Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 676 - 674: Cook for Your Beloved (Second Update)

Chapter 676: Chapter 674: Cook for Your Beloved (Second Update)

The ancient temple was quite magnificent, even bigger than Da Bao imagined, and the family roamed inside for nearly an hour before they finally came out.

While visiting the ancient temple, Nuonuo was carried by Ji Rui, the father, for a short while; for the most part, she was carried by Da Bao, the brother.

As a result, Little Treasure’s phone couldn’t help but store quite a few photos of Da Bao carrying Nuonuo.

Ji Rui was very curious about the construction of the ancient temple, and he went off to study the pillars one by one.

From time to time, Little Treasure would take out the photos of Brother and Sister from his phone to share with Le Tong, and the mother and son duo would point at the siblings in the photos.

Several times, Da Bao noticed his mommy and brother looking at him mischievously, "Mommy, what are you guys talking about? Acting so strangely!"

Le Tong laughed meaningfully, "Baby, you don’t need to know; just focus on carrying Nuonuo well!"

Little Treasure immediately echoed, "Yeah, Brother, just focus on carrying Sister, nothing else you need to know!"

Da Bao couldn’t be bothered to deal with them and just followed Nuonuo’s wishes, carrying her around to see everything.

Outside the ancient temple was an ancient tree said to be a thousand years old; its trunk was so thick that the five members of the Ji Family tried holding hands to embrace it but couldn’t go around it. In the end, two tourists nearby found it amusing and joined in, and only then, with seven people, could they encircle the trunk.

This enormous ancient tree was lush with branches and leaves, and red wish ribbons were hanging all over them.

"Daddy, Mommy, this is the marriage tree, right? You should also write one and throw it up there," Da Bao egged on his parents nearby.

"Yeah, Daddy, Mommy, hurry up, write ’eternal love and grow old together’!" Little Treasure chimed along.

Ji Rui glared at his two mischief-making sons, but was pulled along by a smiling Le Tong.

In the blink of an eye, Le Tong and Ji Rui returned with a few red cloth strips in their hands.

"You guys write something too!"

Da Bao didn’t take it, "Mommy, this is a marriage tree, what should we write?"

Le Tong forcefully stuffed the pen and red cloth into his hands, "This is a wish tree; you can write any wish you want on it."

Da Bao was half-convinced, but eventually, he still wrote a wish on the red cloth, flicking it up to hang on a branch.

Nuonuo and Little Treasure also finished writing their wishes. Little Treasure flicked his hand and the red cloth hung on the branch. Standing there while being supported by Da Bao, Nuonuo flicked several times, but her red cloth missed the branches, swaying back down to the ground.

"Let me throw it for you." Finally, Da Bao volunteered to help Nuonuo throw the red cloth up into the tree.

On the way down the mountain, since Nuonuo’s foot was injured and it was getting late, the family took a cable car down.

Seeing as it was already dark, everyone discussed and decided to check in directly at a hotel at the foot of the mountain.

After putting the luggage in the guest room, the family went to the open-air restaurant for dinner.

This hotel had quite a few specialty wild vegetables and a lot of seafood, which were also specialty foods of G City. But considering Nuonuo’s foot injury, they didn’t order any seafood.

Nuonuo felt very guilty because the family of five especially loved seafood.

"Mommy, you can order whatever you want; I can eat the other stuff."

Le Tong, however, didn’t take her suggestion and only ordered some wild vegetables and light special foods.

Even Little Treasure, usually the greediest, didn’t have any comments on Mommy’s decision, and during the waiting time, Little Treasure started to gossip about what everyone wished for on their red cloth.

"Since it’s a wish, you can’t speak it out loud; otherwise, it won’t come true." Da Bao simply said one sentence, extinguishing all of Little Treasure’s gossip tendencies.

At first, Nuonuo felt guilty for holding everyone back from having their specialty seafood. But when dish after dish was served, she found that the food made by this hotel was excellently presented and tasted great, gradually diminishing her guilt and regret.

The family of five, all basically foodies, ate with great appetite, savoring the flavors, and ordered another portion for three or four dishes after finishing the first.

By the end, Le Tong proudly presented President Ji’s title to the waiter, expressing her desire to meet the chef.

The manager, thinking they had offended an important guest, hastily brought the head chef along with him.

The family did not hold back their words of praise, making the manager and head chef extremely delighted. Then, Le Tong humbly sought guidance, hoping the head chef would disclose the ingredients and methods for these dishes.

The head chef and manager shared all the ingredients and methods without reservation, while Ji Dabao, already prepared, took out his phone and recorded the head chef’s explanation process.

Returning to the luxurious guest room, a sweaty Little Treasure was sent to take a shower. Da Bao and Ji Rui went out to a convenience store to replenish the supplies consumed today, while the injured Nuonuo and Le Tong curled up on the sofa, watching the cooking class video recorded by Da Bao.

While watching, Nuonuo suddenly said to Le Tong, "Mommy, I also want to learn to cook."

Le Tong was quite surprised. After all, all this time, the little girl had never shown interest in this area. On the contrary, Da Bao often helped out in the kitchen, and he could make quite a few home-cooked dishes, which weren’t bad, and Ji Rui often said Da Bao’s cooking skills were a result of genetic mutation.

"Hmm? Why all of a sudden interested in cooking? Isn’t our little princess afraid of getting dirty? Not bothered by the heavy smoke?"

In Le Tong’s eyes, and indeed in the entire Ji Family’s view, Nuonuo was the young lady who didn’t lift a finger. Of course, if she loved cooking, no one would stop her; if she didn’t, no one would force her either. After all, the Ji Family didn’t lack people who could cook.

"It’s not dirty! I see that Mommy really enjoys it. I think Mommy’s dishes taste better than the hotel’s chef and Aunt Guan’s. Daddy, Brother, and Little Treasure all love Mommy’s cooking, and I want to cook for you all just like Mommy does."

Nuonuo’s words deeply moved Le Tong, and looking at her daughter, who was now almost a young lady, she felt a blur of pride and sentiment as if her daughter was growing up.

"That’s great; learn to cook for us now, and in the future, you can cook for your beloved!" Le Tong couldn’t help teasing the little girl.

"Mommy! What are you talking about?!"

Nuonuo blushed with embarrassment from Le Tong’s teasing. Just then, Ji Rui and Da Bao returned with a few bags of supplies. Seeing Nuonuo’s unusual complexion, Da Bao looked at her with concern.

"Nuonuo, why is your face so red? Do you have a fever?" Saying so, he dropped the bags and quickly took a few steps over, supporting himself on the sofa with one hand, and touched Nuonuo’s forehead with the other.

He had been worried about Nuonuo’s injury and had specially bought some anti-inflammatory and pain relief medicine at the convenience store earlier.

Nuonuo awkwardly pushed his hand away, averting her gaze towards the balcony, "Brother, I’m not having a fever; it’s just that it’s too stuffy in here."

Da Bao wasn’t so easily fooled. He took out a thermometer and had her keep it in her mouth until he saw the temperature reading was normal, before turning to organize the supplies they had bought.
