Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 761 - 759 Do You Think He Likes You? (Second Update)
Da Bao stayed in Beijing for three days. After he returned, Nuonuo mentioned the orphanage reunion to him, and Da Bao told her that the grand banquet for his great-grandfather’s birthday was on Saturday, so he definitely wouldn’t be able to make it back on Sunday.
Nuonuo replied to Si Jun on QQ, and the latter seemed quite disappointed.
The two chatted for a while, and then Si Jun went offline. Nuonuo saw that he had changed his status.
"Flowers in the mirror, moon in the water."
Nuonuo stared at the status absentmindedly. In terms of feelings, she wasn’t dull. She always knew Si Jun treated her well. And this kind of good, she always thought was the good kind between friends.
But now, looking at such a status, she couldn’t help but doubt whether she had misunderstood before.
Or maybe, Si Jun indeed regarded her only as a good friend, and just because she became lovers with Brother, she became extra sensitive and paranoid?
Her head was gently tapped, "What are you thinking about? So engrossed? You’ve lost your soul!"
Da Bao said, hugging her waist from behind and sitting close against her back.
Nuonuo originally wanted to hide it, but then she felt that such things, the more you hide, the more misunderstandings arise. It would be better to lay it out clearly.
Moreover, she also wanted to hear Brother’s opinion as an observer.
"I just told Si Jun I can’t make it back for Sunday’s reunion, and he seemed very disappointed."
Nuonuo spoke frankly, Da Bao listened carefully and then seriously started analyzing it for her.
"You don’t have to worry excessively, this is normal. You’re his best friend, of course he’s disappointed if you don’t attend. It’s like me and Zhao Hao and the others, we agree to hang out, but then one can’t come due to an issue, the other two would also feel disappointed."
Da Bao was actually quite pleased with Nuonuo’s honesty.
Regardless of what feelings Si Jun has for Nuonuo, just from Nuonuo’s perspective, being so honest proves she only sees Si Jun as a friend and nothing more.
To Da Bao, this point is extremely important.
He is a confident person, even if Nuonuo has the slightest affection for him, he is confident he can make her love him wholeheartedly.
So, as long as Nuonuo harbors no other feelings for Si Jun, whether Si Jun likes Nuonuo or not is unimportant to him.
"But he changed his status like this after going offline."
Nuonuo worriedly pointed at the chat window on the screen. Clearly, over these years, Da Bao and Little Treasure had protected her too well, facing the other’s possible feelings and the frustration after rejection, she felt sympathy but was also helpless.
Da Bao glanced at Si Jun’s status, then looked down and focused on Nuonuo.
According to Nuonuo, after the chat, Si Jun changed his status immediately. This indeed made it possible that Si Jun had a crush on Nuonuo.
Da Bao wasn’t surprised that Si Jun harbored feelings for Nuonuo.
What surprised him was, even though the other party said nothing, this silly girl Nuonuo could sense it!
"Do you think he might like you?"
Da Bao’s straightforward words made Nuonuo freeze.
She lifted her head, turned to meet Da Bao’s gaze.
"Brother, do you think so too?" Nuonuo asked worriedly.
Da Bao blinked and kissed her forehead, didn’t answer her question but instead asked, "So, do you like him? I mean, not as friends!", Da Bao emphasized.
Nuonuo’s face suddenly flushed, she lowered her eyes embarrassedly, "How could I? I like you, and him, I’ve always seen him as a good friend."
Da Bao was prepared for this, but hearing her speak so honestly still made him a little proud.
This silly girl, revealing her heart so openly and defenselessly, luckily she liked him. If it were someone else, they’d definitely exploit her without leaving a trace!
Yes! So, such a silly and straightforward Nuonuo is only suited to pair with him—a person who loves her endlessly.
Da Bao felt smug for a moment, then realized silly Nuonuo was still trapped in guilt for possibly hurting a friend, awaiting his rescue.
"Don’t worry, since he hasn’t confessed directly to you, just act like you know nothing. Actually, it might be you overthinking things."
In Da Bao’s worldview, chances always go to those who take initiative.
Since Si Jun opted for silent admiration, he has to endure the consequences and pain of retreat and cowardice.
Of course, Da Bao wouldn’t mind Si Jun confessing to Nuonuo, because Da Bao is confident enough to keep Nuonuo by his side, unaffected by anyone.
Nuonuo frowned worriedly, pouting and muttering, "Is this really okay?"
Da Bao pinched her cheek, "Why not? His words, though somewhat suggestive, don’t directly point to you. While chatting with you, he could’ve been talking to others too. This subject might be someone else. Or maybe he had some dream, now shattered, so having such sentiments wouldn’t be strange, right?"
Da Bao’s words were very reasonable, Nuonuo tilted her head, slowly relaxing her frown.
"Right, how did I forget, his subject might be his classmates from school."
Nuonuo’s instincts told her Si Jun’s status was about feelings, not anything else. But she forgot, besides her, Si Jun also knew many other girls.
"Yes, so, as his good friend, don’t pry or be curious. Matters of the heart aren’t for others to help, understand?"
Nuonuo nodded in agreement, and then the siblings’ topic shifted from Si Jun to other things.
After Nuonuo fell asleep, Da Bao went to the study to report to his parents the progress of his work trip to Beijing. After finishing his tasks, Da Bao specially asked Le Tong about Si Jun.
"Mom, how’s Si Jun doing now?"
Though, if viewed as a rival in love, he didn’t really hold Si Jun in regard.
But he firmly believed that knowing one’s enemy ensures victory.
Moreover, regarding Nuonuo’s matters, he wouldn’t allow himself any complacency. He knew well that a relationship with a rival is like a chess match; encountering a strong opponent, any mistake could lead to total defeat.
Upon hearing Da Bao ask about Si Jun, Le Tong was somewhat puzzled, but after thinking it over, she felt it was inevitable.
"His grades are exceedingly good, he ranked third in the year for the finals, particularly strong in science subjects."
Due to Nuonuo’s connection, Le Tong was particularly attentive to Si Jun. In her view, Si Jun indeed was a rare talent, and it would be a pity if he gave up his studies early.
"Hmm, he’s a very thoughtful child, contact his school. If he has any aspirations, we could provide him with a better learning environment."
Da Bao, being a person who appreciates talent, valued Si Jun even more compared to his close friends Zhao Hao and Wei Qi.
