Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 837 - 835: Someone’s Going to Get Unhappy (First Update)
"Who goes there? Report your name quickly!"
Little Treasure saw his brother’s face darken, quickly stood up and shouted dramatically.
The fiery red roses were moved aside, revealing a face with glasses; it was Guo Yuhang, Nuonuo’s class’s math representative.
"Si Han, congratulations on your dream coming true!"
Guo Yuhang didn’t reply to Little Treasure but boldly walked up to Nuonuo, ignoring her surprised face or Da Bao’s cold expression, shoved the bright red bouquet into Nuonuo’s arms, and quickly moved to sit next to Yin Zhihao.
Following him was Du Xin, holding a cute teddy bear, which she swiftly handed to Nuonuo, "Congratulations!"
"Thanks, sit by me."
Nuonuo balanced the roses and the teddy bear, winked at Du Xin, signaling her to take the empty seat next to her.
For some reason, Du Xin didn’t sit down immediately and glanced at Guo Yuhang. Da Bao noticed and elbowed Nuonuo’s arm, "Girl, let Du Xin sit by Yuhang."
Nuonuo glanced at the two, then at Da Bao, who winked at her, leading her to the realization.
"Sorry Xinxin, this spot is for Teddy Bear, you sit over there."
Nuonuo placed the teddy bear on the seat next to her, pulled out a single flower, and stuffed the rest of the bouquet into Du Xin’s arms.
"It’s for you!"
Du Xin blushed slightly, "Si Han, this flower..."
Nuonuo secretly squeezed Da Bao’s hand, then leaned over to whisper in Du Xin’s ear, "Xinxin, if I keep this bouquet, someone will be unhappy!"
Du Xin gasped, covered her mouth, and her gaze scanned the room, finally landing on Yin Zhihao.
"Oh, so that’s it..."
Du Xin looked incredulous but finally clutched the flowers tightly.
Nuonuo realized she guessed wrong but given the occasion, she didn’t correct her, allowing the misunderstanding.
"Well, thanks, the flowers are beautiful!"
Du Xin finally walked over to sit next to Guo Yuhang, whispering something in his ear, likely explaining why she accepted Si Han’s re-gifted bouquet.
"What did you tell her just now?" Da Bao couldn’t help but wonder why Du Xin so readily accepted the bouquet.
Nuonuo didn’t meet his gaze, pulled her hand from his grasp, and downed half a cup of juice in one go, "I told her if I keep this bouquet, someone will be unhappy!"
Da Bao gently pinched her cheek, "Finally feeling sorry for me?"
Nuonuo rolled her eyes and pushed his hand away, "I didn’t want to drown in jealousy!"
Then she reached for the remote and shifted her gaze to Du Xin.
"Xinxin, let’s pick a song."
The younger ones gathered to choose songs, while Da Bao ordered beer, drinks, fruit platters, and snacks.
During this, Ren Weiqi and two of Little Treasure’s classmates arrived, each bringing congratulatory gifts for Nuonuo, who chose a song to thank them.
"Nuonuo’s singing is so beautiful, her ethereal voice resembles the Queen of Heaven."
Ren Weiqi was playing dice with Da Bao and Yin Zhihao but was captivated by Nuonuo’s singing.
"Yeah, it’s surprising no talent scout has whisked her away!"
All these years, Yin Zhihao and Ren Weiqi didn’t know Nuonuo was "kidnapped" by a famous clothing brand as their spokesperson years ago.
Da Bao smiled wordlessly, poured a full glass of wine and pushed it to Yin Zhihao, who had just lost, "No need to fret over my Nuonuo, just drink this glass first!"
Yin Zhihao pointed and jokingly cursed Da Bao, then drank it all in one go.
Meanwhile, Little Treasure, chatting and singing with Nuonuo and others, saw Yin Zhihao lose several rounds and drink five or six glasses in quick succession, secretly sympathizing with him. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
"Brother Zhihao, want to sing a chorus?"
Little Treasure’s compassion kicked in, trying to rescue Yin Zhihao from the proverbial fire.
Unfortunately, determined to turn the tables, Yin Zhihao didn’t accept. But against a genius with memorable and analytical skills, losing everything wouldn’t be surprising.
Eventually, Yin Zhihao drank until he was oblivious, passing out on the couch, and Ren Weiqi wasn’t much better, sprawled across the table, muttering about Da Bao being over twenty and still single, while he was already married last year.
Da Bao pretended not to hear his friend’s ramblings; after all, drunken words aren’t to be taken seriously.
Da Bao requested a double room for them to rest.
Little Treasure and his friends, along with Nuonuo, played card games and sang, all sober.
After ensuring his two friends were sent to rest, Da Bao quietly drank tea, watching the screen lost in thought.
Nuonuo’s radar for Da Bao’s mood was sharp as ever. Seeing Da Bao sitting alone, she approached him.
Da Bao glanced at Nuonuo, whose forehead was covered in sticky notes, and couldn’t help but chuckle.
"Hello, zombie!"
Nuonuo grasped Da Bao’s hand and tried to pull him up.
"Brother, help me play, they’re ganging up on me!"
Da Bao glanced at the six over there. Little Treasure’s forehead was clean; his two friends had a few sparse notes, while Du Xin and Guo Yuhang received similar treatment to Nuonuo, with foreheads covered in white sticky notes.
"Alright, let me avenge you!"
Little Treasure knew his place; seeing his brother come over, he tried to resign.
Da Bao gave him a chilly look, "Sit quietly, or forget about asking me for money."
Little Treasure was into investment lately, spending any spare money he had on it.
Threatened Little Treasure obediently sat down.
Nuonuo gave Da Bao her seat, moving to lounge on the sofa while singing softly.
Within half an hour, Da Bao had Little Treasure and his two friends covered with sticky notes.
"Challenge me if you dare!"
Da Bao arrogantly placed the unbeatable cards on the table amidst their anguished cries.
