Chapter 1039: Chapter 1036

Yan Bo eventually could not resist Yan Yuan and, helpless, indicated that he absolutely would not interfere in this matter.

It was not because he was shirking responsibility, but because, whether it was his own speculation or the clues discovered by the eldest of the Tong family, the evidence was pointing very clearly at Yan Yuan.

Obviously, his injury this time, including the trouble at the construction site, he had become Yan Yuan’s scapegoat.

Before Yan Yuan left, he specifically called Tong Xiaohua in.

"Xiao Hua, keep an eye on Xiao Bo, don’t let him run around everywhere. Until the doctor says he can be discharged from the hospital, I’ll take care of the construction company’s business."

Tong Xiaohua’s face showed surprise, what had these two brothers talked about? Why was it that Yan Bo’s matter had become something Yan Yuan had to shoulder?

Of course, Yan Yuan was not so idle as to explain anything to Tong Xiaohua. He patted Yan Bo’s shoulder, stood up to leave, and when he reached the door, he suddenly turned his head back to Yan Bo and said, "Consider this matter as a debt I owe you."

Before Yan Bo could say anything, Yan Yuan had already left the room with big strides.

"Yan Big Brother, he..." Tong Xiaohua pointed towards the door, tentatively asking Yan Bo.

"The construction company’s business, it’s probably just as we suspected, so my brother is dealing with it officially and will resolve it in the most ordinary way, which saves us a lot of trouble."

Yan Bo had intended to take on the matter because he was worried it would affect Yan Yuan’s election next month.

But Yan Yuan was not a reckless person. Since he said he had a method to solve it, he must have already thought of a decisive strategy, so Yan Bo was no longer worried about this matter.

Tong Xiaohua eyed Yan Bo with a mix of belief and doubt before seeing him truly relaxed and hence finally felt at ease.

"Well, since it’s like this, then I am relieved."

Yan Bo reached out his hand to hers and pulled her over, his arms loosely circling her waist.

"Give me the phone, I want to say a word to Uncle Tong."

Tong Xiaohua handed him the phone and went herself to the toilet to wash the fruits.

What Yan Bo said to her father, she was completely unaware, but she was not worried in the least.

The fruits were brought over by Yan Yuan, and just from looking at this fruit basket, one could tell how much Yan Yuan doted on his younger brother.

Because all the fruits in the basket were Yan Bo’s favorites.

What average man would be so considerate? Moreover, Yan Yuan is the kind of busy person who often can’t even find time to eat a meal, let alone find time once every two or three months to visit his parents.

"Your brother even knows that you like red dragon fruit?" Tong Xiaohua handed over the cut dragon fruit to Yan Bo, seemingly asking casually.

Yan Bo speared a piece of fruit with his fork and put it in his mouth, "Oh... My brother may have a stone face, but he’s quite thoughtful."

Tong Xiaohua hummed in agreement, watching Yan Bo enjoy slice after slice of dragon fruit, then she asked cautiously.

"So, have you and Yan Big Brother made up?"

Yan Bo paused, looked up at her, and then, smiled.

"You noticed?"

At this point, Tong Xiaohua felt there was no need to pretend any longer.

Besides, she always felt that Yan Bo’s stance was not quite right.

No matter what, his parents and elder brother had been very good to him, and now, because of her, their relationship was strained. She, as the catalyst, had to come forward and say something.

"Um, actually, I don’t approve of what you’re doing."

Of course, Tong Xiaohua also had her temper.

She was also angry about how Yan Bo’s parents had treated her.

But she kept reassuring herself that they probably just needed some more time, nothing more.

"Xiao Hua, I know what I’m doing, so you don’t need to persuade me!"

How could Yan Bo not guess the self-blame and guilt in her heart?

But he also knew all too well that at this critical juncture, he absolutely could not back down.

Because once he did, it would be even harder to gain his parents’ concession and understanding in the future.

Faced with such an obstinate Yan Bo, Tong Xiaohua didn’t know how to persuade him for a moment.

Yan Bo picked up a piece of dragon fruit and brought it to her mouth, "Stop thinking about them, have you thought about where we should go for the Spring Festival?"

It was then that Tong Xiaohua remembered she had promised Xiao Mi to consider taking a trip to the border.

"What if I say I have another commitment, what will you do?"

Tong Xiaohua was still hoping that if she wasn’t around, Yan Bo would probably choose to go back to Capital City for the New Year’s.

Yan Bo stared at her, "Are you serious?"

Tong Xiaohua nodded, "Yes, Xiao Mi and the others are going to the border, and they invited me."

"Did you agree?" Yan Bo didn’t seem to be in a rush, after all, he knew Tong Xiaohua all too well.

"Not yet, but I do really want to go," Tong Xiaohua replied against her will.

"Then go ahead, the company has a ton of work anyway, if you’re not around, I’ll just work overtime there."

Yan Bo didn’t seem to be acting out of spite; it was as if he had planned for this already.

Tong Xiaohua was stunned, "You’re not going back to Capital City?"

"No, going back would just mean more quarreling, it’s not necessary."

Yan Bo felt that both he and his parents needed some time to truly cool off.

That day, Tong Xiaohua, who stayed in the hospital to accompany Yan Bo, spent a lot of effort convincing him, but no matter what she said, Yan Bo still persisted with his original plan.

In the end, Tong Xiaohua had no choice but to compromise.

"Alright, I’ll turn down Xiao Mi. After I get home, I’ll ask my parents where they would like to go."

Since Yan Bo had made it clear he would absolutely not return to Capital City, she naturally couldn’t really leave him to work overtime at the company alone.

Yan Bo had a strong constitution and recovered quickly. Tong Xiaohua stayed with him in the hospital for another night and, on the morning of the third day, the doctor performed a thorough checkup and, finding no issues, discharged him.

Fearing that he would not be cared for if living alone, Tong Xiaohua’s mother had called early on, instructing them to bring Yan Bo straight to Tong Family’s home after his discharge.

Yan Bo wasn’t sure how long he would stay at Tong Family’s, so on his way back, he made a detour to his residence to pack some belongings. Di Xu helped him place the luggage in the car and joked with a laugh.

"Boss, you almost look like you’re getting married or something."

Yan Bo smiled, "Then are you going to give me a big red envelope?"

Di Xu was startled, "Boss, are you for real?!"

Yan Bo didn’t deny it, "I do hope it’s true! Of course, not getting married, but marrying!"

So many external factors constantly tugged at his and Tong Xiaohua’s relationship.

He had confidence in himself, but he couldn’t guarantee that Tong Xiaohua and her family would be willing to endure various attacks and setbacks forever.

"Damn, so all those things you mentioned to me last time were real?"

About the proposal, Yan Bo had sought Di Xu’s advice on some issues tentatively.

At the time, Di Xu thought he was just asking casually.

After all, he was only twenty. At that age, getting married seemed too early.

"Yep, it’s real!" Yan Bo confessed generously, "I’m not very familiar with L City, help me keep an eye out for a suitable place and give me some suggestions."
