Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 633 - 631: Brother and Her Highness the Princess (Part 1)
After Little Treasure got a beating from Da Bao, he behaved for quite a while, and Nuonuo, she never blamed Little Treasure at all, in fact, she never even thought ill of Little Treasure.
In her innocent and trusting little mind, the crab incident was just because she was clumsy, and it had nothing to do with her adorable brother.
Of course, Nuonuo’s little head couldn’t possibly imagine that the Ji Family had secretly undertaken a minor punishment as a major warning for Little Treasure.
The next morning, as the little girl crawled out of the covers, the first thing she did upon opening her eyes was to ask sleepily while rubbing her eyes, "Where’s Little Treasure?"
Da Bao leaned over and kissed her, "Silly Nuonuo, Little Treasure slept with Daddy and Mommy last night, remember?"
Da Bao smiled as he explained and quickly tied two small pigtails for her with a rubber band.
"Good morning, little princess!"
"Good morning, Brother Da Bao!" The little princess puckered her lips and kissed Brother Da Bao on his pursed lips.
After the kiss, the little girl rolled off the bed before Da Bao could react, Nuonuo already ran barefoot towards the door, "Brother, I’m going to wake Little Treasure up, we’re going to be late..."
Da Bao quickly caught up to her and scooped her up, "Silly, it’s a holiday today."
"Oh... right..." The little girl belatedly realized and raised her injured hand as if wanting to scratch her head, but Da Bao quickly caught her hand by her head.
"Does your hand still hurt?"
"A little bit..." Nuonuo, probably not wanting Da Bao to worry, smiled and made a small gesture with her fingers.
Da Bao carried Nuonuo into the washroom, placed her on a stool, squeezed toothpaste onto a toothbrush, and held it out to Nuonuo’s mouth.
Nuonuo wanted to take the toothbrush, but Da Bao gestured for her to open her mouth, "Let Brother help you brush."
Nuonuo’s right thumb, index, and middle fingers were injured, bandaged, making it inconvenient to hold a toothbrush.
"Thank you, Brother!" Nuonuo sweetly flashed Da Bao a smile and obediently opened her mouth. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Helping Nuonuo brush her teeth was something Da Bao was already adept at. He held the little girl’s chin with one hand and the toothbrush with the other, brushing her teeth with just the right amount of pressure and great patience.
"Alright, it’s all clean! Let me see if they’re white?"
The little girl showed her teeth for Da Bao to inspect, and upon receiving a positive answer, she kissed Da Bao’s face, "Thank you, Brother Master!"
The title of Brother Master wasn’t Nuonuo’s invention, but that of Little Treasure, the little rascal, though both kids would occasionally call Da Bao that when they were in a good mood.
"So, does Her Highness the Princess have any other commands?"
After helping her wash her face, Da Bao lovingly placed a warm towel on Nuonuo’s face, her face was small, and the towel covered her little face completely.
"Nothing else!" Nuonuo swiftly pulled off the towel and playfully winked at Da Bao, her innocent and bright smile so dazzling that it left Da Bao momentarily dazed...
"Brother Master, Nuonuo wants to eat wontons." Her Highness the Princess buried her face in Da Bao’s neck, acting spoiled.
"Okay, I’ll go make some." Da Bao agreed quickly, placing Nuonuo on the sofa, then turned to check the kitchen for any missing ingredients.
"Nuonuo will help Brother!" Nuonuo held onto his arm with a face full of anticipation.
The Ji Family had an unspoken rule, making wontons was Da Bao’s job, and baking cakes was President Ji’s job.
As for Nuonuo and Little Treasure, they were the little helpers.
Of course, rather than calling them helpers, it was more accurate to call them troublemakers. However, neither Ji Dabao nor President Ji cared much about how the wontons and cakes actually turned out; they valued the happy, cooperative process and fun of completing a task together as a family.
"Nuonuo’s hand is hurt today, no need to help." Da Bao turned and placed Nuonuo back onto the sofa.
"But..." Poor Nuonuo still wanted to help; in her view, although Brother’s wontons were delicious, making wontons with Brother and Little Treasure was also fun and enjoyable.
Da Bao put away his smile, "Be good, Nuonuo, and I’ll make them."
"Alright then..." Nuonuo looked down in dejection.
Soon, Aunt Guan helped prepare the filling and wonton wrappers, and Da Bao brought out the wonton wrappers and filling and placed them on the coffee table.
Little Treasure, who had already gotten up, rolled up his sleeves, ready to join the wonton-making team, while Nuonuo remained slumped in the sofa, silent, only looking at Da Bao with her big, dark eyes.
In the end, Da Bao’s heart softened, catching a glance at Little Treasure, who was kneeling on the carpet, ready to start.
"Little Treasure, do you want to have a contest with Brother to see who can make more?"
"Sure!" Little Treasure raised his little hand eagerly, his bright eyes full of smiles; it was clear the little guy had completely forgotten about Brother Da Bao spanking his little bottom.
Da Bao looked at Nuonuo, "Nuonuo, how about you be the scorekeeper?"
Upon hearing she could join, Nuonuo instantly perked up. She quickly straightened up, just like a wilted flower suddenly seeing the sun, now animated and lively.
"Great! Nuonuo will be the scorekeeper."
In a real competition, Little Treasure certainly couldn’t beat Da Bao, but Da Bao was never concerned about the competition’s outcome. He deliberately slowed down to match Little Treasure’s snail-like pace.
And Little Treasure, not only made them slowly but also made them ugly.
Even Nuonuo, who usually defended Little Treasure as the scorekeeper, couldn’t help but wrinkle her nose and tease Little Treasure.
"Brother, yours are so ugly!"
Little Treasure didn’t care about how ugly they were; he just wanted to win against Brother Da Bao.
Little Treasure impatiently glanced at Nuonuo, visibly annoyed, "Oh, Sister, you’re so noisy. As long as they taste good, who cares if they’re ugly..."
Da Bao tapped Little Treasure’s head with his finger, and Little Treasure yelped, covering his head.
"Those who make them nice can go to the amusement park with Brother and Sister in the afternoon, while those who make them poorly will have to bathe White and Little Bai at home." Da Bao added an extra condition.
Originally, Da Bao only considered this a fun activity and didn’t mind them being ugly, but seeing Little Treasure’s disdain, he couldn’t help but change the rules.
Little Treasure was a clever kid; his wontons were so ugly just because he was too focused on speed. After hearing what Brother said, he grumbled that Brother Da Bao was mean, but his little hands slowed down, imitating Da Bao’s movements to make well-shaped, plump wontons.
An hour later, scorekeeper Nuonuo announced the results: By quantity, Brother Da Bao won; by appearance, Brother Da Bao and Little Treasure were tied!
The three brothers happily enjoyed a wonton feast at home, and in the afternoon, a driver took them to the amusement park where they played all afternoon until the sun set. Their parents, who had been busy at work all day, picked up the three children at the amusement park and went to a seaside restaurant for a seafood feast.
