji Linbai chuckled. “She’s a softie and likes you very much. If we end up together, we won’t have to worry about any mother-in-law and daughter-in-law tension.”
Though his words came out naturally, he tightened his grip on the steering wheel, feeling nervous.
Ruan Chu paused for a moment before replying with a smile, “Does that mean you want to be with me?”
When the traffic light turned green, the car stopped momentarily.
Ji Linbai turned to look at her. “I’ve always wanted to. Chuchu, I like you and want to marry you.”
Ruan Chu raised an eyebrow and rested her chin on her hand, her nails glimmering in the light. “But I haven’t had enough fun yet and don’t want to get married. What should I do?”
Seeing her openness, Ji Linbai felt a surge of joy. Maintaining a calm demeanor, he replied, “Then when you’re ready to settle down, come home with me, okay?”
