Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 632 - 630 Keep the Secret (Third Update)

Le Tong and Ji Rui took Nuonuo to the hospital, had the doctor re-treat her wound, and gave her a tetanus shot before the family of five returned home together.

Little Treasure was carried to the master bedroom to sleep by Le Tong and Ji Rui, having been beaten by Brother Dabao. Surprisingly, Little Treasure didn’t dare to complain this time. It wasn’t until Le Tong helped him bathe, peeled off his pants to see his red behind, that she questioned him for a long time, and he finally mumbled, "It was Brother Dabao..."

Le Tong felt strange. Dabao’s love for Little Treasure and Nuonuo had made Ji Rui, as a father, feel envious countless times. How could he bear to hit Little Treasure so hard now?

"Why did your brother hit you?"

Little Treasure, knowing he was in the wrong, looked down and told the story of Sister Nuonuo’s injury and how Brother Dabao had hit him.

Although Le Tong felt Dabao’s action was a bit harsh, when she thought about how pitiful Nuonuo looked, she also felt that Little Treasure indeed deserved it and wasn’t worthy of sympathy.

"Do you think your brother was right to hit you?"

Little Treasure nodded, admitting his mistake gloomily, "Yes, it was my fault. Brother said, Little Treasure is a man, and should protect Sister instead of bullying her."

Le Tong patted the little fellow’s head, said no more, helped him finish bathing, instructed Ji Rui to apply some ointment to the little one’s behind, took clothes, and turned into the bathroom to bathe.

While Little Treasure was bathing, the bathroom door was open, and Ji Rui heard every word of the conversation between mother and son.

"Little Treasure, lie down obediently."

Little Treasure responded, "Oh," tossed aside his undies, and lay obediently on the bed. He thought his Daddy would surely scold him because, in his perception, Daddy was the strictest and fiercest person in the house.

Who would have thought that Ji Rui would merely apply the ointment silently, let his behind air for a while, then dress him, tuck him in, and cover him with the quilt.

"Sleep, baby." Ji Rui gently kissed his face.

Usually, Little Treasure would fall asleep instantly upon getting into bed, but now he pulled at the quilt and blinked at Ji Rui a few times.

"Daddy..." the little one called softly.

Ji Rui propped himself up on the bed, looking at him, "Hmm? Little Treasure, do you have something on your mind?"

Little Treasure was still worried Daddy would scold him, even though he was already very tired. He rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand, forced himself to stay awake, and said, "Daddy, Baobao won’t dare to bully Sister again..."

Silently, Ji Rui gave his elder son a thumbs-up in his heart. This slap was right on target!

However, after hitting a child, you still have to give them a candy to comfort them.

"Hmm, Little Treasure knows he was wrong, and that’s the best kind of child."

Receiving Daddy’s affirmation, Little Treasure finally relaxed, and as soon as he did, his eyelids began to droop involuntarily.

Ji Rui smiled and kissed Little Treasure’s little cheek, "Goodnight, baby!"

"Is he asleep?" Le Tong emerged from the bathroom, wiping her wet hair with her head tilted.

"Hmm."

Ji Rui reached out, dimmed the bedside lamp, took the hairdryer, and led Le Tong to the outside living room.

"Dabao was pretty ruthless! I thought he wouldn’t lay a finger on Little Treasure and Nuonuo!" Le Tong said to Ji Rui, who was helping blow-drying her hair.

"Dabao is much more competent at being a father than I am!" Ji Rui sighed once more.

"That’s because he knows Little Treasure and Nuonuo better than both you and me. In fact, he’s very afraid Little Treasure might repeat his own childhood mistakes. Despite his harshness today, he actually loves Little Treasure more than anyone else." Le Tong understood the children’s personalities just as well.

Le Tong’s words triggered many not-so-pleasant memories for Ji Rui, prompting him to sigh lightly, "Little Treasure won’t, because he has so many people to love and protect him."

Even now, Ji Rui still felt guilty toward Dabao.

Although Dabao’s personality was cheerful, he still loved to act spoilt when around Le Tong, but Ji Rui knew his prematurely mature character had set in at a young age. Even if circumstances later allowed him to be innocent, carefree, and a regular child, he had already developed into a calm, mature personality like an adult.

For instance, now, at just ten years old, originally an age for wild play and craziness, he had consciously taken up the responsibility of taking care of his younger siblings to alleviate his parents’ burden, being even more competent in front of the younger siblings than them.

Both Little Treasure and Nuonuo equally trusted Brother Dabao.

"Speaking of which, our Nuonuo and Little Treasure have actually been raised by Dabao, so when Dabao truly becomes a father himself, he might feel like he’s actually becoming a grandfather."

Clearly, Le Tong and Ji Rui were thinking about the same thing.

And that beloved and highly praised Dabao was now quietly chatting with Nuonuo in the nursery on the first floor.

Fearful that Nuonuo might get a fever after hearing the doctor’s words, Dabao had declared that he would watch over her tonight as soon as she finished bathing. Even though Le Tong, the mother, offered to accompany Nuonuo, Dabao insisted on staying by her side to take care of her.

"Brother, why isn’t Little Treasure sleeping with Nuonuo?"

When Dabao beat Little Treasure, Xiao Li carried Nuonuo quite far away, so she didn’t know her brother had beaten Little Treasure for her.

Dabao knew well that Nuonuo had a kind heart, and he also knew she loved Little Treasure deeply, so thereafter he spoke nothing of the incident.

"Little Treasure is too rambunctious while sleeping, and Mommy is afraid he might accidentally bump into Nuonuo’s hand, so Little Treasure is sleeping with Daddy and Mommy tonight."

Nuonuo had been used to sleeping with Little Treasure since she was little. Now it seemed strange to her, as she climbed back out to look at the specially made super large bed beneath her.

"But this bed is really big!"

Dabao tucked her puzzled face back into the quilt, leaned close to her ear, and pretended to be mysterious.

"Nuonuo, shall I tell you a secret?"

Nuonuo was instantly attracted, "What secret? Nuonuo wants to hear!"

"Actually, Little Treasure wants to sleep with Mommy, so he sneakily asked Mommy for it, claiming his little butt hurt and he wanted to sleep with Mommy."

Dabao was prepping Nuonuo, in case Little Treasure complained, this silly girl might resent him, her brother, for being ruthless!

Nuonuo immediately looked worried, "Is Little Treasure’s butt really hurting?"

Dabao chuckled, "Of course not, he just wants to sleep with Mommy."

Nuonuo blinked, "Daddy doesn’t know?"

In her and Little Treasure’s knowledge, they always thought if they asked to sleep with Mommy, Daddy would be unhappy, so both she and Little Treasure preferred sleeping with Brother Dabao.

"Daddy surely doesn’t know! Nuonuo has to help Little Treasure keep the secret okay?" Dabao solemnly extended his little pinky.

Nuonuo nodded, extended her pinky, and hooked it with Dabao!
