Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 739 - 737: Ji Yu is a Big Fool! (Part 1)

The drunken man lying on the bed gave her no response, continuing to sleep soundly with his mouth slightly open and snoring softly.

Nuonuo sat by the bed, staring blankly at him. After a long while, she angrily ground her teeth and stretched out her hand to pinch his face hard.

She intended to pinch him ruthlessly, but when her fingers reached his skin, they silently eased up halfway. Regardless of whether she felt love, hate, resentment, or annoyance towards this person, she couldn’t bring herself to truly hurt him.

Yes, she couldn’t bring herself to do it!

"Itchy..." the drunken man mumbled, waving his hand slightly.

Itchy?!

You only know it’s itchy, but do you know how I’ve managed to get through these years?!

Nuonuo looked at the face she both loved and hated, wishing she could slap it, but although she imagined it, her fingertips landed lightly on his thick brows and traced them gently.

Three years ago, when less than twelve-year-old Nuonuo heard the news that her brother was leaving, her instinct was that he was tired of her, so he chose to study abroad regardless of anything.

In twelve-year-old Nuonuo’s understanding, her brother was her most important family member. Even though she had a very good relationship with her family, she couldn’t deny that her brother was the closest and most intimate with her.

Not to mention the countless memories of sticking to her brother day and night before school, even after she started school and spent more time with Little Treasure than with him, the reliance and trust in her brother had already taken root deeply in her, unshakable by anyone.

After her brother went abroad, she had a long period where she would sit in his bedroom every night before bed, touch the books he often read, wear his headphones to listen to the music he often listened to...

During that time, her parents even contemplated whether to take her to see a psychologist. When she finally forced herself to adapt to a life without her brother, she told herself that a semester would pass quickly, and thus, she began to look forward to the reunion during the vacation amidst her disappointment.

She didn’t know about other families, but based on her understanding of her own family’s financial situation, it’s not hard for the whole family to visit her brother during the holidays, or for him to fly back to reunite with the family.

But when she waited desperately for the holiday, her parents told her that her brother was too busy with his studies to find time to come back and didn’t want them to disturb him either.

He even called home rarely, let alone video chats or anything else.

Nuonuo went from anticipation to disappointment, and eventually, she even thought disheartened that perhaps he had found someone he liked, decided to settle abroad, and would never return.

With such a bleak thought, Nuonuo’s longing for her brother gradually diminished. It wasn’t because she was ungrateful, but because she became increasingly afraid to think of the brother who once cherished, pampered, and protected her more than anyone else. Every time she did, it felt as if her heart was being torn apart.

She began to study frantically, participated in various performances with Teacher Fan, and filled every weekend with volunteer activities.

She had to fill every moment when she might think about her brother with something else.

From a young age, she never considered herself strong; she might even be described as soft-hearted. This lack of strength and delicacy was especially evident in front of her brother Da Bao.

But over these three years, she gradually became stronger and tougher. From not daring to even mention her brother to later, when she thought of him, she wouldn’t tear up...

The drunken man on the bed turned over slightly, his face lying towards the light.

The gentle yellow halo cast over his handsome, chiseled features, casting deep, thick shadows under his long eyelashes.

Nuonuo stared at him dreamily, then watched as his sexy thin lips moved slightly. She thought he was thirsty but unexpectedly heard him mumble a few broken words.

"Nuonuo... brother... miss you..."

Nuonuo’s eyes instantly heated up, her misty gaze fixed on his face.

Ji Yu, you surely don’t know how I’ve survived these three years, do you?

Ji Yu, do you know you’re such a fool!

Nuonuo, with eyes full of tears, gritted her teeth and cursed!

After cursing in her heart, she suddenly leaned over and pressed her lips against those lips that uttered heart-wrenching words...

...

Da Bao slept soundly that night, probably because he drank some alcohol and got a bit drunk.

Perhaps, it’s because he was exhausted from the long flight, so he slept especially deeply.

Or maybe, it’s because he was back home, in a familiar place, so he slept particularly peacefully.

During this peaceful and deep sleep, he had a delightful dream!

In the dream, his cute and beautiful Nuonuo stood before him, gazing at him affectionately. When he wanted to ask a question, the girl blinked her beautiful eyes coyly and told him, "Brother, I like you!"

Then, the little girl who had just confessed blushed, tiptoed to give him a quick peck on the lips, and then ran off with a shy giggle.

...

In the morning, Da Bao was awakened by his alarm.

But he lay in bed unwilling to open his eyes for a long time because the dream was too beautiful, and he just wanted to remain in it forever.

Ten minutes later, Da Bao appeared in the living room.

"Dad, morning!"

In the living room, only Ji Rui was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper.

"Good morning, is the hangover gone?"

"Yeah. It’s fine now."

Ji Rui glanced at his son with a slight smile and gestured with his chin towards the dining room.

"Breakfast is in the dining room, go eat quickly."

Da Bao looked around, not seeing anyone else.

"Where are Mom and Little Treasure and Nuonuo?"

As he spoke, he walked into the dining room, pulled out a chair, and sat down, serving himself a bowl of congee, the faint aroma making him realize he was very hungry.

"Your Aunt Yuan’er is sick, your mom went to visit her. She said she’d be back for lunch. Little Treasure and Nuonuo took Big Gray and Big Black for a walk."

Da Bao quickly drank half a bowl of congee; it was still as delicious as ever. No need to guess, it must have been made by his mom early in the morning.

"Took Big Gray and Big Black for a walk? Where to?"

"Oh, you don’t know, do you? The industrial wasteland in front has now been converted into a leisure park. They took the dogs for a walk over there."

Da Bao hadn’t left the house since he came back yesterday, so he naturally didn’t know there was a new leisure park nearby.

"They usually stay there for quite a while. If you finish breakfast, you can walk over to have a look."

After breakfast, Da Bao changed into casual sportswear, grabbed his wallet and phone, and headed out.

He originally planned to call them once he got there, but unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the square, a ponytailed girl on rollerblades rushed towards him.

Da Bao glanced casually, only to be surprised to find that the girl was none other than Nuonuo.
