Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 782 - 780: By My Side, It’s Still You (Third Update)
Under Da Bao’s insistence, Nuonuo also left the boutique carrying a ton of autumn and winter clothes in big and small bags.
The two of them had to go back and forth twice to bring all the clothes and accessories left at the counter back to the car.
Fortunately, Da Bao was driving a Hummer, so there was enough space to hold all these bags and parcels.
"Brother, you’ve been listening to me all day, why don’t you decide where to eat dinner?"
Da Bao looked at Nuonuo with a smirk, "Are you sure?"
"Yes!" Nuonuo nodded seriously.
Brother likes seafood the most, so Nuonuo thought Da Bao would take her to a seafood restaurant by the sea.
Little did she know, not long after they started driving, Da Bao pulled over on the roadside and told her to get out of the car.
Nuonuo looked at the roadside, and besides an M’s fast-food place, there were no other eateries, not even a bakery.
"Where are we going?"
Nuonuo thought Da Bao wanted to buy something else. Although puzzled, she obediently got out of the car. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
"Didn’t you say I could eat whatever I wanted? Tonight, we’re having this."
Nuonuo didn’t dislike fast food, to be honest, she didn’t eat much of it because her parents and even the brother who minded everything kept saying this kind of fast food was junk food, so except for a few times with classmates, she hardly ever visited these fast-food places.
"Brother, didn’t you say this was junk food?"
Before entering, Nuonuo asked in a low voice.
"Eating it occasionally a couple of times is not too bad."
Compared to Nuonuo, Da Bao is quite picky; if he thinks something doesn’t taste good, he wouldn’t eat it if he has other choices.
Nuonuo looked up at him, deeply suspecting he was tired and silly from shopping with her for half a day!
"Chuckle, what’s with that look? The food here isn’t delicious, but it’s enough to fool our stomachs."
Nuonuo didn’t know that her picky food lover brother, while studying abroad for three years, frequently solved meals with one hamburger and milk to save time and speed up his learning process.
So, these fast-food that he once despised three years ago built a deep, hidden bond with him over those three years.
Nuonuo’s demands for food aren’t nearly as high as Da Bao’s, so since Brother accepts, she has no reason not to eat it.
The two ordered two hamburgers and two sets of chicken wings. When Da Bao asked if Nuonuo wanted anything else, the little girl waved her hands repeatedly, "Enough, enough!"
Honestly speaking, she’s been secretly controlling her caloric intake lately. Because she needs to maintain her best shape for a photo shoot at the end of the month.
Of course, she dared not mention a word of this to her family, especially in front of Da Bao, she was extra cautious for fear of letting it slip.
If Da Bao knew she was dieting specifically for this endorsement, he would undoubtedly find ways to stop her from working.
Gotta say, Nuonuo knows some of Da Bao’s thoughts inside out.
After leaving M, the two got directly into the car, and after driving for about ten minutes, Da Bao stopped on the side of the road and took Nuonuo to a roadside fruit shop to buy some fruits, especially asking the storekeeper to wash and pack them nicely in a box.
Holding the fruits, she sat back in the car, and only after buckling her seat belt did Nuonuo remember something.
"Brother, where are we going?"
"Little girl, I’m taking you to sell you to traffickers."
After teasing her, Da Bao burst out laughing, leaning on the steering wheel.
Nuonuo’s face turned green from being teased. After he finally stopped laughing, she cast him a sideways glance, "Brother, you’re acting really weird today!"
Da Bao seemed to realize he laughed too much and tried hard to hold back, but his slightly uplifted mouth betrayed him.
"Alright, no more teasing. We’re going to the countryside, it’s probably hard to find a place for dinner there, so it’s convenient to buy some fast food in advance."
Having received the answer, Nuonuo relaxed and sat comfortably, not curious at all about where they were going next.
Da Bao didn’t seem to intend to reveal more either, as the car headed towards the north suburb, leaving the city on a road unfamiliar to Nuonuo for about half an hour. Da Bao suddenly reminded Nuonuo, "Girl, hold on tight; the road ahead might be a bit bumpy."
No sooner had he spoken than the car turned onto a rugged yellow dirt road, with overgrown weeds on both sides.
Nuonuo looked ahead, seeing nothing but a field of weeds and a path extending through them. At last, her curiosity piqued about this place she couldn’t guess.
"Brother, where are we going?"
Da Bao focused his eyes on the narrow road ahead. After all, the road condition was rough, and he needed to pay full attention to be safe.
"Why, are you really afraid I’ll sell you off as a child bride?"
Despite focusing on driving, Da Bao’s tone remained relaxed.
Nuonuo wasn’t bothered by his teasing and hummed with a pout, "As long as you’re willing to let me go, I don’t mind!"
Da Bao burst once again into laughter, "Nuonuo, it sounds like you’ve got me wrapped around your finger?"
Nuonuo shrugged proudly, "Of course, you even handed over your salary card, how could you ever hope to turn the tables?"
Laughing and chatting, the car finally emerged from the weeds, rolling onto a cement road. Although narrow, it was at least smooth.
Nuonuo heard Da Bao exhale softly, "There is actually another easier road, but it’s a bit far. Since it’s still early, I decided to take this shortcut."
Da Bao’s so-called shortcut really seemed closer than the other road he mentioned, as after emerging from the weeds, Nuonuo saw a mountain not far ahead.
"Are we going up the mountain?"
Da Bao reached over and patted her cheek, "Yes, you’re smart!"
The mountain looked quite tall, and it took a full half hour for the car to reach the top.
Stopping the car on the grass at the top, Da Bao glanced at the sky, turning red beyond the mountain, and called for Nuonuo to quickly get out.
"Girl, hurry up, or we’ll be too late!"
Nuonuo hurried out, and Da Bao took her hand, leading her to sit on a large rock on the mountain edge.
"Nuonuo, look!"
Following the direction he pointed, Nuonuo saw the vast horizon, where a huge, fiery-red sun was slowly disappearing beneath the sea.
Da Bao held her hand tightly, his lips brushing her cheek.
"Girl, I hope, seventy years later, or even eighty, I can still sit here watching it set, and I hope that when that time comes, you’ll still be the one sitting beside me."
