Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 742 - 740: It’s enough for him alone to know (Second Update)
"No change!"
Nuonuo kept her head down, silently counting the number of bricks she stepped over, trying to overcome her nervousness.
Last night, she almost "escaped" from the "crime" scene at the speed of a hundred-meter sprint.
Back in her bedroom, even lying on the bed, her heart was still pounding unusually fast.
Even now, she still felt lingering fear.
That’s why she didn’t dare to look him in the eye just now.
In the end, she didn’t even understand how she suddenly got captivated and kissed him at that moment.
If he was pretending to sleep last night, what should she do now?
Nuonuo pursed her lips and walked slowly, nervously following him.
"Are you still going to the orphanage now?"
Da Bao came back this day; he hadn’t heard the family talk about Si Jun, and naturally, no one mentioned the orphanage.
Da Bao’s topic had nothing to do with last night, and Nuonuo secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "Hmm, I go twice a month to teach the kids there how to play the violin."
Da Bao reached out wanting to hold her hand, but Nuonuo instinctively dodged to the side; Da Bao’s hand changed direction and reached up to rub her head.
"What about Si Jun? Is he still learning the violin?"
Da Bao had a deep impression of that graceful little boy. It could be said that it was because of that little boy that Da Bao first truly tasted the feeling of jealousy competing with other boys.
"He is still learning. Teacher Fan took him as a pupil. Speaking of which, I’m his senior sister."
But as for Da Bao being upset about Si Jun, Nuonuo had no recollection.
Perhaps, the old Nuonuo who hadn’t yet figured things out never knew her brother had once been so envious because of Si Jun.
And after three years apart, Da Bao had obviously come to terms with many things, including the role Si Jun played in Nuonuo’s life.
Having figured it out, he could now calmly see many truths.
"He should be in the second year of high school, right? Has he found someone to sponsor him, or is he working and studying on his own?"
Having rational thoughts, one needs to quickly understand the distribution of rival affection around oneself in order to deploy an effective pursuit plan.
Nuonuo, this silly girl, had no idea about her brother’s many thoughts.
She was secretly relieved that her impulsive act last night wasn’t discovered by her brother.
"Mummy sponsors him, didn’t you know?" Nuonuo seemed a bit surprised.
In her mind, her brother had always been all-knowing and almighty, and regarding family matters, he should be particularly well-informed.
Da Bao wasn’t surprised by this answer at all because, before he went abroad, Mummy had often expressed regret for Si Jun.
"Actually, Mummy didn’t just sponsor him; she also sponsored several kids from the same period who got into major high schools."
Nuonuo’s guardedness gradually diminished, and unknowingly, her tone became much calmer.
She might not have noticed this change herself, but as Da Bao accompanied her in slow steps, he couldn’t help but curl his lips.
If he’s correct, this little girl was being deliberately cold and distant to him!
"What about you, where do you plan to study in high school? Are you planning to advance or aiming to get into an outside high school?"
Nuonuo now attends the same school where Da Bao and Little Treasure studied from kindergarten to high school; it’s a prestigious school with a more humane teaching approach that avoids rote learning just to pursue grades and admission rates.
Honestly speaking, Da Bao hopes Nuonuo stays in her current school to complete her high school studies; after all, her excellence doesn’t need her grade to prove it.
Or rather, her excellence, her goodness, is enough as long as he alone knows it!
"Daddy, Mummy, and Little Treasure all hope for me to advance directly, but I want to see my middle school exam results before deciding."
At Nuonuo’s age, it’s the time she most wishes to prove herself, wanting to make her own decisions about the future, which is understandable.
"I think similarly to Daddy and Mummy, but regardless of what you choose, I’ll support you."
The current Da Bao believes he has enough ability; no matter where she goes, he has confidence in capturing her heart.
Of course, the premise is, he has to first let her know he is not her brother!
And this seems to involve quite a few matters, so beforehand, he needs to discuss it with Daddy and Mummy properly to minimize Nuonuo’s hurt.
Da Bao understands better than anyone that the only person hoping to change the nature of their relationship is him. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
In Daddy and Mummy’s eyes, Nuonuo is forever the daughter they cherish like a little princess.
To Little Treasure, Nuonuo always needs his protection and love as a silly sister.
"Yeah, that’s what Daddy and Mummy say too."
Many of Nuonuo’s classmates have been scolded and complained about by parents because of grades, but she never had such an experience.
It seems she is really fortunate and happy.
"Then what do you think yourself? Do you feel this school doesn’t suit you? Or do you want to experience more of the outside world?"
Da Bao knows Nuonuo’s current grades are very good, so if she performs normally in this exam, getting into a major high school shouldn’t be difficult.
She doesn’t have many friends; Si Jun and the few children from the orphanage are among her few friends. As a result, Da Bao speculates she wants to attend the school where Si Jun and they are studying in the major high schools.
Da Bao asked this question, although Le Tong had also asked Nuonuo before; naturally, their starting points were different.
"The school now is very good, but perhaps students of my level should study at schools with a tense learning atmosphere. I hope such an environment can inspire me to achieve greater potential."
Da Bao felt a pang of heartache; this girl really hasn’t been lightened by him and Little Treasure.
"Why have such thoughts? Is it because of Little Treasure and me?"
Nuonuo first nodded, then quickly shook her head.
"Yes, but also not. Actually, if it weren’t for you and Little Treasure, I probably wouldn’t have the current drive and ambition."
At fifteen, Nuonuo had already passed the initial period of confusion; those feelings of inferiority and self-denial in the past had long transformed into motivation through repeated doubt and assurance.
Now, Nuonuo possesses a resilient and strong heart.
Of course, Da Bao does not know these things.
In his mind, Nuonuo still remains the little girl who would cry over the smallest matters.
"Silly girl, you don’t need to pressure yourself so much, why bother? Daddy, Mummy, and I won’t care about these."
Da Bao feels that regardless of how Nuonuo is, the Ji Family members, including him, will never lessen their love for her.
"But I care!" Nuonuo replied quickly.
