Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 871 - 869: Am I Going to Be an Uncle? (Part 1)
Early the next morning, Da Bao walked out of Nuonuo’s room and headed straight to the dining room, where Little Treasure was sitting, holding a glass of milk while reading the newspaper. He raised an eyebrow at him, "Am I about to become an uncle?"
Though his tone was playful, there wasn’t a hint of joking in his bright eyes; he was quite serious.
Da Bao knocked on his head and pulled out a chair to sit down, "What nonsense are you talking? She’s still young!"
No one knows how many times the brothers have had this conversation in private.
Little Treasure, seemingly unconcerned, licked the milk off his lips, "Who knows? You’re already twenty-four!"
Da Bao glared at him, picked up a slice of bread and spread jam on it while saying, "What’s the deal with me being twenty-four? I’m not a beast, you don’t have to remind me all the time; I know this well in my heart. But it’s you, picking up the call from the surname Qi last night—didn’t go too far, did you?"
Little Treasure, however, seemed to ignore his last words, "In any case, make sure to let me know if you do something, so I can be mentally prepared!"
Da Bao was both amused and exasperated, stood up and stuffed the jam-covered bread into young master’s mouth with a laugh, "Young Master Ji Huan, I’m really curious, what exactly are you preparing mentally for? Hm?"
Da Bao leaned back in his chair, crossed his arms, and waited fixedly for Little Treasure’s answer.
Little Treasure took a bite of the bread and chewed heartily while saying, "A lot, like changing the title ’sister’ to ’sister-in-law’ after calling it for over a decade; and like, I’m still just a kid, yet I’m about to become an uncle. I’m afraid if I’m not mentally prepared, I’ll get jealous, feel unbalanced, and then accidentally mistreat your darling son. What do you think?"
Da Bao looked at his serious face and burst into laughter, leaned sharply against the dining table, pushing closer to Little Treasure sitting opposite, both staring at each other without backing down.
"Ji Xiaobao, I know you’re a sister’s protector, but I’m not one of those random little hooligans outside; I’m your brother! What’s all this nonsense about it being hard to change names and feeling unbalanced? You’re overprotecting your sister, aren’t you?"
Little Treasure snorted, ignoring him, continued to bite the bread as if it held a great grudge against him.
Da Bao figured this little master had finally quieted down, contentedly sat back down, picked up another slice of bread, but the young master across was staring at him slowly and said, "Don’t make yourself sound so noble, you’re no different from those little hooligans!" 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Da Bao really had no temper left, put down the bread, raised his hand solemnly to meet the young master’s eyes, "Young Master Ji Huan, I, Ji Yu, swear that if you’re ever going to be an uncle, I’ll be sure to notify you first!"
Little Treasure responded with a "Hmm," grabbed the cup and poured himself some milk, pushing it in front of Da Bao.
Da Bao gave him a look, "What? Now I’m your brother, not the rogue bullying your sister?"
Little Treasure snorted, placed his hand over the cup, pretending to take it back, but Da Bao was quick-eyed and swift, grabbed the cup with one hand and tilted his head back, drinking more than half the cup of milk in a gulp.
After this "heart-to-heart" exchange, the brothers finally managed to peacefully eat breakfast.
"You didn’t drive the surname Qi crazy yesterday, did you?" Da Bao knowingly started to steer the conversation towards irrelevant outsiders.
"Why are you so sure I’d mess with him?" Little Treasure scoffed.
"Kid, don’t forget, I’m your brother!"
Da Bao looked at the young fellow opposite with eyes full of brotherly affection and indulgence, as if the person just now engaging in a heated verbal duel wasn’t him.
"If that’s enough to drive him crazy, then he deserves it!"
"Hmm..."
"What are the brothers chatting about early in the morning? So passionately!"
Le Tong’s voice came, and soon, her slender figure in a work outfit flashed in.
"Chatting about when you’ll become a grandma!" The hard-worked topic the brothers had circumvented finally circled back with Le Tong’s question.
Le Tong looked at Da Bao with interest, and he, being observed, calmly ate his bread.
"Little Treasure, you just want to become an uncle, right? I think your brother hasn’t planned on letting me hold a grandchild so soon; their world hasn’t lasted long enough yet. How could they bring out a little one to disrupt it so soon?"
Le Tong, as a mother, knows Da Bao well.
Let alone that he hasn’t even reached a home run yet, even if they do, he couldn’t possibly have a child so early. To him, Nuonuo is still too young, even though physiologically she looks like an adult, mindset-wise, she’s still between a child and an adult.
For Da Bao, love is a mutual affair, both physiological and psychological, only when both parties have enough capability to bear it and proceed willingly can it be truly fulfilling.
Despite the fact that, in today’s era, where even love and marriage, meant to be long-lasting, have turned into fast food, such thoughts seem especially conservative, even laughably ridiculous.
But he insists, both physiologically and psychologically, to wait until Nuonuo is fully aware and completely willing before taking the final step.
Hence, from the current situation, mommy becoming a grandma, Little Treasure becoming an uncle, that’s still a long way off!
Soon, even Ji Rui, as the dad, joined in the interesting and attractive guessing game of when he might become a grandpa.
Until the other party, the little one in their mouths’ mom, came "pattering" into the dining hall, still with a few traces of drowsy sleepiness on her face, and everyone’s chatter paused.
Then, they all looked at her with interest as she greeted everyone as usual, then sat down next to Da Bao yawning.
Da Bao saw her confused look, couldn’t resist ruffling her hair and pinching her cheeks, "Did you sleep well?"
"Hmm..." Nuonuo picked up a cup and took a sip of milk before saying, muffled, "Brother, why didn’t you wake me up?"
Da Bao was basically already full, reached out to seriously spread a thick layer of blueberry jam on her bread, this girl especially liked to eat this sweet and sour stuff.
"Fangfang said you have no shoots in the morning, she talked with Director Sun, so you can have lunch at home, and she’ll come to pick you up at noon."
Nuonuo took the bread Da Bao handed over, "Oh," not politely, opened her mouth and started gobbling.
Little Treasure suddenly had an expression of finding it unbearable to watch, glanced at the pair opposite showing their love obliviously, got up, and walked out.
Le Tong and Ji Rui also stood up one after another, "Girl, we’re full, take your time eating, if you think about something you want for lunch, let Aunt Guan make it for you, we’re off to work."
Nuonuo, with a mouthful of bread, puffed her cheeks and said, "Daddy, Mommy, goodbye, be careful on the road."
