Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 839 - 837: It’s All Your Fault! (First Update)

At this moment, Nuonuo, who was marching back and forth under the shouts of the officers on a scorching hot training field, was indeed not used to it.

But by the second day, Nuonuo had basically adapted to the physical torment of the high-intensity training. What she couldn’t adapt to was the mental anguish of being away from home and missing her brother and family.

Besides the three years of separation when Da Bao was studying abroad, the longest time Nuonuo and Da Bao were apart was when Da Bao worked in M City.

But that kind of separation was still different from now. Back then, if Nuonuo really couldn’t bear it, she could buy a plane ticket to visit Da Bao. And even if they couldn’t see each other every day, they could rely on modern high-tech tools to see each other’s faces or hear each other’s voices, and at worst, look at the warm messages on her phone to soothe her longing.

But now it’s different. Except for being allowed to make a call home on the first night to report her safety, for the next half month, they strictly executed a completely isolated, arduous training.

Half a month later, Da Bao deliberately arrived nearly an hour early at the camp to wait for Nuonuo. As someone who had been through it, he was mentally prepared, but when he saw the tanned and thinner Nuonuo, he was still stunned. It wasn’t until Nuonuo ran up to him with her luggage and threw herself into his arms that he came to his senses.

He vigorously rubbed the little girl’s head and then forcefully turned her face up to scrutinize her carefully.

When he clearly saw that the little girl’s originally fair and clean face seemed to have changed skin, he felt heartbroken. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

The little girl had not only become tanned and thin but also had a few unsightly pimples on her forehead, and her two dark circles were particularly glaring.

"Was it hard?"

Da Bao always knew that to truly grow up, hardships and challenges were indispensable, and he himself had gone through these to grow up slowly.

However, everyone understands the reasoning, but watching someone you care about suffer and toil, it’s impossible not to feel heartache.

Usually, the stubborn Nuonuo unexpectedly nodded obediently this time, her aggrieved little eyes almost making Da Bao unable to resist kissing her right there in public.

But Nuonuo didn’t give him the chance to act, instead burying her head back into his chest with a muffled voice coming from his chest, "Brother, I miss you so much!"

Even though it was a soft whisper, to Da Bao it was thunderous. It made his entire being tingle, and the half month’s anguish of separation and the pain of longing were instantly healed by these few simple words.

Nuonuo didn’t have a good time these past two weeks, and naturally, Da Bao didn’t fare much better. Knowing the source of the problem, he tried countless ways to distract himself from the pain, such as going out drinking with Yin Zhihao or playing some basketball to sweat it out. But these previously effective methods were barely helpful this time.

And it was not until this moment, when he was completely comforted by Nuonuo’s words, that Da Bao seemed to truly understand what it means to cure a heartache with a heart remedy.

"Me too!"

Da Bao lowered his head to lightly kiss her hair, took her luggage with one hand, and wrapped his arm around her to lead her towards the car.

From the time Da Bao sat in the driver’s seat until the car drove several kilometers away from the camp gates, Nuonuo didn’t speak. She just sat slightly turned, staring boldly and directly at Da Bao, who was focusing on driving.

"What’s up?"

Even someone as thick-skinned as Da Bao felt a bit uneasy being stared at so openly and directly.

"Do I have something dirty on my face?" He touched his face with his slender fingers, glancing slightly at the girl sitting beside him.

"No!" Nuonuo shook her head like a rattle.

Even though she knew her gaze was causing Da Bao misunderstandings, Nuonuo couldn’t tear her eyes away from his face.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to, she simply couldn’t.

At this moment, she vaguely understood why some fangirls, upon meeting their idols, would have heart-shaped eyes, looking like they wanted to eat them up. Because now, her gaze was probably similar to those fangirls’ expressions.

Not seeing him for half a month, he seemed to be even more handsome than before. His new haircut revealed most of his intelligent forehead, emphasizing his handsome and sunny disposition. His thick black eyebrows were as sharp and heroic as ever, his thin and pretty lips were still as sensual, and his focused gaze while driving had her heart thumping wildly.

Da Bao was about to be set on fire by her burning eyes. If he didn’t understand her situation, then he would truly be an idiot!

He feigned calmness and glanced at Nuonuo with a smile, "Baby, are you really hungry?"

"Huh?" Nuonuo looked at Da Bao with large confused eyes.

Da Bao rubbed his nose, "Why do I feel like you want to pounce on me and eat me up?" He thought himself thick-skinned, but he still felt somewhat embarrassed at this moment.

A twenty-four-year-old grown man being stared at by an eighteen-year-old girl with such a naked "I want to eat you" gaze didn’t make him feel ashamed, rather, he felt a sense of pleasure and hidden delight.

Nuonuo, having been teased so openly, blushed instantly. Originally turned slightly towards him, her body stiffened and turned straight, her hands resting properly on her lap, while her head turned a complete hundred and eighty degrees to look out the window, not daring to gaze at Da Bao wantonly anymore.

How could Da Bao let go of such a great opportunity to tease her? While the car was stopped at a red light, he leaned over and forcibly turned the awkward girl’s face, firmly pressing his lips against hers.

The red light lasted a total of ninety seconds, and it wasn’t until the sound of "beep beep" came, signaling the light change, that Da Bao let Nuonuo go. He returned to the driver’s seat as if nothing had happened, calmly driving the car across the zebra crossing.

Nuonuo, her face as red as an apple, dared not look at him, instead turning towards the window, her gaze wandering aimlessly. Unintentionally, she locked eyes with a young male driver in the adjacent lane. The driver grinned at her and gave her a thumbs up.

Nuonuo immediately realized the reason behind the man’s smile and thumbs-up, hastily withdrawing her gaze and hurriedly rolling up the wide-open car window.

Da Bao seemed to be focused on driving, but the corner of his eye kept observing Nuonuo’s reactions. When he saw her flustered face turn even redder and her hurried attempt to roll the car window up, lowering her head in embarrassment, he unceremoniously burst into laughter.

Originally feeling depressed for having put on a free kissing show, Nuonuo, hearing his laughter, suddenly lifted her head and glared at him fiercely.

"It’s all your fault!"

Da Bao raised his hand in surrender and chuckled as he coaxed her, "Okay, okay, it’s all my fault! I promise, next time I kiss you, I’ll make sure to roll the window up."
