Chapter 862: Chapter 859 Miss Falls Ill

However, it’s only normal for Mom to believe that, after all, he’s an Eldest Young Master who doesn’t even know how to cook noodles.

Even though he had left home several years ago and could take care of other daily tasks, cooking was something he had never touched, and likely had no intention of trying in the future.

Looking at a whole box of tonics, Yan Bo began to wonder whether it might really be better to hire a nanny to take care of his stomach.

Having thought of this, Yan Bo, after finishing his bath, made a call to Di Xu.

"Young Master, we’ve just finished dinner and are about to go for drinks, do you want to come?"

Yan Bo didn’t originally intend to join them for drinks, "No thanks, have fun. Can you find me a reliable nanny, and help me hire one?"

"A nanny? Does the Young Master want one just for cleaning, or one who can cook as well?"

"Cleaning and cooking, I’m a bit scared of takeout these days."

If it were not for returning home for a visit, Yan Bo wouldn’t have thought takeout was so bad. But having been pampered by the family chef for a few meals at home, the taste of food from outside restaurants was hard to swallow upon returning.

"Okay, I’ll look for one for you tomorrow. Do you have any requirements about age, appearance, and such?"

Di Xu was always meticulous in his work, preferring to clearly understand the boss’s requirements beforehand to avoid bringing someone unsuitable.

"An aunt in her forties or fifties, with no bad habits and a gentle personality will do."

Yan Bo stated his requirements and was about to say goodbye when he heard Di Xu say, "Okay, I’ll find someone for you to meet tomorrow. We are at the Dynamic Zone near the company, are you sure you don’t want to come for a couple of drinks?"

The bar Di Xu mentioned was the same one where Tong Xiaohua had drinks with Yan Bo and Ling Qingyun that day.

Yan Bo, who was initially very determined, suddenly found his resolve wavering.

"Okay then, you guys have fun, I’ll see if I have time later. If I do, I’ll head over directly."

As he said this, he hung up the phone and then opened his wardrobe, hesitating for a while before he finally changed his clothes and left the house.

Yan Bo, tall and handsome at twenty years old, in a T-shirt and jeans, could easily pass for an ordinary university student.

But his identity was that of a company boss, so he usually dressed in shirts and suits to appear more mature and convincing.

Therefore, when he showed up at the bar’s VIP room in a casual outfit, wearing a black T-shirt with a beige light coat, it really took his staff by surprise.

"Boss, are you really our boss? Or are you a little brother who got lost after high school dismissed?" Di Xu circled the Yan Bo who looked less like a boss and more like his own little brother.

Di Xu was the closest to Yan Bo and they spent a lot of time together privately, but he had never seen Yan Bo in this kind of attire. Seeing Yan Bo like this made him seem much more approachable, compelling Di Xu to start teasing him.

Yan Bo patted his shoulder and laughed, "Yeah, big brother Xu, I am your younger brother. Are you treating me to drinks tonight?"

Di Xu quickly put away his teasing demeanor and respectfully addressed him as Young Master.

The Yan Bo who was just called a little brother was surrounded by the staff and ushered to sit down on the Sofa. After a boisterous round of toasts among them, the door was knocked and to their surprise, in came the bar’s manager.

Upon entering, the manager greeted everyone, "Hello everyone, I am the manager here."

While speaking, he took a good look at the people inside and then appeared slightly embarrassed, "I heard you’re from Yanhuang Real Estate, isn’t Young Master Yan here?"

The manager, whom Yan Bo had met before, didn’t raise his voice deliberately; he just wanted to see what the manager had up his sleeve. Hearing him ask this, Yan Bo stood up and reached out his hand.

"Manager Shen, nice to see you again!"

Manager Shen looked at him in surprise and after scrutinizing him closely for a few moments, quickly reached out to shake Yan Bo’s hand.

"Ah, Young Master Yan, you’ve changed your attire and totally fooled me."

Yan Bo smiled, "Is that so? Everyone says I look like a high school student, but I’m not that young, at the very least, I look like a university student, right?"

Actually, at his age, he was indeed of university-student age, except his experiences far surpassed that of his peers, and naturally, the position he stood in was incomparable to other university students of the same age.

"Hahaha, Young Master Yan, you’re so humorous. How was the taste of the wine we had the other day? If it was alright, I’ll have someone bring over half a dozen, on the house!"

Manager Shen wasn’t aware of Yan Bo’s actual age, but being an old hand in the industry, he wouldn’t dwell on such a matter.

"The wine the other day tasted great, bring in a full dozen. VIP price is fine, so that they can’t say I served them Tyrant Wine."

Yan Bo didn’t care about the money; besides, this was Tong Xiaohua’s bar—how could he eat and drink for free?

After the manager had personally delivered the wine, Yan Bo casually asked, "What about Miss Tong? She didn’t come to patrol tonight?"

Yan Bo had already investigated Tong Xiaohua’s daily schedule thoroughly beforehand; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to create a ’chance’ encounter.

As they grew more familiar with each other and chatted over meals, Tong Xiaohua mentioned that she would make rounds at various nightclubs every evening.

Manager Shen naturally didn’t know about these details, and upon Yan Bo inquiring, he answered honestly, "Usually at this time, Miss would certainly come, but she hasn’t been here the past couple of days. It seems, from what I heard from Ming Ye, that Miss has fallen ill."

Yan Bo was startled inwardly, and his expression uncontrollably tensed with concern as he stared at Manager Shen.

"Ill? What ails her?"

As Yan Bo asked verbally, several possibilities swiftly crossed his mind.

Was it due to overwork?

Or, had she been injured in the Tong Family’s internal strife?

Yan Bo inwardly chastised himself; he really shouldn’t have let his anger keep him from contacting her for a while!

"I’m not quite clear about the specifics of her discomfort; I’ve only heard about it. However, it shouldn’t be any serious illness, Young Master Yan, no need to worry."

Manager Shen took Yan Bo’s inquiry as merely a gesture of courtesy befitting friends connected through business interests.

Unable to glean much from Manager Shen and growing anxious, Yan Bo sat on the sofa sipping half a glass of wine, unable to resist any longer, and picked up his phone intending to step outside and give Tong Xiaohua a call to understand the situation properly.

At this moment, he was thrown into disarray by the news of her illness, completely forgetting thoughts of playing it cool or changing strategies.

He walked to the door and held the doorknob but before he could turn it, the door was unexpectedly pushed open from the outside.

When the door opened, the two people standing on either side were both taken aback.

"Xiao Hua?"

"Yan Bo!"

Both exclaimed at the same time, then looked at each other and burst into laughter.

Noticing the phone in his hand, Tong Xiaohua asked while stepping aside, "Are you going out to make a call?"

Looking at the phone in his hand and back to her, Yan Bo nodded with a mix of amusement and helplessness.
