"Yes, you really shouldn't have made things difficult for me. The timeframe I gave you wasn't long, just 30,000 days."
Tong Xiaohuai was stunned for a moment. She thought that if he really wanted to coax her, he would probably say it for a lifetime.
But he said, "Only 30,000 days."
Thirty thousand days, how much is that?
Tong Xiaohuai quickly mobilized his brain cells and did a quick calculation: 30,000 days is approximately equal to 82 years.
She is eighteen years old this year, and with eighty-two years added, she will be exactly one hundred years old.
My mood, which had just been extremely depressed, instantly lifted because of this answer.
But she was too embarrassed to show too much joy or anticipation, so she just pursed her lips and said disdainfully, "Only 30,000 days? I thought it was forever!"
Yan Bo lowered his head and gently touched the corner of her eye, his voice as warm as a gentle breeze brushing past her ear.
"I'm not greedy, I don't ask for eternity, I only ask to cherish you and pamper you in this life, and to love you without any regrets!"
Tong Xiaohuai's eyes turned red without warning!
An empty promise of eternal life is nothing compared to his words, "to love without regrets in this life."
How lucky she is to have met someone who truly understands love.
His warm tongue gently swept away the moisture from the corners of her eyes, while his hand on her waist caressed her tenderly.
"Xiao Huai, whatever you want, I will give it to you, except for a future in which I am not involved."
Tong Xiaohuai didn't say anything, but simply stretched out her hands and tightly wrapped them around his back.
A gentle breeze blew, and sunlight streamed down from the orange tree, casting a golden glow that flowed softly over the two of them.
Time seemed to stand still. In this mountain field filled with the fragrance of oranges, the two people, tightly embracing each other, could only hear each other's heartbeats.
After a long while, Tong Xiaohuai reluctantly lifted her head from his warm embrace. Her misty eyes swept over his handsome face, and then she licked her lips, as if she had made up her mind, and said fiercely.
"Yanbo, remember what I said today. If my future doesn't include you, I will never let you go!"
Tong Xiaohuai's words, seemingly a warning, were in fact a disguised promise.
"Please don't let me go!" Yan Bo chuckled, his burning lips sealing hers tightly.
...
After catching up with Zhang Chengzhi in the reception room, Tong Laoda, Shen Weiyao, and Zhang Chengzhi led the two of them out to the courtyard.
What was once a barren wilderness has been transformed by skilled craftsmen into the picturesque scene of flowing streams, lush green waters, and lotus blossoms.
The three walked across the bridge, their hands tracing the intricate carvings, and Shen Weiyao couldn't help but admire them.
"Such a beautiful place, like a fairyland! Xiao Zhang, I never knew you were such a refined person."
Tong Laoda punched Zhang Chengzhi on the shoulder. "You're something else! You hid in the mountains for years and didn't become a savage, but you actually became a refined gentleman! I, your elder brother, have been cultivating with your sister-in-law my whole life, but I'm still just a clueless brute!"
Zhang Chengzhi turned to look at him, then at Shen Weiyao.
"Boss, you and your wife are a perfect match. As for me, I'm all alone and can only admire myself."
In truth, whether something is vulgar or elegant, it ultimately cannot compare to two people loving each other and supporting each other.
The three chatted and laughed as they walked around most of the garden. Fearing that Shen Weiyao might not be able to handle it, Boss Tong suggested that they go back to the villa.
I thought that the two young people who said they were going to pick oranges and star fruit would lose interest and return to their rooms soon.
Little did they know that apart from a few bodyguards packing luggage and the kitchen that Yan Bo had borrowed from Ling Qingyun being busy in the guest room, there was no sign of the couple in love.
"Won't he get lost?" Zhang Chengzhi was a little worried because he had just seen the young man who led the two people to the orchard at the front desk. When he asked, the young man said that the two people had sent him back.
Zhang Chengzhi didn't know Yan Bo well, which is why he made such a ridiculous guess.
"Don't worry, they won't get lost. They probably just want to have fun, so they're staying a little longer. You should be prepared that they'll eat and pick most of the oranges and star fruit in your orchard."
Clearly, Boss Tong was joking.
As for why he was so confident that the two of them wouldn't get lost, it was because of Yanbo.
Yan Bo had participated in live-fire exercises in the primeval jungle. In his eyes, this mountain wilderness was just like a flat road. How could he possibly get lost?
Finally, the young couple, who couldn't possibly get lost, returned to the villa right at midnight.
Zhang Chengzhi arranged for them to stay in a detached villa with three bedrooms, two living rooms, and a courtyard. When Tong Xiaohuai and Yan Bo returned to the villa hand in hand, Tong Laoda and Shen Weiyao were sitting on the cushions on the terrace enjoying tea. When they saw them return, they got up and went back to the living room.
A rich aroma wafted from the kitchen, indicating that the chef they borrowed from Ling Qingyun was indeed quite capable.
Sure enough, as soon as she entered the house, Tong Xiaohuai happily called out.
"Wow, it smells so good, can we eat it now?"
At this moment, Tong Xiaohuai finally remembered the several large bags of ingredients that she and Yan Bo had purchased. She sniffed, and the rich aroma vividly entered her nostrils. She couldn't help but lick her lips again.
Yan Bo looked at her with a smile, and finally, he couldn't help but burst out laughing at her fussing, which resembled that of a starving puppy.
Tong Xiaohuai glared at him, about to curse him out, when her stomach rumbled inappropriately.
Yan Bo handed the bodyguard a basket full of oranges and starfruit, and nudged her toward the washroom.
"Go on, go wash your face, and you can eat when you come out."
Tong Xiaohuai ran off happily like a child, returning from the terrace to Shen Weiyao inside the house, smiling at Yan Bo.
"Look how much you spoil her, she's like a child."
Yan Bo watched her retreating figure, "She was just a child after all..."
Not only could she feel at ease being a child in front of her parents, but he was also willing to always pamper, cherish, and protect her like a child.
Shen Weiyao exchanged a glance with Tong Laoda, who was speechless, and then said meaningfully to Yan Bo.
"Xiao Yan, I hope you can always treat her like a child."
Yan Bo nodded very solemnly, "Aunt Tong, I will!"
Although Shen Weiyao had privately discussed the roles that lovers should play in a relationship, deep down she still hoped that her daughter would receive more love and attention, rather than being the one who gives more.
Call her selfish or overprotective, it may or may not.
"Mom, what unequal treaty did you secretly ask Yanbo to agree to this time?"
Unexpectedly, while she, as a mother, was racking her brains to seek benefits and welfare for her daughter, the daughter, unknowingly, turned her back on her lover.
