Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 783 - 781: A grown child is beyond a mother’s control!
Regarding what Da Bao said about seventy or eighty years, Nuonuo admits she never thought that far ahead, she doesn’t even have a concept of such a long time in her mind.
But she knows that in her life, from a young age, it has been filled with this person named Ji Yu. Before, he was in the role of Brother, and now, he is in the role of a lover.
If in another ten or twenty years... or even seventy or eighty years, she thinks, his role might change, but the fact that he will always be by her side probably won’t change, just like how she will always stay by his side.
"I will!"
Fifteen-year-old Nuonuo hasn’t experienced much turmoil.
For her, being abandoned by her parents should have been a major turning point in her life, but at that time, she was too young to perceive her pitiful situation, only slightly pouting her small mouth and blinking her eyes at that pretty face with those sparkling black eyes in the dappled shade of the small grove.
And the magic of destiny lies in that, clearly, just a little baby unintentionally pouting her lips and blinking her eyelids, unwittingly started the gears of life trajectories for the two children to overlap.
Fifteen-year-old Nuonuo knows that her meeting him fifteen years ago was destiny.
But now, being together relies not on destiny.
And to be together for the next ten, twenty, or even seventy or eighty years, certainly cannot depend on destiny to sustain it.
So, when she says "I will!" these three seemingly simple words, they actually clearly convey her determination and attitude to walk together with him.
Da Bao said such words, more of a kind of expectation and beautiful wish. Honestly, he didn’t dare to hope that fifteen-year-old she would have the same determination and thought of growing old together as he did.
Therefore, when he heard her firmly give him a three-word answer, his heart was instantly ecstatic.
"Nuonuo, don’t you feel that what we’re doing now is unfair to you?"
Although Da Bao’s heart was almost overwhelmed with joy, the remaining bit of rationality still compelled him to reveal the slight unease hidden deep in his heart.
Nuonuo slightly tilted her face to look at him, the fiery sunset reflected in her dark pupils like two flickering fires.
"Ji Yu, I don’t know how much virtue I’ve accumulated in previous lives to have met you in this life. I don’t understand why you would think it’s unfair to me. For me, even in another ten or twenty years, even if I meet a hundred times or a thousand times more boys, I can never find another person who loves me as much as you do."
Fifteen-year-old Nuonuo admits her world is small, and she has not met many boys, but she is very certain that the man by her side, who has always been there protecting her, is already the best one for her.
The slight unease deep in Da Bao’s heart was soothed by Nuonuo’s heartfelt words. He lowered his head, gently placing his lips on her beautiful eyes that he was infatuated with.
The sky filled with twilight, as their whispered exchanges and tender embraces slowly dissipated, and the silent night donned its dark gray garment, with countless stars twinkling across the vast sky. The two, nestled together, interlocked their fingers, at times chatting about childhood fun, at times discussing their frustrations and highlights during the days apart.
Unknown insects chirped in the background, accompanied by the soft humming of the mountain wind, creating the most wonderful and melodious concerto of the human world.
When one of their stomachs finally growled, they remembered the sumptuous dinner still left in the car.
It was just a hamburger meal bought for a few dozen yuan at McDonald’s, yet the two of them devoured it like it was the most delicious food in the world, in the dim light, the starved pair gobbled up the dinner.
They exchanged glances, like two oppositely charged magnets, naturally coming together for a kiss.
"Hmm, all I taste is beef..." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
After kissing, the little girl frowned critically and pouted her mouth.
Da Bao smiled, pulling her in for another deep kiss, then slowly reminiscing, thoughtfully concluding.
"No, there’s also the taste of salad dressing..."
The two, embracing each other, covered with a thin blanket taken from the car, watched the slanting crescent moon slowly climb to the center of the sky from the east...
...
Early the next morning, Nuonuo, still in her sweet dreams, was awakened by a knock on the door.
"Nuonuo, you promised to see Si Jun off, time to get up."
The knocking was accompanied by Le Tong’s voice.
Nuonuo jolted awake from her sweet dream, scrambled up, shook her head, pulling herself back to reality from the dreamlike landscape of last night.
"Mommy, I’ll go with Nuonuo to see Si Jun off, you and Daddy should head to work."
Da Bao placed a slice of bread with peanut butter in front of the just-seated Nuonuo, naturally arranging everything to follow.
"Alright, we’ll return to the company. Little Treasure, what about you? Want to come with us to the company? At noon, we can take you to the airport."
Little Treasure shook his head, declining Le Tong’s suggestion, "I’ll go to the airport with Brother and Sister, to save a round trip."
Le Tong had no objections to this, after all, the boy would fly back next Saturday, no need to make it seem like a dramatic farewell.
Da Bao, while listening to his mommy and Brother’s conversation, quietly watched Nuonuo, who was peacefully eating bread.
They had returned home in the middle of the night, and now up so early again, he was a bit worried she might not have gotten enough sleep.
However, the little girl seemed to have slept well enough, with just three or four hours of sleep, she had regained her energetic look.
With peace in his heart, Da Bao picked up his cup and took a sip of milk.
"Da Bao, you two came back so late last night, did you get enough sleep?" Le Tong’s gaze drifted with a smile towards the eldest son and daughter.
Da Bao lifted his eyelids to meet his mommy’s intrigued face.
He thought his mommy would tactfully not bring it up, but apparently, he had underestimated the gossip factor in his mommy.
"Thanks for your concern, Mommy. We are young and recover quickly!"
Le Tong set down her cup, covering her heart with a pained expression, and leaned against Ji Rui beside her.
"Mr. Ji, look at your precious son, he’s insinuating we’re old!"
Knowing full well Le Tong was just joking, Ji Rui still habitually glared at Da Bao, then patted her shoulder, soothing her gently.
"Ignore him, when they get married, they will still have to come plead with us!"
Da Bao raised an eyebrow, amused as he looked at his dad, "Daddy, times have changed, you don’t get to decide about our marriage anymore."
Upon hearing this, Le Tong sighed again, "Ah, a grown son doesn’t listen to his mother!"
