Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 745 - 743 Nuonuo Found Out (Part 1)

"Dad, I thought I’d learn a thing or two from you, but now I’ve realized I really overestimated you."

At this, Da Bao made no effort to hide his deep disdain for his old man’s pathetic emotional intelligence.

In this regard, Ji Rui has always been quite self-aware. "You brat, itching for a spanking, are you?"

After the threat, he couldn’t help but laugh himself.

"Actually, I’ve secretly been relieved that you and Little Treasure didn’t take after me in this aspect. You both are more like your mommy; otherwise, if you two fall in love, both you and the other person would suffer greatly."

Da Bao was amused by his old man’s "heartfelt words", "Yes, mommy often says, thank goodness Little Treasure and I aren’t like you!"

"My son is so excellent, which family’s girl is so clueless that she’d dare give you a hard time?"

Ji Rui hadn’t forgotten the original purpose of his son’s visit.

Da Bao was almost moved to tears by his old man’s protective nature. Da Bao really wanted to see, if he were to tell his old man right now that it was his precious daughter who was giving his precious son a hard time, whom would he side with!

However, this is a big deal and it’s better to discuss with mom first and come up with a long-term plan. As for dad, let’s keep him in the dark for now.

"She’s not intentionally giving me a hard time, it’s just that I haven’t confessed yet!"

At this moment, Da Bao felt quite relaxed. After that long talk in the park, he realized that Nuonuo had much more depth and thought than he initially gave her credit for.

Previously, he had underestimated her.

Let’s just say, during the three years Da Bao was away, Nuonuo was at the stage of transforming from a child to a teenager. Her thoughts and actions were gradually becoming more adult-like, so naturally she couldn’t be as innocent and naive as she was three years ago.

The look of displeasure on Ji Rui’s face finally faded.

"Then what are you worried about? Worried she doesn’t like you?"

Ji Rui was secretly displeased, which family’s girl had such high standards? My Ji Family’s precious son, apart from our family background, just by his smart brain and outstanding appearance could attract countless beautiful heiresses, yet someone doesn’t recognize his worth and makes my son stick his warm face to a cold backside?

Da Bao shook his head, "I’m not worried that she doesn’t like me; it’s just she’s still too young. The timing for me to confess probably hasn’t arrived yet."

Ji Rui became curious and raised an eyebrow, "How young?"

"Not even fifteen yet..." Da Bao found it amusing to bet that even if he spelled it out like this, his dad still wouldn’t guess who the real person was.

"Uh! Not even fifteen..." Ji Rui’s expression became serious, "That’s about the same age as our Nuonuo, so it really isn’t the time to confess."

Da Bao finally couldn’t help laughing. After managing to stop, he asked, "So Dad, you mean I should hold off for now? Wait until she’s a bit older to confess?"

Ji Rui nodded without hesitation, "Of course! If any guy dares to confess to our Nuonuo now, I’ll break his legs!"

Towards the end, Ji Rui was practically gritting his teeth. It seemed he had directly involved Nuonuo in this matter.

He never imagined that the person his precious son wanted to confess to was none other than his own Nuonuo.

Da Bao, who had managed to suppress his laughter, now burst out laughing uncontrollably.

He held his stomach, making a promise to his serious old man, "Alright then, I’ll wait until she’s a bit older to confess."

The father-son conversation ended in an incredibly comedic manner.

And Da Bao didn’t walk away empty-handed.

Originally, he had planned to clarify everything with Nuonuo as soon as he returned.

Because he had enough of this suffocating situation where he couldn’t say or do anything, and he didn’t want their ambiguous feelings to be disrupted by Nuonuo’s teenage restlessness.

But after talking with his old man, he changed his mind. He decided to temporarily postpone the confession.

After all, he had waited for so many years, another year or so wouldn’t matter. Besides, now that he was beside her, any slight change and he could immediately alter his approach or take action.

However, this resolve to hold back only lasted for half a day, until the evening when a long talk with Le Tong overturned his decision again.

After dinner, Nuonuo and Little Treasure said they were too full and took the two dogs for a walk. Da Bao felt quite full too and stood up, patting his belly, intending to join his siblings for the walk.

But Le Tong stopped him, "Da Bao, mommy has a French document she can’t understand. Can you help me translate it?"

Da Bao didn’t suspect anything, and immediately told his brother and sister who were busy with the dogs outside not to wait for him, then followed Le Tong dutifully.

Unexpectedly, Le Tong didn’t lead him to the study but to his bedroom instead.

Da Bao was puzzled but still obediently sat next to Le Tong.

"Da Bao, there’s something I need to discuss with you first."

Le Tong’s expression was very serious, and her tone equally earnest.

Da Bao’s heart skipped a beat, sensing a bad premonition, and he looked intently at Le Tong.

"Mm? Mommy, what do you want to say?" He reached out to hold Le Tong’s hand resting on his lap.

Le Tong patted the back of his hand, "Nuonuo knows about her background now!"

Le Tong’s words were like a bomb, exploding in Da Bao’s mind.

It took a long while for his mind to recover from the shock. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"Mommy, how did she find out? Did you tell her? Or did someone else?"

Da Bao couldn’t figure it out, wasn’t it kept under wraps all this time? How did it suddenly come up?

Moreover, didn’t mommy say that this should be decided based on his wishes?

"Mommy, didn’t you say that whether to tell or not, it was up to me to decide?"

Da Bao didn’t really blame Le Tong, he just couldn’t wrap his head around it, and then he thought of another possibility.

Da Bao’s heart tightened anxiously. If mommy took the initiative to talk about it with Nuonuo, the blow she’d suffer would undoubtedly be the least. But if Nuonuo heard idle gossip from others, the blow must be significant.

Le Tong couldn’t help but sigh deeply, if she could, she would never have mentioned the background under such rushed circumstances, but at the time, it was the best choice she had.

"Actually, the fact that Nuonuo is adopted by us is not really a secret in our circle. At least, those at Aunt Yuan’er’s wedding knew, and besides, there are many who know me from back then. Suddenly having a daughter show up, those with a mind could deduce it with some thought. But with our family’s influence, everyone tacitly agreed not to say anything."
