Yan Bo didn't know what to say to comfort him, after all, this was all in the past.
Besides, I unintentionally reopened someone else's wounds, so no matter how I try to comfort them, it will seem pretentious.
"Then, with my third girlfriend, or rather, before we officially became a couple, I mentioned to her that my parents would probably do this, and asked her if she was confident she could face it with me. And guess what she said?"
Di Xu's face was full of mockery; clearly, it wasn't a good answer.
Yan Bo shook his head, then heard Di Xu say, "She directly called my parents perverts and disgusting!"
Yan Bo was speechless. What kind of constitution did Di Xu have? How come he encountered three women in a row who were all from the same series?
He had only heard that there was an assembly line for plastic surgery. Could it be that even the structure of the brain and personality traits are produced on an assembly line?
"Di Xu, you just haven't met the right person yet."
Di Xu smiled wryly, "You don't need to comfort me. I've already let go of it. As for matters of the heart, let fate decide."
"As for you, you should cherish the fact that you have met someone like my junior sister who is willing to go through thick and thin with you. To be honest, there aren't many girls like her anymore."
Yan Bo nodded. "I know, I will treat her well."
Tong Xiaohuai didn't know that Yanbo's mother was sick, but she was worried that Yanbo was too busy lately and might get sick from it.
But she was busy herself and didn't have time to send him any care or warmth. So she asked Uncle Guan to cook a pot of turtle soup and asked Uncle Yuan to arrange for a driver to deliver it to him.
Yan Bo finished his work and was about to return to his residence to eat when Miss Guo called on the intercom, "Boss, there's a driver outside who says he's Tong Xiaohuai's driver, bringing you something."
Yan Bo was somewhat surprised. "I'll go out now. Tell him to wait for me."
After taking the keys and coat, I went outside and saw that it was indeed one of the Tong family's drivers.
"Third Young Master, Miss asked Master Guan to make some soup and asked me to bring it over to you."
Yan Bo accepted the soup bowl, exchanged a few polite words, and then the driver took his leave.
"Tsk tsk, the proprietress is so kind. Knowing you work hard, she specially sent someone to make soup and bring it over. I'm so envious."
After Miss Guo finished speaking, Di Xu, who had just come out to go back to his residence with him for lunch, nudged his hand and said, "Boss, you've really struck gold!"
A happy smile unconsciously appeared on Yan Bo's face. "Yeah, I'm so envious of you guys!"
He and Di Xu carried the soup bowls back to their residence. Aunt Xin had just set out the meal and turned to look at them when she saw them making their way.
"Mr. Yan, Mr. Di, dinner is ready."
"Aunt Xin, bring two soup bowls over."
Although Yanbo really wanted to eat it all by himself, Di Xu had been staying up late and working overtime with him a lot lately, so he should at least get a small portion of the soup.
"Mr. Yan, did you buy the soup outside? Just tell me what you'd like to drink, and I'll buy the ingredients and make it."
Aunt Xin seemed to feel very guilty, after all, cooking and making soup were her job.
"Aunt Xin, this isn't takeout; Xiao Huai had it delivered. I'd like some soup; I'll let you know later."
Yanbo is from the north, and he's not particularly fond of slow-cooked soups.
Aunt Xin breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly took out two soup bowls from the kitchen, serving one to Yan Bo and one to Di Xu.
As soon as the soup was poured out, its rich aroma filled the dining room.
"What kind of soup is this? It smells so good." Di Xu first picked up the bowl and took a sip.
Aunt Xin scooped up some ingredients with a spoon, "It's soft-shelled turtle, yam, and goji berry soup..."
Even though Yan Bo didn't drink soup often, he knew that soft-shelled turtle was good for your health. And Di Xu, being from the south, knew this even better.
"Hehe, boss, is your junior sister trying to hint at something by making you turtle soup?" Di Xu looked at Yan Bo with a meaningful expression.
Yan Bo glanced at him and said, "Fine, then you don't need to drink anymore!"
Di Xu panicked and leaned to the side to protect Tang.
"Why?"
"Aren't you afraid this soup implies something? If you're afraid, then don't drink it. Don't waste my good stuff."
Di Xu glared at Yan Bo, as if afraid that Yan Bo would really take the soup back, and picked up the soup bowl and gulped down the rest of the soup in one go.
After finishing the soup, Di Xu started acting recklessly again.
"Hey, boss, are you really not impotent?"
Yan Bo glared at him, "So, from what you're saying, you're impotent?"
Di Xu shook his head shamelessly, "How would I know? I don't have a girlfriend. To me, this soup is just a delicious soup, a nourishing soup. But you're different."
Yan Bo glared at him again, "I'm not as beastly as you, making such a big deal out of a bowl of soup."
Di Xu rested his chin on his hand and stared at Yan Bo for a long while.
At first, he watched very seriously, but later, a faint, ambiguous smile appeared on his face.
“Hey, I was saying…”
This time, Yan Bo didn't even bother to look at him before getting up and serving himself another half bowl of soup.
Di Xu didn't need Yan Bo to give him a preamble; his smile grew even brighter. "Hey boss, you haven't had your first taste of sex yet, have you?"
Yan Bo still didn't look at him, and gave a faint snort, "What's it to you?"
After saying that, he sat down and savored the soup in his bowl.
Di Xu grinned like a sly fox, "Hehe, so our boss is still a virgin! That's rare!"
Yan Bo finally raised his head, his face and tone completely calm.
"So what if I'm a virgin? Have you forgotten? I'm only twenty. Assistant Di, how old were you when you lost your virginity? Eighteen?"
Di Xu paused for a moment, then smiled awkwardly. He quickly picked up his bowl and chopsticks, pointed to the dishes on the table, and said, "Eat, eat. The food should be eaten while it's hot. Don't waste Aunt Xin's hard work."
Yan Bo smiled and said, "Yeah, remember to eat more. Starting tomorrow, you'll be ordering takeout. That way, you won't keep doubting whether I'm good enough or not, and you won't keep worrying about whether I'm a virgin!"
Di Xu cried out, "Boss, please! I was just joking. Please forgive me, don't hold a grudge!"
As he spoke, he pretended to slap himself twice.
Yan Bo ignored him and continued eating.
After finishing his meal, Yan Bo took a nap at home. When he returned to his bedroom, he made a phone call to Tong Xiaohuai.
"Xiao Huai, the soup is delicious. Did you ask the driver to send you a portion?"
Yan Bo knew that Tong Xiaohuai had also been working very hard these past few days. He worked overtime at night, and Tong Xiaohuai mostly patrolled the various business locations.
"Yes, Uncle Yuan had the driver deliver them to both sides. I still won't be able to have dinner with you tonight, so please remember to eat on time."
Yan Bo felt a warm glow in his heart, and then he couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
“Silly girl, my place is right next door. Even if I forget to eat, Aunt Xin will remind me. But you, you’ve been running around these days. Besides remembering to eat on time, you also need to wear enough clothes so you don’t catch a cold.”
