Chapter 915 - 913: Are You Jealous of Little Treasure? (Part 1)
The smile that had always been slightly raised on Da Bao’s lips unknowingly turned into a slight frown."So, you’re saying you have some special feelings for Little Treasure?"
Nuonuo has always pampered Little Treasure excessively, even now that they’ve grown up, the siblings still occasionally snuggle up as they did when they were kids, as close as can be.
Normally, Da Bao wouldn’t think much of it. After all, he’s been accustomed to these two little rascals’ affectionate bickering since childhood. It’s fair to say Little Treasure’s proud little nature is largely nurtured by Nuonuo as his loving sister.
But hearing Nuonuo’s words, he couldn’t help but let his thoughts wander elsewhere.
Nuonuo, this girl, is actually quite simple-minded in some respects.
Hearing Da Bao’s resentful question, she looked completely astonished.
"How could that be? My feelings for Little Treasure are purely those of a sister for her brother! There’s nothing else special about it," the little girl protested anxiously, her face flushed red.
After pausing for a moment, Nuonuo suddenly seemed to realize something. She leaned closer, squinting slightly with a hint of smugness in her eyes as she looked up at Da Bao.
"Brother..." Nuonuo spoke in a tone unmistakably laced with amusement.
"Hmm?" Da Bao, still in a sour mood, didn’t notice the change in the little girl’s tone.
"I’m saying, are you perhaps a bit jealous of Little Treasure? Hehe!"
Discovering her brother was jealous of her younger brother inexplicably filled Nuonuo with joy and excitement!
Although she always knew her brother loved her dearly, loving her enough to be jealous of her brother meant she held an indescribably important place in his heart, didn’t it?
Indeed, people are greedy creatures. Even though she knew how deeply he loved her, it wasn’t enough. She greedily desired more, and even more!
Perhaps, in her brother’s heart, he too was constantly yearning for her to give him more love, which was why he couldn’t help but be jealous of her brother?
Thinking of this possibility, Nuonuo’s heart suddenly ached. If Da Bao wasn’t driving now, she thought she might pull him into a tight embrace, comfort him, kiss him, and smooth over his inner unease and agitation.
Seeing Da Bao silent, Nuonuo became anxious, the smug look on her pretty face nowhere to be seen.
"Brother, my feelings for Little Treasure are purely sisterly, but my feelings for you are complicated, indistinguishable, completely different from anyone else, yet deeper than my feelings for anyone. And, you know what? I especially rely on you. No matter what happens, the first person who comes to my mind will definitely be you."
Nuonuo was afraid Da Bao wouldn’t believe her, so her small face was filled with anxiety, and her tone grew more and more urgent, pouring out words like beans without noticing that Da Bao, who had been frowning slightly, had his handsome brows smoothed out at some point, with a hint of spring in his eyes, overflowing with happiness and satisfaction in his gaze, which was fixed forward but captured all her anxious reactions with the corner of his eye.
His mood, which had been extremely gloomy, was now extraordinarily good!
"Turns out, I’m even more reliable than 911?!"
Da Bao, in an exceptionally good mood, had the corners of his mouth nearly reaching his eyes!
Nuonuo just then realized that the person she had been cautiously trying to cheer up had returned to normal, and her heart lightened considerably, smiling back at him, "Of course, 911 is for the general public, but you are a special line open only for me, a dedicated service."
The certain man who provided a dedicated service only to a particular person felt like his heart held a jar of honey, overwhelmingly sweet.
Then, he heard the little girl belonging solely to him say, "Being surrounded by so many beauties earlier, did it feel good?"
Da Bao blinked, "What do you think?"
Nuonuo feigned annoyance, pinching his cheek, "If you dare to say the word good, this handsome face will... hehe... you know it!"
The two of them talked happily in the car, and before they knew it, the car had already driven through the gates of the Yang Family.
Nuonuo’s phone rang, and as Da Bao suspected, it was Yang Liu.
"Nuonuo, where are you and Da Bao? We’re just waiting for you two!" As soon as the phone connected, Yang Liu shouted loudly.
Nuonuo’s ears rang from the shout, and she instinctively held the phone further away, giving Da Bao, who was parking the car steadily, a sidelong glance before saying, "Sister, I’ve been walking all day today, my feet are about to cramp. My brother and I aren’t coming, you and brother-in-law have fun!"
Yang Liu immediately exploded, exclaiming loudly, "Damn!" Da Bao, with great foresight, snatched the phone away, "Xiao Liu, we’re already home, that’s that! Good night!"
Not waiting for Yang Liu’s response, Da Bao promptly hung up the phone.
"No need to explain too much to her, she’s already been spoiled by your brother-in-law!"
Nuonuo responded with an "oh" and obediently followed Da Bao back into the Yang house.
Yang Sheng and his wife had social engagements tonight and weren’t home. The servants had all gone to bed, leaving only Uncle Jing, who was still sitting in the living room watching TV.
Uncle Jing was in his eighties; he had been with the Yang Family for decades, and the Yang Family’s children had long since regarded him as one of their elders. Even after the Old Master passed away, they insisted on keeping him, a single man, around.
The intention was to let him enjoy some comfort, but he was used to working. Now, seeing the siblings return, he immediately got up to prepare a late-night snack for them. However, Da Bao wouldn’t have it and directly helped him back to his room with Nuonuo on either side.
"Grandpa Jing, didn’t I tell you not to wait up for us and go to sleep early?"
"Anyway, I can’t sleep, so I’m sitting in the living room waiting for you. What if Xiao Liu comes back drunk later?" Uncle Jing was still worriedly chattering about Yang Liu.
"Grandpa Jing, with brother-in-law looking after sister, you can rest assured!" Nuonuo chimed in to persuade him, casually pulling up the quilt to cover him.
"Your brother-in-law spoils her too much, he’s going to spoil her..."
This was the second time tonight that Nuonuo heard such comments. After leaving Uncle Jing’s room and returning to Da Bao’s room, Da Bao pulled the seemingly absent-minded Nuonuo into his arms, "What’s up now, did Grandpa Jing remind you of the Old Master?"
Old Master Yang had been so good to the three siblings that after he passed, the three of them had a hard time adjusting for a long period.
Nuonuo shook her head, "It’s not that..."
"Then what is it?"
"Brother, you treat me so well, aren’t you afraid of spoiling me too?"
Da Bao lowered his head and kissed her, "If you spoil, so be it. I can handle it!"
He spoke with such confidence, as if he had forgotten that just earlier, he had been criticizing Yang Liu’s husband for being too indulgent with Yang Liu.
Nuonuo gave him a disdainful look, "Then what right do you have to say that brother-in-law spoiled sister? Isn’t their relationship a case of the willing being happily hitched?"
"You’re right about that. But you have no idea how Uncle’s heart has been through the wringer because of Xiao Liu! Even if you do turn out badly, I believe you’d only act out towards me, and that I can tolerate. But Xiao Liu behaving like that is too much!"
