Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 709 - 707: Destined for Greatness in the Future (Fourth Update)
Because filming the commercial took a week, Nuonuo and Little Treasure took a week off from school.
The filming crew returned to R City at midnight on Friday. The three of them had a long-awaited, love-filled midnight snack at home, and after showering, they fell asleep immediately.
On Saturday, Brother Dabao woke up after ten, while Nuonuo and Little Treasure slept like little pigs.
Brother Dabao was worried about the company’s matters, so he asked Xiao Li to drive him back to the office.
Nuonuo didn’t wake up until after one, and after washing up, she came out only to hear from Mommy that Brother had returned to the company, which made her look disappointed.
"No need to sulk, your Brother Dabao said he would come back in the evening to accompany you all!"
Only then did Nuonuo smile, and she tiptoed to kiss Le Tong on the face.
"Mommy, can we go to the bookstore this afternoon?"
Le Tong pinched her face and laughed, "What? Have you finished reading the books from last time?"
Nuonuo nodded a bit shyly, "Yeah, I finished them. Brother said I should indeed read more of this type of book."
Le Tong’s lips curled up slightly as if she’d discovered a big secret, and she leaned in to ask Nuonuo mysteriously, "Did your brother say anything else?"
Nuonuo thought for a moment, "Brother said if I encounter any questions I don’t understand, I can ask Mommy or him."
Le Tong smiled even more happily, squinting her eyes at her precious daughter.
"Oh? Have you ever asked him any questions?"
Le Tong was quite curious to see what kind of reaction Dabao would have if Nuonuo asked him about something like teenage crushes.
Nuonuo shook her head, "No, Nuonuo understands everything!"
After speaking, she belatedly glared at Le Tong and pouted in defense, "Mommy, Nuonuo isn’t that dumb!"
Le Tong tugged her hair, "Haha, Nuonuo isn’t dumb, of course. Mommy heard from your brother, you and Little Treasure were great, almost every take was a pass during the shoot, amazing!"
Compared to her two sons in terms of IQ and EQ, this little girl would surely lose terribly, but she definitely has her own strengths that perhaps no one has realized yet.
Just like this time, if it wasn’t for her insistence on taking this endorsement, no one would have discovered how natural she is in front of the camera. Using Mr. Mai’s words, "She seems to be a born model, not only unafraid of the camera, but possessing exceptional instincts."
These words, Mr. Mai said to her privately because he felt that Nuonuo should be carefully nurtured in this aspect, and that she will surely make a name for herself in the future.
But Le Tong had no plans to share these words with anyone.
As a mother, she was being a bit selfish about it.
This endorsement, for both her, Ji Rui, and Dabao, was seen as a game for Nuonuo and Little Treasure to enjoy.
To truly let Nuonuo venture into such a complex and dark circle, Le Tong couldn’t bear to and didn’t want to!
Especially since Nuonuo is still young and not suitable to make future decisions too early.
In this regard, Le Tong believed that Dabao shared the same view.
"Mommy, Uncle Mai said that they’ll be shooting the next season’s commercial after Chinese New Year, and it might be filmed abroad then!"
Mr. Mai also mentioned this to Le Tong.
"Well, when that time comes, we’ll all accompany you, how about that?"
After all, the plan for the five of them to go abroad for a trip had been suggested for several years, but it had always been postponed and never formally put on the agenda. This year, going out with Nuonuo and Little Treasure would be great too.
"Okay!" Nuonuo was obviously very happy.
In the afternoon, Ji Rui and Le Tong took Nuonuo and Little Treasure out together. At the book center, the mother and daughter went to the teen book series section, while the father and son went to the military weapons section.
"Mommy, when you were my age, did you read these types of books too?"
Le Tong pointed to the small pocket book rack not far away, "Mommy used to read those."
Back then, the atmosphere wasn’t as open, and her mother was always busy working to support the family and had no extra time to tend to her feelings.
At that time, seeing other girls around the same age rent little books that could fit in their pockets from the rental bookstore on the corner, she saved her breakfast money to rent quite a few to read herself.
Thus, her teenage years were spent with those little pocket books.
If her mother hadn’t fallen ill afterward, Le Tong’s view on romance would have been just like those female protagonists in pocket books, quite silly and naive...
"Yeah, many girls in my class read those, are they good?"
Nuonuo, eager, was already stepping forward, wanting to go and check them out herself.
"I think these are better, after realizing you read these, Mommy thinks these are still better."
Le Tong now picked two essay books by a knowledgeable female writer for Nuonuo.
Le Tong felt that compared to those pocket books, these series are more positive and suitable for Nuonuo, whose worldview has yet to be set in stone.
"Is that so? Then I’ll read these two!"
Nuonuo has an almost blind admiration for her family.
In her view, no matter if it’s Mommy, Daddy, Brother, or Brother, they are all incredibly amazing people.
So, when she’s indecisive, she naturally chooses to go with her family’s ideas.
Nuonuo cheerfully piled up the two books Le Tong picked for her, then pulled Le Tong over to the music section to find a few sheet music books she found interesting.
With four or five books stacked up, Nuonuo suddenly asked Le Tong, "Mommy, what kind of books does Brother like to read?"
Le Tong didn’t quite understand why she was asking this, so she thought seriously and then gave an answer that was almost like saying nothing.
"Your brother likes many different types of books. From astronomy and geography to local customs and cuisines, he reads them all. Just look, isn’t his bookshelf full of all kinds of books? Biochemical weapons, science fiction, culinary, animals and plants..."
Le Tong counted on her fingers for a while, then stopped when her mouth felt dry.
Nuonuo listened with wide eyes and then let out a long sigh.
"Oh... Having a smart brain is really great! Brother and Little Treasure are so fast at reading, and they remember everything. I really wish I could be like them, understand every book I read and remember everything instantly..."
Le Tong’s casual words seemed to have struck Nuonuo, and the once chatty girl suddenly held her books and lowered her head in silence.
She keenly felt that the gap between herself and her brothers was not small.
Realizing the gap with her brother, which felt as impossible to close as a spaceship’s speed, made her once high spirits inexplicably plummet to rock bottom.
