Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 857 - 855: Everyone Is Working Hard for the Future (Part 1)
How exactly did Nuonuo persuade Da Bao?
Actually, it was quite simple. She just told Da Bao, "Brother, I consulted Doctor Fu. He said with my current weight, losing ten pounds in three months won’t harm my body at all."
When Da Bao heard this, he knew she was determined to lose weight no matter what. After their call, he immediately dialed Doctor Fu and got the exact same answer as Nuonuo said, so he reported back to Tian Fang.
Of course, although he agreed to Nuonuo’s request to lose weight, he didn’t dare let Tian Fang find those nutritionists who specialize in designing weight loss plans for celebrities. Instead, he entrusted this matter to the person he trusted the most—his mother, Le Tong!
On the day Nuonuo returned home, the efficient Le Tong had already obtained a weight loss plan from a trusted professional nutritionist. When she handed it to Nuonuo, the little girl was astonished.
"So fast?"
Le Tong pinched Nuonuo’s slightly chubby cheeks, "Of course, don’t you see who’s taking the lead here?"
Nuonuo hugged Le Tong and gave her a loud kiss, "Thank you, Mommy!"
As Le Tong continued to pinch the softness on her face, she lamented, "Oh, what a pity, in the next few months, this chubby little face will be gone."
Nuonuo raised her hand to touch her face and reassured her with a smile, "It’s okay. After filming, I’ll gain it back!"
Le Tong had witnessed all of Nuonuo’s hard work during this time. She knew that her daughter was determined to be the best. As a mother, even though she knew her daughter was working hard and felt sorry for her, she couldn’t possibly not support her!
So, from that day onwards, Le Tong and Aunt Guan strictly prepared meals according to the nutritionist’s plan for Nuonuo. Nuonuo, who had never brought a lunchbox to class before, began each morning by having breakfast with her parents and then taking a carefully prepared weight-loss lunchbox from her mother.
This diet lunchbox, although entirely vegetarian, was crafted by Le Tong into a colorful, aromatic, and flavorful meal. Often, while Tian Fang indulged in rich meaty dishes, she couldn’t help but salivate over Nuonuo’s vegetarian lunches.
Nuonuo was already five days into her diet, while Da Bao had not been in R City for these five days.
"Brother, why has this business trip of yours lasted so long?"
Before sleeping, Nuonuo lay on her side on her bed, looking at Da Bao’s projected face on the big screen.
"Well, the company has expanded into a new business area, requiring more time-consuming handling."
As for which field the new business was in, Da Bao didn’t mention it, and Nuonuo didn’t feel it was appropriate to ask. After all, even if she did ask, she might not understand.
"Oh... then make sure you get plenty of rest. Try not to drink too much during social events. A few days ago, I had a classmate send some Cardamom Honey from her hometown. It’s said to be good for the stomach. Remember to take some next time you go on a trip."
Nuonuo vaguely knew that Da Bao had been seriously ill when he was young, but she didn’t know the details. However, whenever Da Bao went on a business trip or had social engagements, she always reminded him to drink less and rest early.
These words, which sounded like a nagging mom, were precisely the words that warmed Da Bao’s heart the most.
"Yes, I know. And you, after eating the diet meals for these few days, have you felt dizzy, have buzzing in your ears, or feel weak all over?"
Da Bao had a teasing smile on his face, but in reality, he was genuinely worried.
The three siblings were carefully raised by their mother, eating food that might not have been the most luxurious, but definitely the finest. Because they had a mother with excellent cooking skills, none of the three siblings were exceptions; they were all food lovers. For her to cut down on food meant taking away the little happiness in life.
"Brother, you don’t need to worry about that. Mommy’s vegetarian dishes are incredibly delicious. I’ve had such a good appetite these days that I was afraid that instead of losing weight, I’d gain it."
Joining his legs on the hotel bed, Da Bao wished he could go through the screen and fly home right away to touch her face and body, to see if it was really true that she hadn’t lost weight, but possibly even gained some.
If that were the case, he would be quite pleased.
Because he’d always thought the plump, soft feeling was actually quite nice!
Unfortunately, ever since the little girl shot up like bamboo when she was about eleven or twelve, she had maintained a slim, tall figure.
"So, did you gain weight or lose it?" Da Bao couldn’t help but ask.
"Of course, I lost weight! I lost one pound!"
Pinching her face, Nuonuo bragged, "But Mommy said it was completely unnoticeable, and that I still look very healthy and good!"
Just like that, Nuonuo continued to strictly adhere to the nutritionist’s diet plan, and by the time the Chinese New Year arrived, with more than a month left until filming began, she had successfully lost five pounds.
Learning from Da Bao and Le Tong, who had been worried sick about her dietary changes, they were relieved to see she was slimming down without her health suffering. In fact, she looked even healthier and sturdier.
The Chinese New Year carried on as lively as ever. Although the three siblings had grown up, when they were home, they reverted to their childhood antics—playing, causing mischief, and occasionally cuddling with Le Tong to act cute. Le Tong, as their mother, gladly enjoyed this, while President Ji, who often felt neglected, invariably got quite jealous.
Thus, he made a strong declaration, "Next year’s New Year, go on vacation yourselves! Or, your mom and I will go on vacation and let you play at home!"
President Ji’s decision, as the head of the family, was unanimously vetoed by the other four members of the Ji Family.
The big babies insisted, "No way, during the New Year, Mommy has to be with us! Dad, you can’t be too greedy and domineering. Mommy is with you day and night the rest of the year, and we don’t get jealous, right? Why should you get jealous over these few days during the New Year?"
President Ji, speechless, had to turn to his wife for help.
But he forgot that in this world, when mothers face a choice between their husband and their children, they always choose their children!
"Mr. Ji, at your age, why are you still competing with a bunch of kids?" And sure enough, President Ji’s plea was met with a disdainful glance from his wife.
The family spent New Year’s this way, with a lot of fun and laughter, realizing soon that Little Treasure would be returning to Beijing.
This year, Little Treasure, who is in his senior year, has just one semester left before graduation. Currently in an internship, he was helping Yang Sheng run some business in Beijing. Originally, he planned to stay in Beijing to help Yang Sheng for a few more years after graduation. None of the family members, including Da Bao, objected to this plan.
However, after the New Year, he stayed back and began working at the Ji Family company.
Nuonuo found it curious and asked him, to which he replied, "Sister Liu’s boyfriend was summoned back to the country by Uncle to join the Yang Family, so my help was no longer needed there."
Nuonuo didn’t think much of it, nor did she have the time to ponder it, because soon she would be joining the film crew for shooting.
