Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 606 - 604: The First Time Being Jealous (Second Update)

As the head of the family, Ji Rui said nothing after hearing Le Tong’s recounting. After all, he always listened to his wife when it came to family matters.

So, with Da Bao’s support, little Nuonuo stayed at home happily to accompany Little Treasure.

Da Bao, being the protective brother, felt naturally happy seeing Nuonuo cheerful every day, until one day, just before Little Treasure’s first birthday.

On the last day of the semester, Da Bao came home with his report card. As soon as he entered the door, he habitually looked for Nuonuo and Little Treasure.

Soon, he saw little Little Treasure moving slowly along the living room wall, while Nuonuo, with her two pigtails, spread her arms beside Little Treasure, chanting words of encouragement, "Little Treasure is so great! Little Treasure is amazing!"

Seeing his brother and sister, a smile appeared on Da Bao’s lips. He tiptoed to hang his backpack and turned his head towards the living room, shouting, "Nuonuo, Little Treasure, Brother is back!"

Upon hearing his voice, both Little Treasure and Nuonuo looked up, "Brother!" Nuonuo called loud and clear, her big eyes twinkling as she looked over, yet she stood motionless behind Little Treasure. It seemed that she was quite a reliable sister.

Little Treasure, like Nuonuo, adored his brother. But since he couldn’t speak yet, his most direct reaction upon seeing Da Bao was to rush over to him.

So, he moved his chubby little hands away from the wall, turned around, and raised his hands to walk toward Da Bao.

But he had only been walking for a few days, and his steps were not steady. Now, anxious to be embraced by his brother, he took a few wobbly steps before "thud"—he fell onto the floor with a thump.

With two kids at home, the carpet was thickly laid. Technically, falling should not hurt Little Treasure, so even when Da Bao saw Little Treasure’s aggrieved expression, he still calmly stood at the entrance changing his shoes, and said to Little Treasure, who was staring eagerly at him, "Little Treasure, be good, stand up on your own!"

But Nuonuo, being just over two years old and serving as her brother’s protective sister, rushed over anxiously upon seeing Little Treasure fall and hugged him, her small hands flusteredly feeling his little legs, as if fearing he might be hurt.

"Little Treasure, be good, let Sister blow, it won’t hurt..."

Consoled by Nuonuo like that, Little Treasure probably felt even more aggrieved because he thought his brother was ignoring him. He opened his mouth and began to cry loudly.

Startled by his cries, Nuonuo hurriedly pulled Little Treasure into her embrace, patting his back messily, "Little Treasure, be good, don’t cry..." She coaxed urgently, her little face uplifted with a pleading look towards Da Bao.

Being the brother, Da Bao understood that Little Treasure was merely seeking attention, but Nuonuo, the silly little girl, truly believed her brother was deeply hurt.

Da Bao shook his head helplessly and walked over in long strides to lift both his brother and sister.

If it weren’t for that pitiable look on Nuonuo’s face, he would definitely not have paid any attention to Little Treasure’s feigned crying. But now, if he didn’t, this silly little girl would surely burst into tears within two seconds.

"Alright, Little Treasure, don’t cry. You didn’t really fall, did you?"

Da Bao didn’t spoil Little Treasure less; however, as Little Treasure grew day by day, he began to notice the familiar mischievous genes and sly expression in this little fellow’s eyes.

Little Treasure had already stopped crying, fully expecting his brother to console him. But hearing his brother say this, he pouted and sniffed, seemingly ready to cry again.

Nuonuo wasn’t as clever as Da Bao and didn’t realize Little Treasure was vying for attention, nervously stretching out her hands towards him, "Little Treasure, don’t cry, Sister will hold you..."

Little Treasure snuggled in Nuonuo’s embrace, glancing sidelong at Da Bao, as if challenging or showing off, then Da Bao heard Little Treasure call out in a crying voice for the first time.

"Sister!"

Da Bao almost spat blood on the spot!

He couldn’t understand why he felt so stifled and unwilling—was it because he spent so much effort caring for this little brat, changing his diapers, feeding him, and even sleeping next to him, yet his first word was "sister" and not "brother"? Or was it for some other unknown reason?

Nuonuo, the silly girl, didn’t even comprehend the value of Little Treasure’s first "sister" and continued earnestly patting his back to soothe him.

Da Bao’s sulkiness was unnoticed by others but couldn’t escape his mother’s sharp eyes.

When Le Tong returned home from work, she noticed that her Da Bao, who usually tagged along behind his siblings, was now letting the two little ones crawl and play on the carpet while he sat quietly on the sofa, aimlessly switching TV channels with the remote.

"Da Bao, what’s wrong? Did the results not meet expectations?"

Le Tong casually plopped down beside Da Bao, wrapping her arm around his shoulders and rubbing her face against his cheek.

With little expression, Da Bao grunted, "First place!"

Le Tong was baffled, lifting her son’s chin to seriously examine him for a moment, "Then why is my beloved Da Bao not happy?"

At this moment, Da Bao’s expression was somewhat similar to that of his reticent father when he sulked.

Le Tong was even more puzzled. Her son had always been cheerful, showing no concern for those he didn’t care about, and always directly expressing his emotions to those he did. It was rare for him to be so silent, like swallowing a bitter pill but unable to spit it out despite knowing the bitterness inside.

Just then, a clear child’s voice rang in Le Tong’s ears, "Sister, Sister..."

Le Tong stood up with a start, looking towards the voice. There she saw her son and daughter lying side by side on the carpet, while Little Treasure, pulling at Nuonuo’s little face, repeated "Sister, Sister..."

Hearing her youngest son call someone for the first time, Le Tong excitedly pounced over to pick up Little Treasure, beaming with joy as she coaxed him, "Wow, Little Treasure can talk now! So amazing! Can you say Mommy?"

Little Treasure stretched out his plump little hand to poke Le Tong’s face, grinning at her before turning his head to look at Nuonuo, who was climbing up to kneel beside them, and clearly called out again. "Sister, Sister..."

Le Tong happily turned to flaunt to Da Bao, "Da Bao, did you hear that? Little Treasure can talk now! So great!"

She had no idea that her precious Da Bao had heard Little Treasure the earliest, and even less did she know that her precious Da Bao’s bitterness from swallowing a bitter pill was caused by his little brother’s first "sister"!

[This was probably Da Bao’s first bout of jealousy without realizing it. Indeed, this is the childhood story of Da Bao and Nuonuo, filled with innocent affection, and mischievous Little Treasure and astute Mommy’s divine interventions...]
