Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 774 - 772: I Can’t Help You Either (First Update)
Teacher Tan was probably moved by Nuonuo’s diligence and effort, and in the end, actually agreed to her request, giving her lessons every day for the seven days of the October holiday.
When Nuonuo told her family that she’d be taking acting classes every day during the holiday and couldn’t go on a trip, Da Bao’s face turned dark instantly.
When Nuonuo made the request to Teacher Tan, she only thought about doing her best to finish the short film at the end of October, forgetting to consider her family, especially her Brother Dabao’s feelings.
Seeing his expression now, she knew something was wrong, and quickly offered the freshly peeled crab claw meat to his mouth.
"Brother, this crab is fresh, eat it quick!"
Da Bao cooperatively opened his mouth, but his eyes kept staring at her.
Rarely ever did Nuonuo see dissatisfaction in his dark eyes, and even a bit of grievance.
Nuonuo thought she might have been mistaken, after all, in her mind, Brother Dabao was nearly invincible and fierce, the kind of person who was inherently aggressive, so people like him rarely felt aggrieved.
She carefully looked at her brother again, and then confirmed, his beautiful eyes did indeed carry an undertone of grievance.
Nuonuo’s heart trembled slightly, and a strong sense of guilt surged up. It seems that asking Teacher Tan for extra lessons was indeed a bit selfish.
"Brother, it seems this October holiday we can’t go on a trip like in previous years, but my classes are all at night, so short trips within the province should be okay."
Feeling guilty, Nuonuo said, while quickly picking up a tender piece of fish belly, picking out the bones, and diligently placing it into Da Bao’s bowl.
Da Bao didn’t say anything, silently picked up the bowl, and put the fish belly into his mouth.
Sitting opposite, Le Tong, although silently blamed Nuonuo for being too busy with work, didn’t want her children to be unhappy over this matter.
"You’re working, and that’s unavoidable. Da Bao, you can plan to visit nearby cities during the October holiday, it’s not far, and you can take Grandpa along."
With Le Tong’s peacemaking words, Da Bao couldn’t remain silent any longer.
After all, he wasn’t really that angry with this little girl, just somewhat helpless.
He had originally thought, since he and she finally became a couple, they could plan some romantic vacations during the hard-earned long holiday. But now, he had to come second to work that wasn’t even considered a real job.
Saying he wasn’t sad or helpless would be a lie.
"Alright then, I’ll talk to Little Treasure later, see which nearby cities he’d like to visit."
Da Bao finally regained his normal expression, and only then did Nuonuo secretly let out a sigh of relief.
"Girl, I remember Mr. Mai said you’d be going abroad for several fashion shows in late December. After the October holiday, I’ll help you catch up on your spoken English, so prepare yourself."
Having quickly accepted reality, Da Bao took on the task himself to prevent the girl from finding another English tutor and dividing the time he could spend with her.
"Brother, are you really willing to teach me?"
Da Bao personally teaching her made Nuonuo more than willing. Actually, she had planned to find a spoken English tutor, and naturally thought of her brother who had studied abroad, although she knew he just returned to the company and was very busy with work. So she thought about it but never had the courage to ask.
Da Bao glanced at her, "I don’t mind teaching you, but I’ll charge tuition."
Nuonuo immediately tried to please him by kissing him on the cheek, "Of course, of course, whatever tuition you want to charge, just say it. Anyway, mommy will pay for it."
Saying this, she smiled and winked at Le Tong, "Right, mommy!"
Le Tong could only nod, seemingly unable to do anything else.
Da Bao didn’t care about mommy and the little girl’s antics, straightened up, leaned lazily against the back of the chair, and pointed at the big plate of bright red crabs.
"Alright then, peel ten crab claws for me as a down payment."
Nuonuo nodded repeatedly, and her hands quickly started moving.
After dinner, Da Bao and Nuonuo brought up the vacation plans to Little Treasure through a video call. Little Treasure, who hadn’t seen his sister for a while, finally saw her again. Although it was just on the screen, anyone could tell the little boy was very happy.
But when he heard that Nuonuo would still have classes during the holiday, his face turned ten times darker than Da Bao’s.
"Sister, are you planning to marry the director? What’s the point of working so hard? I finally have a holiday to come home, but you’re going to class, are you abandoning your brother?"
Little Treasure’s face was only on the screen, but his aggressive tone and eyes seemed to break through the screen and come straight at them.
"Brother..."
Nuonuo pitifully shrank behind Da Bao, tugging at his sleeve, obviously wanting her brother to shield her from Little Treasure’s anger.
With her brother, she could act spoiled, pitiful, or even play dead to earn sympathy.
But facing her overly shrewd and often unyielding brother, as a sister, she often ran out of tricks.
Usually, Da Bao would naturally help her without needing hints from Nuonuo.
But today’s situation was different, Da Bao was still upset himself, no way he would help her!
"Brother, don’t help her! Ji Sihan, if you dare to go to class during the holiday, see if I don’t flay you, I’m not going to be called Ji if I don’t!"
After Little Treasure shouted this, the video chat window turned black in an instant.
Nuonuo glanced at the lower right corner of the computer, the avatar had already turned gray.
"Brother, what should I do, Little Treasure is really mad at me!" Nuonuo hugged Da Bao’s neck from behind, lying on his back, her head buried on his shoulder like an ostrich, feeling frustrated.
"Miss Si Han, congratulations, I can’t help you because you’ve upset me too!"
The little girl, feeling isolated and helpless, remained dejected on Da Bao’s shoulder for quite a while. Finally, she let go, moved around to sit on his lap, twisting her body to face Da Bao, her hands draped around his neck gently shaking him, looking very pitiful with furrowed brows.
"Brother, please help me think of a solution. It’s so hard to get Teacher Tan to agree to extra lessons, I really have to attend these classes."
Da Bao didn’t look at her, instead closed the chat window and opened Weibo to scroll through the gossip.
"Brother..."
Da Bao hardened his heart not to look at her, because he knew his fatal weakness well—whenever he met her beautiful eyes, all his resolve would crumble instantly.
After calming down a bit, he wasn’t angry anymore that she was using the holiday for extra lessons, but rather upset that she made these decisions without discussing them with him beforehand.
