Clearly, she took his casual promise from last night seriously, so she bought medicine for him early this morning.
But why has the situation, which was clearly full of concern, turned into such a troublesome state, like a hedgehog?
Tong Xiaohuai glared at him, ignored him, and continued to sulk by herself.
Seeing that she ignored him, Yan Bo remained silent, sitting quietly and waiting for Tong Xiaohuai to speak.
After all, he didn't know why she was angry. What if he said something reckless and touched a nerve?
Tong Xiaohuai fumed for a while before rolling her eyes at him and saying gruffly, "Tell me, what important thing have you been hiding from me lately?"
Yanbo instinctively wanted to answer no, but being as clever as he was, he quickly went through her unusual behavior and immediately thought of something else.
While some possibilities are unlikely, they are not absolute.
Just as Yan Bo was hesitating about whether to confess and try to get leniency, Tong Xiaohuai finally couldn't stand it anymore and suddenly stood up, "I'm leaving!"
Yan Bo panicked and chased after her in a few steps, grabbing her arm.
"Xiao Huai, don't be like this, I'll tell you! I'll tell you whatever you want to know."
Tong Xiaohuai glanced at him sideways and said angrily, "Don't ask me what I want to know, ask yourself what you want me to know?"
Yan Bo was speechless and could only hurriedly pull the person back, half-hugging and half-pushing them.
Her anger suggests she knows Yanhuang Real Estate is experiencing cash flow problems, but where she got this information is unknown.
However, the most important thing right now is not to find out the source of the information, but to put out her anger first.
"Xiao Huai, sit down first, let me pour you a glass of water to help you catch your breath."
Yan Bo wanted to buy himself some time to sort out what had happened these past few days and figure out how to talk to Tong Xiaohuai to calm her down faster.
To be honest, making her angry was never his intention.
He simply believed that he could handle the matter himself and there was no need to cause Tong Xiaohuai unnecessary trouble.
"No need, I just had a big drink at the company."
Tong Xiaohuai answered angrily, indirectly revealing the source of her information, which was most likely Di Xu.
Yan Bo had no choice but to sit down next to her. This time, Tong Xiaohuai didn't ask him to sit opposite her.
"Xiao Huai, the company has indeed encountered some problems recently, but I am trying to resolve them."
Tong Xiaohuai was getting impatient and snorted, "Almost done?"
Yan Bo paused for a moment, then finally shook his head and honestly said, "Not yet, but I always thought it could be resolved, which is why I haven't told you."
Tong Xiaohuai stared at him, "Didn't I tell you last time that I could help if you had any financial difficulties? But you just..."
As Tong Xiaohuai was speaking, she suddenly couldn't continue, and her eyes reddened.
To be honest, she was really furious just now.
Many thoughts raced through her mind. She feared that he might not tell her because he was afraid that the Tong family's reputation would tarnish the reputation of the Chinese people.
She was also afraid that he wouldn't tell her, because he wanted to draw a line between them.
Either of these reasons made her feel bad.
When Yanbo saw that her eyes were red, he panicked and quickly opened his arms to hug her, refusing to let go no matter how much she struggled.
She is an extremely stubborn person; the typical crying and whining behavior of ordinary girls is rarely seen in her.
Therefore, he knew that she was in great distress. In other words, the thing he had deliberately concealed was causing her great pain.
"Xiao Huai, I'm sorry! Really, I genuinely thought I could handle it myself, that's why I didn't tell you, it wasn't for any other reason."
As Yanbo spoke, he hurriedly patted her back with his palm, "I'm sorry, it's my fault, I shouldn't have kept it from you."
The usually calm and gentle Yan Bo lost his composure because of Tong Xiaohuai.
He murmured "I'm sorry" while gently comforting Tong Xiaohuai.
Tong Xiaohuai struggled in his arms for a while, then gradually calmed down. After a long while, she pushed him away, looked up at him, her eyes red, but still filled with resentment and anger.
“Yanbo, we agreed to face everything together, but you…” Tong Xiaohuai choked up, sniffed heavily, and continued, “But you don’t treat me like family at all. Your company might go bankrupt because of this funding problem, and you’d rather drown your sorrows in alcohol than mention it to me. Even if I can’t help you, you could at least tell me, and that would make you feel better! But you haven’t said a word…”
Tong Xiaohuai knew that she was still young and that she was no match for Yan Bo in terms of business acumen and ability.
Even so, he asked himself, "Will I die?"
Seeing her distress, Yan Bo felt bad himself. The usually eloquent Yan Bo was at a loss for words to comfort her or defend himself.
All I could do was whisper "I'm sorry" while gently stroking her hair, hoping to ease her discomfort even a little.
"Yanbo, in your heart, am I just a doll that needs to be pampered and protected?"
Tong Xiaohuai stared intently at Yan Bo with accusing eyes.
Yan Bo sighed silently. Only then did he realize how much his bravado had caused her to misunderstand him.
He leaned closer and rubbed his face against hers a few times.
"Xiao Huai, it's not what you think. Really, I just didn't expect my dad to be so cruel!"
Indeed, he underestimated his father's ruthlessness, thinking that his father was just giving him a warning and would leave him a way out no matter what.
After being politely rejected by the private bank president last night, Yanbo finally understood that his father was trying to drive him to a dead end.
Unless he breaks up with Tong Xiaohuai decisively, as his father wishes, this restriction on his funds will never be lifted.
Or perhaps, Dad even made the worst-case scenario plan: that his investment in L City failed, and he would have no choice but to go back to Beijing.
Before today, Yanbo really didn't want to tell Tong Xiaohuai these things.
But now, seeing Tong Xiaohuai so heartbroken, Yan Bo wavered.
"Your dad? This has something to do with your dad?" Tong Xiaohuai was unaware of the details and was quite surprised, forgetting her anger.
Yan Bo didn't intend to hide it anymore. Just as Tong Xiaohuai said, since he and she were prepared to walk together, there would definitely be many similar big and small things happening in the future.
This time, he broke her heart and managed to win her back, but what about next time?
"Yes, this is a warning from my dad. He wants me to back down and compromise."
With Yan Bo being so frank, Tong Xiaohuai, being no fool, immediately understood everything.
"So what are you going to do?" Tong Xiaohuai asked nervously.
