Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 789 - 787: Devoted Only to Me (Part 1)

Nuonuo’s attitude towards Ning Yan is completely ignoring him.

Da Bao really appreciates her decisive methods, but is also quite surprised. Deep down, he always thought Nuonuo had a soft personality, easy to manipulate and use.

Turns out, he misjudged this girl.

"Nuonuo, did you ever reply to that Ning Yan later?"

Seizing the moment as Nuonuo inserted a pencil into the sharpener, Da Bao timely raised the question bothering him.

Of course, Da Bao wasn’t reminding her to reply, but wanted to know how she’d handle men who make unsolicited advances.

"Why should I reply to him? Just look at his message, it’s all cheesy flirting without any substance, why should I bother responding?"

It seems calling this girl completely unaware of social conventions is somewhat biased. But indeed, she is quite oblivious to romance. With Ning Yan’s qualifications, if he stands out in the street, countless women would shamelessly seek his attention.

Sure enough, she truly is his Nuonuo, immune to any man except him, Da Bao.

Thinking of this, Da Bao couldn’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction.

"So if he really had a question for you, would you reply then?"

Da Bao still wasn’t assured and continued to test the waters.

If the person is purely trying to be friends with Nuonuo, Da Bao wouldn’t object, but Da Bao felt Ning Yan was more enamored with Nuonuo’s looks, possibly even speculating about her complex family background.

Therefore, he still needed to be vigilant with this person.

Nuonuo withdrew the sharpened pencil and started drawing with a ruler.

"Depends on the question. If he genuinely needs my help and I can answer it, I’ll respone to him."

Da Bao felt maybe he celebrated too soon. Any man with some experience in chasing girls, when ordinary tactics fail, would adjust his strategy. In other words, Da Bao had to keep a careful eye on Ning Yan.

"Then if after you reply, he says he wants to invite you out for coffee to thank you, would you agree to that?"

Da Bao asked worriedly, completely forgetting that Nuonuo was in the middle of homework and as her tutor, he shouldn’t be distracting her with unrelated questions.

Nuonuo sensed her brother’s odd behavior, set her pencil between her fingers, propped her chin, and cocked her head at Da Bao, "Brother, how come you’ve become such a curious youth?"

Da Bao momentarily didn’t know how to explain his worries and concerns, admitting he wasn’t assured about Nuonuo would not only hurt her self-esteem but also his own.

Nuonuo propped her chin and gazed at him for a while, seeing no answer from him, suddenly a glint appeared in her beautiful eyes.

"Oh..." she drew out the tone, her eyes shining with teasing delight as she moved closer, wrapped an arm around Da Bao’s neck, and leaned her forehead on his.

"Brother!" Nuonuo’s clear voice brimmed with playful laughter.

"Hmm?!" Da Bao stared unwaveringly into those crescent-moon-like smiling eyes.

"Are you jealous?" Nuonuo was quite delighted with this discovery.

All along, in front of her brother, she would inexplicably feel inferior. No matter how hard she tried to strengthen herself, in the face of her brother’s superior genes, she still felt they were like elephants and she was merely a tiny ant.

But now, she realized that this little ant actually had the ability to make the elephant angry and take notice, her always deflated confidence around her brother instantly inflated.

Da Bao originally wanted to conceal, but seeing the amusement and the slight smugness in Nuonuo’s eyes made him decide to be honest for once.

"Yes, I am indeed jealous."

His candid admission was because he suddenly realized that whether male or female, upon knowing they have the ability to make a lover jealous, their confidence tends to soar immediately.

After all, making a lover feel threatened by a rival is the strongest proof of extraordinary personal charm.

Regarding Da Bao’s jealousy issue, Nuonuo wasn’t entirely sure. She said it partly from speculation and partly as a joke.

After all, her Brother Da Bao, whether in appearance, IQ, or career achievement, could easily outshine Ning Yan.

So, him being jealous of Ning Yan sounded like a fantasy.

"Ji Yu, are you really jealous?" Nuonuo widened her eyes and looked at Da Bao.

She seriously suspected whether he admitted jealousy just to satisfy her vanity.

Da Bao again honestly nodded, "I really was jealous, but not now, it was when I saw him holding you on stage."

Nuonuo was very satisfied with Da Bao’s honesty, giggling and gave him a kiss, "So, Brother finally realized I am not an ugly duckling that nobody likes, right?"

Da Bao affectionately pecked her lips, "Who said you’re an ugly duckling? My Nuonuo has always been a beautiful swan, but this swan always only loyally devoted to me, so I don’t need to worry about her flying towards other men, right?"

As he spoke, he leaned closer to her eyes.

Nuonuo locked eyes with his deep dark eyes that seemed to hold a strong attraction, unwittingly, she felt drawn into them.

"Hmm..." Nuonuo felt she had been hypnotized by those two bottomless pools, her mind went blank, and she relied only on instinct to respond to his questions.

Da Bao’s lips lightly landed on her eyebrows and lips, while she, with a shy response, gave him the answer he most wanted.

Afterward, Da Bao never asked Nuonuo about Ning Yan again, because that night’s conversation made him understand that Nuonuo is not as naive and easily deceived as he thought, she has a clear distinction between who to deal with and who is just a work partner.

And Nuonuo, since Brother Dabao mentioned Ning Yan that evening, received several more messages from Ning Yan.

Just as Da Bao predicted, the subsequent messages came with some questions.

For instance, one time he asked what the intent of a certain musical piece was, the reason being, of course, because he heard Nuonuo has been playing the violin since the age of five and is familiar with classical music.

Nuonuo didn’t reply directly but forwarded the information to Mr. Mai, suggesting Mr. Mai finds Ning Yan a specialized teacher to supplement his knowledge.

One day after dinner, the family of four sat in the living room watching TV and chatting, and she casually mentioned this matter, along with her handling method, which amused her parents and brother greatly.

"Girl, you’re ruthless!" Le Tong was not stingy in giving a thumbs up to his beloved daughter.

Da Bao couldn’t help but grow curious again, "Girl, you’re so resolute, aren’t you afraid he’ll embarrass you in future filming?"
