Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 872 - 870: The One Who Loves Her Most (Second Update)
After a while, she finally remembered something and looked up at her brother sitting calmly on the chair next to her, spreading jam for her.
"Brother, why aren’t you going to work?"
Da Bao seemed to have expected her question long ago, and responded calmly, "I have a client meeting at ten today, so I can just leave from home."
Nuonuo trusted his words without a doubt. She checked the time; it was just past seven, so she comfortably accepted Da Bao’s thoughtful service.
After finishing breakfast, she helped Aunt Guan clean up in the kitchen.
"Brother, if you’re busy, go ahead. I’ll look over the script and think about the scenes to film this afternoon."
Da Bao nodded, seemingly busy indeed, picked up his laptop and headed towards the study. Just as he disappeared inside, he poked his head back out and said to Nuonuo, "If you feel bored alone, come in and watch!"
Nuonuo was sensible enough not to intrude. She took the script and curled up on the sofa to read for a while. Struggling with some parts, she stepped outside to play with the dogs and cats, then sat on the swing to continue contemplating.
Da Bao worked in the study for a while and came out wanting to get a cup of water, only to discover the little one wasn’t in the living room. He stepped out of the house and saw from afar the little one sitting on the swing with her head down, seemingly reading the script.
Da Bao shook his head with a gentle sigh and went back inside to grab a jacket.
"It’s chilly in the yard, and she went out without wearing something warmer."
When Da Bao’s hand touched her shoulder through the jacket, he could distinctly feel her shoulder trembling slightly.
Startled, Da Bao immediately walked around to face her, squatting down to look up at her, "What’s wrong now?"
That look really frightened Da Bao!
The little one’s face was soaked with tears, probably feeling embarrassed after Da Bao caught her, she hastily wiped her face in a flurry, choking up as she tried to defend herself, "No... nothing..."
Da Bao’s heart was about to break!
Glancing at the script spread open on her lap, knowing it was the source of trouble again, though part of him wished he could tear and destroy it right then, he could only silently hug her close, one hand over her face, the other soothing her back. Deeply inhaling to make his voice sound gentle.
"Silly girl, didn’t I tell you last night, that’s just acting! No need to be too serious, and you’re home resting now, you should relax and enjoy, not cry as you do in the play..."
"I... I’m worried that I understand nothing and will slow down the crew’s progress, so I’m just rehearsing and building emotions in advance."
"But seeing you like this pains me to death, you know?" Da Bao said as he tenderly wiped her tears, understanding he had no position to blame her, yet unable to stand seeing her silently weep even knowing she’s acting!
That’s why, ever since filming officially began, he hasn’t visited the set once.
He’s afraid to see her enduring hardship during fight scenes or suffering in emotional scenes...
Therefore, when Little Treasure mentioned going to the set to support her, he didn’t object, because he also wanted to, just feared he couldn’t bear seeing her suffer and might just whisk her away!
"Hmm..." Nuonuo actually understood Da Bao’s feelings, closed the script, and hugged his waist, leaning tightly into his warm embrace.
The familiar and comforting scent surrounded her nose, dispelling the sorrowful emotions she absorbed from the script with its seemingly refreshing yet dominantly compelling aura. She closed her eyes and rested against him peacefully for quite a while before speaking.
"Brother, how about we go on a trip after I’m done filming this movie?"
"Okay!" At this point, Da Bao was so soft-hearted, he would agree to travel with her or even go anywhere she wanted without hesitation.
"Brother, I’m sorry for worrying you!" Nuonuo lifted her head and kissed Da Bao’s lips apologetically.
"I’m sorry..."
Despite having countless grievances and discontent in his heart, Da Bao was completely soothed by that slightly salty, tearful kiss.
"Silly girl, there’s nothing for you to apologize for! You’re just striving hard for the work you love and putting your heart into it, and I should feel happy and proud of you, shouldn’t I?" 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
He could give her lots of things—wealth, love, family—but he couldn’t give her career, nor the confidence and self-worth it brings!
So, the only thing he could do was support her!
Even if the whole world opposed her, he would still support her wholeheartedly. Because he is the one who loves her the most in this world!
...
Perhaps because she comprehensively rehearsed in the morning, in the afternoon, Si Han managed to pass the tearful scenes on the first take without any NG!
This not only surprised Director Sun, but also Fang Kai, the leading man who seldom praised anyone. Hearing Director Sun shout "OK," he couldn’t help but give a thumbs-up to Si Han, who was crying with red eyes.
"Si Han, you were fantastic today!"
Fang Kai said, handing Si Han a wet towel given by the assistant to wipe his sweat.
Si Han was stunned for a moment before accepting it, "Thank you!"
"Where’s Sister Fang? She usually follows you like a sticky plaster that you can’t shake off. Why is she nowhere to be seen today?"
Fang Kai deliberately changed the subject and looked around as if looking for Sister Fang’s silhouette, actually noticing her embarrassment. After all, no one wants to be seen crying so pathetically with a red nose.
Especially since she’s just a teenage girl!
Si Han pressed the wet towel against her eyes gently, soothing the tear glands, still somewhat downcast, while her brother’s words from last night echoed around her ears, "You’re Ji Si Han, your mind can only have me!"
Oh no, if he sees these swollen eyes tonight, he’s bound to feel distressed again, right?
"Si Han?"
Initially, Fang Kai thought she was just embarrassed, unwilling to let him see her crying, yet after speaking to her a few times with no response, he raised his voice calling her.
"Hmm?" Si Han finally snapped out of it at his call, slightly startled, lifting her eyelids to look at him.
Her beautiful eyes were red, eyes filled with a misty blur, and they flashed a panic like that of a startled fawn.
Initially, Fang Kai was simply concerned for her, but when he unexpectedly met her eyes, his heart seemed to be thrown into a rapidly spinning centrifuge, completely out of control, not only was the rhythm disturbed, but even direction seemed utterly lost...
This feeling of losing complete control alarmed Fang Kai!
"Brother Kai, thank you!" Si Han softly thanked him with that uniquely raspy voice after crying.
Yet Fang Kai suddenly seemed alarmed as if frightened by something, his expression slightly changing, turning away and leaving.
