Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 766 - 764: All Schemes Are Used on Me (Part 1)
The brand that Nuonuo endorses has only recently started to be heavily promoted in high society circles domestically, but abroad, it has a history of nearly a hundred years.
The fact that this brand has stood firm for nearly a century indicates its user base is very large and very stable.
And as a rare yellow-skinned model for the brand, Si Han’s appearance quickly caught the attention of high society in Europe and America.
In the eyes of those people, she has an angelic face so pure it’s almost immaculate, coupled with an ethereal and exceptional presence that is more captivating and attention-catching than the usual supermodels.
As Si Han grew, this little fairy gradually gained a touch of girlish charm and sensuality. Whenever she stood on stage, she shone like a jade waiting to be carved. Anyone with a bit of professional insight could instantly spot her extraordinary brilliance and feel an urge to sculpt her talent.
This is also why Mr. Mai, even at the risk of disputes with the head of the Ji Family, was eager to renew the contract with Si Han.
But the little girl herself obviously never realized this dazzling light she carried, always thinking that she was just lucky and spiritually talented, perhaps also attributing it to being Miss Ji, thus gaining the brand’s long-term favor.
"Cousin, you don’t need to comfort me, I know very well my own worth."
Even though Yang Liu said so, Nuonuo still considered her words as mere comfort. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Yang Liu, too lazy to explain, turned and left the terrace, and soon dragged Da Bao, who looked just as puzzled, to stand in front of the equally puzzled Nuonuo.
"Cousin, you come tell this silly girl how famous she is abroad!"
Da Bao took a deep look at Nuonuo, then patted Yang Liu on the head, "Liu Liu, what nonsense are you filling this girl’s head with now?"
Obviously, Da Bao didn’t want to discuss this matter, otherwise, with how much he cared for Nuonuo, he would know she has been lauded by many foreign fashion magazines as the "Oriental Fairy" over the years.
"Cousin, hiding and keeping good things for personal use can be a torment, you know!"
Liu Liu instantly understood why Da Bao avoided the topic, but understanding didn’t stop her from seizing the opportunity to tease this omnipotent cousin.
After all, in the eyes of her father and many elders, he was like a god, with her and her brother growing up under the large shadow of this deity.
Now, finally catching this god’s Achilles’ heel, how could she not exploit it against this cousin who has caused her "suffering" for so many years?
Da Bao’s temper was extraordinary, and even when being so blatantly exposed by his cousin in front of Nuonuo, he only smiled and gave her a sidelong glance.
"I’ve suffered more than you can imagine, so I don’t mind adding one or two more."
Yang Liu didn’t quite understand what Da Bao meant by this, but Nuonuo did.
His reference to suffering was about the torment of unrequited love over the years and having to exile himself to foreign lands for it, loving yet only enduring in silence...
Nuonuo’s mind listed out the pains Da Bao endured over the years, each one twisting her heart fiercely.
"Cousin, Brother isn’t as selfish as you say, everything he does is for my good!"
Just as Da Bao always protected her without needing reasons or excuses, her defense of him was equally blind.
She wasn’t willing to blame him or endure seeing him heartbroken, so how could she let others hurt or criticize him indiscriminately?
"Alright, alright, you two are both willing to fight and willing to endure, I shouldn’t have worried about this, hmph!"
Yang Liu looked at them disdainfully, her face almost writing "a pair of shameless lovers" in big letters.
Da Bao, rubbing her head with amusement, asked, "Liu Liu, since when did you become a righteous warrior? How did I not know?"
Yang Liu swatted his hand away and ran off angrily.
The little girl thought she had upset her cousin and was about to follow her inside.
Da Bao grabbed her, "Let her go."
"But, Cousin seems angry at me." Nuonuo looked anxious; she actually cared a lot for her cousin.
Da Bao shook his head helplessly, "Silly girl, your cousin has a big heart, she wouldn’t hold a grudge over such a trivial thing."
Da Bao could see clearly, Yang Liu was only pretending to be angry, simply leaving the terrace space for the two of them to be alone.
Nuonuo still seemed skeptical, and Da Bao sighed, lowering his head to nuzzle her face.
"Silly girl, it seems all your cleverness and tricks are used on me, aren’t they? Why aren’t you as perceptive with others?"
At Da Bao’s remark, Nuonuo quickly became unhappy.
"Brother, when did I ever use little tricks on you, you’re wronging me!"
The little girl pouted slightly, then snorted twice through her nose to express her strong dissatisfaction and protest.
Da Bao couldn’t bear seeing her pitiful expression and gently pecked her uplifted lips, comforting her with words.
"I’m sorry, Princess, I shouldn’t judge a gentleman with the heart of a villain. The Princess has always been candid and clear with me, without a hint of scheming."
The softly spoken comfort delighted Nuonuo immensely.
Indeed, regarding the audition matter, she was a bit anxious. But didn’t Brother always say that sometimes, to achieve a goal, a bit of strategy is harmless?
And ultimately, the fact that Nuonuo’s little schemes worked was largely because of Da Bao’s excessive trust and lack of defense towards her.
So, when you think about it, it indeed can be viewed as a case of willing participant and willing victim.
After staying close for a while in the outside terrace, they naturally went back indoors to join in the fun.
However, the atmosphere inside was a bit strange. Clearly, when Da Bao stepped out earlier, everyone was chatting enthusiastically, but now the room was unusually quiet, and instead of joyous faces, everyone looked solemn.
Da Bao planned to go over and ask his parents what was going on, but then he heard the Old Master say sorrowfully.
"I’m afraid, in my lifetime, there will never be another chance to see Weikang."
Da Bao instantly understood that the Old Master was thinking of his youngest son who had been missing for many years.
"Old Master, do you like the two paintings I picked out?" Da Bao pretended not to hear the elder’s lament, deliberately changing the topic.
The Old Master has always had a special fondness for Da Bao and his siblings, so when he heard the question, he put aside his sorrow and gestured for Da Bao and Nuonuo to come over and accompany him.
