Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 793 - 791: The Little Dumb Pig Has Made Progress (First Update)

Although Da Bao said he had already made an appointment with Mr. Mai, Nuonuo still called Mr. Mai herself.

Mr. Mai’s tone was as polite and friendly as ever. He smiled and called her a little friend, then assured her to sleep a little longer, saying she could just arrive at the designated place at 3 PM.

Only then did Nuonuo relax. After breakfast, she dialed home and chatted with her parents for over half an hour before reluctantly getting up to take a stroll around the garden.

She hadn’t noticed when she entered yesterday, but now she looked carefully and found that the flowers and plants in this garden were much like those in her home garden. When she asked the maid who was watering them, the maid replied, "Yes, Miss Le personally bought all these flowers and plants."

Nuonuo increasingly felt her mommy was truly an amazing woman, not only able to advance and retreat together with daddy in their careers but also managing little life matters efficiently. It’s no wonder all family members, young and old, respected and loved her deeply.

She carefully took a few newly cut yellow roses handed to her by the maid, sniffed them under her nose, and the fragrance was so refreshing she couldn’t help but voice her thoughts.

"My mommy is amazing..."

"Yes, she’s beautiful, capable, and has a great temper!" The maid seemed quite familiar with Le Tong.

Hearing others praise and affirm her mommy, Nuonuo felt delighted inside. She returned to the house with a smile, holding the yellow roses, found a vase, arranged the flowers, took a beautiful photo, and posted it on Weibo with a caption: The roses my mommy planted are blooming! Beautiful!

Soon, Le Tong reposted her Weibo and attached a beautiful photo of Nuonuo, with the text: The little princess I raised has grown up! Beautiful!

Nuonuo lay on the sofa, giggling with her phone, then Da Bao, who claimed to be out working, also reposted her Weibo, attaching an ugly photo of her frowning and scratching her head while doing homework, writing: The silly little pig I raised has progressed! Silly and cute!

Finally, even Little Treasure joined the fun, attaching a silly photo of Nuonuo hugging Da Bao and laughing foolishly, writing: Our October mustard has blossomed! Hopelessly infatuated!

Initially, she thought being abroad for a few days without seeing her family would be very lonely. But now, interacting and playing with her family all morning, Nuonuo, far away in a foreign land, didn’t feel lonely at all. Although she couldn’t see them, looking at those warm photos made her feel as if they were right by her side.

Nuonuo’s lunch was quite simple, just a bowl of noodles. Of course, it wasn’t because the maid was lazy; it’s because Nuonuo said she wanted noodles. After getting full, she took a short rest for about half an hour before Brother Zhang took her to see Mr. Mai.

The place where Mr. Mai asked Nuonuo to go was the fashion show venue for two days later. When Nuonuo arrived, Ning Yan was waiting for her at the door.

"Si Han, Mr. Mai asked me to take you backstage."

Repeated setbacks on Nuonuo’s side didn’t cause Ning Yan to retreat. Instead, he seemed to be getting more and more determined.

In this unfamiliar city, Nuonuo’s spoken English was not yet fluent, and Brother Zhang, who accompanied her, wasn’t familiar with people in the fashion circle either. Therefore, although Nuonuo resisted inside, she had to accept Ning Yan’s initiative and attentiveness.

"Si Han, have you had lunch?"

As he spoke, Ning Yan glanced at Brother Zhang, who was following behind Nuonuo.

Brother Zhang, who had been with Ji Rui Letong for several years, was not just a simple driver; he often helped manage interpersonal relationships. So, even though Da Bao and Nuonuo hadn’t instructed him, he bought some pastries and snacks on the way, and now he and the two bodyguards accompanying them were carrying bags full of items.

"Yes, I’ve eaten. Have you? I brought some pastries. Let’s eat some together later."

Ning Yan, being a professional model, often had an empty stomach all day because of shows.

The models backstage were in a similar situation. Thus, when Brother Zhang invited the staff and models backstage to eat snacks, the atmosphere backstage immediately livened up.

Initially, most people harbored a sense of exclusion and hostility towards this newcomer. Even though Mr. Mai repeatedly emphasized being polite to this little sister, the more he emphasized it, the more unwilling the models became.

It’s said that when you take something from someone, you are obligated. The exquisitely delicious snacks brought by Brother Zhang quickly eased much of the dissatisfaction and discontent among the models and staff.

Besides Ning Yan, several other male and female models also came forward actively to greet Nuonuo.

Standing beside Mr. Mai, Nuonuo smiled sweetly, using her imperfect English to communicate with the brothers and sisters. Perhaps due to the overly dense crowd or her shyness, Nuonuo’s delicately pretty face flushed red, and when she met others’ eyes, her dark eyes seemed to glisten with moisture.

Such a seemingly harmless, shy, and even adorably pitiful little sister quickly changed the attitude of most people who had initially been wary of her, and more and more people started to gather around.

Mr. Mai never expected the little girl’s arrival would cause such a sensation. He waved to summon a woman in her thirties with yellow skin, "Zhou, you’ll be with Si Han these days. Take her around now and tell her some tips, let the others finish their snacks and continue training."

Nuonuo obediently nodded to the woman, "Hello Sister Zhou, please advise me."

Sister Zhou warmly held her hand, leading her away from the center of the crowd, "I’ve often heard Mai mention you, and seeing you in person, you are indeed very cute."

Nuonuo’s face turned a few shades redder, "Mr. Mai overpraises me!"

Although Nuonuo had been the brand’s spokesperson for several years, she had previously only followed photographers and directors to shoot print photos and short films, never visiting the headquarters, nor had she shared the stage with so many models, so she felt quite nervous.

Although Mr. Mai had previously hired a teacher to teach her a lot of runway techniques, it’s natural to say she wasn’t nervous since Nuonuo had zero practical experience.

"Sister Zhou, I’m a newbie who doesn’t understand anything. Please point out anything I’m doing wrong."

Nuonuo had the awareness of a newcomer, and her words were very sincere. Sister Zhou, leading her around backstage for a short while, gradually had a warmer gaze than her initial curious one.

Brother Zhang and the other two bodyguards stayed close behind Nuonuo the whole time. Perhaps Mr. Mai had briefed Sister Zhou beforehand, so she directly ignored the three of them.

However, other models and staff began whispering, speculating about the background of this little sister.

On the first day of her appearance, she brought a lot of limited edition pastries to visit the crew, and bodyguards closely followed her. It was evident she must be the child of a wealthy and powerful family.
