Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 888 - 886: What Bad Luck Did She Run Into?

Chapter 888: Chapter 886: What Bad Luck Did She Run Into?

Tian Fang anxiously dropped Si Han off at the gate of the Ji Family’s courtyard. Si Han, carrying her bag, got out of the car and bent over to thank her, "Sister Fang, take care on the road!"

After speaking, she swung her hand and shut the car door.

Tian Fang quickly rolled down the car window, "Si Han!"

Nuonuo turned around and stared at her with an inquisitive look, "Hm?"

"Don’t dwell on today’s matters..."

Nuonuo nodded, waved to her, and turned to leave.

Tian Fang told her not to worry about it, but how could she not?

Regarding those matters on the bed, Nuonuo wasn’t completely inconsiderate of her brother either, but not often, because every time she slightly probed or hinted, Da Bao would pinch her face and warn her not to have wild thoughts.

After trying a few times, Nuonuo no longer thought in that direction. Occasionally, when they shared a bed, her brother would kiss and hug her, but it always stopped there. And she slowly grew accustomed to this level of intimacy without resistance and had never thought of taking it further.

She never considered that as a young girl, she might not crave certain things, but her brother was already a twenty-five-year-old adult man, and having needs was the most normal thing.

So how had he managed these years?

Nuonuo’s mind was filled with this perplexing and seemingly unsolvable question. After greeting Aunt Guan upon returning home, she retreated to her bedroom to search the internet for answers.

In the encyclopedia, the definition of adulthood goes beyond psychology to include physiological aspects.

The psychological definition was abstract, but Nuonuo could understand it.

The physiological definition wasn’t abstract actually, and Nuonuo could comprehend it, much like Tian Fang had hinted, and precisely because she understood it, the more she read, the more uneasy she felt.

Then, a bunch of posts popped up based on her search terms. She tried clicking on a few and seriously read them. As she read, her palms became filled with a trickle of cold sweat.

The first post she read was titled "Marital life imbalance leading to the rise of mistresses". Normally, Nuonuo would disdain to even glance at such posts, but now, with thoughts in mind, she clicked on it with a slight tremble, reading it with growing anxiety!

The following posts, although not about the same couple as the first, had similar causes, and the outcomes were essentially the same.

In the end, these couples all faced breakups, divorces, or intrusion of third parties due to imbalanced aspects of their lives...

Initially, Nuonuo was just sweating in her palms, but later, sweat dampened a large portion of her back.

She always believed that her and her brother’s relationship was unbreakable, and no person or thing could destroy the bond between them.

But after reading those posts, she no longer held that certainty.

Her brother is twenty-five this year, an age full of vigor and energy. According to the analysis from the replies in these posts, this age is precisely the peak of curiosity towards the opposite sex and great physiological needs, and if one can’t achieve mental and physical unity with their lover, changing hearts or being intruded by third parties is almost a certainty.

Nuonuo read many similar posts and comments from netizens, leaving her feeling utterly cold inside. It’s not that she doesn’t trust her brother, but she feels like an idiot who only knows how to confess due to affection but never considered that as a lover, aside from giving verbal promises, she should provide him with more of her trust and understanding.

No wonder Tian Fang was so surprised when she heard her words; after all, their time as lovers wasn’t short, yet they remained at the pure kissing and hugging stage. Such a platonic relationship is indeed surprising and unexpected.

After reading a bunch of encyclopedias and posts, Nuonuo felt a turmoil inside, restless in the bedroom for a while, then irritably went out to play with the two dogs.

When Da Bao came back, he saw Nuonuo sitting on the grass, holding Big Black with one hand, her head resting against Big Black’s in a trance.

Da Bao found it curious that ever since Director Sun’s movie wrapped, Nuonuo took about a week to completely detach from the movie back to reality, and those instances of zoning out or silently hurting in the corners no longer appeared.

But the girl before him, staring blankly while holding the dog, seemed to have returned to that state a few months back, secretly pondering roles at home. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

But she hasn’t taken on any roles recently. Could it be that Tian Fang secretly accepted a new role for her?

Da Bao walked over filled with questions. Normally, Nuonuo would have already noticed him, but now, only when the pair of shoes appeared in front of her did she slowly lift her eyelids, her dazed eyes fixing on Da Bao for a moment, as if awakening from a dream, suddenly sitting up straight, calling out to Da Bao, "Brother!"

Da Bao bent over, supporting the grass with one hand before sitting down slowly.

"Accepted a new role again?"

Tian Fang had mentioned several times that Nuonuo was ready for new roles anytime, and who knows if she found a good script and decided first before reporting back to him.

Nuonuo looked bewildered at first, then understanding his meaning, shook her head, saying, "No..."

Da Bao ruffled her hair. "If not, then why are you zoning out? Weren’t you supposed to go to Teacher Tan’s place for acting class today? Why did you come back so early?"

"I was thinking about some things..." Nuonuo hadn’t considered hiding it but didn’t know how to broach the topic with Da Bao. "Teacher Tan said I’m not in a good state, to go back another day, so I came back early."

Da Bao didn’t doubt the little girl’s words, because she truly was in a bad state right now.

"Then what are you thinking about? Are you very troubled?"

In the past year, Nuonuo had grown rapidly in psychology, rarely seeking help for trivial matters as a young girl would in the past.

Nuonuo, however, didn’t answer him, instead, she turned her head and scrutinized him intently.

Da Bao felt a bit uneasy under her gaze because it was different from usual.

Normally, her gaze at him was either one of admiration, infatuation, or concern...

Rarely was it like now, studying him like an unsolvable mystery.

"What’s really the matter? Did someone tell you something confusing, and you’re overthinking?"

Da Bao always thought he understood this girl very well, but right now, he couldn’t see through her thoughts.

Could it be that she heard some gossip from that complicated circle, misunderstood something?

Da Bao’s guess was somewhat close, though he could never have imagined that what she was pondering were things unsuitable for children.

"No..." Nuonuo denied again with a shake of her head.

Seeing he couldn’t open her mouth, Da Bao didn’t ask further, planning to call Tian Fang later to understand what had affected her today.
