Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 755 - 753 Guess! (One more update)

Nuonuo didn’t make her words very clear, but with Dabao’s intellect, how could he fail to grasp her meaning?

Still, understanding is one thing, but habitually, he doesn’t want her to suffer any hardships or grievances.

"Hmm, let’s talk about it after we see the results tomorrow."

Dabao thought, if she really wants to go to First High School, even if her grades aren’t enough, with the awards she’s won over the years, she could possibly get into a special talent class or something.

But right now, he wants to discuss the endorsement issue with her.

He hasn’t figured out how to begin, yet Nuonuo brought it up first.

"Brother, the brand I used to work with hopes that Little Treasure and I can be the spokespersons for their ’Youth Series’ next year. I’ve had a pleasant cooperation with them over the years, so I want to renew the contract. However, the specific details might be a bother for you to negotiate."

Nuonuo, in the past, tended to avoid issues regardless of what they were, only forcing herself to face them when they were unavoidable.

But now, she understands the importance of seizing opportunities. Many things, when faced proactively, allow you to hold more autonomy.

From the mom’s repeated delaying attitude in dealing with the endorsement, she vaguely senses that the family might not approve her renewal.

And Brother Dabao probably thinks the same as the parents.

Therefore, she must assert her stance before they voice their refusal, but not in a consultative tone, rather an informative one.

Dabao is used to Nuonuo seeking his opinion first on everything, even prioritizing his opinion. Her suddenly declaring about endorsement was surprising enough that he couldn’t help but stop smiling and study her closely.

Nuonuo also lifted her eyelids, straightly meeting his scrutinizing gaze.

"Have you already agreed with them?"

Dabao’s tone revealed no emotion, but Nuonuo’s intuition told her that her brother seemed a bit angry.

This kind of restrained brother, Nuonuo has rarely seen. But she knows she can’t relent on this matter.

"Hmm, although nothing is set since the contract isn’t signed yet, I’ve promised Sister Ziweng verbally."

Even knowing it might anger her brother, Nuonuo summoned the courage to tell the truth.

Dabao didn’t rush to express his stance; instead, he leaned over and picked her up, placing her in front of himself, bending his legs to encircle her.

"Since there’s no contract, it means there’s room for change. Even if we don’t sign, they can’t do anything to us."

Dabao’s tone was extremely calm, but the conveyed meaning was crystal clear: he doesn’t want her to take this endorsement.

Nuonuo quickly turned her head to look at him, "Brother..."

She actually values this endorsement.

When persuading her to take the endorsement, Zhang Ziweng also privately said many things to her, which she never mentioned to her parents.

Originally preparing to tell Brother first, seeing his tough attitude now, she felt secretly glad she didn’t reveal Zhang Ziweng’s other words.

"I’ll talk to Miss Zhang about this, don’t worry about it."

Despite Dabao being still underage, he habitually assumes the role of Nuonuo’s legal guardian. Nuonuo’s big and small matters almost always require his personal scrutiny, from which school to attend to what dress matches which shoes.

Now he is 21 years old, Nuonuo is 15. Even though recently he’s frequently felt the impact of her growing up, he still habitually sees her as someone needing his protection and guardianship.

Dabao’s tone is resolute; about everything previously, Nuonuo would undoubtedly not dare to speak more. But she is not the same anymore.

"Brother, didn’t you say you’d respect my decisions no matter what I want to do?"

The little girl no longer appears meek and easily manipulated, even puffing up her cheeks fiercely.

Dabao looked at the frog-like Nuonuo in front of him, feeling quite overwhelmed. He had cherished her for so many years, finally reaching this mutual understanding today; naturally, he wants to keep things pleasant between them, not spoiled by this matter.

He pulled her waist into his embrace, buried his head on her puffed cheek, kissing gently.

"Alright, let’s meet with Miss Zhang and discuss this, okay?" Dabao always excels at these indirect delaying tactics.

Nuonuo, though eager for an immediate agreement, understands persuading her brother is extremely challenging. But if her brother nods, her parents naturally wouldn’t obstruct anymore.

"Okay, I will arrange to meet her tomorrow!"

Nuonuo has become savvy; fearing her brother might negotiate behind her back with Zhang Ziweng, she hurriedly took over the task of scheduling.

Her little trick did not escape Dabao’s eyes.

However, Nuonuo is a minor while he is her brother and her legal guardian; his words carry more weight than hers, so even if she touches base with Zhang Ziweng ahead, it essentially becomes futile.

Besides, dealing with those seasoned veterans in society, Nuonuo is still too inexperienced.

"Alright, you schedule her, I’ve arranged to go out drinking with Zhao Hao and others the night after tomorrow, the rest of the time, feel free to arrange."

Nuonuo believed she succeeded, and her previous displeasure quickly faded, enjoying asking Dabao about his experiences and life abroad.

"Why suddenly gushing interest in these aspects about brother?"

What Nuonuo inquired left Dabao with a delusion, feeling like she was a spy sent by mom.

Nuonuo did not directly answer him, lazily leaning against him, grabbing his big hand and studying it, spreading his palm, then placing her own on it. "Brother, your hand’s gotten bigger."

Comparing them, Dabao found she was right; his formerly slender hand looked oversized next to her delicate small hand, like a giant.

"It’s because you only grow taller without your hands growing, over these three years, you’ve grown over ten centimeters, but your hands haven’t grown a bit."

The two knocked their heads together and studied for a while before Nuonuo casually asked.

"Brother, while abroad, did any girls pursue you?"

Dabao’s mouth curled up. See, that was what she cared about the most!

"You guess!"

Dabao’s smile was thoroughly provoking, and Nuonuo wanted to smack him then and there.

"Guess? Sure enough, there were! With your kind, no matter not being charmed by your smarts, they get enchanted by your looks; even if not by looks, they fall for your eloquence..."

Counting with fingers, Nuonuo felt inexplicably sour.

Amusement deepened in Dabao’s eyes. He sniffed and smiled, "So sour!"
