Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 695 - 693: True Brothers (Part 1)

"Da Bao, I’m sorry, it was just me not thinking straight." Yin Zhihao strides over, tugging on Da Bao’s arm, acting cute and coy.

Da Bao pushes his hand away with a face full of disdain, "Cut it out with that act, do you think you’re my Nuonuo?"

Indeed, apart from Nuonuo, no one can pull off acting cute in front of Da Bao and get anything they want.

"Hehe... can’t you just pretend I’m Nuonuo?" Yin Zhihao shamelessly grins.

Da Bao rolls his eyes at him, reaching out to tug at his cheek, "Brother Zhihao, do you think that face of yours is so fresh? A glance more and I might have nightmares!"

With a carefree laugh, Yin Zhihao drags a chair over and sits beside Da Bao. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"Hehe, Young Master Yu isn’t mad anymore, right?"

Da Bao doesn’t bother with him, directly opens his computer to check emails.

If we’re talking upset, he really isn’t.

Yin Zhihao’s personality is impulsive, so it was no surprise to Da Bao that he blew up last night.

It’s just, he didn’t expect that this guy would skip work in his impulsiveness. But he also didn’t expect that this hot-headed guy could figure things out and calm down this fast.

Then again, even if Yin Zhihao was furious last night, Da Bao never doubted that after all these years, his friendship with Yin Zhihao and Ren Weiqi is rock solid, and wouldn’t end over the Shao Yuxin incident.

Seeing Da Bao ignoring him, Yin Zhihao got up to make a cup of flower tea, and fawningly brought it to Da Bao.

"Young Master Yu, after running around all afternoon, your mouth must be dry. Have a cup of tea to soothe your throat."

Da Bao glares at him coolly, "Soothe my throat so I can shout back all the things you yelled at me last night?"

"Ah, Young Master Yu, why would you say that? It was my fault, I’m the foolish one, deserving to be scolded. Young Master Yu, if you’re still upset, don’t bother scolding, just kick me!"

Truth be told, hardly anyone can outtalk Da Bao. Despite Yin Zhihao’s sharp wit, he’s always had to concede to Da Bao.

Facing a friend who’s being so carefully apologetic, even if Da Bao was angry, he couldn’t stay mad, especially since he wasn’t even angry to begin with.

Finally, Da Bao picked up the peace offering tea his friend made, bringing the cup to his lips, he gave his friend a sidelong glance, "Have you figured it out? Not blaming me anymore?"

Yin Zhihao folded his hands in front of him, lowered his head and slightly bowed, looking sincerely apologetic.

"Young Master Yu, I’m sorry!"

Da Bao couldn’t help but be amused by his friend’s earnest sycophantic act, giving him a kick with a laugh, "Okay, enough with the act!"

Yin Zhihao finally sits down again, still with a serious face, raising his hand, "I swear to the group, I guarantee, I truly know my mistake, I’m not acting!"

Da Bao smiles and shakes his head, "Tell me, how did you figure it out?"

Yin Zhihao coughed twice, slightly embarrassed as he scratched his head.

"Wei Qi came to my house at noon, and when I told him about last night, he scolded me without hesitation, called me pig-brained, and said that they’ve known for years that Shao Yuxin liked you but didn’t want to hurt my feelings. Later, when they thought I’d caught on, they didn’t mention it again. But even he didn’t expect me to be so foolish, falling into the same pit twice after all these years!"

Da Bao guessed that what Ren Weiqi said to scold Yin Zhihao also bottled up for many years, just like his own.

"Yeah, it is really foolish! I really don’t understand how I’ve put up with you all these years!"

"Hey, Ji Dabao, that’s enough!" Yin Zhihao looked utterly helpless, yet he could only endure the scolding obediently.

"Enough? Who was it that said we weren’t brothers anymore, who said they misjudged me?"

Da Bao suddenly thought that today’s tea had a slightly different aftertaste, and he sipped it carefully.

In response to Da Bao’s accusations, Yin Zhihao immediately drooped his head like a wilted flower, admitting guilt meekly.

"It was me..."

"This flower tea, did you buy it?"

As a bona fide foodie, Da Bao was used to certain flavors, and even the slightest difference, he could detect.

Yin Zhihao looked at him incredulously, "Yeah, you could tell that too?"

The flower tea Da Bao drank was bought by Le Tong at a tea shop, said to reduce heat and refresh, especially suitable for busy office workers. Da Bao found it tasted good and continued drinking it.

"Hmm, this tea has tenderer leaves, the aroma is pure, and the floral proportion is slightly less, making the tea flavor stronger."

Being clueless about tea, Yin Zhihao got nervous hearing his detailed analysis, "You don’t like it?"

"No, I like it very much. Where did you buy it? Next time I’ll ask my mom to buy from another place."

"Not bought, it was produced from my uncle’s tea plantation. If you and your mom like it, I’ll have my uncle send some more over."

Da Bao’s curiosity piqued, "A tea plantation? Is it far from here?"

"About two hours’ drive, why, do you want to go?" Yin Zhihao, truly Da Bao’s confidant, guessed his intention with just a question.

"Yeah, I’ve been busy lately and haven’t had much time to spend with Nuonuo and Little Treasure. If it’s not too far, after these busy days, I can take them to the tea plantation to have some fun. Can you ask your uncle if it’s convenient?"

Yin Zhihao immediately pounded his chest, "Of course it’s convenient, if you want to go, my uncle would be thrilled, how about this, Wei Qi and I will also go back together and have a blast for a couple of days."

Da Bao called Le Tong, chatted for a while, and the plan to visit the tea plantation was set.

After hanging up the phone, Da Bao looked up at the wall clock, "Zhihao, even though I’ve asked Uncle Hao to take a leave of absence for you just now, you’d better hurry and apologize to your boss before work hours end."

Yin Zhihao remained where he sat, and Da Bao glared at him, "Why aren’t you going? Stropping again?"

Zhihao shook his head, "No, I already went to our boss with a formal apology when I came back, and I volunteered for a week of night duty to atone for my impulsive behavior."

Upon hearing this, Da Bao shut down his computer, "Come on, let’s go out and eat."

Yin Zhihao thought it was just him and Da Bao going out for a meal, but little did he know, Da Bao had invited the employees from both the design and tech departments, who had been working overtime, to join them.

With over twenty people, they went to a seafood restaurant, got a big private room, and the young crew who’d been working hard for over ten days ate and drank heartily, like prisoners newly released, making a ruckus.

The restaurant’s signature dish, baked lobster with cheese, is Le Tong and Nuonuo Xiaobao’s favorite, so Da Bao specifically asked the manager to prepare an extra one, along with a few family favorite seafood dishes, and had them sent home.
