Tong Xiaohuai was very unwilling, but with four people present and a vote of three to one, it was a one-sided situation.
"Sweetie, sign it and we'll go eat," Yan Bo coaxed her.
Tong Xiaohuai held the pen in her hand, still hesitating.
Seeing this, Boss Tong had no choice but to resort to the last drastic measure, "Xiao Huai, think about it, for the sake of this company, Xiao Yan won't dare to treat you badly in the future, right?"
Tong Xiaohuai raised her head. "Dad, if you're going to use these shares as a tool to blackmail him, I'm even less likely to sign."
Tong's mother glared at Tong's eldest son, then comforted her daughter, "Xiao Huai, don't listen to your father's nonsense. Xiao Yan is right. Once you sign this agreement, Yan Huang will be your and his biological child."
Tong Xiaohuai reluctantly accepted this explanation.
Finally, she signed the agreement. Before signing, she specifically told Yan Bo, "I can sign my name, but I declare that I will not interfere in Yanhuang's affairs at all."
She was very clear about the gap in ability between herself and Yanbo. A company like Yanhuang was destined to become a large enterprise, and only someone like Yanbo had the ability to develop Yanhuang into such a massive company.
Yan Bo smiled and agreed, "Of course, you're the boss's wife. You can just sit at home and count the money. I'll do the hard work!"
Having received his promise, Tong Xiaohuai then said to Tong Laoda, "Dad, you too, you're not allowed to use this agreement to blackmail him anymore!"
Tong Laoda had a terrible headache. "Honey, Dad is trying to help you, but why do you make me sound like a big bad guy?"
Tong Xiaohuai didn't care about any of that; he only stared at Tong Laoda until Tong Laoda waved his hands in defeat.
"Alright, alright, I promise I won't interfere in anything concerning the Yanhuang or the agreement, okay? Ancestor!"
Tong Xiaohuai was finally satisfied and signed his name at the end of the agreement.
The other three people present finally breathed a sigh of relief.
That night, Yan Bo, Tong Laoda, Qin Ming, and a few others drank a whole jar of osmanthus-flavored aged wine.
They drank happily and chatted very pleasantly.
If before today, Boss Tong still had some wariness and apprehension towards Yan Bo, now he trusts Yan Bo completely and has directly regarded Yan Bo as his son-in-law.
During this time, Tong Xiaohuai visited the three of them several times and tried to persuade them, but to no avail, so he went to ask his mother to intervene.
Tong's mother was unusually lenient, saying, "Alright, your dad hasn't had a good drink in a long time. He's in a good mood today, so let the two of them drink to their hearts' content."
Tong's mother was well aware that her health was not good, and her daughter had not yet fully secured her position as the head of the Tong family. Therefore, Tong's eldest son was very careful every day, fearing that something might go wrong and he would be left with no one to take care of his wife and daughter.
Yan Bo's appearance was a great relief to Tong Laoda. The burden on his shoulders, if not half of it, was at least three or four tenths of it.
Of course, Tong Laoda wouldn't mention these things to Tong Xiaohuai.
Tong Xiaohuai glanced worriedly at the three people chatting animatedly in the dining room, gritted her teeth, and decided to ignore them.
"Mom, you go back to your room and rest. I'll go read a book too."
With final exams fast approaching, Tong Xiaohuai, a freshman, naturally had to cram for a while.
By the time the three of them finished a jar of osmanthus vinegar, the clock had struck eleven. After Qin Ming left, Tong Laoda and Yan Bo went back to their rooms.
Yan Bo, reeking of alcohol, didn't want to bother Tong Xiaohuai, so he went straight to the end of the corridor and entered his private room.
Because he had stayed here several times, the clothes, pajamas, and toiletries were all left behind by him and were neatly stacked in the closet.
Yan Bo took his pajamas inside and took a shower. When he came out, he saw Tong Xiaohuai sitting on the edge of the bed.
"Xiao Huai, are you still awake?"
Yan Bo was happy, but he didn't dare to get too close to her.
Normally, he could trust his own reason, but today was different.
Firstly, Tong Xiaohuai helped resolve the Yanhuang matter, which made him happy. When people are excited, their rationality tends to weaken.
Secondly, he had drunk quite a bit of alcohol, which is usually used to enhance the mood. Therefore, with just a little provocation, the flames in his heart would burn fiercely with the help of alcohol.
Tong Xiaohuai looked at him strangely, not understanding why he didn't sit on the edge of the bed, which was so big, but instead went around to sit on the sofa.
"Why are you sitting over there?" Tong Xiaohuai had no idea of Yan Bo's good intentions.
Just assume he's upset because he regrets the agreement.
Yan Bo could tell she was displeased, so he gave a wry smile and honestly confessed.
"Xiao Huai, I can't be a Liu Xiahui."
Tong Xiaohuai was stunned for a moment, and after understanding what he meant, all the blood rushed to her face.
Then she remembered his reaction at his house that morning.
"you……"
She blushed and glared at him, then angrily picked up a pillow from the bed and threw it at him.
Although Yan Bo had drunk quite a bit, he still nimbly took the pillow, held it in front of him, rested his chin on the pillow, and stared longingly at Tong Xiaohuai.
The way she blushed was really beautiful and adorable.
Her skin was already fair, and under the light, it appeared even more delicate and flawless, making him want to pounce on her and kiss her face.
But reason told him that once he took that first bite, he wouldn't be able to stop, and then he'd want to take two, three, four bites...
"Xiao Huai, really, I'm a normal man. Sometimes, especially like now, please don't push me to my limits."
These words were a warning to Tong Xiaohuai, and also a warning to himself.
Yan Bo wanted to stay with Tong Xiaohuai forever, so he hoped that all their advances would be based on mutual consent after they had confessed their feelings to each other, rather than on some impulsive physical behavior.
When things between a man and a woman are done out of love, that is what love is.
Acting out of sheer impulse is called fulfilling a need.
Yanbo clearly understands the difference between the two.
Tong Xiaohuai went from being annoyed at first, but eventually calmed down and seriously considered what he had said.
It's not hard to understand that Yanbo did this out of respect for her and for her own good.
After understanding all this, her tone softened considerably. She got up, picked up the cup from the bedside table, walked over, and handed it to him.
"This is hangover tea, drink it."
Yanbo took her hand, pulled the cup to his lips, and drank all the liquid in the cup in one gulp.
Tong Xiaohuai pursed her lips, her tone slightly disdainful, "Look how drunk you are, you didn't even check the temperature. What if it's hot?" As she spoke, she tried to pull her hand back.
Yanbo held onto her hand tightly, leaned down and kissed the back of her hand, then looked up at her with a smile, "You wouldn't bear to burn me!"
