Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 849 - 847: Being Your Strongest Support (Second Update)
The evening that Nuonuo called Zhang Ziweng, after dinner, when she should have been in the study practicing the piano, she slowly wandered into the living room with a cup of hot tea and sat on the sofa opposite her parents and Da Bao.
The three of them looked at her curiously, Da Bao especially so.
Because, ever since she was little, Nuonuo has always been clingy, especially to Da Bao.
Now, however, she was sitting quietly on the sofa across from them, holding a cup. If Da Bao wasn’t mistaken, the little girl’s expression was very tense, and her hands were tightly twisted together around the cup.
Da Bao noticed Nuonuo’s nervousness, and of course, Le Tong did too, but like her husband and son, she quietly watched Nuonuo, waiting for her to speak up first.
Nuonuo, under the burning gaze of her parents and brother, almost wanted to back out, but reason told her she was not a child anymore; if she wanted something, she had to fight for it herself.
Moreover, the ones in front of her were her most beloved family. Though the whole world might hurt her, exclude her, or point fingers at her actions, these three in front of her would always embrace her and support her, so long as it was something she wanted.
Nuonuo lowered her eyes to watch the curling steam rise from her cup, and after a long moment, she raised her eyelids, gritted her teeth, and went for it.
"Daddy, Mommy, Brother, there’s something I want to discuss with you."
Da Bao’s heart skipped a beat; his strong intuition told him this was not good! 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
As the rightful head of the household, Le Tong also had a premonition that what this girl wanted to discuss would not be a small matter.
"Hmm, speak up! Maybe we can give you some advice!"
Le Tong exchanged a glance with Da Bao. She knew her child best. This girl said it was a discussion, but in her heart, she must have already made up her mind, right?
Even with Le Tong’s encouragement, Nuonuo still nervously glanced at Da Bao. Seeing that Da Bao’s expression remained calm, not showing much resistance, she licked her lips and spoke.
"Daddy, Mommy, I’m sorry, but I want to try to break into the entertainment industry."
Her words brought a long silence and intense gazes from six eyes.
Their reaction was the best possible scenario Nuonuo had imagined. She had once imagined that when they heard her idea, they might just kill her.
And now, she couldn’t deny that they might still want to. But at least they appeared calm on the surface, and neither Brother nor Daddy showed signs of losing their temper.
Le Tong was the first among the three to recover and respond, "Have you really thought this through?"
Her tone was very calm, which slowly brought Nuonuo’s fragile, suspended heart back to the ground.
Nuonuo nodded firmly and glanced at Da Bao, "Yes, I’ve thought it through!"
Le Tong, sitting between the older and younger men, looked from the older to the younger, both of whom were silent, with lips pursed and faces growing increasingly similar.
It seemed the two men had not yet come around. But, in the inevitable standoffs between children and parents, isn’t it always the parents who give in?
In the Ji Family, it’s much the same.
Whether it was Da Bao or Little Treasure, and now Nuonuo, once they made up their minds, it wasn’t easy for them as parents to casually change or influence their decisions.
Having been a mother for so many years, she knew very well that family, in a certain sense, is a bond.
Every child, when their self-awareness matures, will have the thoughts and desires to break free from their parents’ embrace and face the world on their own.
But every parent has an instinct to keep their children close and protected, often not realizing their children have already grown up.
Therefore, parents try their hardest to pull their children back, while the kids strive to break free and venture into the world outside. These opposing forces create a tug of war, and if neither side knows when to let go, harm is inevitable.
Understanding this, Le Tong openly chose to let go. In fact, with Da Bao and Little Treasure, she and Ji Rui let go even earlier. But with Nuonuo, whether it was she, Ji Rui, or Da Bao, they always tried their hardest to pull her into their embrace.
They thought this was loving Nuonuo, but they overlooked that, even though Nuonuo wasn’t as smart as Da Bao and Little Treasure, she would eventually grow up.
"Since this is what you like, go ahead and do it fearlessly. Even though we’re just ordinary people, as long as you kids like it, we as parents will unconditionally support you. Moreover, your daddy does have some money and status, so he always has the ability to let his children do what they like without any worries!"
Le Tong was the fastest among the three to figure things out. After coming to terms with it, her decision wasn’t to pull Nuonuo back but to try and give the little girl a timely push from behind, so she could walk more easily and smoothly in the world she wanted for herself.
Compared to Le Tong’s agreement and strong support, Da Bao remained silent.
Nuonuo took a slight breath of relief, but when she saw Da Bao’s tightly pressed lips, her expression grew tense again.
"Brother..."
She knew her decision was difficult for her family, and she knew that they didn’t like her decision.
But right now, she urgently wanted to become strong, and this strength wasn’t necessarily to become a powerful business mogul like Daddy and Mommy, but just to become an independent and seemingly successful person!
She just hoped that she could, through her own ability, become someone her parents and brother would be proud of. Not like she was now, where no matter what happened, she would subconsciously hide behind her parents and brother and seek shelter like a coward.
But she didn’t have the smart brain like her brother and Little Treasure, and she found it difficult to make some achievements to prove herself.
Therefore, she had to choose the direction she was best at to develop. With this idea in mind, the first thing she thought of was the violin, a skill she had learned for more than ten years.
To be honest, even Teacher Fan and the other professional teachers now thought she didn’t have much talent in this area. Even if she worked harder, she might become an outstanding performer, but never an artist.
So, besides the violin, what other skills or abilities did she have that she could show?
Thus, she thought of Zhang Ziweng and also thought of the famous Director Sun, who she had rejected once but still persisted in wanting to work with her.
Such a big director valued her so much; does it mean she actually has great talent in this area?
If she tried to develop in this direction, would she have the opportunity to become outstanding in some area, like her brother?
"Brother..." Nuonuo softly called again.
Da Bao gave her a meaningful look and then let out a long sigh.
"Alright, if you like it, then go for it. Like Daddy and Mommy, I’ll be your strongest support."
