Chapter 834: Chapter 831: Is He Deliberately Whetting Her Appetite?_3

She was probably weighing whether or not to trust Yan Bo’s words.

Actually, from the perspective of the other party, it didn’t matter who was sending the emails. What mattered was whether he wanted to change his position after reviewing the data.

Yan Bo waited a few more minutes, but when no reply came, he felt as though more thoughts accumulated in his mind.

If he didn’t get a clear answer before the end of his workday, then he would resort to the second method.

His long-abandoned email stayed silent, and Yan Bo had already planned in his heart—to start implementing the second method as soon as he got back the next morning.

Unexpectedly, the next morning while he was still having breakfast with coffee in his residence, reading the newspaper, his assistant’s phone call came in.

"Boss, good news!"

"Tell me," Yan Bo vaguely guessed what the assistant might mean by good news.

"The documents from S City have been issued, we can go full steam ahead now!" the assistant exclaimed excitedly.

A smile unwittingly spread across Yan Bo’s lips, "Good, I’ll be back in ten minutes."

It looked like he was going to be busy from now on!

...

In the end, Tong Xiaohua, like all the other freshmen, went to the campus on the opening day of school, wearing a T-shirt and jeans, with her hair tied back in a ponytail.

The first day’s agenda was nothing innovative; after the New Student Opening Ceremony, the students would return to their class to listen to the teacher drone on with a heap of school-start notices.

Tong Xiaohua sat at the back row, tilting her head, looking at the branches of the eucalyptus trees swaying outside the window.

After seeing Yan Bo at the clubhouse that day, she thought that in the next few days she would "coincidentally" encounter Yan Bo in different places.

After all, after the first time, wouldn’t there be a second and a third? Isn’t that normal?

However, except for the usual fresh flowers and gifts delivered to her house every day, she hadn’t come across Yan Bo again.

The fresh flowers sent home still changed daily and as for the gifts, they were still small tokens.

Sometimes, it was a small teddy bear toy.

Sometimes, it was a chic brooch.

Tong Xiaohua had never seen such a man—persistent, yet always staying at a distance, not getting too close, as if, he was giving her ample time to consider and accept.

Only, if she remembered correctly, it seemed that he had never expressed anything to her from the beginning to end.

He had never said he liked her, not to mention he had never even once suggested he wanted to be friends with her.

This man wasn’t actually considerate; rather, he was intentionally whetting her appetite, wasn’t he?

"Miss, did classes go smoothly today?"

The driver picking her up asked with great concern upon seeing her get into the car.

"Yeah, they were fine!"

All day, her mind had been filled with thoughts analyzing Yan Bo and his recent actions towards her, so she didn’t care whether class had gone smoothly or not.

"Where to now? Back to the village?"

Tong Xiaohua glanced at her watch; it was just past four o’clock. Normally, she could have gone somewhere else, but today she just wanted to sit at home.

"Yeah, let’s go back."

She had seen Uncle Ming’s accounts up to the fifth year, and she vaguely had a clue.

As for whether to take action or not, that would require a good discussion with Uncle Ming.

As the car neared the entrance to Tong village, unexpectedly, she saw a white sedan parked outside the iron gate.

Tong Xiaohua asked the driver to go and see what was going on, while she herself sat in the car, idly opening a book that she had just received today, flipping through absentmindedly.

"Tap tap tap..."

The car window was rapped on, and Tong Xiaohua looked up to see that the man who had preoccupied her mind all day was bending down, standing outside the car.

Tong Xiaohua rolled her eyes secretly and lowered the window. The handsome face with a gentle smile immediately leaned in and blocked the opening.

"Miss Tong..." He called out, glancing over the book on her lap, with a smile deepening in his eyes, "Just got back from school?"

Tong Xiaohua looked down at him and responded indifferently.

"Um..."

"Would you mind coming out for a chat?" Yan Bo seemed not to mind her coldness, still smiling warmly.

There’s a saying that you shouldn’t slap a smiling face. Naturally, Tong Xiaohua felt the same.

She nodded expressionlessly, closed the book, moved it aside, reached out to open the car door, and got out of the car.

Once she got out, she stood face to face with Yan Bo.

Previously, she had worn heels, so she hadn’t noticed how much shorter she was compared to him. Today, wearing sneakers, she had to look up to clearly see his facial expressions.

"You’re really tall, aren’t you!"

Such a remark really wasn’t appropriate for the unfamiliarity between them.

However, she said it without even thinking.

Yan Bo casually placed his hands in the pockets of his casual trousers and looked down at her with a smile.

"Not too tall, just right for you!"

Tong Xiaohua felt inexplicably angry. She wasn’t familiar with him, and this talk about matching was just too presumptuous!
