Chapter 1029: Chapter 1026: Try a Different Method

New Year’s Day holiday originally had three days, and on the afternoon of the third day, Yan Bo flew back to the Capital City alone.

He didn’t mention his return to Old Tong, but he told Tong Xiaohua.

However, he did not mention the purpose of his return, and Tong Xiaohua didn’t ask either.

After all, he is a child of the Yan Family, and it is quite normal for him to visit his parents and siblings during the holidays, even if there is no specific reason.

Yan Bo did not inform his parents of his homecoming in advance either.

Since his father’s scheme led to a week of lost contact with the outside world, the relationship with his father had become increasingly strained.

Thus, he was a bit afraid, afraid that if he called home while his father was still angered, his father would directly tell him not to come back.

When he took a taxi back to the courtyard gate, the door guard was quite surprised to see him.

"Young Master Yan, why have you come back?"

Yan Bo nodded at him, "Yeah, I happened to have a vacation, so I came back to see my mom and dad."

All three children of the Yan Family were extremely accomplished and spent most of their time working abroad, so it was rare for any of them to return.

Most of the time, they would announce their visit in advance so that the family could prepare their favorite food and commodities.

"Then I’d better tell Uncle Cui to check if the chef has started cooking."

Saying so, the door guard picked up the phone.

Yan Bo entered the courtyard, and instinctively looked around. Despite the cold weather, his mother often took walks here.

There were only two servants sweeping in the courtyard. When they saw him return, they came over to greet him.

"Where’s my mom? Is she staying at home?"

The sweeping servant shook his head, "No, the lady left early in the morning; as for where, Young Master Yan should ask Uncle Cui."

"Is my dad not here either?"

"Yes, Old Yan has been very busy lately; isn’t he expecting some VIPs soon?"

Yan Bo thought for a moment and realized that was indeed the case.

With this in mind, he understood that his decision to come home at this time was impulsive, and it was unlikely that either his father or mother would have time for him.

"Young Master Yan, you’re back! What would you like for lunch? I’ll have the chef prepare it for you."

Uncle Cui, who came up to meet him, took Yan Bo’s bags and asked with concern.

"Aren’t my dad and mom coming back for lunch?"

Uncle Cui placed his bags properly and turned to him, saying, "Yes, you know, every year towards the end of the year, Old Yan and the lady often have to attend various banquets, and it’s been several days since they’ve eaten at home."

Yan Bo felt somewhat disappointed, "Isn’t my mom coming back in the evening either?"

Seeing his father, and a visit with his mother would have been good too.

Lately, Yan Bo had thought a lot and still felt that starting with his mother was an easier approach regarding his situation with Tong Xiaohua.

Therefore, his main reason for coming back this time was to coax his mother; as for his father, who knew if that old man had calmed down yet?

"She’s not coming back. She has an appointment with a designer for a clothes fitting and jewelry. Should I make a phone call to ask?"

Yan Bo waved his hand dismissively, "Never mind, I’ll call her later."

His mother’s affairs were matters of national importance; his own trivial romantic issues would have to be set aside for now.

With no one in the house, Yan Bo listlessly returned to his bedroom to take a hot bath, and after warming up, he dried off and dressed before stepping out.

Feeling rather gloomy, he picked up his mobile phone and dialed Tong Xiaohua’s number.

"You home?" Tong Xiaohua’s energetic voice came through the phone swiftly.

"Yeah, I’m here, but my parents aren’t home!"

"Ah? So you made a wasted trip?" Tong Xiaohua seemed quite sympathetic.

"Yeah, if I’d known, I would’ve stayed in L City to watch movies and shop with you." Yan Bo regretted not getting the details clear before rushing back.

Even if he didn’t phone home, he could have secretly called Uncle Cui to ask about the situation.

Yan Bo realized that his recent IQ was concerning, and his actions were becoming increasingly reckless.

"If you’re bored, why don’t you get Jiajia or some other friends to hang out? You probably haven’t met with your old friends for a long time, right?" Tong Xiaohua comforted him with kind words.

At this point, Yan Bo had no choice but to make such arrangements.

Who would have thought? Yan Bo made several calls in a row, and those close buddies were either traveling abroad or accompanying their parents to visit friends. Surprisingly, not a single one of them was free to hang out with him.

Angered, Yan Bo found someone to book a flight back to L City for the afternoon, had lunch alone, and then left the house with his luggage.

As evening approached, the plane landed in L City.

He turned on his mobile phone and a series of messages "beeped" their way in.

Yan Bo thought it was Tong Xiaohua, but to his surprise, they were all messages from his mom.

"Xiao Bo, why didn’t you call me when you got home?"

"Where are you now? Are you out playing with a friend? Will you be coming back tonight?"

...

"Xiao Bo, are you angry with mom?"

This last message faintly revealed the anxiousness of Mother Yan.

Yan Bo read this message several times, and finally, with a hardened heart, he turned off his phone again.

Perhaps, he should also take a gamble.

Since the conventional approach won’t get his parents to accept Tong Xiaohua.

Why not try a different method?

Having made up his mind, Yan Bo got into a taxi, turned on his phone again, and quickly added his parents’ and home phone numbers to the blacklist.

From Big Brother Tong, he learned that for his sake, Tong Xiaohua had even threatened Big Brother Tong.

Big Brother Tong even said, "Xiao Yan, I’ve come to realize that the daughter I raised for eighteen years has been completely taken away by you."

In that moment, Yan Bo wondered what virtues or abilities he possessed that made Tong Xiaohua risk falling out with Big Brother Tong to protect his bit of dignity and a way out.

Since Tong Xiaohua could go to such lengths.

He, Yan Bo, naturally could as well.

Once he got back to his residence, he first called Tong Xiaohua to tell her he was back and asked to have dinner together the next night.

"Why did you come back all of a sudden?" Tong Xiaohua clearly couldn’t believe it.

"My parents aren’t home, and my childhood friends are all busy with things. I was so bored at home alone that I simply booked a ticket and flew back."

"Pff, you. Do you already consider yourself a person from L City? Do you need to come back here to feel like you belong?" Tong Xiaohua teased him with a laugh on the phone.

Yan Bo was taken aback for a moment, then thought about it and realized that might actually be the case.

Staying at home alone, he felt bored.

But back in L City, most of the time he was also alone, wasn’t he? Yet he rarely felt bored because of it.

Could it be that Tong Xiaohua guessed it correctly?

Subconsciously, he had come to think of L City as his home.

Conversely, had the home in the Capital City become like a hotel where he occasionally stayed?

Yan Bo didn’t have time to think it through, as there was a signal for another incoming call, "Xiao Hua, I’ve got another call coming in, I’ll call you back later."

After hanging up with Tong Xiaohua, he answered the other call.

"Bro, what’s up?"

"What’s with you, kid? Running off half a day after getting home, and your phone’s been off this whole time, do you want to drive your mother to an early grave?"

Yan Yuan started berating him the moment he opened his mouth.
