Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 913 - 911: They’re Out of His League (Second Update)

Si Han and Tian Fang spent an entire afternoon at the shopping mall, and an exhausted Tian Fang teased Si Han, "What are you picking? Just let Young Master Yu buy the whole shopping mall!"

Si Han just smiled good-naturedly without saying anything.

That evening, it was Mr. Mai himself who came to pick up Si Han and Tian Fang.

Unaware, Si Han shyly said to Mr. Mai, "Uncle Mai, why are you here? Shouldn’t you be busy tonight?"

Mr. Mai smiled, holding onto the car door with one hand and gently supporting her waist with the other to help her into the car. Behind Si Han, Tian Fang also followed along, "Yeah, let the neighborhood pick us up. How can we trouble you!"

Mr. Mai could only say, "There’s other stuff to do at the neighborhood, and I wanted to get some air."

Could he not come out for some air? The assistant’s article that should have never seen the light of day almost messed up his upcoming cooperation with the Ji Family.

Indeed, after Mr. Ji and Young Master Ji fully joined the Ji Family, there were many new moves. Rumor has it that the Ji Family intends to enter the international luxury market, and in addition to being famous in fashion, Mr. Mai’s company is also well-known for luxury goods. Therefore, upon receiving the news released by the Ji Family, the headquarters immediately sent people to assist Mr. Mai in securing the cooperation with the Ji Family.

In charge of this project from the Ji Family was Mr. Ji.

It goes without saying that when Mr. Mai received the article forwarded by Mr. Ji, he almost fainted from anger on the spot!

He quickly called Mr. Ji, promising to take care of the matter himself, and then directly called the guy named Qu, suspending his pay and position, telling him to go home and rest!

At the time, Mr. Mai broke out in a cold sweat, secretly glad that the article hadn’t seen the light of day. Otherwise, not only would the guy named Qu be unable to handle the consequences, but Mr. Mai himself couldn’t afford the huge loss.

After all, who wouldn’t be upset if their own daughter was speculated to be a goddaughter? Especially for such a wealthy and influential family like the Ji Family?

Of course, Mr. Mai didn’t know that Si Han really wasn’t the biological daughter of the Ji Family, or he’d be even more anxious.

Mr. Mai took Si Han and Tian Fang to a hotel to attend a company banquet, where he introduced Si Han to many rising fashion designers and famous models.

In such settings, drinking is unavoidable, especially for a model like Si Han who isn’t exactly a huge star.

Yet, Mr. Mai oddly shielded the beauty beside him from numerous drinks, being overtly protective, making it clear to everyone present that Si Han was not someone they could afford to offend.

Naturally, the way Si Han was treated aroused envy and resentment from many popular models present. However, their agents coincidentally received messages from Mr. Mai in the afternoon, advising them to manage their clients properly and avoid curiosity about matters they shouldn’t gossip about.

Ji Dabao arrived to pick up Nuonuo before the banquet ended. Though Dabao didn’t have an invitation, Mr. Mai personally went out to bring him in.

The female supermodels present couldn’t help but be drawn to the tall, stylish, and extraordinarily charming man, whose attractive face and powerful aura surpassed even the male models present, and swarmed towards Mr. Mai and Dabao like iron attracted to a strong magnet.

For this group of women gathering rapidly around him and Mr. Mai, Dabao didn’t pay them any mind. Since childhood, he knew how to fend off wave after wave of pesky admirers pursuing his father, and although he may not be the best, he was certainly skilled at undermining the self-esteem of these vain women.

"Miss, your facial features and skin tone aren’t suitable for nude makeup!" Dabao smiled at the first model attempting to chat him up.

This model had an excellent physique, but unfortunately, her skin color and condition were quite poor, and her facial features left much to be desired. Her usual criticism revolved around these aspects, so when Dabao directly pointed it out, she was furious.

Just as she was about to confront Dabao, Mr. Mai shot her a harsh glare, signaling that even if she had steam to vent, she should obediently swallow it!

Seeing the proud, shapely model defeated, the second one with good looks confidently approached, "Sir, I’m called Xiao Xin. May I know your name?"

Dabao’s lips curved upward, something others interpreted as him being in a great mood. However, Si Han, not far away, recognized it as the precursor to mischief.

"Miss, are you over twelve years old? Sorry, I’m not interested in underage girls!"

Clearly, he was insinuating that her figure was underdeveloped.

In fact, many models are rather thin, and to ordinary eyes, this one seemed skin and bones.

This woman who called herself Xiao Xin was smiling brightly moments ago, but now her face turned as dark as coal, yet due to Mr. Mai’s warning gaze, she could only leave indignantly.

Mr. Mai truly learned how sharp-tongued Mr. Ji was, and dared not let him taunt his models any further.

After all, to encounter a stunning model like Si Han, with her physique, appearance, and aura, is a rare occurrence. Given Mr. Ji’s venomous tongue, any model critiqued by him wouldn’t regain confidence easily. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Thinking about this, Mr. Mai raised his voice towards the women still gathering around Mr. Ji, "Why are you all gathered around me? Go do what you should be doing. If you’re really that idle, I’ll have an extra rehearsal show for you right now."

Mr. Mai truly feared that if Mr. Ji continued his unchecked teasing, tomorrow’s show would have to be carried solo by Si Han!

These women, all perceptive and listening keenly, understood from Mr. Mai’s stern words that this stylish, commanding handsome man was out of their league.

Though unwilling, the models obediently backed away, even as they tried hard to catch the handsome man’s attention with their eyes, they watched with envy, resentment, and awe as he strode confidently through the pathway they’d cleared for him, ignoring their intense stares.

Then they watched with renewed jealousy and admiration as this stunningly handsome man stopped in front of Si Han, pulled her close, and lightly kissed her forehead in front of everyone.
