She wasn't one to hide her emotions; when she was angry, she kicked him.
Yan Bo clearly saw everything she was doing, but he didn't dodge or flinch, letting her kick him solidly in the shin.
Tong Xiaohuai was slightly taken aback; she hadn't expected him not to dodge!
After all, when attacked, isn't dodging the attack instinctive?
Why didn't you dodge!
She questioned him sullenly, her eyes blazing with fury.
Although Yan Bo's smile had faded, he showed no signs of anger or displeasure.
"If I dodge, what if you fall and hurt yourself?"
Tong Xiaohuai gritted her teeth and glared at him fiercely.
"I'm not that weak!"
Yan Bo smiled and said, "I know!"
Before Tong Xiaohuai could reply, he added, "I'm not that weak!"
Tong Xiaohuai then realized that, whether in action or words, she seemed to be at a disadvantage all along.
Thinking about it this way, she felt a little discouraged.
"What are you doing here?" she asked irritably.
When Yan Bo heard her question, he gestured for her to wait, then turned around and went back to his car, opened the back door, took out a bag, came back, and handed the bag to her.
These are for you!
Tong Xiaohuai has been receiving flowers and gifts from him these days. Although they are all small gifts, she feels a little embarrassed that it keeps happening.
"I don't want to!"
The saying goes, "One should not accept a reward without merit." She and he weren't even friends, yet she kept accepting his gifts. Wouldn't that make her seem greedy and insatiable?
Besides, her family is wealthy, and she can buy whatever she wants without him having to come all the way to show off.
Yan Bo saw that she didn't even glance at the bag, but just crossed her arms and glared at him angrily. He found it amusing, but dared not laugh out loud.
"Here you go. Aren't you studying business administration? These are some books I read when I was studying abroad. They're quite useful. I even took a lot of notes back then, and they're all in here. Besides the business administration books, there are also two books related to financial management. See if they're useful!"
Tong Xiaohuai was slightly surprised. He had made a special trip to wait for her, just to deliver a few tattered books to her.
This is not scientific!
But thinking about his behavior over this period of time, he does seem to be the kind of person who would do such a foolish thing.
Unable to resist her curiosity, Tong Xiaohuai leaned forward slightly to peek into the bag.
Sure enough, just as he had said, there were several thick books stacked inside, clearly old books that had been read countless times.
So it seems he didn't lie to her?
Tong Xiaohuai curled her lip in disdain, "Why are you sending me all this? I'm going to school, and I'm just getting by anyway. I don't even want to look at my old books, let alone these old ones of yours."
Yan Bo wanted to laugh even more, so he clenched his fist, pressed it to his lips, coughed lightly, and tried his best to keep a straight face.
"Since that's the case, you should accept these books from me. That way, at least in Uncle Tong's eyes, you'll look quite respectable."
Yanbo knew that although her grades weren't exactly outstanding, it was ultimately because she spent too much energy following her father around and didn't have much time to study.
But in fact, she studied harder than many students today.
For example, if she goes to school now and says she's going to study with a "just getting by" attitude, that's just a lie.
If he wasn't mistaken, she either doesn't do things at all, or if she does, she does them seriously and will never live a haphazard life for some self-deceiving reason.
Tong Xiaohuai raised her eyes, silently met his gaze for a few seconds, reached out, and took the bag.
Without even looking inside the bag to see what else was in it besides books, he turned around, opened the car door, and threw the bag into the car.
Just as Yan Bo was about to say something, Tong Xiaohuai turned around, gave him a look as if she were indignant, and then said reluctantly, "Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner."
Yan Bo was overjoyed, but only a faint smile appeared on his face.
"Sure, where should we eat?"
Tong Xiaohuai had already crouched down and sat back in the car, pointing to Tongjia Village, "My home, dare you?"
I dare! How could I not dare! I'd do anything, even go through fire and water, as long as it's your invitation!
Yan Bo replied in his heart, and said aloud, "With you by my side, there's nothing I wouldn't dare to do!"
Tong Xiaohuai was glad that she was already hungry, otherwise, she would have definitely vomited up everything left in her stomach.
Tong Xiaohuai touched the goosebumps on her arm, turned her face away from him, and slowly rolled up the car window.
Yan Bo happily returned to his car, started it, and followed Tong Xiaohuai's car into Tongjia Village.
His hour-long wait seemed well worth it.
Originally, he planned to deliver the book and leave, since his previous attempt to test her had failed, which meant she didn't have any particular feelings for him.
Therefore, she didn't even bother to respond to him.
Unexpectedly, she suddenly invited him to dinner. Perhaps she was driven mad by him?
So, I wanted to treat him to a meal, explain things to him, and perhaps sever ties with him?
It must be said that although Yan Bo has never been in a relationship, he has a very accurate understanding of Tong Xiaohuai's psychology.
That's right. The reason Tong Xiaohuai said she wanted to treat him to a meal was that she didn't want to owe him anything and wanted to use a meal to make up for the gifts he had given her recently.
The two cars stopped one after the other in front of the Tong family mansion, and the two men, each with their own ulterior motives, got out of the cars.
"Your house is really big!"
Yan Bo carried the bag of books he had given to Tong Xiaohuai in one hand and the new books Tong Xiaohuai had received that day in the other, and followed her into the mansion.
Tong Xiaohuai turned her head and glared at him, "You talk as if you're from a slum!"
Judging from his attire and demeanor, his family must be well-off. And thinking back to the expressions on my dad's and Uncle Ming's faces when they talked about him that day, I imagine his family must be very wealthy.
Having been by Tong Laoda's side for so long, Tong Xiaohuai knew very well that there were very few people in L City that her father could be wary of.
However, despite being the third young master of the Yan family, Yan Bo doesn't even own a single room in his own name.
"I do live in a slum. My residence is right next to my office. It's a rented two-bedroom apartment, a rather small unit."
It's not that he doesn't have the money to buy a mansion or villa; it's just that he's still in the startup phase, and he won't squander even a single dollar.
Not only his residence, but also his car, he only bought a mid-range car, as long as the safety performance was acceptable, practicality was the top priority.
However, he didn't want to mention these things to Tong Xiaohuai.
At the very least, given the current state of their relationship, it's not appropriate to discuss these topics.
Tong Xiaohuai paused for a moment, then looked him up and down with a skeptical gaze. Clearly, she didn't believe him.
Would a rich young master like him, who spends tens of thousands on clothes he wears casually, live in a rented apartment?
