Da Bao went to the set and saw Nuonuo, still in makeup, draped in a coat, whispering with Luo Qingru.
The crew, having seen Da Bao at the start ceremony, nodded and greeted him, "Young Master Ji, coming to pick up Si Han again?"
No one really knows Si Han’s last na; they just hear her call this Young Master Ji her brother. As for this Young Master Ji, many people actually suspect he is Ji Yu, the eldest son of the Ji Family.
Because the potential identity of this Young Master Ji is too astonishing, the crew doesn’t dare delve too much into Si Han’s background—is she the biological sister of this Young Master Ji? Cousin? Maybe it’s a romantic relationship under the guise of a sibling relationship.
Of course, so are extrely curious about the latest newcor, wanting to probe for information from the director or Luo Qingru, but they’re sternly warned, "Don’t speculate on things you’re not supposed to know; anyway, no one here can afford the consequences if you do."
Even people who can’t be offended by directors and seniors refrain from causing Si Han trouble, despite so controversy.
Plus, Si Han is getting better at mingling with people, gracious with her networking, and without any star deanor, though privately curious, they treat her politely on the surface.
Moreover, this Young Master Ji, with his appearance and deanor, clearly cos from a prestigious family, making ordinary people naturally feel a sense of reverence upon seeing him.
"Yes, everyone must be hungry, let’s have so snacks first."
Speaking of networking, Da Bao naturally knows more than Si Han.
He ca to pick up Si Han two consecutive days bearing snacks.
Si Han heard the commotion, looked up, and saw Da Bao from afar, waving at him with a smile, "Brother!"
This current drama is set in the Republican era, and Si Han plays the young female lead, wearing a simple Republican student outfit with two braids.
As she smiles and waves at him, Da Bao almost thought he’d accidentally traveled back to the Republican era.
"Mr. Luo!"
Da Bao quickly walked over and nodded in greeting to the senior next to Si Han.
"Young Master Ji, sorry for keeping her so late again."
Awe filled Luo Qingru towards this Mr. Ji as well. With experience with people, she recognized Mr. Ji as soone extraordinary at a glance, certainly the crè de la crè.
As for Si Han, probably she and this Young Master Ji aren’t siblings as others guessed, but rather in a romantic relationship.
Of course, Luo Qingru kept these guesses to herself and never told anyone.
For one, she genuinely likes Si Han.
Secondly, at her age, she knows whom to admire from afar.
"Mr. Luo, it’s nothing, I worked late today. Thank you for staying with Si Han. These snacks are perfect for kids’ tastes; why not take them ho for your grandchildren to try?" Da Bao handed a box to her.
Luo Qingru gratefully accepted them, "Then I’ll thank Young Master Ji on behalf of my two little rascals!"
"Brother, wait a sec, I’ll quickly change out of this outfit first." Nuonuo, wearing light makeup, barely needed ti to remove it.
While waiting, Da Bao chatted with Luo Qingru for a bit.
"I was just talking with Si Han about a recomndation opportunity at the film academy; if she’s interested, I could endorse her."
"Mr. Luo, let Si Han decide for herself. I can’t really give an opinion on that." Da Bao spoke earnestly.
Luo Qingru nodded, understanding.
When Nuonuo ca out after changing clothes, Da Bao didn’t shy away from the crowd, wrapping his arm around her as they left the set.
"Where’s Little Treasure?" Nuonuo opened the car door, glancing at the back seat, slightly puzzled.
"He said he didn’t want to be the third wheel." Da Bao calmly sat in the driver’s seat, and unsurprisingly, watched the young girl’s face flush red in an instant.
"..." Nuonuo stamred for a while, unable to find words, and simply pretended to be a dead dog as she buckled up.
Da Bao said no more, rely smiling widely as he fired up the engine and drove out of the parking lot.
As Little Treasure said, since that night in Cao City, the atmosphere between them changed. Others might not notice, but family mbers like Little Treasure, including Le Tong and Ji Rui, sensed it keenly.
And Nuonuo, enduring a few days under their knowing gazes that said, "We know everything," felt like all her embarrassnt had been nearly exhausted.
Yet Da Bao, openly, after returning from Cao City, started sleeping directly in her bedroom. It’s as if declaring to the family that they are together and living together?
Initially, Da Bao suggested Nuonuo sleep in his room because her side was too feminine, plus his bedroom has a small study convenient for handling occasional work.
But Nuonuo shook her head and refused, leading him to shalessly relocate so of his clothes over. Though just a small move, his presence was glaringly obvious in Nuonuo’s walk-in closet, significantly invasive.
Only then did Nuonuo truly experience what it feels like when others live together while dating.
Just as she was in the bathroom removing makeup, blindly grabbing for makeup remover but ended up holding his shaving cream.
Seeing a pile of n’s products that seed to sprout overnight, Nuonuo felt disoriented, overwheld, yet subtly joyful.
anwhile, in the kitchen, Da Bao assisted in carrying dishes out while chatting with Le Tong.
"Bao, rember the apartnt we used to live in? Your dad recently had Mr. Yuan refurbish it, so if you’d like to move out, it’s available anyti."
Le Tong, as a mother, is always open-minded. She knows when kids grow up, they all desire their own space and world for two.
But without even thinking, Da Bao rejected his mom’s suggestion, "Mommy, Nuonuo and I never considered moving out; there are plenty of rooms here. Even when Little Baobao arrives, there’ll be enough space."
Da Bao thinks more long-term than she expected. He and Nuonuo are both family-oriented people. Instead of enjoying a world for two outside, they prefer the current setup, enjoying both family joy and sweet monts alone.
Le Tong didn’t insist, but offered a compromise.
"How about moving to the master bedroom on the third floor?"
The Ji Family ho has five floors in total. The top is a martial arts and fitness room. The third and fourth floors mostly serve as guest rooms for visiting Yang Family mbers or Mr. Ji.
Da Bao thought for a mont and found his mother’s idea appealing, so he nodded.
"Okay, I’ll discuss it with her and redecorate to her liking before we move in."
