Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 786 - 784: All Asking for Trouble. II (Second Update)
Da Bao stared at Ning Yan’s back for a while before turning around to solemnly instruct Nuonuo, who was still buried in her meal.
"Nuonuo, try to have less contact with that guy in the future."
The slow-on-the-uptake Nuonuo, her mouth full of food, hurriedly lifted her head to glance blankly at Da Bao.
"Why?"
Da Bao wiped a sesame seed from the corner of her lips with his fingertip, "No reason, just don’t bother with him outside of work."
Nuonuo responded with an "Oh" but didn’t ask further, lowering her head to continue eating.
Da Bao thought she’d taken his advice to heart, but little did he know, she hadn’t taken his words seriously at all.
By the time she finally reacted, the three siblings were already seated in the car on their way home.
Little Treasure sat in the back seat, Da Bao was driving, and Nuonuo naturally sat in the passenger seat.
"Brother, you told me not to bother with Ning Yan, but he’s very nice to me! Backstage during makeup, he even taught me quite a few on-the-spot skills."
Da Bao kept his eyes on the road ahead, asking her calmly, "Girl, tell me, what’s the phrase that follows ’kindness without cause’?"
Nuonuo answered without a thought, "Kindness without cause, either a traitor or a thief," casting him a sidelong glance with a hint of mild disdain.
Da Bao nodded, "Exactly, you know it well, so why bother asking why you shouldn’t bother with him?"
Nuonuo was left speechless, her mouth slightly agape.
Sitting in the back, Little Treasure glanced up at Nuonuo, snorting coldly, "Idiot!"
Nuonuo paused, seemingly remembering something.
"Brother, did you see it wrong? He doesn’t even know we’re from the Ji Family, so why would he be nice to me? I heard from the makeup artist that he’s quite famous, and I’m just a newbie..."
Just now, after hearing Little Treasure call her an idiot, Da Bao felt a bit unjust for the little girl and wanted to say she was just a bit naive, definitely not an idiot.
But hearing her now, he couldn’t help but snort, "Tsk, she really is an idiot!"
Little Treasure leaned forward, a face full of gloating smiles.
"Brother, kudos to you! You’ve really brought this upon yourself!"
Da Bao precisely knocked Little Treasure on the head, who was sticking his head in the middle, "Sit properly, or you’ll be the one bringing trouble upon yourself!"
Little Treasure chuckled as he shrank back to the back seat, "Brother, you and Sister are truly a natural pair!"
Nuonuo, exhausted from a busy day, was a bit slower on the uptake than usual and didn’t catch the implication in Little Treasure’s words, only assuming he really meant to praise her and Brother as a great match.
"Little Treasure, there’s no need to sow discord here, of course I’m naturally a match with Brother."
Little Treasure lazily lay back in his seat, "Brother, I actually understand, for smart people like us, there’s hardly anything that’s a challenge. If it weren’t for Sister being this big trouble, your life would be really dull, right?!"
Nuonuo finally understood, so Little Treasure’s "natural pair" had this meaning!
"Stupid Little Treasure, if you keep spouting nonsense, I won’t accompany you next week." A neck pillow flew out and accurately hit Little Treasure’s upturned face.
Little Treasure hadn’t had a chance to respond when he heard Da Bao speak.
"Little Treasure, you’re not entirely wrong. Without her, my life would indeed be dull, but she isn’t big trouble, at least not to me."
Nuonuo, ready to lash out at Little Treasure, blushed at Da Bao’s unintended confession, afraid that her brothers would notice her embarrassment, so she sat upright, her eyes fixed on the road ahead.
"Tsk, so cheesy!" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
Little Treasure covered his face with the neck pillow thrown at him, indicating he couldn’t stand seeing his brother delighting in his own fall.
Da Bao slightly curled his lips, glancing at the pretending-to-sleep Little Treasure in the rearview mirror. "Little Treasure, when you meet that someone, you’ll be just like me."
Little Treasure snorted gloomily, "Hmph, I won’t—I would die from embarrassment!"
Da Bao chuckled, "You will! Because you are a Ji!"
Nuonuo, eyes fixed on the road, trembled slightly at Da Bao’s words, vaguely feeling that her mommy might have said something similar to her.
Although the content was a bit different, it roughly conveyed the same thing.
Nuonuo frowned, recalling a vacation on the island some time ago when her mommy told her that the three men of the Ji Family had a common trait.
At that time, Mommy spoke of a shared trait of being affectionate.
And now what Brother said seemed not to be about being affectionate.
So according to Brother’s statement, aside from the common trait Mommy mentioned, did Daddy, Brother, and Little Treasure have another common trait?
Nuonuo was a bit curious about what the other common trait might be but couldn’t figure it out no matter how hard she thought.
It was just like Brother said Ning Yan was being overly kind without cause; until now, she hadn’t thought of what kind of kindness he was showing her.
"Nuonuo!"
"Ah?!" Immediately, Nuonuo turned her gaze to Da Bao.
"Have you figured it out?"
The little girl in the passenger seat, frowning and pondering, sparked Da Bao’s faint expectation; maybe this girl had really had an epiphany.
"Figured out what?" Her face full of confusion clearly indicated that her thoughts had never been on the same channel as Da Bao’s.
"Forget it..."
Da Bao let out a long sigh; it didn’t matter if she didn’t get it; pointing it out might not be good for her.
After thinking it over, Da Bao could only comfort himself, realizing that her complete obliviousness to unrelated men’s hints and goodwill wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.
And for someone so oblivious to others’ hints and goodwill to willingly acknowledge her feelings for him—it was indeed something worth celebrating for him.
"Brother, if you have something to say, just say it straight, okay?"
Nuonuo’s curiosity was piqued; she obviously knew her brother and Little Treasure had left things unsaid, yet they just wouldn’t tell her the truth, leaving her feeling quite helpless and a bit annoyed.
Just at that moment, as the red light came on, the car came to a steady stop, and Da Bao reached over to pat her head.
"Nuonuo, some things are better for you not to know. They’re irrelevant matters that, even if known, hold no meaning."
Thinking deeply, could it be that Nuonuo’s feelings for him were the reason, subconsciously blocking out anything from other men?
At the thought of this possibility, Da Bao’s mood inexplicably improved.
In the same way, knowing that many girls liked him, but as long as he didn’t respond or care, others’ hints would be meaningless.
Nuonuo glanced at him, and although she was slightly puzzled, since he wouldn’t speak, she knew it wouldn’t be right to force him either.
