On the surface, the dinner that evening seemed to have been a pleasant affair for all the guests.
Tong Xiaohuai booked a mid-range restaurant so as not to put any pressure on Zeng Xianghuai and Xiaomi.
Although Tong Xiaohuai rarely talks about her family, over time, Xiao Mi and Zeng Xianghuai have been able to roughly guess her unusual background based on her ever-present driver and bodyguard.
The restaurant was excellent in both its ambiance and the taste of the food. Of the four people, only Xiaomi could truly enjoy the meal with the heart of a foodie; the other three ate rather cautiously.
After all, all three of them understood that the real purpose of this meal was not what it seemed.
After dinner, Tong Xiaohuai and Yan Bo took Xiaomi and Zeng Xianghuai back to school. When saying goodbye, Yan Bo once again expressed his gratitude for their care and concern for Tong Xiaohuai during this time.
The implication of asserting sovereignty was quite obvious. Zeng Xianghuai wasn't stupid; he could easily understand that this was actually a way of treating him as an outsider.
If the opponent is someone of similar stature, he would probably find it hard to let go and would also find it difficult to convince himself to give up.
But with an opponent as powerful as Yan Bo, it's hard for him not to let go or not to give up.
A light bulb with limited power can be completely ignored in the face of the sun, both in terms of its light and its effect.
"Teacher Yan, Xiao Huai, thank you for your hospitality tonight. Be careful on your way home."
After saying goodbye to the two, Zeng Xianghuai turned around and walked into the school side by side with Xiaomi.
Are you sleeping at my place tonight?
The car turned around, and Tong Xiaohuai asked Yan Bo.
"No, I have a very important meeting tomorrow. I just remembered I haven't prepared some materials yet." After replying to Tong Xiaohuai, Yan Bo looked up at the driver and said, "Brother Yang, could you please take me to the parking lot later?"
“Okay, actually, if you’re in a hurry, I can take you back to Yanhuang first.” Brother Yang was very considerate to his future son-in-law.
"No need, I need the car tomorrow."
Tong Xiaohuai glanced at Yan Bo, who looked slightly tired, and touched his still somewhat swollen face apologetically.
“You could have just told me directly that we can eat anytime.”
Yan Bo placed his hand on hers. "That won't do! It's best to eat as soon as possible. Otherwise, the thought of my girlfriend being constantly watched by others will make me lose focus at work."
Tong Xiaohuai rolled her eyes at him, then said with a very serious expression.
"It's not as serious as you make it out to be. He didn't do anything outrageous. I just don't want him to waste any more of his time on me."
Yan Bo cursed himself for being too serious, and his voice softened.
"Fool, you don't need to explain this to me so clearly. I believe you."
Tong Xiaohuai nodded. "Yes, I know you believe me. I just don't want our precious time together to be affected by other irrelevant people and things."
Yanbo pressed his face against hers and gently rubbed it against hers.
"Xiao Huai, thank you for your thoughtfulness and understanding."
He used to not yearn for romance because he saw many of his friends become dramatic and demanding once they started dating.
Love is beautiful, but his youth is limited and he has too many things he wants to do, so he has never been willing to invest in it.
Until he met Tong Xiaohuai.
He couldn't control himself and plunged headfirst into it.
Fortunately, she is different from ordinary girls.
He was busy, and she was busy too.
She simply didn't have time to argue with him over trivial matters. In fact, she was very conscious of avoiding any unfavorable factors to prevent them from interfering with each other.
Yang drove the car back to the meeting point, and the ice cream shop was still open.
When Yan Bo got out of the car, he stopped Tong Xiaohuai from getting out as well, saying, "Don't get out, it's quite cold outside."
After closing the car door, Yanbo specifically instructed Yang Ge, "Yang Ge, on the way back, you need to keep a close eye on Xiao Huai and make sure she doesn't buy any more raw or cold food to eat."
Tong Xiaohuai rolled down the car window, leaned against it, glared at him, and muttered discontentedly, "I'm not a child..."
Yanbo lowered his head and kissed her pouting lips. "Sweetie, ice cream isn't just for little kids!"
Tong Xiaohuai snorted and ignored him.
Yanbo kissed her again and whispered, "Goodnight, baby."
As Tong Xiaohuai watched his tall figure disappear into the darkness of the trees, she suddenly remembered something very important.
"Yanbo, remember to put on a face mask before you go to bed tonight."
"knew……"
Yan Bo, who was in the shadows, turned around and waved to her casually before striding towards his car.
Yang was very sensible. He didn't start his car until he saw Yanbo's car disappear into the traffic, and then he took Tong Xiaohuai home.
Although Tong Xiaohuai was usually in good health, she had just recovered from an illness and went out for a walk. When she got home, she thought she could take a shower and snuggle into bed to review her lessons.
To everyone's surprise, she fell asleep just a few minutes after starting to read the book.
When I woke up, it was already early morning. The notes I had been reading before bed were spread out next to my pillow, while my phone was lying to the side.
Oh no!
I forgot to call Yanbo before bed last night.
Tong Xiaohuai quickly grabbed the phone and unlocked it. Sure enough, there was an unread message from Yan Bo inside.
"Honey, are you asleep? I've prepared all my documents, and I'm going to sleep now too. Goodnight!"
Looking at the time the message was sent, it was 11:45 PM last night.
In other words, he was busy for at least two more hours after he got back.
Tong Xiaohuai felt sorry for him after thinking about it, so she got up and went into the kitchen for more than half an hour.
Then, he ran to the kitchen every ten or eight minutes.
At noon, Yanbo received a call from Brother Yang.
"Third Young Master, where are you now?"
Yan Bo found it amusing. Did that girl send the driver to inquire about his whereabouts?
"I'm near the exhibition. I have a dinner appointment with a client here. We'll finish eating in about an hour. Is there anything I can help you with, Brother Yang?"
"Oh, it's nothing serious, it's just that Miss asked me to deliver some things. Could you please send me the exact address later so I can deliver them?"
After Yanbo finished having dinner with his clients, he went to the parking lot with Di Xu to get their cars. From a distance, they saw Brother Yang standing next to his car, carrying a large bag in his hand.
Di Xu also saw Brother Yang, and smiled as he punched Yan Bo in the face. "My little junior sister is so thoughtful, she sent the driver to deliver a love-filled bento box and soup again."
Yan Bo ignored him and strode over. "Brother Yang, I'm sorry to trouble you to make this trip."
As he spoke, he took the bag from Brother Yang's hand, pulled it open, and sure enough, there was another soup bowl inside.
"What kind of soup did Xiao Huai ask Uncle Guan to make this time?" Although he found it troublesome, Yan Bo still really liked the feeling of being pampered and cared for.
"It wasn't Uncle Guan who made it, it was Miss who made it."
