Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 657 - 655: Having a Brother is Enough (First Update)

Chapter 657: Chapter 655: Having a Brother is Enough (First Update)

"No, no! Nuonuo doesn’t want a boyfriend, Nuonuo has Brother, and that’s enough."

Nuonuo reacted fiercely, shaking her head vigorously a few times, then stared hard at Da Bao with eyes that were faintly red.

Although this was just a simple statement from a little girl who was not yet worldly, it couldn’t really hold any weight.

But when Da Bao heard it, he inexplicably felt a sense of relief. The slight awkwardness and discomfort he had felt earlier instantly dissipated completely.

He thought, perhaps he was like other fathers, worrying endlessly about this little girl from a young age, so just thinking about her possibly getting closer to another man than to himself one day was unsettling. Moreover, thinking further, if the little princess he had cherished since childhood truly belonged to another man one day, it would be normal to feel reluctant and deeply hostile—it was no strange thing.

"Alright, no boyfriend if you don’t want one..." Da Bao gently rubbed Little Curly Hair’s head, softly comforting the little princess he had upset.

Little Curly Hair was soothed and immediately wrapped her arms tightly around Da Bao’s arm, silently pressing her face against his bare skin.

That possessive posture, as if afraid her brother would be taken away, was bewildering to Yin Zhihao and Ren Weiqi who overheard the siblings’ conversation, though they couldn’t pinpoint exactly why it felt so strange.

Clearly, it was just a normal posture of a sister snuggling with her brother, but somehow it carried an intimate undertone reminiscent of young lovers cuddling together.

As for Da Bao, he was completely unaware that his two best friends inexplicably saw him and his sister in such a light. He simply continued to gently stroke Nuonuo’s head as usual.

After finding what seemed to be a reasonable explanation for his inexplicable feelings, he was entirely at ease with his discomfort at the thought of Nuonuo’s future boyfriend, no longer making a fuss about it.

"Young Master Yu, does your mom want to know if she should prepare dinner for your two classmates?"

Xiao Li, sitting in the front, lowered the partition to ask Da Bao.

Da Bao didn’t mind and turned to ask the two in the back for their opinions. Both said they hadn’t seen their families for half a month and wanted to go home for dinner early.

They had two days off ahead, so they agreed to visit the Ji Family the day after next in the evening.

During the journey, Little Treasure was remarkably well-behaved, quietly playing his game the whole time.

At first, Da Bao didn’t think much of it, but it was only halfway through the trip that he noticed the little guy’s abnormality.

That’s strange! Usually, this little guy is no different from Nuonuo when he sees me, always wanting to hug or kiss, so why is he so quiet today?

Da Bao was already sitting between the two little ones, so he extended his hand to ruffle the little guy’s hair and asked with a smile.

"Little Treasure, why so quiet? Haven’t you missed Brother these days?"

Little Treasure finally looked up but cast his gaze past Da Bao to glance askew at Nuonuo, who was snuggled tightly against Da Bao.

"Of course, I missed you! How could Little Treasure not miss Brother? No one was there to train with Little Treasure these days!"

Da Bao slightly lowered his head and rubbed his chin against Little Treasure’s forehead.

"Then why are you only focused on playing games and ignoring Brother? Are you upset?"

Though Da Bao asked this, he knew in his heart this was unlikely.

Little Treasure, this guy, had a big heart, and it wasn’t easy to make him hold a grudge or get mad.

Sure enough, after hearing Da Bao’s guess, the little guy disdainfully pouted.

"I’m giving way to Sister..."

Da Bao’s mind turned slightly, and he immediately understood what the little guy meant.

"Sister hasn’t smiled much these days!" Little Treasure quickly added in a low voice, fearing his Brother Da Bao might not understand.

Da Bao chuckled, not that it was something worth being particularly joyful about, but his mood inexplicably improved.

"Alright, tonight Brother will practice a few more rounds with you."

"Mhm!" Little Treasure replied, then lowered his head to continue playing his game, and those who didn’t understand him would just think he was lost in his game.

But Da Bao knew the little guy’s true intention was to give him more time to spend with Nuonuo.

"Brother, is military training hard? You’ve gotten darker and thinner!"

The little girl, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke up.

"Wow, Nuonuo, your eyesight is really sharp, you even noticed your brother got thinner and darker?"

From the back seat, Yin Zhihao, resting his hand on the seat back, leaned forward to chat.

Da Bao backhanded him in the face, forcing his head back hard.

"Do you think everyone’s like you, staring with big eyes yet practically blind?"

Yin Zhihao scratched his head with a cheeky grin, wanting to say something else, but Little Treasure, still engrossed in his game, chimed in without looking up.

"Brother Zhihao, messing up someone’s good thing will shorten your life!"

Little Treasure’s words piqued the curiosity of the two boys in the back seat, making them ask in unison, "Hey, whose good thing did I/he mess up?"

Da Bao, however, just laughed and patted Little Treasure’s head, "What nonsense are you spouting, you little brat?!"

Of course, at this point, Little Treasure didn’t quite grasp the concept of the "good thing" he mentioned. He just knew that Sister always stuck close to Brother, and after so many days apart, Sister surely wanted to have Brother all to herself for a little while longer. So he sensibly gave the chance to Sister.

But as for Brother Zhihao, he just had to interrupt Brother and Sister—either he wasn’t afraid of dying, or he was just clueless.

Little Treasure ignored his brother’s threat and continued playing his game intently.

Evidently, even Little Treasure’s intelligence surpassed that of Yin Zhihao and Ren Weiqi. Despite Little Treasure’s reminder, they remained oblivious and continued to engage Da Bao with random topics.

Da Bao juggled his attention, chatting with Nuonuo along the way, occasionally responding to the two in the back, until Xiao Li dropped off Yin Zhihao and Ren Weiqi at their homes, and the car finally fell completely silent.

"Brother, how do you tolerate Brother Zhihao being so noisy for so long?"

Little Treasure leaned back and exhaled deeply.

Da Bao didn’t respond to his complaint, instead, he fetched two boxes of milk from the storage compartment and handed them to Nuonuo and Little Treasure.

"Hungry? Have some milk first."

The two obediently took the milk, inserted straws, and started sipping away.

"Brother, is the army camp fun?"

Little Treasure, being a boy, naturally had different concerns compared to Nuonuo.

Da Bao nodded. In any case, those ten days of military training might have been tough to others, but to Da Bao, it felt more like a game, passing challenges; each day felt like conquering a new hurdle.

He didn’t stay long in the military camp, but he certainly learned a lot.

These weren’t specific, visible projects one could talk about; rather, it was more about honing mindset and maturity growth.
