Tao Jia stared at Yan Bo with her mouth agape, speechless for a long time.
Yan Bo didn't intend to reveal Tong Xiaohuai's family background, but he also didn't plan to hide it all.
"I thought she was just an ordinary girl..."
Tao Jia recalled the arrogant attitude she had when she mentioned Yan Bo's background to Tong Xiaohuai that morning, and vaguely realized that she seemed to have done something stupid.
So, Tong Xiaohuai is actually a wealthy heiress?
Yan Bo considered it for a moment, "Strictly speaking, she shouldn't be considered a child from an ordinary family."
To put it another way, if Tong Xiaohuai were from an ordinary family, things would probably be much easier to handle.
Tao Jia didn't quite understand Yan Bo's words, but Yan Bo didn't seem inclined to explain. After handing her the drink menu, he picked up the remote and randomly selected a few songs.
After the manager brought up the drinks, snacks, and fruit platter, Tong Xiaohuai arrived.
"Jiajia, I'm so sorry about what happened this afternoon. Did you have a good dinner?" Tong Xiaohuai apologized to Tao Jia as soon as he entered the door.
Yan Bo made her sit between him and Tao Jia, and while she was apologizing, he leaned over and kissed her on the cheek.
As soon as she entered the door, he noticed that the gloom that had hung over her face at noon had dissipated, and she had regained her usual confident and optimistic demeanor.
Although he didn't understand how she had come to this conclusion in such a short time, as long as she didn't get stuck on things, everything else was just a trivial matter.
Tong Xiaohuai felt a flush on her face and reached out to touch Yan Bo's face to comfort him, but she was still facing Tao Jia.
Tao Jia assumed that Tong Xiaohuai was genuinely busy, and seeing her sincere apology, she picked up the juice from the coffee table and handed it to Tong Xiaohuai, saying, "Just drink this as an apology!"
Clearly, she was deliberately giving Tong Xiaohuai a way out.
Tong Xiaohuai took the cup with a smile and drank the juice in one gulp.
Tao Jia also had sharp eyes. She noticed that Yan Bo's gaze had been fixed on Tong Xiaohuai's face ever since Tong Xiaohuai entered the room. A song she was familiar with was playing on the screen, so she took the microphone, walked to the high stool in front, sat down, and turned on the microphone.
"I'll sing, you two can do as you please."
After saying that, he turned completely around and faced away from Yan Bo and Tong Xiaohuai, and began to sing.
Her voice was average, her pitch was average, and her singing skills were decent but not particularly surprising. However, it was pleasant to listen to. In addition, the song was a gentle piece, so she sang attentively while Yan Bo and Tong Xiaohuai chatted in the background.
Yan Bo put his arm around Tong Xiaohuai's shoulder, making her face him so that they could look into each other's eyes.
"Xiao Huai, you're not angry anymore?"
Even now, Yanbo still finds it hard to believe.
From his perspective, his intention in keeping this from her was certainly for her own good.
From her perspective, it was a crime of deception, and she deserved to be angry about it.
So when he heard her say on the phone that she needed to think it over, his heart felt like a stone sinking into the sea.
At that moment, Tong Xiaohuai was looking at him with bright, sparkling eyes. Under his affectionate gaze, she squinted slightly and the corners of her lips turned up.
"Who said I'm not angry?"
She said she was angry, but her eyes and face were full of joy and mischief.
"It's my fault, I shouldn't have kept it from you. You can hit me or scold me as you please, as long as you're not angry!"
Yan Bo coaxed her gently, then pouted and gave her a quick kiss on the lips.
"You really want me to hit you or scold you as you please?" Tong Xiaohuai looked at him with a sly smile.
"Of course, you can scold and beat me for the rest of your life as long as you're happy."
"You won't fight back when hit or talk back when insulted?" Tong Xiaohuai's mood was getting better and better, and the curve of her lips was getting wider and wider.
Fortunately, Tao Jia was singing with great enthusiasm in front of her; otherwise, she would have been absolutely disgusted by their cloying loveiness.
When Yan Bo learned from Tong Xiaohuai that she was able to get out of her rut so quickly, it was all thanks to his future father-in-law's stern rebuke.
He secretly made up his mind that he would call his best friend later and buy all the comic books he had.
After their quarrel, the young couple were even sweeter than usual, whispering sweet nothings to each other, and neither of them thought about going to sing karaoke or anything like that.
Tao Jia sat in front and monopolized the microphone for nearly twenty minutes, singing five or six songs. Finally, she turned around because her throat couldn't take it anymore.
Turning around, he saw Yan Bo embracing Tong Xiaohuai, kissing her passionately.
Tao Jia covered her eyes, somewhat regretting coming out to sing with this despicable couple.
This isn't singing! It's clearly her singing a love song in the front, while the two of them are creating a romantic and intimate music video background in the background, matching the lyrics!
"Cough cough..."
Tao Jia couldn't resist in the end and acted as the tactless bad guy for a while.
Because this couple is too cruel; they've been kissing for two or three minutes straight without stopping.
She's single, and being exposed to such a shocking scene would give her a heart attack at any moment!
Immersed in Yan Bo's tender affection, Tong Xiaohuai, who was limply nestled in Yan Bo's arms, quickly struggled to push Yan Bo away and stood up abruptly upon hearing the cough.
"I...I'll sing a song..."
Feeling embarrassed, she desperately wanted to find something to distract herself from her panic. As she spoke, she picked up the microphone and took a few steps forward.
Yan Bo glared fiercely at Tao Jia, his face filled with resentment and anger.
Tao Jia patted Tong Xiaohuai's shoulder meaningfully, then ran back to Yan Bo's side, shoved the wheat into his hand, and playfully nudged him.
"Go ahead, you and Xiao Huai sing a few love songs for me, I'll drink!"
Yan Bo glared at her again and threatened in a low voice, "If you dare to sabotage me again, I'll pack you up and send you back to the capital in a bit."
Tao Jia's family is very strict. If it weren't for the excuse of visiting Yan Bo, she wouldn't be able to go out so easily. She would need several bodyguards with her at all times.
Therefore, Yan Bo, who knew her weakness well, hit the mark immediately.
Tao Jia blinked, raised her hand and made a zipper gesture on her lips, then plopped down on the sofa and poured herself a drink.
Yan Bo realized this wasn't a solution, so he dragged the stool over to Tong Xiaohuai's side.
"Xiao Huai, shall I call Di Xu over?"
Tong Xiaohuai immediately understood his intention and nodded to indicate that she had no objection.
So, poor Assistant Di, who had worked hard all week and finally got a day off, was suddenly summoned to a KTV by his boss on his way to a bar.
Di Xu, who had rushed over in a sorry state, thought he was there to accompany a client, but little did he know that it was actually his private time to have fun. His future boss's wife even gave him permission to eat and play as much as he wanted.
Tao Jia is someone who can't stand being alone. Once she has company, she clamors to go downstairs to dance.
"Di Xu, you go downstairs to play with Jiajia."
For Yanbo, this was a win-win solution.
He and Tong Xiaohuai can enjoy their time together without worrying about Tao Jia feeling bored.
