Yan Bo understood, put the thick coat he was holding on her, buttoning it from the bottom all the way up to her chin, and finally, he also turned up the hat and put it on her head.
After successfully wrapping Tong Xiaohuai up like a rice dumpling, Yan Bo put on his coat and then reached out his hand to Tong Xiaohuai, saying, "Let's go! Let's have some alone time together!"
Tong Xiaohuai smiled and placed her hand in Yan Bo's palm, then turned to her parents with a sweet smile, and waved her hand out from her large sleeve.
"Mr. Tong Yunxiang, I'm leaving this to you. Remember, make sure you appease Ms. Shen Weiyao! If she shows even the slightest dissatisfaction, watch out for your head!"
Boss Tong gave his precious daughter an OK sign, then waved his hand, signaling them to get lost!
Tong Xiaohuai and Yan Bo walked out the door hand in hand. "You really bought fireworks?"
Actually, Tong Xiaohuai wasn't entirely convinced. However, she didn't want to stay indoors and be a third wheel, so she chose to come out with Yan Bo to enjoy the cold air.
Yan Bo neither said yes nor no, but simply led her to the back of his car. The trunk opened, and a fragrant aroma wafted out.
A hint of surprise flashed in Tong Xiaohuai's eyes. Looking down, she saw a large bouquet of pink roses that took up half of the trunk.
Her father's words flashed through her mind, and she blurted them out without thinking.
"Are you... proposing?"
Yan Bo chuckled, then, afraid of upsetting her, quickly covered his mouth with his fist and coughed lightly twice.
"Fool, of course not! This is a New Year's gift!"
He loved her so much that he couldn't bear to see her suffer even the slightest grievance.
However, reality slapped him hard in the face. She, who had never suffered any injustice since childhood, endured ridicule and exclusion from his parents because of him.
He felt sorry for her, but for the time being, there was no quick way to change his parents' attitude.
Therefore, he was willing to spoil and pamper her without any limits in his daily life.
He had already thought about proposing, but of course, he wouldn't take such a shortcut.
Tong Xiaohuai happily accepted the flowers he offered, buried her nose in the pile of flowers, and took a deep breath.
Wow! It smells so good!
Yan Bo lowered his eyes and looked at her with guilt.
At times like this, she's like a child; just give her a little something nice, and she'll be jumping for joy.
But when facing his parents, she was mature and persistent, which was heartbreaking.
"You like it?" Yan Bo patted her head.
"I love it! It's so beautiful, who wouldn't like it?"
Tong Xiaohua muttered to herself, then lowered her head and took another breath.
Yanbo touched her still warm face with his hand, "If you like it, I'll buy it for you every day from now on!"
Tong Xiaohuai suddenly looked up and glared at him. "Are you stupid? Sending gifts every day, even the best things, will get boring if you send them every day. You can send gifts, but only on special days, understand?"
Compared to many girls her age, Tong Xiaohuai was less vain and more frank.
Her frankness is something that even in an ordinary family, let alone one with her family background, it would be difficult for children to live so freely and without restraint.
In this regard, Yan Bode admitted that Tong Laoda and Tong Ma really gave Tong Xiaohuai a very good, happy and loving family environment.
Only in a loving and happy family can a child be raised to be so frank, straightforward, unpretentious, and genuine.
"Do you understand?" Tong Xiaohuai asked again, confirming that Yan Bo remained silent.
Yan Bo lowered his head and found her lips, sucking on them deeply a few times before putting her down. He then chuckled and replied, "I know. You're working so hard to save up for your dowry, so of course I have to work hard to save up more for my future wife. Otherwise, what am I supposed to do if my father-in-law doesn't want you to suffer poverty with me?"
Tong Xiaohuai snorted twice, "You're good at knowing what's good for you!" She glanced down at the bouquet in her arms, "What should we do with these flowers? Should we take them back?"
Because the two of them said they wanted to have some alone time, none of the servants or bodyguards came out with them. In the desolate night, the north wind howled, and the big trees in front of the mansion rustled loudly in the wind.
Yan Bo and Tong Xiaohuai, standing in the north wind, felt warm all over, both physically and mentally.
"Just leave it in the carriage. Take it back after you're done with the fireworks. It won't break."
Yanbo took the bouquet from her arms, put it back in the trunk, and then took out a large bag of items from inside.
"What is this?" Tong Xiaohuai bent down and looked down.
"A whole bag of romance!"
Yan Bo spoke mysteriously, then slammed the door shut and took Tong Xiaohuai's hand, walking towards the main road.
Tong Xiaohua buried her face in his arms and laughed, "Yanbo, you're so cheesy!"
Yan Bo laughed too, "How can you call it pedantic? I call it cultured and talented."
Tong Xiaohuai laughed uncontrollably. When she finally managed to stop laughing, she realized that Yan Bo had led her onto a side path.
Where are we going?
This road leads to the pond in Tongjia Village.
The Tong family members are all uncouth. The pond is just a pond; it's not a lotus pond or a goldfish pond. It's just a stagnant pool.
Therefore, Tong Xiaohuai rarely went around here because there was nothing to see.
"Let's find a spot by the pond to set off fireworks!"
Tong Xiaohuai was a little puzzled. "Are you afraid the fireworks will fall into the woods? Actually, it would be fine to go to the playground. It's very open there."
Yan Bo didn't explain anything, nor did he intend to turn back. He led her to the edge of the pond.
"You stand there and wait for me."
Yan Bo carried the large bag of fireworks away, found a relatively flat spot on the lawn by the pond, took out a plastic mat he had prepared earlier from the bag, and spread it out on the lawn.
He straightened up and waved to Tong Xiaohuai, who was standing to the side, "Xiaohuai, come here!"
Tong Xiaohuai jogged over and was somewhat surprised to see a mat laid out on the ground.
"You even prepared this? How thoughtful." She had been standing a bit far away and couldn't see what he was doing at all. She only saw him bent over with his butt sticking out, busy with something on the lawn.
"Yes, I also asked Miss Guo and found out that so many things need to be prepared."
The implication is that he had been preparing for tonight's romantic fireworks show for some time.
Tong Xiaohuai was deeply moved. Her nose felt sore and itchy, so she raised her hand and rubbed it hard.
This startled Yanbo. "What's wrong? Are you cold?"
He nervously leaned closer, took her hand, and stroked it in his own.
Tong Xiaohuai chuckled apologetically, "It's not cold, but the wind is a bit strong, and my nose can't stand it."
She was too embarrassed to tell him that she was actually so moved that she almost cried!
