Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 801 - 799: Don’t Plead for Another Man (First Update)
Nuonuo hesitated for a moment, Da Bao took in her reaction completely, and asked, "Is it because of Ning Yan?"
Nuonuo thought for a moment and finally nodded honestly, then looked up at Da Bao with apologetic eyes. "Brother, my willfulness has caused you trouble, hasn’t it?"
Da Bao was slightly taken aback, then reacted, "Did Mr. Liu say something to you?"
Nuonuo remained silent, lowered her head, and continued to eat her meal. The originally delicious fried rice now tasted like chewing wax.
"Nuonuo, what you did was right, and you didn’t cause me trouble, so don’t overthink things that aren’t important."
From a very young age, Da Bao always longed to become strong and invincible, and the root of this desire was that his strength and invincibility could make his loved ones and those he cared about live happily.
In simpler terms, this longing was, in fact, a strong protective desire for those he liked and cared about.
And on the list of people he wanted to protect, his parents and Nuonuo Xiaobao had always been tied for first place.
In his view, if he didn’t have the ability to let them live happily, what was the point of so-called strength and invincibility?
At present, what could make Nuonuo happy was a stage that the Ji Family couldn’t give her but could showcase her talents, and what he could provide was, to the best of his ability, a clean, non-turbulent stage for her.
As for the likes of Ning Yan, Da Bao found it easy to make him stay out of Nuonuo’s way.
Under Da Bao’s gentle yet firm gaze, Nuonuo finally nodded and then silently finished all the fried rice on her plate.
She took the napkin Da Bao handed her and wiped the grease off her lips.
"Brother, regarding Ning Yan, give him a chance. It’s not easy for him either." When it came to talking, Nuonuo was still soft-hearted.
Da Bao remained noncommittal, got up, and dragged her out of the dining room.
"Brother..." Nuonuo clung to Da Bao’s arm, acting coquettishly.
From her understanding of Da Bao, his pretending not to hear her meant he would deal with the matter in his own way.
Da Bao placed his hand on her waist, leaned his head over, and pressed his forehead against hers, the dark pupils staring straight into the depths of her eyes.
"Girl, don’t act coquettish and plead with me for another man!"
Nuonuo shivered involuntarily!
In fact, Da Bao’s tone was calm, not much different from when he usually spoke to others.
The problem was, Da Bao’s tone was always very gentle when he spoke to Nuonuo, quite different from his attitude and tone with others, so when it was no different from usual, it meant he was really angry.
Nuonuo wisely fell silent, holding onto Da Bao’s arm and sitting on the sofa, subconsciously leaning against him.
Da Bao opened his arms and pulled her into his embrace, switched on the TV with the remote, "What do you want to watch? Movies or concerts? Or, we could also watch some top fashion shows."
Nuonuo dared not linger on the issue of Ning Yan any longer, and nestled in his arms, obediently replied, "I want to watch the Queen of Heaven’s concert at the Capital Stadium last year, do we have it?"
The Queen of Heaven Nuonuo mentioned referred to Zhou Lan, a trailblazing superstar.
This person, with a distinctive personality, dominated the music scene for over a decade without a trace of the entertainment industry’s dust. Over the past two years, Nuonuo had somehow become wildly obsessed with her.
Unfortunately, this Queen of Heaven has been semi-retired in recent years and hasn’t released an album for several years. Last year, she held a charity concert for 30,000 people to raise funds for charity; reportedly, 30,000 tickets sold out in minutes. At that time, Nuonuo specially asked Yang Sheng to find a way to buy a ticket, but she missed the concert due to an important exam.
"Let me check..."
Da Bao initially assumed this side’s cable on-demand might not have Zhou Lan’s concert videos, unexpectedly discovering that it included almost all of Zhou Lan’s concert videos, large and small, since her debut.
"It seems, Zhou Lan is really quite popular!"
Da Bao didn’t know much about the entertainment industry and had little contact with it. He only knew Zhou Lan was very popular and successful domestically; he didn’t know her influence was also significant abroad, as she won the World Outstanding Young Person award a few years ago.
Nuonuo and Da Bao were the exact opposite; she had never chased celebrities before, but ever since she madly liked Zhou Lan, she became deeply knowledgeable about Zhou Lan’s experiences and achievements over the years.
Thus, as she watched the concert, she educated Da Bao about Zhou Lan’s achievements and struggles.
Da Bao wasn’t interested in these things, but he listened patiently to anything Nuonuo said.
"So, she’s a creative all-around Queen of Heaven?"
Da Bao moved the little girl slightly away, placed a cushion behind her back to let her recline while watching TV, and put her small legs on his knee, massaging her ankles and calves while listening to her provide details.
"Yes, she was born into a musical family, her mother is a famous pianist, and she started learning to play the piano at the age of three. She herself once said if she weren’t a singer, she would definitely have chosen the same path as her mother."
Upon hearing Nuonuo’s explanation, Da Bao realized that the internationally award-winning female pianist was Zhou Lan’s mother. No wonder Zhou Lan had no trace of vulgarity and carried an aura of detachment; it turned out she came from a family with such rich artistic heritage.
"No wonder you like her so much!"
Despite Nuonuo being barely part of the fashion circle, her nature remained incredibly innocent. Of course, this had to do with her young age, but the biggest reason was her pure, sincere personality, which found it difficult to accept deceit and impurities.
And Zhou Lan, who caught her attention, obviously shared many qualities with Nuonuo.
"Teacher Tan knows her; she promised to get two autographed photos of Zhou Lan for me." Nuonuo excitedly showed off to Da Bao.
Da Bao gently brushed her hair and noticed her excellent mood; it seemed she’d already completely forgotten about pleading for Ning Yan.
After watching nearly two hours of concert footage, the exhausted Nuonuo was already dozing off.
Always accompanying her, Da Bao said nothing, bent down to carry her to the bedroom, and the overwhelmed Nuonuo didn’t even have the strength to struggle. After Da Bao tucked her in, she used her remaining consciousness to cling to Da Bao’s neck, kissed his lips, muttered "Goodnight, Brother!", tilted her head, and drifted into a deep sleep.
Da Bao supported himself on the bed, looked at her helplessly yet dotingly as she fell asleep in an instant, bent down to gently kiss her warm face and lips a few times, then stood up and quietly left her bedroom.
The next day, Da Bao and Nuonuo sat on the plane heading back home.
Meanwhile, on a well-known domestic website, a report broke on the front page about a male model’s improper lifestyle.
This detailed report with pictures did not name the male model, but from the clear and recognizable silhouette, it wasn’t hard to tell that this male model was Ning Yan, who had earlier made a high-profile announcement as the spokesperson for a famous international clothing brand.
