Mr. Mai’s stern warning made the female models snap out of their jealous frenzy, and they quickly scattered like birds and beasts, disappearing in an instant.
Da Bao had no intention of staying at the party for long. He had been missing her all afternoon, and now that he saw her, he wanted to find a place to be alone as soon as possible, making it easier to hug and hold her.
"Mr. Mai, we’re leaving first. I’ll make sure Si Han is at the hotel on ti tomorrow."
Da Bao, holding Nuonuo, said goodbye politely to Mr. Mai, then walked out of the banquet hall with Si Han in his arms.
As Si Han’s manager, Tian Fang declined Da Bao’s offer to drive her back, insisting on staying behind.
First, she wasn’t so tactless as to sit in the sa car as the two of them, playing the role of a third wheel.
Second, she needed to stay to help Si Han manage so relations.
Although Si Han’s background was very powerful, it didn’t an her manager had nothing to do. Since she held the position, she had to fulfill her duties; this was Tian Fang’s principle.
Da Bao and Si Han were just leaving the hall when a few fearless models who had just tactfully dispersed reappeared by Mr. Mai’s side, trying to pry so information out of him.
"Mr. Mai, was that gentleman just now Si Han’s boyfriend?"
Mr. Mai gave them a stern look, "Don’t say such nonsense. That’s Si Han’s brother! Anyway, I’m warning you, no matter who he is to Si Han, he’s not going to have any relation with you. If you’re smart, concentrate on doing well in tomorrow’s show and don’t think about unrealistic things. The story of a prince and Cinderella is just a fairy tale for kids!"
anwhile, Tian Fang, who stayed to help Si Han manage relations, was also surrounded by a group of won. They beat around the bush and said quite a bit, naturally trying to get more information about the handso gentleman earlier.
Tian Fang neither agreed nor disagreed, just shrugged and said she didn’t know much either. She was just Si Han’s manager and didn’t have the right to investigate soone’s entire family background.
One could only say these models had a narrow social circle and limited exposure. Because in recent years, Da Bao often represented the Ji Family at so extrely important etings and negotiations. Anyone with any position in the business circle would almost certainly know the Crown Prince of the Ji Family, Ji Yu.
Or one might say, Da Bao was excessively self-disciplined, never attending extravagant parties or banquets like other rich heirs or officials’ children. Therefore, there was no opportunity for these supermodels to et him.
Eventually, Tian Fang grew too annoyed by these people and said, "However, there’s one thing I’m sure of; our company executives have reminded us that Si Han’s background is not sothing the average person should provoke lightly."
This was exactly what Mr. Mai had warned them about. In the end, although these models were intrigued by the mysterious handso guy, fearing unnecessary trouble, they could only keep their curiosity to themselves.
In the car, Da Bao sat in the driver’s seat, with Nuonuo naturally in the front passenger seat.
"Yang Liu originally wanted to invite us out to celebrate, but I thought you might be tired, so I refused. If she calls you again, just say you’re too tired and want to sleep."
Actually, it wasn’t just Nuonuo who was tired; Da Bao was exhausted too.
The affairs of the Ji Family were already more than enough, but he still had to divert his attention to handle so of the Yang Family’s matters. Although he was smart and capable, in the end, he was only human, not a tireless robot.
"Hmm, I understand. You must be worn out from working all day, right? Actually, you could have asked Uncle to send a driver to pick up, or I could take a taxi back myself. That way, you could get so more rest."
Nuonuo gazed at his beautifully contoured profile in the dim streetlight glow.
Da Bao suddenly turned his head and gave her a warm smile, "Seeing you makes not tired anymore!"
His beautiful, bright black eyes, under the orange-yellow glow of the lights, appeared especially deep and charming and exceptionally gentle.
"But I still don’t want you running around like this!"
Nuonuo leaned over, gently caressed his warm face, and said in a soft voice, "Really, I’m not a child anymore. If you’re tired, you can let handle my own affairs, and then you can fuss over like Little Treasure does, it’s okay."
Speaking of which, it seed that letting Nuonuo fuss over him was indeed sothing of a privilege for Little Treasure. Whether Da Bao ever thought about it, Nuonuo didn’t know, but he truly never seed to have fussed over her or sought her affection.
Da Bao gazed intently at the road, but from an angle Nuonuo couldn’t see, his eyes were misty with a thin layer of haze and deep emotion.
With one hand on the steering wheel, he raised his right hand to cover hers that was caressing his face, interlocking their fingers, squeezing slightly, and then pulling her hand down to rest on the steering wheel.
"Looks like my child bride has finally grown up, and I can fuss over you and vie for your affection now?"
Nuonuo responded with a nod, because for so reason, her throat suddenly felt tight, and she couldn’t say much more.
In other families, it’s the parents who raise the children, but in the Ji Family, although the parents are incredibly good to all the kids, strictly speaking, it’s Da Bao who takes care of Little Treasure and Nuonuo more, both physically and emotionally. It’s Da Bao who put in a lot more effort.
Nuonuo remained silent for a long ti until the emotion in her heart subsided.
"Brother, if there’s a next life, let be your mom. That way, I can take care of you as ticulously as you took care of in this life!"
Da Bao glanced sideways, "What, you don’t want to be my lover in the next life? You want to be my mom?"
Even though everyone knows that the concept of a next life is uncertain, and even if it exists, they as re mortals can’t decide their roles in it.
But even knowing so, Nuonuo hesitated a little, "Well... I still want to be your lover more."
Da Bao laughed, placed her hand back on her thigh, and patted it gently.
"If there really is a next life, let’s be a pair of siblings without blood ties. That way, you can nurture and love , and we can beautifully experience a sibling romance!"
Nuonuo quietly imagined this scenario in her mind; it seed harmonious and beautiful. It was not a bad idea!
"Hmm, the age difference shouldn’t be too big. Otherwise, I think I wouldn’t be able to handle it. Hmm, yeah, sothing like the age difference between and Little Treasure would be perfect!"
When Nuonuo said this, she didn’t think much about it, but the listener heard sothing the speaker didn’t intend. The previously slightly upturned corners of Da Bao’s lips unknowingly turned into a slight frown.
