However, Yan Bo was still very happy to hear Tong Xiaohuai say such protective words.
But he was drunk, so even if he was happy, he couldn't show it too much.
He could only give a vague "oh," then deliberately moved closer to her, tilting his head to rest it gently on her shoulder.
She had a faint, pleasant fragrance that made him want to bury his head deep in the crook of her neck and fall asleep there.
Of course, he also understood that such thoughts were too extravagant. After all, his relationship with her had only just begun, and out of respect, he should obediently proceed step by step; he was afraid that overly intimate actions would frighten her.
I reckon that passionate French kiss just now must have really frightened her.
Furthermore, he was afraid that he had gone too far, and he was finding it increasingly difficult to get past Boss Tong.
Tong Xiaohuai had no idea what he was thinking, nor did she know that he wasn't really drunk. She just felt sorry for him for drinking so much for his father, so even though his body was very heavy, she couldn't bear to push him away and just let him lean against her.
After he finally finished the hangover tea, I took the cup from his hand, put it on the bedside table, gently helped him lie down again, covered him with the blanket, and sat by the bed for a while.
She bent down and looked at him carefully for a few moments, touched his face, whispered goodnight, and got up to leave.
Yan Bo had been holding it in for a long time, and only when he felt her breath fading away and heard the door slam shut did he dare to open his eyes.
He was the only one left in the room, but whether it was his imagination or not, he felt that the room was filled with Tong Xiaohuai's scent, while he could not smell the alcohol emanating from his own body at all.
He lay in bed, slowly savoring the taste of the stolen kiss. The more he savored it, the more his blood boiled, and his whole body felt like it was about to burst into flames.
Before this, although he had never been in a relationship, he was not an ignorant and naive person; he had some basic physiological knowledge.
Of course, in the past, whenever he encountered such a situation, he could usually resolve it himself.
But tonight, the fire was burning too brightly. He lay on the bed and took deep breaths for a few minutes, trying to calm it down, but to no avail.
Finally, having no other choice, he got out of bed and took a cold shower for nearly half an hour before he managed to suppress his anger.
Fortunately, it was only early autumn, and the weather was only a little cool. Plus, he was in good health, so taking a cold shower wasn't a big deal for him.
After extinguishing the fire in his heart, he lay back in bed, no longer daring to think about his intimate moments with Tong Xiaohuai. He was afraid that his willpower wouldn't be enough, and that all the things he had just done would reignite the fire he had so painstakingly extinguished.
Tong Xiaohuai, who had left, naturally had no idea what happened to Yan Bo in the guest room.
She returned to her room and took a shower. Although she was worried about him, she was too embarrassed to go to the guest room to see him. She tossed and turned in bed for a while, when she heard a knock on the door.
"Xiao Huai, are you asleep?" It was Mom's voice.
Tong Xiaohuai quickly got up and opened the door. "Mom, why aren't you asleep yet? Aren't you tired?"
Tong's mother led her in by the hand and then closed the door behind her.
"Mom will sleep with you tonight, okay?"
Before Tong's mother went abroad, the mother and daughter would occasionally sleep together and whisper secrets.
"I don't mind, but would Dad agree?"
Tong Xiaohuai also wanted to hear her mother's stories about what she had seen and heard recently, but she was afraid of being scolded by her father.
"You silly girl, your dad and I have been married for ages, what's there to be unwilling about? It's not like you and Xiao Yan are in the honeymoon phase."
Tong's mother pulled her to the bedside, not forgetting to tease her about being forcibly kissed by Yan Bo earlier.
"Mom, are you making fun of me too?"
Tong Xiaohuai snuggled against her mother a few times. After being apart for a while, she really missed her mother.
"I'm not making fun of you, Mom is happy for you."
The mother and daughter climbed into bed, dimmed the bedside lamp, and then lay down facing each other.
"Xiao Huai, to be honest, Xiao Yan is a really good person. He's much more reliable than those young men from the Tong family!"
Tong Xiaohuai blushed slightly. Fortunately, the lighting was too dim, and her mother probably couldn't see her clearly either.
"Mom, if Dad heard you say that, he would definitely feel very uncomfortable." Tong Xiaohuai said with a smile.
"What's wrong with you? He himself admitted that the young men in Tongjia Village are all rude and uncouth, and few of them are respectable. Otherwise, he wouldn't have insisted on handing over the burden of the Tong family to you."
Even now, Tong's mother was still indignant that Tong's eldest son had insisted on entrusting the affairs to his daughter.
"Mom, I'm Dad's only daughter, so it's only natural for me to take over the Tong family business. Please don't blame Dad for this anymore. Besides, I'm doing just fine the way I am now, aren't I?"
Tong's mother sighed, "Forget it, since there's no turning back now, let's not let this hurt our feelings anymore."
Tong Xiaohuai then steered the conversation back to Yan Bo, "Mom, does Dad have any complaints or opinions about Yan Bo?"
After all, she also wanted to know what her parents really thought of Yanbo.
"He admires and likes Xiao Yan, but he's also extremely jealous, so they're currently sulking!"
Tong's mother didn't say that she came to sleep with her daughter because she couldn't stand Tong's eldest son's strange and irritable behavior when he threw a tantrum.
Tong Xiaohuai was a little confused. "Jealous? Dad is jealous of Yanbo? That's really strange. My dad is known as Boss Tong, who's fearless and thinks he's the best in the world!"
Tong's mother chuckled at her daughter's words, and after laughing for a while, she said, "Of course he's jealous! Think about it, you're his precious daughter. In the past ten years or so, apart from being a bit strict with you during training, he's been incredibly good to you. So, he also wants to be the most precious man to you. Now that Xiao Yan has suddenly appeared, you don't know, but from this afternoon until just now, your eyes have been fixed on Xiao Yan. It's no wonder your dad is jealous."
puff!
Tong Xiaohuai then realized that all of her father's strange and outrageous behavior today was because of jealousy!
She was still worried that her father might have some dissatisfaction or dislike with Yanbo.
After all that fuss, it turns out that he was just too satisfied and couldn't find any fault with it, which is why he was acting so awkwardly and strangely, letting Yanbo get drunk by his men.
"Mom, now that you mention it, I realize that Dad was acting like a little kid tonight!"
