Chapter 867: Chapter 864: This is Considered Mastering the Skill

But he thought that since last night up until now, his relationship with her seemed to have taken a qualitative leap, so such words came out of his mouth smoothly, without a hint of difficulty or embarrassment.

Tong Xiaohua, however, blushed at his words, too embarrassed to respond, and quickly quickened her pace, stepping into the elevator.

Yan Bo watched her flustered departure with a smile, feeling inexplicably cheerful, stepped into the elevator, pretended not to see her flushed face, and pressed the button for the residence floor.

"My company occupies these two floors, both the office and residence are on this level. When you have time, you’re welcome to visit anytime."

Tong Xiaohua paused for a moment before responding, "Let’s try your nanny’s cooking first!"

Yan Bo found it amusing, thinking if Aunt Xin’s cooking couldn’t hook her taste buds, then he would keep changing nannies until he found one that could captivate her palate, even her entire being.

Of course, Tong Xiaohua had no idea about his thoughts and simply watched the numbers change on the elevator wall without looking elsewhere.

In fact, when she got Yan Bo’s reply at noon, she hardly thought before giving him a confirmative answer.

After replying, she only then belatedly realized, was she about to cross a threshold?

When she thought about crossing the threshold, another wave of heat swept over Tong Xiaohua’s face.

Although, Yan Bo had also eaten at the Tong Family home, that was different—there were many people in the mansion then.

As for his residence, if she was not mistaken, it was likely that he lived there alone.

So, as a single woman accepting an invitation to a single man’s home, shouldn’t she be a bit reserved?

However, by the time she realized this, the message she sent couldn’t possibly be taken back.

When she told Uncle Ming she wouldn’t be home for dinner, he looked at her with an inquisitive face, "Going on a date?"

Tong Xiaohua fled in panic!

Because of Uncle Ming’s words, she completely forgot that she should bring some gifts for her first visit until the car approached the intersection and she saw a flower shop. Only then did she remember she came empty-handed and hurriedly got off to buy a bouquet of flowers.

By doing this, she avoided being rude.

"The nanny was just hired today, whether she stays or goes, it’s up to you to decide!" It wasn’t until they stepped out of the elevator that Yan Bo responded to Tong Xiaohua’s earlier remark.

Tong Xiaohua, walking ahead, clearly froze for a second, and only after Yan Bo caught up did she glare at him, "Why should I decide about your nanny?"

Yan Bo’s face was filled with a tender smile, "Always taking you out to eat, I have no money, so I hired a nanny who’s good at cooking to save some money!"

Yan Bo was becoming less and less secretive about his ulterior motives.

Yet, it was his candor that made Tong Xiaohua feel he was more reliable than those who spouted nothing but righteousness and morality.

Yan Bo, it seemed, had always been this kind of person. When they first met, he told her plainly that he liked her and therefore, hoped she would give them a chance to understand each other.

Now, he also made it clear to her, that these efforts were indeed to win her favor.

"Don’t play poor in front of me. Just today I found out that Yanhuang Real Estate is L City’s biggest investment project this year. Looks like I’ve underestimated you, President Yan!"

Yan Bo had never thought of hiding anything from Tong Xiaohua, nor did he have any desire to boast in front of her.

However, her bringing it up meant she had begun to pay attention to his affairs, inadvertently or not, which, all in all, was a good thing.

Yan Bo met Tong Xiaohua’s teasing gaze with a smile, "I am profoundly grateful that Miss places such high regard on me..."

As they spoke, they didn’t stop their stride. Passing by the Yanhuang office, Yan Bo pointed to the doorplate above, "This is my office. If you’re passing by and feel like visiting, you can come straight up. No need to check in at the front desk."

Tong Xiaohua, now with special privileges, didn’t show much reaction but casually nodded.

The two turned a corner in the corridor and stopped in front of a window-facing door, where Yan Bo took out his keys, unlocked the door, and stepped aside to let Tong Xiaohua enter first.

As Tong Xiaohua stepped into the entrance hall, before she had the chance to take a good look at the interior setup, she heard Yan Bo behind her say, "Those light yellow slippers on the shoe cabinet, put them on, they are more comfortable."

Tong Xiaohua didn’t have a cleanliness obsession, but she wasn’t very comfortable with wearing someone else’s slippers, and she was about to say it was fine not to wear any when she noticed that the pair on the cabinet still had its label on, clearly new.

"Aunt Xin picked them up when she went out to buy groceries, just make do with these for now, and next time you can bring a pair you like," he said.

Yan Bo’s words suggested as if Tong Xiaohua would be coming over every day.

"Whatever is fine..."

Although Yan Bo said it was up to her to decide if the nanny would stay or leave, she didn’t dare to truly exercise such privileges, akin to those of the lady of the house.

Yan Bo also felt that he had made his position clear enough for one day, and any more might provoke her annoyance.

"Mmm, give me your bag, I’ll put it away for you!"

Tong Xiaohua took out her mobile phone, then handed over her bag to him.

Aunt Xin, who was busy in the kitchen, came out upon hearing noises.

"Mr. Yan! Miss Tong, hello!"

Clearly, Yan Bo had already briefed her about the guest’s identity that morning.

"Xiao Hua, this is Aunt Xin."

"Hello, Aunt Xin!" Tong Xiaohua greeted Aunt Xin with a smile, following Yan Bo into the living room.

Aunt Xin took the flowers from Yan Bo’s hand and went to fetch a vase, "Mr. Yan, I’ve brewed some flower tea and put it in the fridge, we can eat in about ten minutes."

Yan Bo asked Tong Xiaohua, "What would you like to drink? Flower tea or juice?"

"Flower tea!"

Yan Bo then poured two cups of flower tea and handed one to Tong Xiaohua.

Tong Xiaohua took a sip, "Hmm, it tastes good, what kind of flower tea is this?"

Aunt Xin had just started working that day, and it was also Yan Bo’s first time tasting such flower tea, so he asked Aunt Xin, who had just walked out with the vase, "Aunt Xin, what tea is this?"

"Honeysuckle Tea, it’s good for clearing heat and detoxifying. I thought you young people might be prone to ’internal heat,’ so I brewed some in advance. If Mr. Yan likes it, I can make different kinds in the future."

Before Yan Bo could answer, Tong Xiaohua said, "It’s really tasty, Aunt Xin, tell me how to brew it, I’ll have Uncle Guan make some for me when I get back."

Aunt Xin smiled, "I’ve prepared some extra packets here, Miss Tong, you can take a few when you leave. You can brew or steep them and then add honey or rock sugar to taste."

Tong Xiaohua stuck her tongue out at Yan Bo, saying, "Yan Bo, you don’t mind if I both drink and take some, do you?"

Yan Bo thought to himself, why would I mind? Best of all, I hope you like everything that Aunt Xin makes, eat and drink to your heart’s content!

"Mind what? Just help yourself, besides, didn’t I make myself clear just now?"

Reminded by him, Tong Xiaohua naturally recalled what he had just said about the nanny’s employment.

Because Aunt Xin was present, she didn’t want to reprimand Yan Bo, so she could only roll her eyes at him, signaling him not to talk nonsense.

Yan Bo just shrugged his shoulders with a laugh, offering no reply.
