He had never pursued a girl, but his brothers who started a business with him abroad had countless experiences in pursuing girls that he could replicate and apply.
Actually, there were many more direct and domineering approaches, but he was afraid of scaring her.
I'm afraid I'll be accused of being pretentious if I say it out loud, but anyway, in Ling Shao's group's eyes she's a gangster's daughter, and they say that although she looks innocent on the surface, she might be more unrestrained and playful than anyone else.
But in his heart, he always believed that, apart from being born into a special family, she was no different from any other eighteen-year-old girl.
They both possess a delicate heart and a yearning for beautiful emotions.
This is probably what they mean by "beauty is in the eye of the beholder."
After Yan Bo boasted about himself in this way, he let himself follow his heart and pursue her.
Knowing that she would be starting school soon, I sent her flowers and a variety of practical and cute school supplies over the past few days.
Tong Xiaohuai felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze, so she turned her face away and nodded, "Yes, it's quite pretty, but don't send any more, it's a waste of money."
Although Tong Xiaohuai was born into a family with a history in the underworld, her mother came from a respectable family. Influenced by her parents, Tong Xiaohuai's personality was a combination of both of them, making her a contradictory individual.
Yan Bo's gaze remained fixed on her face. "Money is meant to be earned and spent. If it can earn you affection, then it's not a waste."
Tong Xiaohuai turned her face and said formally.
"Then I don't like it!"
Yan Bo was amused by her, "Then I'll keep going until you're satisfied! I never do anything halfway through."
It was only much later that Tong Xiaohuai realized that Yan Bo's gentleness was just a facade, an illusion. In reality, he was only gentle on the surface; inside, he was more domineering and stubborn.
At this moment, she was somewhat at a loss because of his words.
"Don't bother sending it... we don't have enough room at home..."
She found that she, who was usually quite eloquent, seemed flustered and tongue-tied in front of him.
"I see your house is quite big. You can put one in the living room, one in the dining room, one in the study, and one in the bedroom. There should be enough room!"
It seems that no matter what Tong Xiaohuai says, Yan Bo can always find a reason to persuade her.
Tong Xiaohua hesitated for a moment, as if she wanted to say something, when the staff at the service desk brought over two cups of coffee and snacks. She took the coffee, lowered her head and pretended to drink it, unwilling to dwell on the previous question any longer.
Anyway, let him give her whatever he wants; it's not like it's her money he's spending.
Yan Bo also picked up his coffee and took a sip, staring at her lowered eyes for a moment.
After a while, seeing that she still didn't look up at him, he had no choice but to change the subject.
"Miss Tong, I have a question I'd like to ask you."
Tong Xiaohuai only remembered that he had indeed said that when he was asked that question.
She looked up and her eyes met his.
His pupils were very dark and deep, as if they possessed a mysterious attraction; at first glance, they seemed to suck one's soul in.
Tong Xiaohuai felt as if her heart had been violently ripped apart. She took a deep breath before she came to her senses.
"Yes, please go ahead."
"I'd like to ask, who designed the chess and card room in the clubhouse? My mom loves this kind of antique and elegant design. Could you introduce me to the designer?"
When Yan Bo learned that Boss Tong was the largest shareholder of this club, he became suspicious. Boss Tong seemed like a rough man. Where did he get the idea to set up such a unique chess and card room?
Tong Xiaohuai paused for a moment, "You mean the layout of the card and chess room?"
As far as Yanbo knows, the layout of each private room in the chess and card room is different, and each room has a different style corresponding to its name.
"Yes, I've been to three different ones, and each one has a different layout."
Yanbo has only been in L City for a little over a month, but he has already visited this place three times, which shows that he really likes the chess and card rooms here.
Before knowing the inside story, he thought that the boss must be a person of refined taste.
Of course, he had never been to any other places here; he made that guess based solely on the layout and decoration of the card and chess hall.
He was now certain that his boss was a straightforward, unconventional man, completely devoid of any elegance.
"Mr. Yan, the layout of the chess and card room wasn't designed by any designer; it was just something my mother did for fun."
Tong Xiaohuai herself doesn't understand interior design or anything like that. She just finds the layout of the chess and card room pleasing to the eye and doesn't think there's anything special about it. This is because her mother has decorated her home study and tea room in a similar style, so she has never thought there's anything outstanding about it.
Yan Bo was very surprised, "Your mother designed it?"
He'd believe it if you told him it was designed by a master.
He quickly gathered information about Tong Xiaohuai's mother. Strangely, her mother seemed to be very low-key, or perhaps Tong Laoda deliberately kept her hidden. The information he obtained contained very little about her mother.
"Yes, my mom doesn't have many hobbies. She just likes to enjoy tea, paint, write calligraphy, and read books."
Yan Bo finally understood why a rough and unrestrained man like Tong Laoda could raise such a beautiful and intelligent daughter as Tong Xiaohuai.
"Unfortunately, I'm not like my mom!"
Tong Xiaohuai sighed softly and placed the cup on the coffee table.
Seeing that she was clearly downcast, Yan Bo felt a little sorry for her and regretted asking her such a question, as it seemed to have stirred up some unpleasant memories for her.
"I really want to visit Auntie sometime..."
"They went abroad for vacation, and we don't know when they'll be back."
This was no secret, and Tong Xiaohuai naturally blurted it out.
Yan Bo gave her a deep look. Although he felt it was a bit abrupt, he still boldly asked the question.
"Since you eat alone at home just like me, how about we have dinner together tonight?"
Tong Xiaohuai hadn't expected that he would suddenly invite her to dinner after just asking a question, and a wary look appeared on her face.
"I had invited some uncles and elders to dinner, sorry!"
As he spoke, seeing Manager Zhu take out the forms and walk over, he immediately stood up. "Mr. Yan, I'm sorry, Uncle Ming is still waiting for me in the car. Excuse me!"
Yan Bo had already prepared himself for rejection the moment he opened his mouth, so he wasn't too disappointed. He stood up and smiled at her, "Okay, you go ahead and do your thing. We'll reschedule for another day."
The tone of his voice had lost its initial politeness and had become more intimate.
Tong Xiaohuai nodded to him again as a farewell, and instructed Manager Zhu, who had already walked over, "Give Mr. Yan a 20% discount!"
