Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 616 - 614: Just Like His Old Man (Fifth Update)
The issue of sending Da Bao to boarding school ended up unresolved, as both Le Tong and Da Bao knew it was just something Ji Rui said in desperation.
Not to mention Le Tong and Da Bao’s wishes, even asking Nuonuo and Little Treasure, they would certainly not agree.
With Da Bao’s ninth birthday approaching, Le Tong and Ji Rui asked him how he wanted to celebrate it. Without thinking, Da Bao turned to ask his brother and sister.
"Nuonuo Xiaobao, where do you want to play?"
"Play with brother..." Little Treasure and Nuonuo’s answers were surprisingly unanimous. In their eyes, as long as they’re playing with their brother, anywhere is fun.
Le Tong thought that nowadays, children like to invite classmates over for a birthday party at home. She had heard the driver say Da Bao got along well with his classmates, and coincidentally, Da Bao’s birthday fell on a Saturday this year, allowing for a good time.
"Da Bao, how about having a party at home and inviting your classmates over to play?"
Only then did Da Bao remember that Yin Zhihao and others had indeed mentioned celebrating his birthday, even suggesting hosting a party at McDonald’s.
"Let me think about it..."
The next day at school, Yin Zhihao and the others brought it up again, even bringing their pocket money to school, intending to pool their money to host a party to celebrate Da Bao’s birthday.
Da Bao didn’t want them to waste money, and finally decided to have a small party at home.
Le Tong and Ji Rui, of course, supported Da Bao unconditionally and immediately instructed someone to prepare for the birthday party.
Originally, Da Bao only told a few good male friends about the party at home, but on the birthday itself, more than a dozen boys and girls arrived, including Shao Yuxin.
Ever since Shao Yuxin said Nuonuo doesn’t resemble Da Bao, Da Bao became even colder towards her. When they met, he’d at most nod, no matter what Shao Yuxin said to him, he’d respond perfunctorily with "uh-huhs." After some days, she probably noticed his coldness and stopped bothering him as much.
So, seeing Shao Yuxin among the crowd surprised Da Bao.
This resilient girl was starting to give Da Bao a headache.
"Ji Yu, happy birthday!"
A chaotic crowd of kids rushed into the yard, the congratulatory voices making Da Bao dizzy, and he began to secretly plan how to teasingly matchmake Yin Zhihao and Shao Yuxin to prevent future troubles.
Little Treasure and Nuonuo initially followed Da Bao out to greet the guests, but soon the cute siblings were surrounded by boys and girls asking to pinch cheeks or asking for hugs, almost stealing Da Bao’s spotlight in the lively yard.
Little Treasure wasn’t shy, surrounded by a few girls pinching his cheeks, his big eyes spinning as he glanced at them, but shy Nuonuo pulled on her brother’s pants, hiding silently behind Da Bao.
Le Tong came out with Aunt Guan and Aunt Wang to help greet the young guests. In the yard, they put up a few umbrellas, under which several tables were set up with various snacks, drinks, pastries, and fruits.
Seeing Nuonuo pulling on Da Bao, Le Tong walked over intending to hold her, "Nuonuo, shall mommy take you to swing?"
But Nuonuo clung tightly to Da Bao’s leg and shook her head fervently, "Nuonuo wants brother!"
Le Tong tried to persuade her, but Da Bao bent over and picked her up, "Mommy, you go handle things, I’ll hold her."
Compared to Nuonuo’s shyness and timidity, Little Treasure was already leading some boys and girls to the dog and cat kennel area to see the pets.
"Ji Yu, what’s your sister’s name? She’s so cute, like a doll!"
Yin Zhihao leaned in, reaching out to pinch Nuonuo’s face, but Da Bao worried he’d pinch too hard and hurt Nuonuo, so he gently pushed him away.
"Ji Sihan."
"Little Han, sister will take you to play on the slide, okay?" Shao Yuxin, trailing behind Yin Zhihao, extended her arms to Nuonuo, pretending to pick her up.
Nuonuo glanced at her strangely, then turned and buried her head in Da Bao’s chest, tightly holding his neck while softly murmuring, "Want brother!"
Da Bao patted her back to comfort her, "Hmm, Nuonuo’s good, brother’s holding you."
Shao Yuxin awkwardly smiled and withdrew her hands, "Ji Yu, your sister really clings to you."
Da Bao ignored her and pointed to the umbrella area, "Zhihao, take them over there to play, I’ll make some milk powder for my sister."
Actually, this was just his excuse to get rid of Shao Yuxin.
Yin Zhihao laughed ignorantly and familiarly led a group of classmates to one side of the yard.
Returning indoors holding Nuonuo, Le Tong had witnessed everything and quickly prepared a bottle of milk to pass to Da Bao.
"Da Bao, that girl from before, you seem not to like her?"
Le Tong’s intuition was usually accurate. She saw strong admiration in the girl’s eyes, but in contrast, saw distaste and aversion in her precious son’s eyes.
"Annoying!" Da Bao didn’t hide his dislike for Shao Yuxin.
"What did she do to you?" Le Tong asked curiously.
Long ago, she had imagined that a boy like Da Bao, good-looking, optimistic, with a sweet mouth, might be pursued by many girls as he grew older.
Back then, she worried whether her son would become a heartbreaker due to his favorable conditions.
But seeing his attitude toward that girl earlier, it seemed her son was just like his dad in romance—dedicated and persistent.
"She didn’t do anything, just very annoying!"
Da Bao generally didn’t talk bad about people, except for occasionally prank teasing his dad, he rarely mentioned outsiders negatively to mommy.
Le Tong considered the girl’s behavior, implicitly understood it must be her excessive overtures that annoyed her son, but found it inappropriate to overly interfere with his social interactions.
"I’ll watch Nuonuo, you go entertain them."
Da Bao was protective of his sister, with her following him, he had no thought of socializing with other classmates.
He seemed to realize this, thought for a moment, and obediently handed Nuonuo over to Le Tong.
Nuonuo wasn’t very happy being moved to Le Tong’s arms, but Le Tong ignored her, carried her upstairs.
Once upstairs, Le Tong looked down at the little girl in her arms, "Nuonuo, do you not like brother’s classmates?"
Though shy, Nuonuo rarely reacted so strongly to other people’s contact.
Nuonuo squirmed a bit in her arms, took a long time before looking up to softly tell Le Tong, "Don’t like sister!"
Le Tong paused, "Which sister?"
Nuonuo pouted, "Brother’s sister..."
Le Tong instantly understood, this little girl didn’t like the girl who tried to pick her up!
