Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 671 - 669 You Did Well (Part 1)

"Brother, I heard the senior sister speaking ill of me behind my back today..."

Da Bao’s gloomy mood vanished with Nuonuo’s words.

It turns out she wasn’t upset about the things he thought she was; it seems he was overthinking!

Da Bao silently lit a candle for his recent inexplicable moments of going off-track over Nuonuo’s issues!

After letting out a sigh of relief, Da Bao started to ponder Nuonuo’s words of mild frustration and disappointment. After figuring it out, Da Bao once again questioned whether his years of pampering and protecting Nuonuo were over the top.

Da Bao couldn’t remember, aside from parents and a few close relatives, at what age he began seeing people and interacting with them without reservations.

But even though he couldn’t recall the exact date, he was still certain that unlike Nuonuo, he basically wouldn’t have absolute admiration and trust towards outsiders.

"So did Nuonuo feel disappointed? Or sad?"

This little girl, probably has been sheltered too well by him and the family, having no defenses against people and things around her, nor the mind or instinct to see the essence of things.

"Hmm..." Nuonuo instinctively drifted over to Da Bao, seemingly seeking some comfort and reassurance.

Da Bao looked at her listless little figure and sighed to himself, patting his thigh, "Nuonuo, come here."

The little girl, like a trained puppy, immediately stood up, obediently walked over, stepped across, and sat on his lap with her back facing him.

"Do you think they’re important?"

Da Bao naturally wrapped his arms around the little girl.

Nuonuo thought for a while, "Hmm... they’re senior sisters..."

"Then do you think you’re important in their eyes?"

Nuonuo turned her head to glance at Da Bao, her eyes full of confusion.

"I... I don’t know..." In the past, she thought she was, but after tonight, she’s not so sure.

Da Bao gently rubbed his chin against her hair, "Silly girl, feelings are mutual. If you think they’re important, and they think you’re important too, that’s a reciprocal and worthy relationship. If you only see them as important one-sidedly, then you should reconsider viewing them that way, otherwise, you’ll end up hurt, understand?"

Ever since Da Bao rescued Nuonuo from the little grove, he had wanted to give this poor little thing the best of everything.

But now, he realized what he thought was best might not be the best for Nuonuo.

His own childhood, before reuniting with mommy, didn’t have many genuinely happy days. His childish nature had been worn away in the battles of wits with Old Madam Ji and his uncle and aunt.

Thus, he didn’t want Nuonuo to encounter the darkness and filth of prestigious families too early, nor taste the helplessness and hardship of society prematurely.

But he forgot that she wasn’t like Big Gray and Big Black pets; she couldn’t hide in the Ji Family forever.

He and the family sheltered her so well that her beautiful and clear eyes only saw wonderful and warm scenes.

Because of this, when she encountered people like her senior sisters who say one thing and mean another, she couldn’t handle the disparity and was disappointed and hurt.

"Nuonuo knows, but she’s still very sad..."

Nuonuo lowered her head, playing dejectedly with her fingers.

Da Bao opened his palm, enveloping her hand, "It’ll pass slowly..."

He, besides being hurt by family, had never been hurt by friends, so he couldn’t understand how bad her mood was.

But not understanding doesn’t mean he could ignore Nuonuo’s sadness.

After a long silence, Nuonuo suddenly asked sadly, "Brother, does this mean that aside from you all, no one will truly be good to Nuonuo?"

She naturally referred to the Ji Family members when she said "you all."

"Of course not! Look at Brother, doesn’t he have good friends like Brother Zhihao and Brother Wei Qi?" Da Bao tried hard to comfort her.

"But at school, apart from Little Treasure, I have no good friends. In the orchestra, although the senior sisters are nice to me, it turns out they’re not sincere."

Most people have a resentment towards the wealthy.

The more outstanding a person is, the fewer genuine friends they have. Especially children from a background like the Ji Family, finding genuinely heartfelt friends is rare.

Of course, in the Ji Family, Nuonuo might be the least noticeable child. But in school, she was a dazzling and outstanding girl.

For such a person, having truly sincere good friends is indeed challenging, especially since Nuonuo is a girl without any cunning, even if she likes certain classmates, she probably doesn’t know how to appropriately strive for anything.

"Nuonuo, you can’t force friendships. The reason you don’t have good friends now is only because you haven’t met them, you know, Brother met Brother Zhihao and them only in middle school!" 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

At this moment, Da Bao felt very fortunate that he met Yin Zhihao and the others late, otherwise, he wouldn’t know what teaching material to use to counsel the little girl.

"Hmm..." Nuonuo’s tone didn’t sound relieved.

"Silly girl, Brother and Little Treasure will always be with you."

Having both family and friendship is undoubtedly the best, but evidently, family means far more to Nuonuo than friendship.

Because, Da Bao’s words made her take a long sigh and then relax and lean back against Da Bao’s chest, comfortably squinting at the star-speckled night sky.

"Hmm, Daddy, Mommy, Brother, and Little Treasure will always be with me... just like how I will always be with you, right? Brother!"

Da Bao’s hand rested on her forehead, gently brushing his long fingers across her hairline and eyebrows.

"Yes, we’ll always be with you, and you’ll always be with us."

At this moment, Da Bao thought no matter what happens in the future, Nuonuo will always be his most beloved sister.

Nuonuo nestled in Da Bao’s arms suddenly remembered something, "Brother..."

"Hmm?!"

"Last night, Senior Sister Yu Han and Senior Sister Xinyu asked for your QQ number and phone number, and I didn’t tell them. You won’t blame me, right?"

Nuonuo hadn’t planned to say it but felt guilty cheating Brother, her conscience couldn’t bear it.

Though she didn’t want the two senior sisters to have any contact with Brother, she couldn’t interfere with Brother’s friends and choices based on her own preferences and thoughts, could she?

Nuonuo felt guilty and prepared to be scolded by Brother.

Unexpectedly, Da Bao said flatly, "Oh, you did well!"
