Chapter 1007: Chapter 1004: Taking the Boyfriend to the Exhibition

Neither Tong Xiaohua nor Yan Bo had deliberately mentioned Yan Bo’s recent disappearance or what role Yan Zhong had played in it.

Yan Bo didn’t bring it up, not wanting to add more distance to Tong Xiaohua’s heart.

Tong Xiaohua didn’t bring it up, not wanting to make Yan Bo sad.

The two spent an afternoon sleeping in Tong Xiaohua’s bedroom, had dinner, and then Yan Bo returned to Yanhuang Company to deal with the backlog of work that had accumulated over nearly ten days.

Tong Xiaohua, forced by Qin Ming and Uncle Du who had rushed back from the Capital City, stayed at home for recuperation and could only hug her university notebooks and review at home because her final exams were just a few days away.

She hadn’t attended classes these past few days, and Zeng Xianghai and Xiao Mi had taken turns getting all her course notes, which she had just had the driver pick up from the school today, and it was their notes she was studying now.

As she flipped through a few pages, a slip of paper fluttered out of the notebook.

Tong Xiaohua bent down to pick up the note, "No matter when or where, I am always behind you."

Although there was no signature, Tong Xiaohua knew that the note was left by Zeng Xianghai.

Tong Xiaohua frowned and stared at the note for a while before she tucked it back into the notebook.

Ever since she had outright rejected Zeng Xianghai at the beginning, Tong Xiaohua had not been troubled by him again.

She thought that her words had made things clear and he would understand that there was no chance between them.

Little did she know, he still harbored hope in his heart.

Afterward, Tong Xiaohua found herself unable to calm down and focus on her notes.

She picked up her mobile phone and dialed Yan Bo’s phone number.

"Baby, missing me already?" Yan Bo’s gentle voice came through, and it was clear he was in a good mood.

"Not at all! Do you have time tomorrow night to have dinner with me?"

Yan Bo did not immediately reply to her, instead he inquired about tomorrow’s schedule on his end, then responded, "I can do that, seven o’clock, is that too late?"

"Not late. I want to introduce a few schoolmates to you, can you make it?"

Without a second thought, Yan Bo replied, "This is like giving me an official seal of approval, of course I can!"

Tong Xiaohua ended the call with a smile on her lips, then sent a message to Xiao Mi and Zeng Xianghai, inviting them to dinner tomorrow night as a thank you for copying notes for her these past days.

Zeng Xianghai quickly replied, "Okay, Xiao Mi and I will wait for you at South Gate."

Xiao Mi’s response was slower, and it was only after Tong Xiaohua had poured herself a glass of water and returned that she saw it.

"Xiao Hua, has your mood been better these last couple of days?"

"Very good! Why do you ask?"

Tong Xiaohua had not mentioned to Xiao Mi about her boyfriend disappearing, but she had been absent from school for over ten days, and during that time, Xiao Mi had called her several times, probably sensing her subdued mood from her tone.

"Did you have a fight with your handsome boyfriend before? You seemed almost on the verge of breakdown the other day."

"No such thing. Tomorrow you’ll see whether we had a fight or not." Tong Xiaohua’s lips curled slightly upward.

"Oh, looks like you’re planning to introduce your handsome boyfriend to us tomorrow?"

"Yep, tomorrow at seven, we will come to pick you up!"

Before this, Tong Xiaohua had never thought about introducing Yan Bo to Xiao Mi and Zeng Xianghai, because although Yan Bo was not a local, he had nevertheless become a new elite among the younger generation in L City over the past half year.

Not long ago, he was interviewed by the L City TV station as the president of the Yanhuang Company, and he also appeared in the Financial Newspaper twice. She wasn’t sure whether Xiao Mi and Zeng Xianghai had seen the related reports.

If so, introducing Yan Bo to them would carry a hint of showing off.

On the other hand, she didn’t want to cause any trouble for Yan Bo because of her friends.

But now, to completely discourage Zeng Xianghai, she had to drag Yan Bo out for a show.

The next afternoon, Tong Xiaohua, who had just had her confinement lifted, took her driver’s car and met Yan Bo halfway.

The car stopped at the agreed intersection, and while Yan Bo’s car hadn’t arrived yet, Tong Xiaohua saw a small shop by the road selling ice cream. Suddenly craving it, she got out and stood in line behind a group of middle school students.

Actually, she rarely craved like this in the past, but since meeting and dating Yan Bo, she had been gradually becoming a foodie.

From a distance, Yan Bo saw the car Tong Xiaohua usually rode parked by the road, so he changed lanes and drove towards her car.

After parking his car, he saw at the entrance of the ice cream shop a tall figure who stood out like a crane among chickens among a bunch of little girls in school uniforms.

This tall "crane," wearing a white sweater, a black leather jacket, black jeans, and brown Martin boots, looked so stylish that passersby turned their heads.

Yan Bo recognized her at once—it was his beloved girlfriend, Tong Xiaohua. He quickly got out of his car and jogged over, placing a hand on her shoulder.

To prevent the men on the sidewalk, who deliberately slowed their pace with lascivious glances darting back and forth at her.

Tong Xiaohua was checking the flow of customers ahead when she suddenly felt a hand on her shoulder and instinctively lifted her elbow to hit to the side.

"Ouch, are you trying to murder your own husband?" A familiar voice cried next to her ear.

Tong Xiaohua turned her head, surprised to see the person next to her.

"You came? So early?"

They had agreed to meet at six, and it was only five fifty, so the bored Tong Xiaohua thought of getting an ice cream to satisfy her craving before Yan Bo arrived.

She had just recovered from a serious illness, and Yan Bo might not let her eat cold food.

"Yes, if I hadn’t come early, I wouldn’t have caught this glutton sneaking food!"

After saying that, Yan Bo exerted force on his arm, trying to pull her out of the line.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Tong Xiaohua, acting like a stubborn child, squatted down, unwilling to leave. She was almost drooling with craving, and just when it was almost her turn, how could she let him drag her away?

Yan Bo, both amused and exasperated, touched her cold face blown by the wind, and spoke sternly to her.

"Be good, you’ve just recovered from an illness, you can’t eat cold things."

Tong Xiaohua simply squatted down, looked up at him, and whined, "No! I want it now!"

Her childish demeanor was even more unreasonable than a little child.

The little girls and boys around them, seeing their antics, covered their mouths and giggled.

"Ancestor, I give up. Can’t you wait until you’ve fully recovered? Look, all these younger brothers and sisters are laughing at you!"

Yan Bo softened his voice, crouched down, and coaxed her softly.

"No, I want it now!" Tong Xiaohua’s face was beyond caring anymore.
