Chapter 843: Chapter 840 He’s No Ordinary Person

Yan Bo pressed his forehead, fell silent for a while, then let out another sigh.

"Alright, if there’s anything you don’t understand, just ask."

It seemed that in the future, he’d need to keep a closer eye on her, she was clearly smart and astute, so why was she so foolish in this regard?

At this moment, Yan Bo was unaware that, just like him, Tong Xiaohua possessed an intuition and perception far beyond ordinary people. She truly sensed his genuine concern for her, which is why she had given these to him to see.

Moreover, these account books were several years old, and while they involved private details of the Tong family, they weren’t the kind that couldn’t be disclosed, so she felt at ease showing them to him.

Besides, she trusted her teacher even less than she trusted him.

Thus, the two of them finished their meal but did not immediately leave the dining room, instead, they discussed various problems in the private room that gave Tong Xiaohua a headache.

As it approached nine o’clock, Uncle Ming called Tong Xiaohua.

"Xiao Hua, where are you? Haven’t you finished dinner yet?"

At this time, Uncle Ming was patrolling a KTV, worrying about Tong Xiaohua. He called her bodyguards and received the response that she was still with Yan Family’s third young master in the private dining room, which immediately set off alarms in his mind.

Yet, though he felt anxious, his tone remained very calm over the phone; Tong Xiaohua couldn’t detect anything unusual at all.

"Yes, I have some questions I don’t understand, and I’m asking Yan Bo for advice!"

Uncle Ming, on the other end of the phone, heard his naive girl speak so lightly and tensed up, but he didn’t dare scold her. Instead, he advised gently and amicably.

"Xiao Hua, it’s quite late. Pulling the third young master of the Yan Family into this and that question doesn’t seem appropriate, does it? Is the teacher I hired for you not good enough? I’ll find you a few replacements tomorrow."

Tong Xiaohua replied, "It’s fine, no matter how busy he is, he still has to eat, right?"

Uncle Ming didn’t know that her relationship with Yan Bo had rapidly evolved from a mere acquaintance to the mixed bond of teacher and friend they shared now. Was she suddenly blind and couldn’t see through the third young master of the Yan Family’s ulterior motives toward her?

"Xiao Hua, the third young master of the Yan Family is no ordinary person; his kindness towards you can’t be without reason!"

Uncle Ming thought she would understand after he brought the conversation to this point.

Unexpectedly, Tong Xiaohua cast a silent glance at Yan Bo, who stood by the window, and said to Uncle Ming on the phone, "Uncle Ming, I know what I’m doing, let’s leave it at that. I still haven’t fully grasped some issues; I’m going to hang up now."

Before Uncle Ming had the chance to say anything else, the phone was disconnected.

The moment she picked up the phone, Yan Bo had tactfully taken a cup of tea to the window, gazing out at the night scenery, lost in thought.

The person calling was Uncle Ming, no doubt calling to remind her, wasn’t he?

Yan Bo had never made a point of flaunting his family background in front of Tong Xiaohua, firstly because he disdained using his father’s achievements to score points for himself.

Secondly, he did indeed fear that his own family background would frighten her away.

After all, in society, black and white were opposing sides, hard to reconcile.

He had been aware of these realities ever since he learned that she was the heiress of the Tong family.

He had considered not pursuing her.

Yet his rationality was always in arrears when it came to Tong Xiaohua. All his actions followed his heart, completely disregarding conventional concerns or the importance of matched social status.

In his view, as long as he won her heart, nothing else would be insurmountable.

Yan Bo withdrew his gaze from the window and just happened to hear Tong Xiaohua behind him saying goodbye to the other person.

"I’m sorry, Uncle Ming nags me just like my dad does, always thinking I’m still a child."

Tong Xiaohua knew Yan Bo couldn’t have heard what Uncle Ming said to her, but she herself felt a bit guilty, and now, looking at Yan Bo, her smile was somewhat awkward.

Yan Bo pretended not to understand anything and casually took his seat beside her again.

"You are still a child. It’s normal for Uncle Tong to be cautious."

If he had a sister who was eighteen, he would probably be even more protective.

"Yan Bo, don’t talk as if you are much older. You are only two years older than me. If I am a child, then you are at best a big child."

Yan Bo looked at her sideways, "Xiao Hua, being treated as a child is actually a kind of happiness."

The reason Yan Bo said something like this wasn’t because his own experiences were tragic, quite the opposite, as the youngest of the Yan Family, he was very much pampered at home. However, he wasn’t the kind of second-generation that would be content with being pampered and trapped by it.

His feelings of such were all because of Tong Xiaohua.

In his eyes, a girl of Tong Xiaohua’s age ought to be pampered and protected in the palms of her family, cheerfully enjoying the carefree life of her youth, not forced to shoulder heavy burdens and reluctantly learn a bunch of knowledge that doesn’t interest her.

Tong Xiaohua was momentarily stunned, sensing the compassion in his words, and then smiled at him.

"Yes, I also feel quite fortunate!"

Yan Bo’s initially somber mood was infected by her bright smile, lightening slightly, but fearing she was just putting on a brave face, he examined her closely. Seeing that her smile was sincere, with no sign of strain or pretense.

Clearly, she was someone who knew how to find joy in adversity!

After understanding this, Yan Bo couldn’t help but feel more sympathy for her.

However, Tong Xiaohua didn’t give him too much time to dwell on it, pushing the account books back to him and pointing to the content marked in red for him to help clarify.

Yan Bo, feeling sympathy for her, naturally was very enthusiastic when teaching her, spared no knowledge, and even imparted many useful insights as well.

Tong Xiaohua was diligent too. Everything he explained, she took notes of very seriously.

It wasn’t until Yan Bo’s phone rang that the eager Tong Xiaohua realized it was already half-past nine.

Yan Bo picked up the phone and glanced at it, but directly rejected the call.

Tong Xiaohua was very embarrassed, quickly closed the account book, and apologized to Yan Bo with a guilty expression, "Yan Bo, I’m really sorry for taking up so much of your evening, you must have important things to do, right? Let’s call it a day for now. Thank you so much. When you’re free, let me treat you to a meal!"

Yan Bo nodded without any hesitation, "Then how about tomorrow night? What would you like to eat? I’ll make the reservation."

Tong Xiaohua couldn’t let him make the reservation, as she had clearly said it was her treat.

"No need, what do you like to eat? I’ll make the reservation."

Yan Bo didn’t argue further, and said very honestly, "The weather is dry, something light would be good, right?"

"Alright, I’ll set up the reservation and text you the details tomorrow."

They chatted as they walked out the door, and Yan Bo escorted her to the car. After a moment of thought, he couldn’t resist and spoke up to invite
