Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 660 - 658 Da Bao’s Birthday Gift (Part 1)

Ji Dabao was dismissive of the so-called truth spewed by Yin Zhihao.

Nuonuo was his precious sister; wasn’t it the most normal thing to treat her gently?

"Zhao Hao, you don’t have siblings, so you wouldn’t understand."

At this time, Dabao didn’t feel that there was anything inappropriate in his attitude toward Nuonuo. A brother being good to his sister is the most natural thing in the world.

"Alright, I really don’t understand."

Originally, Yin Zhihao’s last words were just offhand remarks. Although it was something he witnessed with his own eyes, as Dabao said, he had no siblings, so he truly didn’t understand the proper attitude and closeness between a brother and sister.

The result of Dabao openly showcasing the fact that "he’s taken" was that his ears got some peace for a few days. But this peaceful time didn’t last long, and soon several girls regrouped and launched a second wave of attacks on Dabao.

Which, in the eyes of other boys, was a huge blessing, but to Dabao, it seemed like a disaster.

So, aside from attending classes and unavoidable activities, Dabao basically wouldn’t hang around the school. He would arrive on time for class and leave immediately afterward.

This week, Le Tong had already seen Dabao at Ji Group for the third time and, always one to rarely interfere with his actions, couldn’t help but ask him.

"Dabao, does your school have so few classes?"

"Yeah, it’s quite relaxed."

Dabao, who was right next to Ji Rui’s computer watching him handle business affairs, answered honestly.

"Baby, you’re a college student now, you should participate in some club activities or something. Your daddy and I can handle Ji Group’s affairs."

The student council and several club leaders had indeed approached Dabao for discussions, but Dabao had no interest in those.

"I’m not interested!"

Dabao actually wanted to say that instead of wasting time on those boring things at school, it was more practical to learn some useful things here with his daddy and mommy.

However, he was afraid that saying this would prompt another round of education from his mommy, so he chose not to explain anything.

Seeing Le Tong seemed to want to say something, he added, "I prefer it this way."

Le Tong looked at him with a complex expression. If possible, she wished Dabao could live like most people of his age, carefree and without worry.

And not carrying the responsibilities of Ji Group’s eldest son, Nuonuo Xiaobao’s brother as he does now.

Dabao suddenly looked up and met Le Tong’s gaze.

In just that instant, he read all the worries in his mommy’s eyes.

"Silly mommy, what are you overthinking again?"

Dabao walked over, wrapped his arm around Le Tong’s shoulder, and gently patted her, coaxing her like he would with Nuonuo.

Le Tong nestled against him; unknowingly, the Dabao who used to cling to her waist and act coquettishly had grown into a boy with responsibilities.

"I’m not overthinking, I, like your daddy, just want you to be happy!"

"I’m very happy!" Dabao emphasized again.

Regarding Ji Dabao, who frequently visited Ji Group under the pretext of wandering but actually came to learn, Le Tong and Ji Rui ultimately couldn’t persuade him to change his mind, so in the end, the couple let him be.

As long as he was curious about something, the couple would teach him.

Gradually, Dabao began attending some business social events and even some collaboration meetings with Ji Rui and Le Tong.

When Dabao was fifteen and in his second year of college, he asked Ji Rui for a newly established subsidiary company, and Ji Rui assigned tasks to the subsidiary company according to normal procedures, which Dabao gladly accepted.

Thus, from his sophomore year, Dabao officially started a dual-track life of balancing studies and work.

Even with this, his studies weren’t affected at all, and during final exams, he still comfortably retained the top position.

In his senior year, at seventeen, Dabao spent two years turning the subsidiary company he took over into the one with the highest growth rate among all Ji Group’s subsidiaries.

By this time, Dabao had grown nearly ten centimeters taller, reaching over 1.8 meters, standing alongside his father without any disadvantage.

Whether from his appearance or demeanor, at seventeen, he had completely shed his youthful immaturity; instead, his every gesture displayed the aura and demeanor of someone with authority.

And by then, the forty-two-year-old Ji Rui still looked almost the same as when Le Tong first met him, and Le Tong, in her thirties, still retained the beautiful appearance of a young college student in her early twenties.

Often, when the couple went out with Dabao, people who didn’t know them mistaken them for siblings.

And that same year, his dear younger brother and sister smoothly moved up to sixth grade. However, it was always their Brother Dabao who handled pick-up and drop-off.

Nuonuo, at eleven, had grown increasingly lovely, standing at 1.6 meters, making her one of the tallest among her female classmates. But standing next to Brother Dabao, she seemed extremely petite.

With her backpack on, Nuonuo was holding Brother Dabao’s arm, acting coquettish.

"Brother, your birthday is coming up, accompany me to go shopping!"

It turned out the little girl wanted to pick out a birthday gift for Brother Dabao.

Before this, every year for his birthday, she would always hand-make small crafts or self-made birthday cards as gifts for Dabao.

Actually, she had quite a bit of allowance; she just never thought of using money to buy gifts for her brother. She always believed that things made with her heart best represented her sentiments.

But as she slowly grew up and heard about lots of extravagant birthday gifts from her classmates, thinking back to her somewhat crude handicrafts and not-so-beautiful birthday cards, she felt she had been too shabby in the past.

"Why go shopping? You can just make something for me!"

Compared to those birthday gifts that could be bought with money, Dabao preferred the ones Nuonuo made with her hands.

All those little crafts and birthday cards that seemed crude and shabby in Nuonuo’s eyes were all treasured and locked in a drawer by Dabao.

"But don’t you want some more sophisticated gifts, brother?"

Dabao rubbed Nuonuo’s head and said softly with a smile, "What gift bought anywhere could be more refined than something made by my little Nuonuo?"

Sitting in the car, Little Treasure, who was getting impatient from waiting, leaned on the window and shouted over.

"Ji Sihan, hurry up, I’m starving!"

Dabao raised his hand and unhesitatingly gave him a light knuckle to the head, "There’s food in the car, what are you shouting for!"

Little Treasure had recently started acting a bit impertinent, occasionally calling Nuonuo directly by her name when he was annoyed, often resulting in a scolding from either his brother or mommy.

"Let’s go, let’s go home. I don’t like what you’re buying!" Dabao emphasized again, opening the car door and pushing Nuonuo onto the car.

Nuonuo hesitated for a moment, but unable to resist Dabao’s insistence, she was half-pushed, half-assisted onto the car.
