Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 696 - 694: Brother Can Give Everything (Second Update)
A group of people started eating and joking around, after all, the seafood here is famous, and after working hard for so long, enjoying such a feast felt like tasting the most delicious food in the world.
Most of the dishes on the table were finished, and everyone was more or less full, so they began to egg each other on to drink. Some of the older ones even started playing drinking games.
The atmosphere was very lively. Although Da Bao didn’t touch alcohol, watching from the side, he felt very cheerful too. Several times, he couldn’t help but join in and cheer, urging anyone who lost to drink up.
The head of the design department lost pretty badly and got somewhat tipsy in no time. He walked over to Da Bao with his drink, "Young Master Yu, we toast to you!"
Zhong Hao, who was nearby, quickly raised his hand to intervene, "Old Gao, Young Master Yu doesn’t drink! Besides, at Young Master Yu’s age, drinking is not appropriate, right?"
With Zhong Hao’s mention, everyone remembered that their boss was still a minor under eighteen.
Old Gao was reminded of this and naturally shifted his target to Yin Zhihao, who was sitting next to Da Bao.
"Zhihao, you’re not a minor, are you?"
Yin Zhihao quickly stood up and poured himself a full glass of wine, "Boss, I toast to you!"
A large group of people who had been busy for a long time finally had the chance to relax and drink to their heart’s content. In the end, everyone in the private room, except for Da Bao, who was a minor, was completely drunk.
Da Bao watched the employees, who were drunk and swaying, with a headache. Finally, he had to call Xiao Li, asking him to bring some drivers over to help take the people back to the company.
Xiao Li quickly arrived with a few others, and they helped the drunken employees into cars. Da Bao figured that since everyone was drunk, he might as well go home and sleep for the night.
So, after taking care of everything, he hailed a taxi and went home first.
Back home, Nuonuo and Little Treasure were still awake. As soon as young Nuonuo saw Da Bao return, she pounced on him and hugged him.
The face that was originally full of smiles crumpled when she leaned in to kiss Da Bao’s face.
"Oh no, Brother, you drank?"
The little girl said, not only refraining from giving him a kiss, she even let go disdainfully and took two steps back, covering her nose.
Da Bao sniffed and indeed caught a whiff of alcohol.
"I didn’t drink. I was just dining with colleagues, and they all got drunk."
Nuonuo didn’t quite believe him, "Really didn’t drink?"
"Really didn’t!" Da Bao replied earnestly.
Nuonuo, half-believing and half-doubting, leaned back closer, "Hmm, no drinking in the future, either!"
"Hmm, Brother won’t drink!" Da Bao was almost raising his hand to swear.
Afraid of the smell of alcohol on him bothering Nuonuo, Da Bao first took a shower and walked out to the living room all refreshed. On the coffee table, there was a steaming bowl of congee.
Remembering the curry fish balls from that day, Da Bao raised his eyebrows slightly, "Nuonuo, did you make this?"
Nuonuo shook her head, "No, Mommy made it. Mommy said you drank, and eating some congee will be good for your stomach."
Da Bao felt that even if his body was covered with mouths, he couldn’t convince his family that he hadn’t drunk alcohol.
"Where’s Mommy?" Da Bao looked around but didn’t see anyone.
"In the study working with Daddy," Nuonuo pointed in the direction of the study. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
Da Bao had already confirmed in the bathroom that there was no alcohol smell on him, so he leaned over to kiss the foreheads of his brother and sister nestled on the sofa.
"I’m going to check on Daddy and Mommy."
With that, he got up to greet Le Tong and Ji Rui in the study, then returned to the living room to eat the congee.
"How was the English test on Tuesday?"
Da Bao always paid close attention to Nuonuo’s matters, so of course, he had to show concern when they met.
Nuonuo threw aside the book in her hand, climbed over, placed her hands on Da Bao’s shoulders, and rested her chin on them, blinking at Da Bao.
"Brother, I ranked tenth."
The last time she took a test, she was over twenty places down the ranking, but this time she jumped up more than ten places. Even the teacher praised her for her great improvement. Although it still couldn’t compare to Little Treasure’s constant first place in the grade, Nuonuo was content. Achieving such a result made her very happy.
"Wow, awesome! What prize does Nuonuo want? Brother will get it for you!"
Da Bao was also very happy for Nuonuo, and he freed up a hand to pat her on the head.
No one knows better than him how much effort the little girl put in to climb those more than ten places.
Sometimes, he also felt that God was really unfair. Like him and Little Treasure, the effort they put into studying was probably not even a tenth of what Nuonuo did, but the results were more than ten times better than Nuonuo’s.
Every time he saw the stubborn little girl yawning while studying, he wished he could share some of his intelligence with her.
Filled with tender affection, Da Bao gazed blankly at the little girl leaning on his shoulder.
Looking down at her rosy face, his breathing became heavier, and the way he looked at her unknowingly turned deep and unfathomable.
The feelings he was suppressing in his heart, like a raging volcano, surged and boiled in his chest, seemingly ready to lose control and erupt at any moment.
"No need! Mommy bought candies for me and Baobao yesterday. Next time I’ll do even better, then Brother, remember to buy me a prize!"
Nuonuo’s innocent and clear voice interrupted Da Bao’s daydreams in his mind, and his surging emotions abruptly stopped, successfully suppressed back into his heart.
"Hmm, Brother will save money well and get a big prize for Nuonuo."
Nuonuo giggled, "No need to save money! I have my eye on a dress. Brother, just buy it for me. It’s not expensive but very pretty."
Da Bao placed his hand around her waist and gently pulled her into his embrace.
Lowering his head, he lightly kissed her soft, curly hair.
"Nuonuo, whatever you want, Brother will give it to you!"
Da Bao’s soft and gentle murmurs sounded like a dream, but it was his most honest thought buried deep in his heart.
After saying that, Da Bao closed his eyes slightly, a wave of bitterness welling up inside: Nuonuo, Brother is afraid what I want to give, you don’t want!
Nuonuo, however, didn’t know her brother’s thoughts, simply wrapping her arms tightly around Da Bao’s waist, burying her head in his chest, and responding muffledly.
"Nuonuo just knows, Brother is the best to Nuonuo!"
Da Bao let out a long sigh internally, smiling bitterly at the words he shouldn’t have said but blurted out, "Nuonuo, you’re still young, you don’t understand."
Silly Nuonuo, you’re only eleven, what do you know, that love can sometimes be a kind of harm!
Nuonuo snuggled into him, raising her stubborn little face, "Brother, I’m not little, I understand!"
Da Bao tried hard to force a smile, "Hmm, it’s Brother who underestimated Nuonuo. Nuonuo is amazing, understands everything!"
Silly Nuonuo, if one day you really understand, would you think that your brother is a pervert, a monster?
