Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife

Chapter 964 - 962: Custom-Made Couple Rings (Third Update)

The press conference went smoothly without any incidents. After the event, Si Han did not join the other interviewees for the banquet, while Si Jun, being sensible, stayed behind to deal with the media and attended the banquet.Si Jun accompanied Si Han to the underground parking lot, put her in Da Bao’s car, and then turned and left.

"Brother, you were so silly just now!"

The lighting in the parking lot was dim, and Da Bao’s car was facing the wall, a dead corner spot; after Nuonuo spoke, she leaned over and kissed Da Bao lightly on the lips.

Although Da Bao felt that such a light kiss was far from enough, he also knew that this place was not suitable for intimate games. He licked his lips, which still held her faint breath, smiled, and slowly backed the car out.

"Nuonuo, I’m your most devoted fan, and you said I was silly; it’s really heartbreaking!" Da Bao held the steering wheel with one hand and clutched his chest with the other, pretending to be heartbroken.

Nuonuo patted his arm, "Come on!"

Da Bao looked at her with a melancholy gaze, which made Nuonuo giggle.

"Brother, that little proud expression doesn’t suit you. That’s Young Master Xiao Bao’s signature look."

Da Bao also chuckled. Thinking about it, Young Master Xiao Bao did frequently show such expressions in front of family members.

The two exchanged a silly smile, and the question of who was silly was left unexplored.

"What do you want to eat?" Da Bao asked.

Nuonuo pointed to a restaurant not far away, "Let’s just go there and grab something casual!"

Da Bao gave her a curious look; he thought she had declined the banquet to have something more refined.

"Nuonuo, are you sure? That’s just a regular fast-food place."

Nuonuo nodded, "I’m sure! Brother, don’t underestimate this fast-food place; it’s a chain restaurant. I’ve often eaten there when filming at the film city, and it’s not as bad as you think."

Da Bao thought she was reminiscing about the taste of filming; they sat in a private room. After ordering a few signature dishes and the waiter had left, Da Bao pulled her over and held her on his lap.

"Nuonuo, Lei Tong and Mo Xiao are both excellent directors. How about I call them tomorrow and see if we can adjust the filming schedules so you can take both roles?"

Nuonuo bit her lip and turned her head to look at him, "Brother, aren’t you afraid I’ll be exhausted?"

Da Bao kissed her forehead, "I am afraid, but I’m more afraid you’ll be disappointed for missing out on these two great directors."

Nuonuo thought for a moment, then shook her head at Da Bao, "Brother, I won’t!"

At this moment, Da Bao didn’t understand the true meaning of Nuonuo’s words and thought she was forcing a smile to comfort him.

So he secretly decided in his heart to call the two directors early tomorrow. If they refused to adjust the schedule, he would buy the filming rights for both films; as the sole investor, he would surely have the power to decide the shooting schedule!

And Nuonuo was unaware that her wealthy and capricious brother had secretly made such plans; they enjoyed their simple meal and finished it quickly.

Several times, Da Bao frowned at the speed of her eating, and finally, he couldn’t help but press down on her chopsticks.

"Eat slower; Si Jun said earlier they’d pick you up at three o’clock to go to the styling room for makeup and changing clothes. It’s just twelve o’clock now; we’re not in a hurry!"

Nuonuo nodded obediently, but her eating speed showed no signs of slowing down.

Seeing this, Da Bao could only rub her back to help her with digestion while sighing silently.

The two finished their meal quickly and went outside, got into the car. As Da Bao fastened his seatbelt, he looked at Nuonuo and asked, "Shall we go back to the hotel and rest a while? You’ll be sitting for several hours tonight; it’s quite tiring."

Usually, Nuonuo would agree with anything Da Bao said, but she shook her head again.

"Brother, I want to buy something."

Da Bao started the car, "What do you want to buy? Do you need it now?"

Nuonuo nodded, "Yeah, Sister Fang’s precious daughter was born half a month ago, and I haven’t had time to visit the little one. I want to buy a gift for the little baby."

"We could buy it tomorrow; there’s no rush to buy it today, right?" Da Bao felt something wasn’t right.

But Nuonuo was very persistent, "You might have to rush back to R City first thing tomorrow morning. I heard there’s a jewelry store in Beijing with beautiful jade pieces, and I want to check it out."

Unable to resist her, Da Bao eventually drove to the famous jewelry store she mentioned and parked in front.

After entering, Nuonuo spent a good amount of time choosing at the jade counter, and in the end, with Da Bao’s suggestion, she bought a Jade Guanyin and paired it with a platinum necklace specially made for children.

The price of the Jade Guanyin and the necklace was close to seven figures, but Da Bao wasn’t concerned about the money; he was just worried that Tian Fang might not accept it.

"Nuonuo, isn’t the price too high?"

Nuonuo replied, "Not at all! Don’t you remember? Sister Fang said her child would be betrothed to ours in the future, so this necklace is like an engagement token!"

Though she said it seriously, Da Bao was still amused by her.

"Silly girl, our baby isn’t even born yet, and you’ve already arranged a marriage? You’ve gone crazy wanting to be a mother-in-law, haven’t you?"

Nuonuo seemed to realize she was a bit eager, giggled, and adjusted the large sunglasses covering most of her face.

While the staff was packaging the gift, Nuonuo pulled Da Bao around randomly, finally stopping at the ring counter.

"Wow, Young Master Ji, come and look at these beautiful rings." Saying so, she forcibly pulled the distracted Da Bao over.

Seeing her previous lavish purchase of the Jade Guanyin and necklace, the staff recognized her as a VIP customer and quickly took out the platinum rings set with small diamonds when they heard her admiration.

Standing at the counter, Da Bao looked closely at the rings; just one glance, and he had to admit that Nuonuo always had a keen eye for beautiful things.

"Yes, they’re indeed gorgeous, elegant yet not gaudy."

Upon hearing Ji Dabao’s evaluation, the staff quickly added with a smile, "Sir, the lady really has a unique taste. This set of diamond rings is our store’s treasure, a limited design by the jewelry designer, the only pair in the world."

Seeing that Nuonuo liked them so much, Da Bao thought of the time they had been together and realized he hadn’t bought any rings or necklaces as tokens of their relationship.

"Nuonuo, try it on and see if it fits!"

As Da Bao spoke, he took the women’s ring and slipped it onto Nuonuo’s left ring finger.

Coincidentally, the ring seemed made for Nuonuo, fitting perfectly.

"Just right!" Nuonuo smiled sweetly, imitating Da Bao and putting the men’s ring on his left ring finger.

Perhaps it was fate; the ring fit Da Bao perfectly as well!
