Yanbo had already told his older brother what to do, so he simply gave up and even blocked his older brother's phone number.
Tong Xiaohuai was unaware that Yan Bo had blocked her family members until a few days later when she received a call from Yan Yuan.
Tong Xiaohuai looked at the unfamiliar number on the phone, hesitated for a while, and then answered it just as the call was about to drop.
"Xiao Huai, this is Brother Yan!" The person on the other end of the phone introduced himself very politely.
"Brother Yan, hello!" Aside from a greeting, Tong Xiaohuai couldn't find anything to say in response.
How has Xiao Bo been these past few days?
Tong Xiaohuai was completely bewildered. Why didn't they ask her directly if her brother was alright, instead of going through her? Could this be a new trick the Yan family had come up with?
Tong Xiaohuai became wary and cautiously replied, "He's fine..."
As for other questions, she carefully kept them all to herself, not daring to reveal a single one.
She had met Yan Yuan two or three times, but he had always said that he would remain neutral on her and Yan Bo's relationship, neither approving nor opposing it.
But will this neutral stance be maintained indefinitely?
Tong Xiaohuai thought that might not be the case!
First of all, from the perspective of emotional balance, on one side of the scale are Yan's parents, and on the other side, only Yan Bo.
Furthermore, from the perspective of interests, and considering that Yan Yuan's parents oppose him, Yan Yuan also has reasons to oppose them, after all, now is the perfect time for him to take over.
Did he mention to you that he went home a few days ago?
Tong Xiaohuai became increasingly wary. "Yes, I heard him mention it, but we've both been busy these past few days and haven't met. I don't know the specifics."
"You didn't know that he blocked my parents and me?" Yan Yuan asked, sounding very suspicious.
Tong Xiaohuai was shocked; she really didn't know about this!
"What? He blocked your uncle and aunt's phone numbers and yours? Why?"
As soon as Tong Xiaohuai asked why, she immediately regretted it.
Is there even a need to ask why? It's obviously for her sake!
Fortunately, Yan Yuan seems to be maintaining a neutral stance and is still very polite to her.
"You'd better ask Xiao Bo why he blocked us. I can't pass on the details. I know it's not easy for you two, but I hope you can understand the good intentions of your parents."
Yan Yuan stopped there, politely said goodbye, and hung up the phone.
Tong Xiaohuai was still sitting in the classroom preparing for the exam. After hanging up the phone, she stared blankly at the phone for a long while.
"Yanbo, are you free tonight? Let's have dinner together!"
Yanbo replied quickly, "Okay, what do you want to eat? At home or out?"
Tong Xiaohuai thought for a moment, then sent the time and location directly, and then turned off her phone to prepare for the exam.
After she finished her exam, she turned on her computer and saw a message from Yanbo.
"Call me after you finish the exam, and I'll come pick you up."
Tong Xiaohuai didn't reply, but dialed the number directly.
"Xiao Huai, are you done with the exam?"
"Well, it's past five o'clock now. Don't waste your time going back and forth. Just come to the restaurant and wait for me."
Tong Xiaohuai chatted with him while tidying up her stationery.
"I just arrived here on business, and I'll be at L University in five minutes. Which building are you in? Wait for me in front of it!"
Ten minutes later, the black car pulled up next to Tong Xiaohuai. Tong Xiaohuai looked up and saw Yan Bo get out of the car.
"Didn't I tell you to wait for me in front of the building? It's so windy here, you must be cold!"
Yan Bo took her backpack with one hand and grabbed her hand with the other, rubbing it vigorously a few times.
"Sitting here will make you stand out; it'll be easy for you to find me."
Yan Bo led her to the passenger side, opened the car door, and helped her into the car.
"You're so easy to find! I can spot you in a crowd with just one glance!"
Yanbo's romantic words are getting better and better.
Even if Tong Xiaohuai heard such sweet words every day, she still couldn't resist them.
Her face flushed, she lowered her head and kissed Yan Bo on the cheek as he leaned in to help her fasten her seatbelt. "Third Young Master Yan, your flirting skills are getting better and better!"
Yan Bo tilted his head back, smiled, and leaned in to peck her lips.
"Did it make your heart flutter? Don't you think I'm getting more and more handsome?"
Tong Xiaohuai covered his eyes with one hand. This man's eyes and mouth are truly poisonous!
Just hearing him whisper sweet nothings and being gazed at with such deep affection made her feel weak all over, as if she had been poisoned.
"What, you won't let me see it?"
Yan Bo helped her fasten her seatbelt, raised his hand to pull her hand away, and still stared at her with a smile. However, his face got closer and closer, and before she could pull away, he took her lips in his mouth and gently bit them.
Before Tong Xiaohuai could even scold him, the man had already buried his face in the crook of her neck, taking a deep breath and murmuring, "Ah, I missed you so much!"
Tong Xiaohuai paused for a moment, then reached out her hand, hesitated for a second, and finally placed it on the back of his head, gently rubbing it.
She and Yanbo hadn't seen each other for several days, but they still called and texted each other every night.
If it weren't for Yan Yuan's phone call, Tong Xiaohuai wouldn't have known that Yan Bo had actually been suffering immense psychological torment these past few days.
The more Tong Xiaohuai thought about it, the more heartbroken she became. She couldn't help but lower her head, press her lips to the ends of his hair, and gently rub them a few times.
“If you find it hard to get through, you can move in with me. That way, no matter how late it is, we can at least see each other.”
After saying that, Tong Xiaohuai was afraid that Yan Bo would misunderstand, so she quickly explained, "Of course, I just meant for you to come and stay in the guest room, which is different from what my dad meant."
Yanbo lifted his head from the crook of her neck, kissed her again, and touched her face.
"Silly girl, I know. I'll consider your suggestion. However, there's been a lot going on at the company lately, so I'll stay here at the company to handle company affairs more conveniently."
Tong Xiaohuai didn't insist, patting his shoulder, "Well, you can think about it yourself. Anyway, my door is always open to you! You can come over whenever you like, my parents won't mind."
Yanbo isn't actually worried about this.
Because he could tell that both Tong's mother and Tong's eldest son basically treated him as one of their own, and even if he went to Tong's house every day to eat, drink, and sleep for free, they would never have any objections.
"I know that! Let's see how things go later."
Yan Bo released Tong Xiaohuai, closed the car door, walked around the front of the car back to the driver's seat, and got into the car.
"By the way, I can take a week off during the Spring Festival holiday to spend time with you. Go back and ask your parents if there's anywhere they'd like to go, and I'll take you out for a walk!"
If she hadn't received Yan Yuan's call, Tong Xiaohuai definitely wouldn't have thought much of it. But after hearing what Yan Bo said, she immediately understood that Yan Bo had really fallen out with his family!
