Seeing the silly girl almost in tears from his teasing, Da Bao quickly walked back to her with a smile.
He bent down to kiss her face and soothingly said in a low voice, "Alright, don’t be upset. I’ll go change imdiately."
After speaking, he lightly patted her face and jogged into the fitting room to change the clothes back.
Standing in the fitting room, Da Bao couldn’t stop the smile playing on his lips.
Thinking about the little girl’s fierce attitude earlier as if she wanted to eat those salesgirls alive, Da Bao felt very pleased, yet ultimately he couldn’t bear to see her upset. So, he decided not to try on the remaining clothes and handed them to the salesgirl, saying, "I’ll take them all."
Hearing this, not only the salesgirl was surprised, but even Nuonuo was a bit taken aback.
"Aren’t you going to try them on to see if they fit or look good?"
Da Bao shook his head and pulled the little girl closer to his side, "With a perfect figure like mine, as long as the size is standard, they will definitely fit. As for whether they look good, I trust your taste, Nuonuo."
Da Bao spoke with considerable confidence and self-assuredness, naturally earning himself a playful eye-roll from Nuonuo.
"Go pay, little moneybags." Da Bao leaned towards her ear and gently reminded her.
After all, since she’d bought so many things for Grandpa, Daddy, and Mommy, there was no way she wouldn’t buy sothing for him, her boyfriend!
Nuonuo pouted, "Hmph, I won’t, I’ve run out of money!"
Da Bao seed to have anticipated this response, smiling as he took a card from his wallet and placed it in her hand before nudging her.
"Go on, this is my salary card, from now on it’s all yours to manage. The PIN is your birthday, but you can’t charge today’s clothes on this card!"
Nuonuo didn’t refuse, casually placing the card he gave her into her bag, and then took out her own bank card to obediently go to the counter to pay.
This was the first ti Nuonuo used her own earnings to buy a gift for Da Bao, and as Da Bao carried those dozen bags of clothes and items, a slight smile lingered on his lips.
Nuonuo seed to be infected by his good mood, and the inexplicable jealousy that had arisen in the store gradually disappeared without a trace.
"Nuonuo, you should buy so new clothes for the change of season too."
Da Bao had long since noticed that the clothes in Nuonuo’s wardrobe were all from last year, and over the past year, the little girl had grown another six or seven centiters, so many clothes needed to be replaced.
"I really don’t need any. Mr. Mai said they’d provide clothes for for free."
Nuonuo seed indifferent. After all, she had to wear a school uniform during classes, and on holidays, the house had plenty of clothes to choose from.
"How can that be? You can’t wear just one brand’s clothes. Co on, you can buy anything you want, I’ll cover the bill."
Da Bao generously pulled Nuonuo toward a well-known international brand store. When it ca to strength, Nuonuo couldn’t match him, and when it ca to stubbornness, she couldn’t outdo him either.
Nuonuo could only resort to financial wit, "Brother, your salary card has already been surrendered, what will you use to pay for ? Just so you know, I’m not covering for you."
Da Bao blinked and pinched her cheek with a smug tease, "Honey, you’re still too green! Don’t you know n have a habit of secretly stashing extra money away?"
This was sothing Nuonuo genuinely didn’t know.
"Uh, Brother, do you really have secret funds?"
eting Nuonuo’s clear eyes, Da Bao couldn’t bear to lie to her.
"Of course I do now, but tonight I’ll give you an asset list detailing everything I own, and from tonight on, everything will be yours to manage. I guarantee I won’t keep a single pair of socks for myself!"
Hearing this, Nuonuo rembered that all these years, apart from his studies, Brother had always been attending to the Ji Family’s work, and seemingly had so personal investnts as well, so there should be quite a bit of asset accumulation.
The bank card he gave her earlier was clearly explained as his current salary card—how could she have been so foolish!
"Brother, you have too high an opinion of ! If you hand over all your assets, securities, and the like, I’ll only squander them. You needn’t give any lists; even if you did, I couldn’t understand them. Better you keep them well yourself, don’t let ss them up. Besides, if I need money, you’ll just give it to !"
What Nuonuo was saying was essentially letting Da Bao gift her the money, though in reality, since she began representing brands years ago, her everyday expenses and allowances mostly ca from her endorsent fees, with the remaining large portion being donated to the orphanage regularly.
"Mm, don’t worry, I can still earn the money I give you to spend."
Though Da Bao spoke with great modesty, in truth, the assets and wealth under his na were enough for Nuonuo to spend for several lifetis.
Moreover, these assets and finances included not just the money Da Bao had earned through his work and investnts but also consisted of regular gifts of fixed assets from several elder family mbers—making young Da Bao one of R City’s wealthiest individuals despite his age.
Of course, Nuonuo wasn’t aware of any of this.
Having lived a well-off life since childhood, she hadn’t truly grasped the concept of wealth until so years ago when she accidentally visited the orphanage for a charity performance and understood the real gap between rich and poor.
"Brother, you also don’t need to worry. I don’t eat much, and the things I wear and use are all basic items, so you should take it easy and not give yourself too much pressure!"
Nuonuo surely knew that Brother had more than enough ans to support her, but she still worried he might burden himself too much because of her.
Her requirents for life weren’t high. Besides a normal standard of living, what she hoped for most was that Brother would always be by her side.
The three years of separation had left an indelible shadow in her heart.
Therefore, right now, nothing seed more important to her than having him stay with her.
Da Bao subconsciously tightened his grip around her, this girl cared so deeply for him that she’d settle for the most basic things to spare him.
However, little girl, do you know that in your brother’s heart, nothing, including the things you eat, wear, and use, and your life itself, should be anything less than the best and never just ordinary!
"Alright then, I’ve just realized that our girl is so easy to care for. Maybe starting tomorrow, I’ll apply for a year-long holiday, okay?"
Even though what was on Da Bao’s mind was the exact opposite, he couldn’t help teasing her with words that belied his true feelings.
Nuonuo knew he was joking, yet she answered quite seriously.
"Great, Brother, you’ve been juggling both studies and work for so long. Now might be a good ti to take a real rest for a year while Daddy and Mommy haven’t retired yet!"
Though Da Bao knew Nuonuo’s suggestion could never really happen, it still ward his heart imnsely!
