Chapter 1023: Chapter 1020: Want to Take Advantage of You for a Lifetime
The two spent the better part of the day at the flower market, not only placing orders for the flowers and New Year’s Oranges for the Tong Family’s shops and Yanhuang Company but also purchasing all the flowers that would decorate the Tong Family Mansion for the Spring Festival in one go.
Then, with Yan Bo’s authorization, she bought some plants to put in Yan Bo’s residence.
"Why not have them delivered right now?"
At each shop, Tong Xiaohua arranged for the Boss to deliver the goods three or four days before the Spring Festival, and Yan Bo couldn’t help but find it strange.
"These plants need special care. If they’re delivered now, they’ll wither before the Spring Festival."
Yan Bo felt like he had learned something, "Luckily you’re here, otherwise I would have definitely just had them delivered to the Company. By the way, how do you know all this?"
"These tasks used to be handled by my mom. When I was little and playful, I always pestered her to come with her. While she was picking New Year’s Oranges, I’d be sneaking some from the Boss’ oranges to eat."
What Tong Xiaohua didn’t say was that at first, she followed her mother here out of a playful curiosity, but later on, as her mother’s health deteriorated, she voluntarily took on the responsibility. Otherwise, with the Tong Family elders’ curt nature, they wouldn’t pay attention to such delicate details.
"My mom said, be it running a business or upkeeping a household, the beginning of the year is the most important. Therefore, it’s essential to display red flowers and New Year’s Oranges, symbolizing prosperity and good fortune throughout the year."
As someone born into a governmental household, Yan Bo truly never heard such things before.
If it had been in the past, he probably would have dismissed these customs.
But now, he respected Tong Xiaohua’s mother as one of his own elders, thus her ideas were ones he would honor too.
Moreover, they say when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Miss Guo from L City, being a local, also made the same suggestion, which gave him even more reason not to oppose these customs.
"From now on, can you also take charge of these arrangements for my place at Yanhuang, okay?"
Yan Bo earnestly requested Tong Xiaohua’s help, and she nodded seriously, accepting the responsibility.
"Sure, we can just buy them together."
Tong Xiaohua only knew to herself that her dad already saw Yan Bo like a son, and she too had started to consider Yan Bo as one of her own.
Pleased with her prompt agreement, Yan Bo led her out of the flower market to Mingxuan for lunch.
Since the food was very much to her liking, Tong Xiaohua ended up eating a little too much. They had planned to watch a movie after lunch, but she had to change her plans at the last minute and decided to go shopping at the Commercial City across the street.
At first, neither had the intention to buy anything, but soon after, Tong Xiaohua, who was holding onto Yan Bo’s arm, pulled at him, reluctant to move on.
"Yan Bo, do you think that Scarf looks good?"
Yan Bo followed her pointed gaze and saw that in the display window, a male and a female Model each wore a black and white checkered Scarf, complementing the grey Coats, and indeed, it looked quite nice.
"Hmm, not bad!"
Tong Xiaohua immediately pulled him into the store and said to the approaching sales associate, "Excuse me, could you bring me those two Scarves to look at?"
Yan Bo glanced at her with a teasing smile, "Are you planning for us to wear matching Scarves?"
Tong Xiaohua, caught out, glared at him pretending to be angry, "What, you don’t want to?"
Yan Bo leaned closer to her ear and whispered softly, "Of course I do, not just Scarves, I’m willing to wear anything that comes in pairs with you. Is there anything else?"
Tong Xiaohua laughed and punched him playfully, "Get lost, you’re thinking too much!"
As they bantered, the sales associate brought over the Scarves.
Yan Bo took the Scarf and gently wrapped it around Tong Xiaohua’s neck, "Is it warm?"
As he asked, he leaned in for a light kiss on her lips.
"Yeah, it’s very soft and warm."
Saying this, she took the remaining Scarf from his hand, tiptoed up, and looped the Scarf around his neck.
Her hand wrapped around the back of his neck, her head tilted as she looked into his eyes and asked him softly.
"My mom says that giving someone a scarf means you’ve got them wrapped around your finger, you don’t mind?"
Yan Bo lowered his head, pressing his forehead against hers, and looked straight into her eyes.
"Baby, did you forget that I was the one who wrapped you up first?"
Only then did Tong Xiaohua remember that indeed, it was he who had put the scarf on her first.
"Did you do that on purpose? You figured out what I was planning all along, didn’t you?"
Tong Xiaohua was slightly annoyed, why was it that every time she wanted to do something, he could see right through her so easily?
Yan Bo placed his hands on her waist, "Such a pretty and silly baby, if I didn’t wrap you up early on, what would I do if someone else took you away?"
Tong Xiaohua glared at him angrily, her hands tightened the scarf around his neck, and Yan Bo cooperated by sticking out his tongue, pretending to be choked to death. Only then was Tong Xiaohua satisfied, she loosened her grip and pulled him in front of a mirror with pride to look at their reflection.
"Hmm... they match quite well, don’t they?"
The self-satisfied look on Tong Xiaohua’s face made Yan Bo burst into laughter.
He raised his hand, gesturing to a salesperson, "Bring me those two coats as well to take a look."
"Sure, what size does the gentleman need?"
Yan Bo reported his and Tong Xiaohua’s sizes, and the salesperson turned to get the coats.
"How do you know my size?"
Yan Bo wrapped his arms around her waist, smiling, "I’ve measured with my hands!"
Tong Xiaohua lifted her foot and gave him a light kick, "Pervert!"
Yan Bo didn’t argue but raised an eyebrow and looked at the pair in the mirror, "Greetings, Mrs. Pervert!"
Tong Xiaohua burst out laughing, "You really do want to take every little advantage, don’t you!"
"Of course, I want to take advantage of anything that’s yours!"
As he spoke, Yan Bo bent down to kiss her, quite domineeringly saying, "And moreover, I intend to for a lifetime!"
Tong Xiaohua, teased to the point of being speechless, pushed him away and went off to look at other clothes by herself.
Yan Bo followed, smiling, as if afraid she’d lose her temper, he just trailed behind her slowly.
The salesperson brought the coats from the storage, "Sir, here are the coats you asked for."
Yan Bo took them and quickly walked over to Tong Xiaohua, "Baby, want me to help you put it on?"
Tong Xiaohua snatched the coat away, "No need, I have hands."
Yan Bo didn’t insist but stood in front of her, not moving.
Tong Xiaohua glared at him, "Why are you staring at me? Aren’t you going to try it on yourself?"
Yan Bo shook his head, "You first!"
His thought was, as long as she looked good in it, they’d buy it, and if she didn’t look good, there was no need for him to try it on either.
Tong Xiaohua cast him a curious glance, and for once, she guessed what he was thinking.
"Don’t worry, they all say I’m the perfect model, anything looks good on me!"
And true to her word, as Tong Xiaohua put on the coat, it accentuated her curves so much better than the model in the store window.
