Chapter 846: Chapter 843: Are You Anxious While Waiting?

Tong Xiaohua’s mood was quite good throughout the day. Recently, whenever she appeared at the various stores of the Tong family, she always carried a stern face.

Only by doing so could she conceal the childishness typical of her age and appear more persuasive.

However, today she seemed to forget this awareness altogether, smiling faintly the entire time, which completely bewitched the group of brothers watching her.

"Uncle Qin, Miss seems to be in a very good mood today?"

Bank Director Liu Jian secretly tugged at Qin Ming’s sleeve, eager to dig up some gossip.

Uncle Qin glared at him, "Her good mood isn’t because of you. Focus on your work, and don’t think you can slack off just because Miss is in a good mood!"

Liu Jian, a thirty-something bachelor, while not highly educated, was loyal and quick-witted. He had been personally promoted to the position of bank supervisor by Mr. Tong half a year ago.

At the time, this move had sparked criticism among the old servants. It was Mr. Tong who, against all arguments, strongly supported him to take the position of the Big Supervisor of the bank.

Thanks to Mr. Tong’s appreciation, Liu Jian naturally felt a sense of gratitude towards Tong Xiaohua.

Among the several supervisors, he was the only one who had never secretly tried to trip up Tong Xiaohua since she took over the helm of the Tong family.

"I didn’t..." Liu Jian quietly defended himself.

"I know you didn’t, but you’d better keep a close eye on the East City bank. Miss took a quick look at their accounts the other day and her brows never smoothed out."

Uncle Qin was fond of Tong Xiaohua. She should have been living carefree, but now she had to deal with a bunch of old foxes.

Among these old foxes were her uncles and brothers. She had only been in charge for about ten days and was still getting to grips with many aspects of the business. He, as someone she treated like an uncle, naturally wanted to take on more responsibilities to help her.

Knowing that Liu Jian was utterly loyal to Tong Xiaohua, he purposely made his point clear so that Liu Jian would hustle to clean up the mess caused by his subordinates, sparing Tong Xiaohua from the hassle of dealing with the troublesome hard nuts below.

The East City bank Uncle Qin referred to was managed by one of Mr. Tong’s nephews. Confident in his status as Tong Xiaohua’s cousin and also being a shareholder in the Tong family’s enterprises, he didn’t take his younger cousin seriously.

Uncle Qin didn’t want Tong Xiaohua to confront this man directly, so he secretly hinted to Liu Jian.

Liu Jian’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly assured, with a serious expression, "Alright, I’ll handle it. I won’t let Miss be bothered by it."

Uncle Qin nodded and patted his shoulder silently.

Leaving the bank, Tong Xiaohua checked the time and found she had nearly an hour before her appointment. She was very close to Yan Bo’s company, and the restaurant she had booked was just diagonally across from Yan Bo’s company.

"Uncle Qin, after dinner, around nine o’clock, I’ll go directly to the KTV in North City to meet up with you, okay?"

She hadn’t deliberately concealed her dinner appointment with Yan Bo from anyone. Although Uncle Qin felt she was meeting Yan Bo a bit too often, her father had said it was fine. Since he was just her uncle, he didn’t have the right to meddle.

He checked the time, "No problem!" After helping her open the car door and seeing her settled in, he couldn’t help asking as he held the door, "Didn’t you arrange to meet Young Master Yan at six? It’s only five now, where are you planning to go?"

Qin Ming had two sons in their twenties who weren’t around. He had doted on the little girl Tong Xiaohua since she was young, treating her like his own daughter.

The little girl, who rarely interacted with the opposite sex alone, was suddenly seen quite frequently with a charming young master. To say he wasn’t worried would be a lie.

"I’m going to find a coffee shop nearby to sit for a while. Uncle Qin, would you like to come?"

Uncle Qin almost said yes, but seeing the playful smile on the little girl’s face, he immediately realized she was just teasing him.

"Forget it, you’re like a flower, a beautiful young lady, it’s nothing for you to sit with a messed-up guy like me." While saying this, he also instructed the driver-bodyguard in the front seat, "Xiao Yang, take Miss to Qingning Road."

Yan Bo’s company, Yanhuang Real Estate, is located on Qingning Road.

About ten minutes later, the car turned into Qingning Road, and Xiao Yang stopped in front of a certain coffee shop as Tong Xiaohua had instructed.

Tong Xiaohua found a seat by the window in the coffee shop, ordered a cup of coffee, took a book out of her bag and started flipping through it in silence.

The phone on the table suddenly rang, startling the engrossed Tong Xiaohua.

She took a deep breath, picked up the phone to see, and it was a call from Yan Bo.

Tong Xiaohua’s face showed a smile, and her tone was very relaxed.

"Hello, how are you?"

"Xiao Hua? Where are you? Do you want me to come pick you up?"

From her seat, Tong Xiaohua had a clear view of the traffic light across the road. Without thinking, she glanced up and immediately saw Yan Bo, dressed in a white shirt and black trousers, holding the phone to his ear and striding towards her across the middle of the road along the crosswalk.

"Comrade Yan Bo, please raise your noble head..." Tong Xiaohua teased with a smile.

Yan Bo, walking across the crosswalk, heard her and looked up, catching sight of the coffee shop directly across the street, where a girl with a ponytail, wearing a goose-yellow knitted top, was waving at him. Who else could this girl with a sly grin on her face be but Tong Xiaohua?

Yan Bo mimicked her, raising his left hand to wave back, "Noble Miss Tong, please wait for me!"

As he spoke, Yan Bo hung up the phone.

Tong Xiaohua watched him reach the sidewalk but instead of coming toward the coffee shop, he turned aside and, after a moment, vanished from her line of sight.

She thought he would be back soon, just a minute or two.

Five or six minutes passed and still no sign of him. Tong Xiaohua then thought he might be busy with other things as there was still nearly half an hour until the agreed time.

Nearly ten minutes passed, and Tong Xiaohua looked eagerly out towards the coffee shop’s entrance, secretly contemplating whether to settle the bill and go straight to the restaurant to wait for him.

Just then, a familiar voice came from behind.

"Miss, would you honor me by joining me for a meal?"

Tong Xiaohua turned around, about to scold him for disappearing for over ten minutes and wondering where he had gone. But her view was suddenly filled with a large bunch of purple bellflowers.

Before she could react, Yan Bo’s handsome face emerged from behind the bellflowers.

"Anxious in waiting?"

Clearly, he had seen her looking forward with great anticipation.

Tong Xiaohua was about to deny it when the large bunch of bellflowers was thrust into her arms, and Yan Bo took a seat opposite her with casual grace.

Tong Xiaohua couldn’t help but sniff the bouquet, her eyes still fixed on him, "Where did you pop up from?"

Surely, she had been watching the door the entire time; with him holding such an eye-catching bouquet, it was impossible for her not to see him.

Could it be that he has the power of invisibility?
