Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 661 - 659 Da Bao’s Birthday Gift (Part 2)

Over the past few years, Nuonuo has been well-protected by the Ji Family, especially Ji Dabao.

However, as she gradually came into contact with more people at school and formally joined a small music group formed by Teacher Fan, which performs in different places a few times a month, Nuonuo has grown from the timid little girl she used to be.

Her exceptionally beautiful appearance, which was often called "Little Dot" by the Ji Family from the age of ten to eleven, suddenly started to flourish like bamboo shoots after rain, shooting up from less than 1.4 meters to 1.6 meters in a year. With her delicate and strikingly beautiful facial features matched with a lanky figure, at first glance, she embodies the image of a slender and graceful adolescent girl.

This version of her made Ji Dabao even less at ease with her traveling around. Apart from when she is at school where he cannot accompany her, he must follow her wherever she goes.

Nuonuo is already eleven, but she has never tried going out to play with other classmates by herself. Wherever she goes, her tall and handsome brother is always there to accompany her. Even at every performance, Da Bao accompanies her.

Regarding her brother’s constant company, Nuonuo has grown accustomed to it and never found anything wrong, thus she never has the thought of rebellion.

So, when it comes to buying gifts for her brother, she never considers doing it secretly by herself.

As a result, Da Bao simply doesn’t appreciate her intentions, insisting that something she prepared herself would be more meaningful.

That night, Nuonuo hid in her room deep in thought, wanting to make a unique and special birthday gift for Da Bao. After thinking all night, Nuonuo mentally ticked off her limited list of ideas one by one. On the second night, still without any fruitful ideas, she aimlessly browsed through an online marketplace. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Believe it or not, she actually stumbled across something interesting.

That evening, as soon as Nuonuo finished her homework, she slyly slipped into her bedroom, saying she was tired and wanted to sleep early.

Da Bao found it strange because the little girl who usually clung to him like sticky candy after finishing her homework had a sudden change in behavior.

"Little Treasure, was your sister bullied?" Da Bao could only grab Little Treasure, who was responsible for protecting Nuonuo at school, to ask.

Little Treasure, who showed some signs of entering a rebellious phase, rolled his eyes and said, "Relax, nobody dares to bully her at school."

Little Treasure didn’t tell Da Bao that when Nuonuo was in fifth grade, a few jealous female classmates cornered her in the botanical garden behind the teaching building, but Nuonuo single-handedly threw all those girls who tried to bully her down to the ground. Since then, it seems those troublemaking classmates never dared to openly provoke Nuonuo again.

Of course, Little Treasure wouldn’t dare to tell Brother Dabao or their parents about this incident, otherwise, he would certainly be scolded for failing in his duties as a little bodyguard.

The clueless Da Bao still thought it was Little Treasure’s excellent protection of his sister, so he patted Little Treasure’s head approvingly.

"Brother knows, Little Treasure has always been protective of Sister."

Little Treasure didn’t dare to continue the conversation.

Da Bao turned his head to look at Nuonuo’s bedroom door, "Then why did she go to bed so early? Is she tired from too much homework?"

Little Treasure shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, "I don’t know either."

Actually, the little guy knew the reason, but he and Nuonuo had reached a confidentiality agreement, so he couldn’t reveal anything!

Seeing that he couldn’t get answers from Little Treasure, Da Bao, although a bit worried, didn’t press further.

On the first night, Da Bao assumed it was a special case, but things remained the same on the second night. By the third night, when Nuonuo once again said she was tired and wanted to go to bed early, Da Bao could no longer hold his composure, grabbing Nuonuo and pulling her directly into his arms.

"Nuonuo, are you hiding something from Brother?"

Da Bao had been observing her since school ended and felt that she seemed normal, chatting and smiling, eating with a good appetite, not at all appearing unhappy. She said she was tired, and he indeed saw faint signs of fatigue in her eyes.

But after all, she’s just a primary school student, how tired could she be?

"No..." Nuonuo seemed a bit evasive, her gaze wandering around the room.

"Look at me!"

Da Bao held her waist with one hand and used the other to lift her chin, forcing her to face him.

"Brother, really, there’s nothing! I’m just tired..." Nuonuo said, yawning largely.

"Why are you tired? Is there a lot of homework, or are exams coming and you have more studying to do?" Da Bao persisted, unwilling to be easily fooled.

"But Little Treasure seems quite relaxed!" Da Bao commented, glancing at Little Treasure who was sitting cross-legged on the carpet playing games.

"Brother, Little Treasure is a genius, he doesn’t need to study at all!"

Now, Nuonuo understands that her brother and little brother are geniuses; for them, studying has never been a difficulty, nothing more than casually glancing at something and remembering it easily.

But she isn’t like that!

Sometimes, she’ll wonder why, among her clever dad and mom’s three children, she ends up as the dim one?

No matter how hard she tries, her grades never exceed mid-level; her best attempt placed her tenth in the class. Compared to her brother and Little Treasure, who always secured first place, why is the gap so vast?!

Nuonuo’s words left Da Bao speechless.

"Brother, I’m really tired, I really want to sleep..." Nuonuo said, yawning again.

Despite having many questions swirling in his mind, seeing her genuinely exhausted appearance, Da Bao reluctantly refrained from asking more. He kissed her forehead, said goodnight, and released her.

"Little Treasure..."

With Nuonuo gone, Da Bao turned his focus back to Little Treasure.

Little Treasure lifted his eyelids and said nonchalantly, "Brother, Sister just seems tired; you should just let her sleep. Moreover, many girls in our class are entering puberty, perhaps Sister is too!"

Little Treasure’s offhand comment sent a jolt through Da Bao.

Puberty?

Nuonuo is only eleven, is puberty coming so soon? Impossible!

"How could it be? Little Treasure, stop talking nonsense!" Da Bao instinctively denied Little Treasure’s assertion.

"I don’t know if it’s nonsense, but there are indeed a few girls in our class who got boyfriends."

Little Treasure’s statement was indeed true; starting from fifth grade, three or four girls in their class began dating.

Of course, this kind of dating probably seemed like only playing house to adults, but to those little girls, it felt like genuine love.

Da Bao found it all quite hard to accept.

After all, he himself was seventeen and hadn’t experienced falling in love, how could Nuonuo at only eleven possibly be in love?

Although he clearly understood the situation Little Treasure described does happen, it shouldn’t include his innocent little sister, Nuonuo.
