Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 740 - 738: You Think Too Highly of Me! (Second Update)
Da Bao thought he had mistaken someone for Nuonuo and incredulously took a closer look at the girl’s face.
The girl pursed her lips at him and handsomely bypassed him, skating quickly to the other side.
Da Bao stared at the girl’s handsome figure for quite a while before snapping back to reality.
If he remembered correctly, Nuonuo couldn’t skate inline before, right?
While he was puzzled, the two silly dogs from his family huffed over, stood on his left and right, and kept rubbing his legs for affection.
Da Bao reached out to brush the fur of the two dogs, and Little Treasure appeared out of nowhere.
"Brother, you’re finally awake from the booze? I thought you’d be asleep until afternoon!" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Da Bao smiled and glanced at him, "I didn’t drink much, just exhausted, so I was out after a sip."
Little Treasure handed him Dahuai’s leash, "You better be, otherwise Dad will definitely be scolded. Dad also said you were exhausted, not drunk."
"Then I might as well tell Mom that it was Dad who got me drunk."
Da Bao laughed mischievously, feeling no guilt at letting his dad take the blame, since his dad had been accustomed to it since their childhood.
"Whatever, Dad’s thick-skinned anyway." Little Treasure, like his brother, had no sympathy for making their dad take the fall because he framed their dad just as often.
"When did your sister learn to skate inline? If I remember correctly, when I went abroad, she couldn’t, right?"
Actually, when the three of them were young, they learned this together. Da Bao and Little Treasure were bold and smart, practically learned instantly and were technically skilled, but Nuonuo was relatively clumsy, or rather her body balance was relatively poor, and after several attempts, she fell hard yet still cried and insisted on learning.
Later, it was their mom, Le Tong, who couldn’t stand seeing her daughter bruised blue and green, said it wasn’t absolutely necessary to learn, and stopped her from learning. Da Bao and Little Treasure didn’t mention it again in front of Nuonuo, and Nuonuo seemed to have gradually forgotten and didn’t bring it up again.
"Well, you should remember, she fell so bad, Mom wouldn’t let her learn anymore. But later, we took that advertisement contract, there was a scene of her and me skating inline in the park, she learned for that."
Little Treasure elaborated on the reason, "When she learned, she fell just as horribly."
"Can’t they use a body double?"
After Da Bao went abroad, Nuonuo and Little Treasure renewed their contract with the brand for another year, while Si Han and Huanhuan, who were somewhat known in the advertising world, had consecutively won the title of Best Golden Boy and Girl in advertising for the second year now among netizens.
Little Treasure squinted his eyes looking at the carefree figure in the distance, "Yes, the director also said that if worse comes to worst, they could use a body double, but it must be her sister’s willingness!"
Da Bao’s eyes were firmly locked on the figure that gracefully turned and occasionally delighted in fancy spins.
"Indeed, her stubbornness makes it hard to persuade!"
The brothers led Big Gray and Big Black to sit down on the grass, "Speaking of which, isn’t the contract period over for you two?"
Even if the contract period wasn’t over, with Nuonuo and Little Treasure’s current height and body, they probably couldn’t fit into that series of clothing anymore.
"Yes, it is. But they’re still interested in signing new contracts with us."
"Oh? Is it the youth series?" Da Bao guessed and got it right.
"Yes, but I’m not planning to sign again, it’s not much fun." Little Treasure laid down on the grass, his gaze drifting with the clouds in the sky.
Da Bao detected the underlying meaning from his words, "Your sister wants to sign, huh?"
If that girl wanted to renew the contract, their dad and mom might not be as quick to agree as before.
"Yes, but Dad doesn’t seem to agree."
Just as expected.
"Then what does Mom say?"
Dad’s disagreement isn’t critical; the final decision for Ji Family affairs is mostly made by Mom.
Little Treasure gave him a sideways glance, seemingly casual in saying, "You better ask Mom yourself, I’m not really sure, maybe Sister is still trying to convince Mom."
Da Bao thought, this could likely be the case.
"Actually, I don’t quite agree with my sister signing again. After all, she’s starting high school soon. She’s so competitive. Grades don’t matter to us, but she doesn’t think that way. Before the entrance exams, she was staying up till midnight and waking up at five to study. Don’t you think if she signs the endorsement again, she won’t even have time to sleep?"
Talking about this, Little Treasure had a disapproving look.
Compared to Little Treasure, Da Bao actually understood Nuonuo’s feelings more.
There were only three kids in the family; he and Little Treasure hardly had to exert any effort to always stay in first place, so achieving good grades didn’t seem like a big deal to them since they already had it.
But for Nuonuo, who had never had it and was always living in the shadows of him and Little Treasure, her grades were a crucial support for her self-esteem, so she desperately studied.
"These words, you mustn’t say to your sister!"
Da Bao knows that Little Treasure loves his sister Nuonuo, but he has a sharp tongue, sometimes speaks without considering, while Nuonuo is particularly sensitive and easily hurt in this regard.
Little Treasure nodded obediently, "Of course, I won’t say those things to her, but if she signs the endorsement this time, it wouldn’t just be taking static photos or shooting short commercials; she’d have to coordinate with brand promotions, doing runway shows in major cities, so Brother, you’d better find some time to talk to her soon, I think you should be more convincing than Mom."
Da Bao thinks Little Treasure indeed is smart, but sometimes he misjudges.
"Little Treasure, you think too highly of me!" Da Bao pulled up his lips in a wry smile.
Back here for less than a day, he could already feel Nuonuo’s resistance and alienation; now, he was having a headache figuring out how to coax that girl.
If at this critical moment, he insisted on opposing her, she would hate him to death, wouldn’t she? Where would she even listen to his rambling then?
Little Treasure turned his head, staring at him like looking at a monster, "Brother, it’s not just me who thinks highly of you, Dad and Mom seem to also plan to wait for you to come back and have a good talk with her."
Little Treasure seemed a bit confused about why the ever-confident brother suddenly underestimated himself in matters concerning their sister.
Just like yesterday, the sister suddenly changed her mind and didn’t go to pick up her brother, always making him feel oddly.
And now, Brother still felt oddly.
Da Bao let out a long breath, "I’ll go ask Mom clearly about this. You don’t mention it first, just pretend I don’t know anything, okay?"
