Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 649 - 647: The Worried Trio (Second Update)

Basically, every parent has experienced their child’s rebellious phase during adolescence.

But Ji Rui and Le Tong, as parents, are quite lucky. During the age of thirteen or fourteen when it’s easiest to act up, Da Bao was so obedient and sensible that it made people’s hearts ache. Not only did he spare his parents the worries and headaches, but he also helped them solve various issues that came up during the growth of his younger brother and sister.

For example, when Little Treasure was in second grade, he secretly hit a boy from another class who talked to Nuonuo, driven by his protective instinct for his sister and the fact that he knew some martial arts.

After Da Bao found out, he sorted Little Treasure out and called him a boneheaded pig for only knowing how to solve problems by force. After scolding him, he didn’t hesitate to personally take Little Treasure to apologize. Yet, behind Little Treasure’s back, he scared the boy who got hit, warning him that if he ever had any ideas about Nuonuo again, the next beating would be worse.

In another instance, Nuonuo, that silly girl, was excluded by a small clique in her class after winning the first prize in a school music competition. Stressed by this, Da Bao had Xiao Li buy some little gifts that young girls would like for Nuonuo to give out. After doing it a couple of times, Nuonuo got along well with the clique.

Actually, Da Bao isn’t fond of such snobbish cliques, but his silly sister cares, so he had to win them over with gifts. Even if it’s fake friendship, as long as it makes the silly girl happy, he doesn’t mind maintaining some false appearances.

Similar seemingly trivial matters often happened to Little Treasure and Nuonuo, but Ji Rui and Le Tong, as parents, seldom had the chance to find out about them because the issues were perfectly resolved by Da Bao, the older brother.

Relatively, Nuonuo and Little Treasure’s reliance on Da Bao grew even larger.

Perhaps due to the siblings’ reliance, Da Bao didn’t choose to skip grades like he did in elementary and middle school, instead advancing gradually from sophomore year to senior year along with ordinary classmates.

In the second semester of senior year, even the prestigious school Da Bao attended installed an electronic screen on the third-floor level with a countdown timer. Every day as students carried their school bags up the stairs, they saw the time left until the college entrance exam decrease day by day, and the tension inevitably enveloped the entire floor.

Of course, such tension still didn’t affect Da Bao.

He was even like he was in elementary and middle school, completing all his assignments in class and never taking any academic matters home. After school, he dedicated his time fully to his younger brother and sister.

Da Bao, nearly fourteen years old, was already taller than Le Tong, who was 1.68 meters, probably reaching over 1.70 meters now. At this point, his appearance and demeanor could hardly reveal that he was just a teenager, and he was even taller than some of his male classmates.

Nuonuo, reading second grade at this time, had above average grades, while Little Treasure, despite advice from parents saying he could skip grades, chose to stay in the same class as Nuonuo.

Like Da Bao, he was very smart but quite mischievous, often acting like a hyperactive child during classes. However, even so, the first place in class remained reserved for him. Teachers always had mixed feelings of love and hate for him.

Although Nuonuo’s grades were average, she was a sensation in school because of her violin skills, and her increasingly beautiful and striking little face also made her, like her brother and sister, a well-known student in school.

Seven to eight-year-old girls are at the age of innocence and joy, without any guard against classmates.

Regarding this, Da Bao actually mentioned many times to Nuonuo that she should occasionally be more cautious and wary of other classmates, especially some ill-intentioned bad boys. But the little girl blinked her beautiful eyes and cheerfully said to Da Bao, "Older brother, all of Nuonuo’s classmates are good friends."

In her eyes, good friends will not betray her, let alone bully her.

Da Bao sighed secretly inside, understanding that he bore some responsibility for letting the little girl have such a wonderful misunderstanding. But she was still young, innocence and liveliness were the very nature of her age. He couldn’t demand that Nuonuo be like him—at a young age, see through everything clearly and thoroughly.

Da Bao had always been smart, be it academic matters or social affairs; he barely needed to ponder over them, often grasping things instantly.

However, the clearer one sees the world, the more easily they lose the joy of exploration.

Luckily, in Da Bao’s gradually dull life, heaven sent him first a sister, then a brother, and the presence of these adorable siblings made his life interesting and fulfilling again.

Thinking this way, Da Bao felt fortunate that the little girl’s personality was innocent and lively; otherwise, he would truly have no sense of existence as an older brother.

"Alright, brother knows now, Nuonuo’s classmates are all good friends." Da Bao indulgently pinched the little girl’s face, no longer forcing her to change her viewpoint.

Turning around, while Nuonuo went to the kitchen to get some desserts, Little Treasure snuggled up and said, "Brother, you don’t need to worry too much about Sister; isn’t there me watching over?"

Many times, Little Treasure wasn’t all that reliable, especially when playing around; he often ignored many things.

But in terms of protecting his sister, Little Treasure had always been very attentive. In any case, if he had activities after school, he would definitely bring Nuonuo along.

Yet, Nuonuo was completely unaware of her brother’s intention to protect her. Every day she obediently followed behind Little Treasure, fearing that his rebellious personality might cause trouble, so she, being the sister, had the responsibility to keep a watchful eye on him.

Naturally, parents and Da Bao wouldn’t try to reveal anything, allowing the little girl to embody this honorable sense of responsibility alongside Little Treasure like conjoined twins, basically inseparable at school.

Unknowingly, Nuonuo had been learning the violin for over three years. Just before Da Bao’s college entrance exams, she participated in the R City’s music competition. Initially, everyone only intended for her to gain some experience, but she went on stage after stage and eventually won the championship in the children’s violin category.

Le Tong and Ji Rui later discussed with Da Bao whether it would be better for Nuonuo to specialize in music.

After several days of deliberation, the trio still couldn’t reach a consensus, and ultimately, they decided to seek Teacher Fan’s advice.

"Mrs. Ji, Si Han is very hardworking, but she cannot be counted as a very talented child. I do not suggest she specialize in music now, after all, she is still young, and shouldn’t tread such a narrow path so early, risking missing out on many other possibilities."
