Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 889 - 887: Better to Unblock Than to Block

Da Bao finally managed to coax her back to the room. Taking advantage of her going to the kitchen to see Aunt Guan cook, he made a call to Tian Fang. Hearing that Nuonuo was not in a good mood, Tian Fang secretly thought it was not good, but she didn’t dare to bring up what happened today. She only said that the little girl was probably tired and just needed some rest.

On the other side, Tian Fang was secretly thinking about how to pull that stubborn little girl Nuonuo out of her rut tomorrow. On this side, Da Bao was genuinely worried about Nuonuo’s mood and health.

After hanging up the phone, he walked out of the living room and happened to see his parents coming home from work. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"Mommy, Nuonuo doesn’t seem to be in a good mood. How about you have a talk with her?"

Le Tong was always very attentive to the children’s matters. Hearing Da Bao say this, she quickly put down her bag and went to the kitchen to pull Nuonuo out.

"Nuonuo, come help Mommy trim the flower branches."

The roses in the yard were growing more and more lush, indeed needing some good trimming.

Nuonuo put on gloves, obediently took the shears, and stood alongside Le Tong in front of the flowers, professionally snipping off those particularly awkward branches.

"Is the new semester’s coursework difficult?" Le Tong was very good at chatting with the children, after all, she had been their mother for over ten years.

Heart-to-heart talks require a different approach. Like now, finding something else to do while chatting casually can garner more trust from the children and make it easier to obtain the information she wanted.

Sure enough, the little girl responded without any guard, "It’s not hard. The most important professional course is once again taught by Teacher Fan. I’ve become familiar with his teaching style, so it’s easy to understand."

"Your daddy and I were worried that the time you spent filming would affect your studies for almost a semester, and were concerned you wouldn’t be able to handle it."

"No such thing. Even when filming, I make time to catch up on my studies, so you and Daddy don’t need to worry."

In this regard, Le Tong indeed wasn’t worried, and her teachers at the school initially feared she’d neglect her studies due to acting. But by the end of the semester, she excelled in all her finals, especially in Teacher Fan’s course where she topped the department.

She managed to juggle academics and acting not because she became smarter by hanging out with Da Bao, but because after filming, no matter how tired she was, she would catch up on the day’s lessons through videos or the help of classmates. In the car that picked her up, her books and violin were always there. Sometimes, when her role was minimal, she’d sneak a moment to read or practice violin.

"Mm, as parents, we don’t have many demands. We just hope you’re happy and, of course, it’s best if you excel academically and career-wise. But don’t force yourself if you can’t..."

Le Tong could also see how heavy-hearted this girl seemed. She’d heard from Tian Fang and Little Treasure that in terms of acting, this girl was talented and intuitive. Even though "Spring" was her debut film, her acting was spot-on.

Yet, her acting skills were mostly visible in front of the camera. With family, she’s just the same as before, easy to understand.

If Nuonuo couldn’t detect that Mommy was probing into her heart’s worries, she’d truly be exceedingly naive.

"Mommy, it’s not as you say. When it comes to studies and acting, I won’t impose too much pressure on myself. I know I’m a newcomer to acting, and I’ll learn well from Teacher Tan and the seniors in the crew. I won’t be stressed, but I will set a goal for myself."

Hearing her say this, and reflecting on her behavior for the past six months, Le Tong realized she truly had the right mindset. That meant her bad mood wasn’t due to study or things in the entertainment industry?

"If you think that way, we’re at ease. But you don’t seem to have much energy today, did you not sleep well last night? Or are you tired from class?"

For Le Tong’s frank question, Nuonuo didn’t immediately answer, hanging her head as she clipped away some more branches.

"As one grows up, there naturally are more worries. But when encountering troubles, it’s best to solve them, rather than evade them. Like these flower branches, if we ignore them, they’ll ultimately grow into a chaotic mess of thorns."

Seeing her remain silent, Le Tong hinted again that worries are best addressed and not bottled up.

Nuonuo looked silently at Le Tong, and finally, she shared with Le Tong what she couldn’t bring herself to discuss with Da Bao.

Le Tong listened quietly, not interjecting with any opinions until Nuonuo briefly outlined the content of the posts she saw online. Le Tong was then one hundred percent certain of the heart of her daughter’s worries.

"Silly girl, you don’t need to worry about this. Your brother is a man, if he can’t even endure this for you, then he’s not worthy of saying he loves you, got it?"

There were things Le Tong kept to herself and didn’t voice.

The men in the Ji Family had a strong emotional purity. The notion of being spiritually and physically united might be a joke or hollow words for many men, but both Ji Rui and Ji Yu seemed very committed in this regard.

Surely, Ji Huan and Ji Xiaobao, sharing the same blood, will one day be just like their daddy and brother.

Nuonuo’s face was flushed, after all, this was her first time speaking so bluntly about such a topic with someone. Luckily, the person listening was her most trusted mommy.

"But... Brother is twenty-five, having needs is normal, isn’t it?"

Exactly what kind of needs, for the innocent young Nuonuo who’d never watched a rated movie, was only a hazy outline without specific images or processes.

Facing her, Le Tong said solemnly, "Silly, men have needs and naturally can find their ways to resolve them. Otherwise, before finding a girlfriend, wouldn’t they feel suffocated? It’s not at all necessary to find someone outside to vent as those disgusting men mentioned online do. Those men aren’t so much driven by unsatisfactory married life prompting them to cheat, as they are finding excuses for their disgusting irresponsibility. Women aren’t tools for men’s release. Engaging in substantial acts with men isn’t wrong, but it should be grounded in love."

Le Tong, being quite conservative in male-female relationships and having only had Ji Rui her entire life, believed that Nuonuo and Da Bao would share a lifetime together like her and Ji Rui.

As for Nuonuo’s worries, she felt there was nothing much to be concerned about. President Ji took much longer to open up than Da Bao has now!
