Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 690 - 688 Nuonuo’s Self-Esteem (Fourth Update)

Chapter 690: Chapter 688 Nuonuo’s Self-Esteem (Fourth Update)

Actually, this kind of separation was experienced a few years ago, when Da Bao went to college for military training.

But both Nuonuo and Da Bao seemed to feel that this time’s parting was somewhat different from the last.

However, what exactly was different, neither of them delved into.

But whether it was Da Bao or Nuonuo, they both followed their body’s instincts; when they missed each other, they got closer. Fortunately, they were both within reach of each other.

"Hmm!" Nuonuo lowered her eyes and turned her face away, not daring to look at Da Bao, but her answer was affirmative.

Da Bao gently rubbed her fair fingertips with his fingers, hesitated, and finally pulled her over to sit on his lap.

"If Brother doesn’t have time to come home, Nuonuo can come with Little Treasure to see Brother, but only on weekends, understand?"

Because Da Bao softened for a moment, the next day at noon, after a busy morning, Da Bao found Nuonuo and Little Treasure in his office.

"Nuonuo Xiaobao, why are you here?" Da Bao thought that this little girl would at least hold off until the next weekend, but he didn’t expect she couldn’t even bear a day.

"Brother, didn’t you say we could come and see you?"

Nuonuo blinked her eyes, with an innocent expression.

"Yes, but today is Saturday, aren’t you staying home to rest?" 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"Brother, you haven’t eaten, have you? We brought you lunch, it’s made by mommy!"

Nuonuo seemed unwilling to dwell on whether she and Little Treasure should have come, lifted a lunch bag, and handed it to Da Bao with both hands.

Da Bao patted Nuonuo on the head, just about to say something, when Little Treasure suddenly jumped in front of him, "Brother, can Uncle Hao take me around for a tour?"

Da Bao knew that this kid’s purpose in accompanying Nuonuo was not pure.

"Alright, I’ll have Uncle Hao come take you for a spin."

Although Da Bao had promised to let Little Treasure come help, it had never happened. Glory Network has been established for more than two years now, and this was Nuonuo and Little Treasure’s first visit here.

"But this place can’t compare to Ji Group!"

Da Bao had to set their expectations low. Compared to the Ji Group headquarters skyscraper, Glory Network Company’s single-story office building seemed much more humble.

Little Treasure didn’t seem to care much, "Of course, Ji Group is the painstaking effort of daddy and grandpa over several generations, while this place is Brother’s domain, it certainly can’t compare!"

Little Treasure’s words weren’t meant to belittle Brother at all, because he then said, "In a couple more years, I’ll also apply to daddy and mommy to start a company like this for fun."

Nuonuo didn’t comment on her brother’s words, as she knew she didn’t have that kind of capability.

"It’s not impossible, but you have to do your homework first."

Da Bao pressed the intercom, calling Zhong Hao over to take the two kids to tour the company.

While it was Nuonuo and Little Treasure’s first visit to Glory, they had met Zhong Hao many times before and were fairly familiar with him.

"Brother, I’ll stay here with you." Nuonuo, however, had no interest in touring the company.

Da Bao didn’t force her, letting her stay and keep him company.

It was nearly one o’clock, and Da Bao, who was starting to feel weak from hunger, didn’t waste time talking and lifted the lunchbox to start eating. Nuonuo seemed to know Brother was very hungry and sat quietly curled up on the reception sofa reading a book without a word.

Da Bao glanced at the book in her hands; it was an English textbook.

"Haven’t finished your homework yet?"

"No, there’s a monthly exam on Tuesday, I’m reviewing a bit." Nuonuo knew she wasn’t smart, so at home, she often took the time to review her work.

In contrast, Little Treasure was a little lazy bug, just indulging in food and play at home.

"Alright, as long as you’ve worked hard, the result doesn’t matter."

Like their parents, Da Bao never demanded much of Nuonuo, truly because they knew she wasn’t cut out for academics. Even with her earnest effort in studying, she only barely ranked among the top ten in her class.

"Oh..." Nuonuo’s tone was flat, seemingly genuinely unconcerned about her grades.

Since this term started, as Glory’s business became increasingly busy, Da Bao had less and less time to tutor her, and this responsibility shifted onto Little Treasure.

Halfway through the meal, Nuonuo suddenly looked up at him, "Brother, next year Little Treasure and I will graduate to middle school, talk to daddy and mommy, let Little Treasure skip a grade, I don’t need him to accompany me anymore."

Before, Nuonuo simply thought it was natural for Little Treasure to be in the same class as her, after all, the siblings had enrolled together.

But gradually, she came to understand that Little Treasure could completely be like Brother, graduating college at seventeen or eighteen and then having his own company to develop his career.

And the reason Little Treasure stayed with her, climbing grade by grade, wasn’t because he liked the primary school environment and teachers, but because he wanted to stay by her side, Ji Sihan.

After realizing this reasoning, Nuonuo felt very uncomfortable for a while.

She hated her own ineptness, relying on her brother for protection.

She also hated how useless she was, becoming a burden, a stumbling block for her genius brother.

And what made her most uncomfortable was that over the past few years, she naturally enjoyed this protection and special treatment, wasting so many years of her brother’s time.

After hearing Nuonuo’s words, Da Bao put down the lunchbox, silently watching her.

This little girl seemed to be becoming more and more difficult to understand recently.

Before, she rarely opposed the family’s arrangements, but lately, first insisting on taking on an endorsement, and now, suggesting that she no longer needs Little Treasure’s company.

Could it be that she figured out something?

Da Bao himself was someone with a strong sense of pride, and he understood that if Nuonuo grasped the real reason why Little Treasure never skipped grades, she would feel quite uncomfortable.

"Nuonuo, why are you suddenly thinking about this? Isn’t there still more than a semester left?"

Da Bao felt he probably needed to reevaluate this little girl.

The girl in front of him seemed no longer to be the bewildered little girl she once was; she started having her own independent thoughts, and her sense of pride was beginning to grow stronger bit by bit.

"To Little Treasure, elementary exams are a piece of cake. Last time, I saw him reading French books in your study. I think he doesn’t need to take it step by step like me; he should be able to, like Brother, jump to a class that suits his level and study."

From Nuonuo’s well-structured words, it seemed these thoughts had been hidden in her heart for quite a while.

"Okay, I’ll talk to Little Treasure about it. If he’s willing, and he has the capability, let him choose the suitable class or school."

Since Little Treasure’s company only adds to her pressure, they might as well go their separate ways as she suggested. After all, no matter how worried he and their parents were, Nuonuo was bound to grow up.

And she, in the end, must learn to face everything, whether good or bad!
