Cutie Delivered, Please Sign for it-Chapter 1031 - 1028: Just One Glance and I Can See You
Yan Bo had thrown his lot in with his elder brother and, in a fit of pique, had gone so far as to block his brotherβs number as well. ππ«πππ¨ππ―ππ πππ.ππΌπ
Tong Xiaohua did not know that Yan Bo had blocked his family until several days later when she received a call from Yan Yuan.
Tong Xiaohua hesitated for a while as she looked at the unfamiliar number on the phone, only answering just before the line was about to disconnect.
"Xiao Hua, itβs Yan elder brother!" the person on the other end of the line introduced himself quite politely.
"Yan elder brother, hello!" Besides a greeting, Tong Xiaohua was at a loss for what else to say for a moment.
"Has Xiao Bo been well these past few days?"
Tong Xiaohua was confused. If her brother was well or not, why didnβt he ask the person himself instead of going through her? Could it be that this was a new trick the Yan Family had come up with?
Tong Xiaohua grew cautious, carefully responding with, "Heβs very well..."
As for the other doubts, she diligently concealed them all within her heart, not daring to show a hint of them.
Although she had met Yan Yuan only two or three times, he had always indicated that he would remain neutral regarding her relationship with Yan Boβneither supporting nor opposing it.
But could this neutral stance persist?
In Tong Xiaohuaβs view, not necessarily!
Firstly, from the perspective of the balance of affection, on one side of the scale were Yanβs father and mother, and on the other side was Yan Bo alone.
Moreover, regarding interests, from the viewpoint of Yanβs father and motherβs opposition to her, Yan Yuan had reasons to oppose as well, especially since he was currently at an opportune time to rise in the ranks.
"Did he mention to you about going home a few days ago?"
Tong Xiaohua became even more cautious, "Hmm, he mentioned it briefly, but weβve both been busy these days and havenβt met, so Iβm not very clear on the details."
"So, you also donβt know that he blocked my parents and me?" Yan Yuan asked with a tone full of doubt.
Tong Xiaohua was taken aback; she truly did not know about this!
"What, he blocked uncle and auntieβs numbers as well as yours? Why?"
As soon as Tong Xiaohua asked why, she immediately regretted it.
Was there even a need to ask why? It was definitely because of her!
Fortunately, it seemed that Yan Yuan still held a neutral stance for now and was still very polite to her.
"As to why Xiao Bo blocked us, youβd better ask him yourself. Itβs not appropriate for me to relay the details. I understand that things arenβt easy for you two, but I hope you can also appreciate that parents have their good intentions in mind."
Yan Yuan left it at that, said his polite goodbyes, and hung up the phone.
Tong Xiaohua was still sitting in the classroom preparing for her exam; after hanging up the phone, she stared at it blankly for a good while.
"Yan Bo, are you free tonight? Letβs have dinner together!"
Yan Boβs reply came quickly, "Okay, what do you want to eat? At home or go out?"
Tong Xiaohua thought for a moment, sent a time and place, and then turned off her phone to prepare for her exam.
When she finished her exam and turned on her phone, she saw a message from Yan Bo.
"Call me after your exam, Iβll come to pick you up."
Tong Xiaohua did not reply, but directly dialed his number.
"Xiao Hua, are you done with your exam?"
"Yeah, itβs after five now, no need for you to make a round trip and waste time; just meet me at the restaurant."
Tong Xiaohua packed her stationery while chatting with him.
"I just got here on business and will be at L University in five minutes. Which academic building are you at? Wait for me in front of the building!"
Ten minutes later, a black car pulled up beside Tong Xiaohua, she looked up and saw Yan Bo get out of the car.
"Didnβt I ask you to wait in front of the building? Itβs so windy here, you must be cold!"
Yan Bo took her backpack with one hand and took her hand with the other, rubbing it vigorously a few times.
"Sitting here is conspicuous, so itβs easy for you to find me."
Yan Bo led her to the co-pilot side, opened the car door, and helped her get in.
"How hard is it for me to find you? You stand out in a crowd, I can spot you with just a glance!"
The level of Yan Boβs sweet talk was getting higher and higher.
No matter how often she heard such sweet nothings, Tong Xiaohua still had no immunity to them.
Her cheeks heated as she lowered her head, and she pecked on Yan Boβs face as he leaned in to help her buckle her seat belt, "Yan the third Young Master, your flirting skills are getting better and better!"
Yan Bo looked up with a smile, leaning in close, and pecked on her lips.
"Did my words make your heart flutter? Do you think Iβm getting handsomer day by day?"
Tong Xiaohua covered his eyes with her hand. This manβs eyes and mouth were truly poisonous!
Just hearing his sweet talk, or being affectionately gazed at by him, made her feel weak, as if she had been poisoned.
"What, youβre not letting me see?"
After buckling her seat belt, Yan Bo pulled away her hand, still smiling as he stared at her. However, his face kept getting closer and, before she could dodge, he caught her lip with his own, gently nibbling it.
Before Tong Xiaohua could reproach him, the man had already buried his face in her neck, inhaling deeply, and murmured in a low voice, "Ah, I missed you to death!"
Tong Xiaohua paused, her hand came up hesitantly, and at last rested on the back of his head, gently rubbing it.
She and Yan Bo indeed hadnβt met for several days, but they still talked on the phone and texted every night.
If it hadnβt been for Yan Yuanβs phone call, Tong Xiaohua wouldnβt have known the turmoil Yan Bo was going through these days.
The more she thought about it, the more heartache she felt for him. Unable to hold back, she lowered her head and gently rubbed her lips against the ends of his hair.
"If itβs hard on you, you can move into my place. That way, no matter how late, we could at least see each other."
As soon as the words were out, Tong Xiaohua hurried to explain, worried that Yan Bo might misunderstand, "Of course, what I mean is just for you to stay in the guest room, not in the same way as my dad."
Yan Bo lifted his head from her neck, kissed her again, and touched her face.
"Silly, I know what you mean. Iβll consider your suggestion. However, the company has been really busy lately. Staying near the company makes it convenient to deal with work."
Tong Xiaohua didnβt press, patting his shoulder, "Hmm, you think about it. In any case, the door to my house is always open to you! Youβre welcome anytime, my parents wonβt mind."
About that, Yan Bo didnβt really worry.
Because he could feel that both Tong Xiaohuaβs mother and her father practically already considered him as one of the family. Even if he went to the Tong Family every day for food and lodging, they wouldnβt have any objections.
"I know that! Weβll see how things go later."
Yan Bo let go of Tong Xiaohua, closed the car door, walked around the front of the car back to the driverβs seat, and got in.
"Oh, I can take a week off during the Spring Festival holiday to spend with you all. Go back and ask your parents if thereβs anywhere they want to go; Iβll accompany you on a trip!"
If she hadnβt received a call from Yan Yuan, Tong Xiaohua would not have thought twice about it. But hearing Yan Bo say this, she realized right away that he really had a falling out with his family!
