Tong Xiaohuai was both ashamed and annoyed, but she had no choice but to drink the soup.
Yan Bo, however, had no intention of letting her go so easily. He took the opportunity to suck on her lips several times before releasing her after a few seconds, looking at her with a meaningful smile in his eyes.
"How is it? Does it taste good?"
Tong Xiaohuai was a little dazed, her face flushed as she looked at him, unsure whether to nod or shake her head.
Yanbo's mood, which had been gloomy for the past two days, was instantly lifted by a strong wind, leaving him with clear skies and a refreshing feeling.
Yan Bo raised his hand and cupped the back of her head, pressing his forehead against hers, and said in a low and gentle voice.
"Xiao Huai, thank you!"
A wave of ambiguous air washed over Tong Xiaohuai's face, making her blush even more.
She fluttered her eyelashes and lowered her eyes.
His gaze was so intense that if she didn't look away, she feared she would be burned.
There's no need for thanks between us!
If, before she knew Yan Bo's true identity, she was still a little uncertain about her future with him...
After learning about his background and hearing her father's wake-up call, she made up her mind that no matter what happened from now on, she would face it with him, without any distinction between them.
Yan Bo felt a surge of emotion, and the heat in his eyes grew stronger. However, he said nothing more, but instead brought his face closer, his nose touching her slightly cool nose, and gently rubbing against it.
This gesture was full of warmth and tenderness.
Tong Xiaohuai closed her eyes slightly and took the initiative to bring her lips to his, giving him a light, fleeting kiss.
For once, Yan Bo didn't deliberately pursue her lips. After her lips left, he simply pressed his face against hers with lingering affection, gently rubbing against hers.
Halfway through their meal, Tong Xiaohuai suddenly said to Yan Bo, "How about we find a suitable time for me to accompany you home to visit your parents?"
She felt that since she was going to face this relationship positively, it also included actively helping him deal with the various difficulties that his family might encounter.
Yan Bo paused for a moment, then realized what was happening and reached out to hold her hand.
"Okay, I'll make the arrangements."
Although Yanbo was reluctant to see Tong Xiaohuai suffer or face any doubts, his parents were indeed very important to him. Without their blessings, neither he nor she would be happy.
Moreover, since she has decided to face this together with him, he must respect her wishes.
"Xiao Huai..."
But while respecting her, it's also important to make her understand the true situation.
"Um?"
"I'm not sure how my parents feel about you..."
Yan Bo felt a little guilty. In fact, it was not hard to tell from his parents' feigned ignorance and their quick attempt to match him with Tao Jia that his parents did not like Tong Xiaohuai.
Or, to be more precise, what they disliked was Tong Xiaohuai's background, since they neither knew nor understood Tong Xiaohuai.
Tong Xiaohuai was already mentally prepared for Yan Bo's parents' attitude, so she calmly nodded and said, "I understand. I will work with you to try to gain their understanding and get them to accept us as soon as possible."
Tong Xiaohuai seemed to have matured a lot overnight. For the first time in her relationship with Yan Bo, she took on the role of the one who would take responsibility.
Previously, she was mostly protected and pampered by Yan Bo.
After mentioning to Yan Bo about visiting the capital together, Tong Xiaohuai began preparing a gift for their meeting.
Although the departure date has not yet been decided, choosing a suitable gift is not an easy task.
For this reason, Tong Xiaohuai also asked her parents for advice on many things.
Neither Tong's mother nor Tong's eldest son objected to Tong Xiaohuai's suggestion to return to Beijing with Yan Bo to visit the elders of the Yan family.
Of course, they also hoped that their daughter would be liked by the Yan family.
Of course, nothing in this world comes without effort, and there is no such thing as liking something for no reason.
If you want to be liked by others, you must first show them your feelings.
As the younger generation, the daughter should naturally take the lead.
"Or, Xiao Huai could say nothing at all, let them like her first, and then slowly tell them about her background later?"
Qin Ming, as the uncle, was extremely worried, fearing that Tong Xiaohuai would suffer some losses because of her background.
Tong Laoda rolled his eyes at him, "Do you think the Yan family is just for show? Do you think they can keep anything from others if they want to know it?"
If the other party already knows that Yan Bo has his daughter by his side, they probably would have already found out about the Tong family's ancestors for eighteen generations. What's the point of trying to cover it up?
Tong Xiaohuai clearly thought the same way. Since the other party might have already figured out her background, she would just go and visit them openly and honestly. There was nothing to back down from, and nothing to be afraid of.
But even so, once the two of them actually boarded the plane to Beijing together, Tong Xiaohuai finally couldn't sit still anymore.
Yan Bo was also uneasy, but he didn't want his emotions to affect Tong Xiaohuai, so he asked the flight attendant to bring a blanket and forcibly ordered Tong Xiaohuai to take a nap.
Tong Xiaohuai pouted, "How can you be like this? I'm not tired at all, how can I sleep?"
Yan Bo smiled at her and said, "How about I sing you a lullaby?"
Tong Xiaohuai kicked him lightly, though of course.
She is very strong; if she didn't carefully control her strength, she could easily kick someone and cause bruises.
"Why don't you cover yourself with a blanket, close your eyes, and listen to some music? If you can sleep, great; if not, just relax."
Tong Xiaohuai wasn't one to argue or make a fuss. Seeing how hard he was trying to coax her, she obediently hid away.
Yanbo adjusted the chair back height for her and then covered her with a blanket.
Tong Xiaohuai gently patted his head, pulled him down, and pecked him on the lips.
"I'm going to close my eyes for a bit. If you have something to do, go ahead and do it."
She had a vague feeling that he had run into some trouble lately.
But after she asked him two or three times, he refused to tell her anything, so she wisely stopped asking.
Besides, she didn't know much about what was going on in his company, and since she thought she couldn't help, she felt embarrassed to keep asking questions.
Yan Bo nodded. "Yes, I do have two plans to review later. I'll take a nap after I finish reading them."
For more than a week, Yanhuang's applications to various banks in L City have been rejected for different reasons. This has never happened before. Yanbo doesn't believe that his father isn't secretly playing some tricks.
However, he is also a stubborn person.
Knowing that his father was pressuring him because of Tong Xiaohuai's matter, he had not called his father once in the past ten days, despite hitting walls everywhere.
