Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 798 - 796 Ambiguous Actions (Two More Updates)

Ji Yu, in the audience, felt his heart stop as his mind was filled with the image of the playful and beautiful mermaid’s captivating and enchanting smile when she looked back on stage!

The applause from the audience surged like a tide once again, and the mermaid, after leaving that beguiling smile, gracefully vanished into the depths of the sea!

The audience was cheering, but Ji Yu couldn’t help but stand up and quickly ran towards the backstage.

Backstage, Si Han was surrounded by the organizers’ designers and staff. Ji Yu’s urge to fiercely embrace that mermaid was blocked by those irrelevant people, leaving him silently annoyed yet helpless.

Seeing Si Han being pushed by the staff to remove makeup and change clothes in preparation for the upcoming press conference, Ji Yu, for the first time, felt the displeasure of being excluded from Si Han’s life.

Mr. Mai, with sharp eyes, rushed over to urgently calm him down.

"Young Master Ji, we will take care of Si Han. You can wait in the front hall for a while. We still have some things to wrap up here. Don’t worry, I will take good care of her."

After Mr. Mai repeatedly assured him, even though Ji Yu was unhappy, he understood that this was Nuonuo’s job. Squeezing in as an outsider might be possible, but would easily invite gossip. For Nuonuo’s future work, Da Bao finally chose to compromise and obediently allowed himself to be led to the hall for the celebratory banquet.

Half an hour later, when Si Han, dressed in white, was led to the podium by Sister Zhou, Da Bao was casually chatting with a client also from the country.

The client apparently didn’t know that the beauty who performed the finale was the sister of this Young Master Ji. He was simply curious why the Ji Family’s Young Master, who usually had nothing to do with the fashion industry, suddenly had an interest in attending the show.

"Young Master Ji, I didn’t expect you to be interested in fashion and luxury goods. So, is the Ji Family prepared to venture into this industry?"

Ji Yu’s attention was constantly on Si Han, who was sitting on the podium ready for an interview, but he replied to this client, "No, I just received an invitation from the organizers and thought I had some free time, so I came to have a look."

Da Bao firmly denied the client’s speculation about the Ji Family’s intentions.

"Is that so? I often come to see shows, but it’s the first time I’ve seen such an outstanding young Chinese model. That little beauty must be a compatriot, such a rare and charming person! I wonder if the interview later will reveal information about that beauty."

The client’s gaze was also on Si Han.

Da Bao tightened his grip on his wine glass and frowned slightly. He felt very uncomfortable about someone openly eyeing his treasure and fought hard to restrain the urge to drag this person aside for a beating.

Da Bao subtly shifted his body, deliberately using his tall frame to block the client’s blatant gaze.

"Definitely not!" Da Bao concluded through gritted teeth.

"What a pity!" The man’s regret was evident, "Such a beautiful girl, just a few more glances are pleasing to the eye."

Da Bao silently gave the middle finger in his mind and went over this person’s details, deciding that this person probably wouldn’t have much business interaction with the Ji Family in the future!

"Mr. Luo, it seems your secretary is looking for you!"

Da Bao pointed to a woman in a corner of the hall, who indeed was Mr. Luo’s secretary and mistress.

Mr. Luo glanced that way quickly, a hint of panic flashing across his face.

The embarrassment of being exposed showed on his face, and in a hurry, he bid farewell to Ji Yu and rushed to his secretary.

The blockage in Da Bao’s heart eased slightly. He turned around, found a perfect spot, and stood quietly with a wine glass in one hand and the other in his pocket, watching Si Han quietly discussing something with the designer on the podium.

To be honest, Si Han’s spoken English wasn’t very good, but several of the brand’s designers were actually Chinese, and the one sitting beside Si Han now was the same designer who had accompanied her during the last photoshoot for a print advertisement.

Ji Yu had a decent impression of that designer, so he just silently watched from a distance.

After the chief designer on stage finished speaking, the brand’s representative gave a brief speech, and then the host announced the beginning of the press Q&A session.

Da Bao had little interaction with people from the media, but he couldn’t possibly not recognize the logos of the major domestic media outlets.

Seeing the microphones with familiar logos placed in front of Si Han, Da Bao was slightly surprised.

"We all know that Si Han is only fifteen years old and is considered a newcomer. Mr. Ning Yan, as her partner and senior, how do you think Si Han performed today?"

A microphone with a domestic media logo was handed to Ning Yan and Si Han in the middle. Si Han smiled at the reporters and didn’t even glance at Ning Yan. Meanwhile, Ning Yan looked deeply at Si Han with eyes full of affection, and then smiled and said to the questioning reporter.

"How Si Han performed just now is evident to everyone. How do you think she performed?"

This Ning Yan seemed accustomed to playing Tai Chi with the media, neither offending nor cooling the atmosphere, while leaving much room for the reporters’ imagination.

"As an outsider, I think she was excellent! I’d like to know, as an insider, how would you evaluate Si Han’s performance today?" The reporter persistently asked.

Si Han smiled without speaking. After all, the question was directed at Ning Yan, not her, and she just needed to maintain the proper demeanor.

Instead of answering immediately, Ning Yan tilted his head slightly, looked at Si Han seriously, and after a brief silence, suddenly lifted his hand, gently ruffled her hair, and said in an extremely gentle tone, "She is amazing! The most talented person I’ve ever seen!"

Ning Yan’s tone was so light and gentle that, in the ears of others, it carried a subtle ambiguous meaning, combined with his pampering eyes and suggestive action, it immediately stirred the reporters into a frenzy.

Si Han obviously didn’t expect him to suddenly make such an overstepping gesture. Her neck stiffened, but it wouldn’t be appropriate to slap his hand away in front of so many people.

She had to smile and leaned towards the designer on the other side to avoid Ning Yan’s hand, pretending to act coy by resting on the designer’s shoulder.

"All this talent stuff is just nonsense. I really need to thank Brother Dai for his support and guidance!"

In reality, Si Han was merely familiar with this designer named Dai, but there was no real mentorship or friendship, much less the kind of intimate interaction the reporters perceived.

The reporters seemed a bit puzzled by this direction, and the scene became restless again. Standing not far away, Da Bao was completely unsettled now!

If it wasn’t a press conference, he would have certainly rushed up to beat Ning Yan to a pulp!
