Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 664 - 662: The Best Gift! (Second Update)

Nuonuo nodded awkwardly, "Mm."

Da Bao was so happy that he lost a bit of composure, but when he looked at the intricate lines on the embroidery, he suddenly remembered something. He quickly grabbed the little girl’s hand, and his face went dark.

He saw that each of the little girl’s ten white and tender fingertips was covered with little red marks. Needless to say, it must have happened while she was doing the embroidery.

"Ji Sihan, don’t tell me your hands got like this from needle pricking?!" Ji Dabao practically shouted, as if each prick was stabbing his own heart.

At that moment, Ji Dabao felt a mix of emotions!

On the one hand, he was happy that the little girl had worked so hard to make him such a precious birthday gift!

On the other hand, his heart ached for her having suffered so much for this gift!

For a moment, he even hated himself for being so particular. Couldn’t he just buy a gift from the street? Why did he have to insist on having the little girl make him a birthday gift by hand!

Well now, he had the gift, but his darling sister’s hands were full of pinholes, and she had endured this for so many days. Seeing those dark circles on her small face, Da Bao almost wanted to slap himself.

Nuonuo originally hoped for Da Bao’s approval, but now, after his shout, her eyes were filled with fear, "Brother..."

Her long eyelashes blinked twice, not daring to look at Da Bao with his dark face, she slowly averted her eyes and retreated towards Le Tong’s embrace.

"Ji Yu, what do you mean by this? Nuonuo worked so many days to make you this birthday gift, and you didn’t even thank her, just shouted at her?!"

Le Tong shouted back loudly. She was protective, but she never played favorites among her three children. After learning the truth when sending Nuonuo to school that day, she kept it a secret from her eldest son just to give Da Bao a surprise.

But now, there was the surprise, yet no joy at all!

She had often felt lucky that her precious sons weren’t as oblivious as their father.

Looking at it now, they’re likely just like him!

Da Bao, yelled at by his mom, snapped back to his senses and realized he had been too focused on feeling sorry for Nuonuo and forgot to consider her effort to make him happy.

"Nuonuo, I’m sorry..." Da Bao took a step forward, reaching out to embrace Nuonuo.

Nuonuo glanced at him in panic, instinctively shrinking further into Le Tong’s arms.

It’s no wonder Nuonuo was so confused, in her memory, since she grew up, Brother Dabao had always spoken to her gently. Yelling at her like this seemed to be a first.

Da Bao clearly saw the tears in the little girl’s eyes, his heart twisting with pain, silently cursing himself, deserved it!

"Nuonuo, when I saw your hands like this, I was so heartbroken, I couldn’t control myself and spoke too harshly, I’m sorry! Please forgive Brother, okay?"

Da Bao tried to reach out and pat Nuonuo’s head, apologizing softly.

Nuonuo looked at him with tearful eyes for a few seconds and uncertainly asked, "Brother, you’re not mad at me?"

"Silly Nuonuo, how could Brother be mad at you? I just couldn’t bear it, your hands hurt like this, it must hurt, right?"

Da Bao coaxed, carefully examining Nuonuo’s hands, then couldn’t help but kiss them a few times.

Only then did Nuonuo slowly leave Le Tong’s embrace, as if she couldn’t bear to see Da Bao feeling so guilty, looking at Da Bao and saying softly, "Brother, it doesn’t hurt..."

Da Bao took a deep breath, leaned in, and kissed her cheek.

"Baby, I’m sorry, Brother was wrong."

Nuonuo raised her face and blinked, her slightly wet eyes were particularly bright, "The gift, does Brother like it?"

Da Bao gazed intently into her eyes, those eyes washed by tears, deep and bright, filled with his reflection in her black eyes. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"I like it a lot! But you shouldn’t push yourself like this anymore! Understand? Brother will be heartbroken!"

Nuonuo grinned, her bright eyes shimmering with layers of laughter.

"As long as Brother likes it. Nuonuo thought Brother didn’t like it!"

Turns out, her earlier fear and panic were not only because of Da Bao’s yelling but also because she feared he didn’t like the birthday gift.

"No, Brother loves it, this is the best gift Brother has ever received!"

Saying this, he wrapped his arms around the little girl who barely reached his shoulders and hugged her tightly.

Le Tong, seeing her son and daughter reconcile their misunderstanding, tugged Little Treasure’s hand, "Little Treasure, let’s go check if your daddy’s cake is ready?"

At this time, President Ji, wearing an apron, was in the kitchen spraying beautiful flowers onto the birthday cake for his beloved son.

"Mr. Ji, do you need help?"

Le Tong and Little Treasure leaned on the counter from either side, expressing admiration for President Ji’s increasingly skilled techniques.

"No need, why did you come in?"

Le Tong ignored him, dipped a finger into the cream, tasted it, and sighed with enjoyment, "Mm, delicious!"

Little Treasure followed her example, scooped a bit of cream into his mouth, and hummed in satisfaction, "Wow, delicious!"

Ji Rui helplessly glanced at this duo, "Weren’t you supposed to help? Isn’t this making more work?"

With that, he resignedly refilled the spots they had taken.

Le Tong innocently blinked her eyes, "We are helping, right, Little Treasure?"

The gluttonous Little Treasure scooped another big dollop of cream, stuffed it into his mouth, and nodded along muddily, "Mm... yes, helping... delicious!"

Ji Rui could only refill another big bite taken out, "Little Treasure, stop fooling around. Go out with your mommy and keep your brother company, I don’t need your help here."

President Ji’s habit of fearing his wife seemed incurable, not addressing Le Tong, but his son instead.

Little Treasure, seemingly accustomed to his father’s various ways of protecting his wife, obediently pulled back, but continued watching his dad make the cake from the counter.

"Why aren’t you going?" Ji Rui nudged the little guy with his hip.

Little Treasure straightened up and leaned back slightly, glancing toward the living room a few times, "Brother doesn’t need me to keep him company!"

Le Tong also nodded in agreement, "Right, Da Bao doesn’t need us to accompany him."

President Ji felt these mother and son were odd, glancing at one then the other, but couldn’t fathom what these two mysterious people were up to.

"Suit yourself!"

Although he found it strange, Ji Rui didn’t delve into it. Because he often felt that in this house, only he and Nuonuo thought normally, while Le Tong, Da Bao, and Little Treasure often had thoughts beyond the ordinary, things that others couldn’t figure out no matter how hard they tried.

Over the years, he had come to terms with this, so this time he couldn’t be bothered to ponder the true intentions of this mysterious mother and son duo.
