Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 723 - 721: Can’t Bear to Part with Brother? (One more)

After communicating once about Si Jun’s issue, the siblings seemed to have reached a consensus.

Da Bao naturally didn’t dare to blatantly speak ill of Si Jun like the first time. Moreover, he admitted that Si Jun was a pretty decent guy. As long as he didn’t have any bad intentions towards Nuonuo, letting Nuonuo make an additional friend wasn’t a bad thing. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Nuonuo vaguely noticed her brother’s change in attitude. Even if Si Jun occasionally called or she called him, she no longer avoided doing it in front of Da Bao. This open approach reassured Da Bao a lot.

However, reassured or not, each time Nuonuo talked to Si Jun on the phone, he would still prick up his ears to listen. At the slightest sign of trouble, he would definitely step in.

Fortunately, Nuonuo, this girl, was truly innocent and adorable. Every time she chatted with Si Jun, the topics were either about the violin, studies, or talking about the family’s three cats and two dogs. As for family, she only mentioned to Si Jun that she had parents and a brother and a brother who loved her very much, and she hadn’t mentioned anything else about her family.

It seems, even though she appeared innocent, her underlying sense of defense and self-protection was strong. This aspect made Da Bao very satisfied and reassured.

The game was still in its public testing phase, and Da Bao remained busy. However, he tried to bring his work home. Seeing him busy in the bedroom, their parents suggested setting up a study for him, as there were still several empty rooms in the house.

Da Bao thought about it and suggested, why not open up the two rooms downstairs, then divide them into three cubicles with glass. One could be used as a study for Little Treasure and Nuonuo, another as his studio, and the third as Nuonuo’s practice room.

His studio would be in the middle. Even while working, he could occasionally look through the glass to see how his brother and sister were doing. If his work required isolation, he only needed to pull down the curtains around him, and they would become three separate spaces that didn’t disturb each other.

Da Bao’s proposal was immediately passed with full approval from the family.

In a few days, the combined study for the three siblings was ready. Da Bao sat in his studio. When tired from looking at data, he’d glance at Little Treasure fiddling with his robot on the study’s carpet to the left, and then look at the little girl focused on her practice in the right practice room. All his fatigue would instantly vanish.

Lately, Le Tong, the mother, wasn’t so busy, so every evening, she’d make some desserts or sweet soup for the kids. The children loved sweets to begin with, and now Le Tong’s skills were nearly at the master level. Da Bao, who had lost a few pounds due to work-related fatigue, had gradually gained them back over the past few days.

Nuonuo was quite sensitive about her brother’s weight. After having dessert this day, she glanced at Da Bao a few times, leaned back into his arms, and tugged at his face.

"Brother, you’ve gained some weight!"

Da Bao touched his own face and smilingly looked at Le Tong sitting diagonally opposite him.

"Mommy is raising us like pigs; how can we not get fat?"

"Yeah, fatten you up to sell for a good price." Le Tong, the mother, without a serious bone in her body, smiled slyly at her son, looking truly like she was estimating the price of a fat chicken at the market.

Nuonuo leaned back in Da Bao’s arms, raised her hand, and shouted, "Mommy, how much? I’ll buy!"

Da Bao lowered his eyes, smiling, pinched her cheek, and asked, "What, can’t bear to part with your brother?" That smile was filled with hidden meanings.

Le Tong also smiled with interest, waiting for her daughter’s answer.

The little girl didn’t directly answer Da Bao’s question; instead, she propped herself up and raised her hand towards Le Tong.

"Mommy, I only have five bucks; deal or not?" The little girl burst into giggles after speaking.

Da Bao immediately put on a heartbroken, silently weeping expression, hid half his face with his hand, and said in a pinched voice, "How pitiful, turns out I’m only worth this much."

Nuonuo lay in his arms laughing even more happily, and Le Tong chuckled even more mischievously, saying meaningfully, "Nuonuo, it’s not just five bucks; even if it were for free, your brother would be willing to sell!"

With a smile on his face, Da Bao looked at his teasing mother, lowered his head to touch foreheads, eyes meeting Nuonuo’s and asked, "Is that so, I will chase after you saying, I sell, I sell, little beauty, quickly take me away! Are you afraid?" Even though it was a teasing tone, there was a hint of anticipation.

Nuonuo, having no idea that her mommy and brother were digging a hole for her to jump into, thought it was fun, wriggled out of Da Bao’s embrace, jumped onto the floor, and pulled Da Bao’s collar, "Let’s go, let’s go, little fat pig, I’ve bought you, obediently come home with me!"

Da Bao obediently stood up, bending his body.

President Ji, who had been watching the fun from the side, gave his wife a cool glance, "You’re something else, selling your precious son for five bucks."

Le Tong gave him a look, "Tsk, what do you understand, President Ji? They’re just playing a game where one hits willingly while the other takes it willingly!"

President Ji admitted he truly didn’t understand, but his wife had really been acting a bit nervously lately; could it be early menopause?

With a hidden worry in his heart, President Ji secretly decided that no matter what, he must take his wife to see Doctor Fu this week. Whether the precious son was sold cheap didn’t matter; his wife’s health was the most important, wasn’t it?

There, the "little fat pig" ruthlessly sold by mommy dear, obediently followed his little beauty master into the bedroom.

Using his foot to close the door, "little fat pig" couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow, thinking to himself, little beauty, do you know you’re inviting a wolf into the house?

Little beauty, of course, didn’t know. Hearing the "little fat pig" behind her say, "Master, what are your orders?" she chuckled and pointed to the bed, "Go sit over there!"

Da Bao, familiar with the place, walked to the bed and sat down, scanning the bedroom he hadn’t visited for some days, discovering nothing much had changed from before, except for the book on the pillow, which had switched from children’s books to young adult literature.

Da Bao casually picked up the book, flipped through it, and quickly glanced at the synopsis, surprised to find that the protagonists of the book were orphans.

"Master, what’s written in the book?" A knot formed in Da Bao’s heart.

He didn’t want to interfere with Nuonuo’s friendships, but if she focused too much attention on that Si Jun, he could by no means sit around and do nothing.

"Oh, it’s an orphan’s struggle story." Nuonuo climbed onto the bed next to him.

"How come you’re suddenly into this type of genre?" This somewhat realistic literature seemed too heavy for Nuonuo.

Besides, she’d never touched similar genres before. Now that she’s reading it, could it be Si Jun’s influence?

"Si Jun said there are some little girls in their courtyard who are particularly insecure, but as a boy, Si Jun doesn’t know how to talk to them, so I thought I’d read these kinds of books to offer them some guidance when I have time."
