Chapter 886: Chapter 883: Be My Girlfriend!

Yan Bo did have a pile of accusatory questions, but at that moment, seeing her wretched appearance, he found himself unable to utter any of them.

Yan Bo held her tightly, reluctant to let go.

The man who had just been cold and aggressive in the noodle shop across the street now looked completely dependent in his arms, her soft body snuggling tightly against his chest.

The completely relaxed and trusting posture she displayed extinguished Yan Bo’s anger and resentment as if fire had met water, sizzling out instantly.

In his heart, he only wished that the embrace could last longer, preferably forever.

Yet his reason told him that this place was dangerous, and it was not wise to stay for long.

So, he gently stroked her back and coaxed her in a low voice.

"Alright, if there’s nothing, shall I take you back?"

Tong Xiaohua looked at him with a mix of annoyance and complaint, sniffled, blinked, and a bright teardrop rolled down her eyes.

Now, it was Yan Bo’s turn to panic. He awkwardly reached out to wipe her tears but she turned her face away, then buried her wet face into his chest and rubbed it vigorously a few times.

Yan Bo had no experience in comforting girlfriends, but fortunately, having often consoled his mother and sister at home, he took a desperate measure, wrapped his arm around her, turned, opened the co-pilot’s door, and half-pushed, half-carried her into the co-pilot’s seat.

"Be good, I’ll take you home."

While coaxing her, he bent down to fasten her seat belt, and after doing so, looked up to meet her eyes, as red as a rabbit’s.

Yan Bo felt both heartache and amusement, boldly leaned in, and lightly kissed her forehead.

This time, Tong Xiaohua didn’t dodge but just stared at him, wide-eyed and incredulous.

Yan Bo secretly smiled, caressed her face again, then withdrew, closed the door for her, and quickly ran around to the driver’s side, got in the car, started it, and swiftly drove off.

Fearing that Tong Xiaohua might change her mind, Yan Bo drove very quickly, and purposely kept silent, lips pressed together, until they drove out of the alley and onto the main road, at which point he finally took a long breath.

"Xiao Hua, are you alright?"

Yan Bo originally wanted to say, you weren’t scared, were you?

But on second thought, he realized that for Tong Xiaohua, now the head of the Tong Family, the word "scared" was almost an insult.

Tong Xiaohua, still dazed from the forehead kiss and lost in confusion, just shook her head slowly; then she finally remembered that Yan Bo was driving and that the night light wasn’t very good, so he probably couldn’t see her shake her head. So, she answered him, "I’m fine..."

That Brother Shui, she really didn’t take him seriously.

She was embarrassed to say that the person who really scared her was not Brother Shui, but the man beside her, with a face full of concern.

She was afraid he would look down on the real her and worried that he would ignore her from now on.

But how could she possibly say such things out loud?

Hearing that her tone was still muffled with a heavy nasal sound, Yan Bo turned his head to glance at her. Under the night sky, the glance was not clear. Not quite reassured, he checked the surroundings in the rearview mirror to make sure they were safe before slowly pulling the car over to the side.

Surprised, Tong Xiaohua looked at him, not having time to ask him why when suddenly, the inside light turned on, and then his face drew closer.

The dark eyes full of worry and scrutiny moved across her face and body.

"You’re really not hurt?"

He wasn’t certain whether she had been injured before he arrived.

Even a tiny bit of skin damage.

Because he was somewhat anxious, his face got too close, and his hot breath buffeted her face. She instinctively turned her face away, looking out of the car window,

"No..."

Her face felt as if it had been scorched by fire, burning fiercely.

After over an hour of torment, Yan Bo decided he could no longer let her escape.

Reaching out, he touched her face, exerting a little force, he forcibly turned her head to make her look into his eyes.

"Xiao Hua, what are you afraid of?"

He had a rough idea of what she feared in her heart, but he hoped she would confront that fear and be able to tell him in person, to be honest with each other about their feelings.

He wanted her to promise that from now on, there would be no more situations where she doubted him or denied him like today.

"I’m not afraid!"

Under his intense gaze, Tong Xiaohua still stubbornly denied it, yet her tone betrayed her insecurity.

Having spoken, she shrank back further, trying to dodge his penetrating scrutiny and his physical control.

However, Yan Bo refused to let her flee; his hand moved from her face to the back of her head, pulling her face even closer to his own.

"Xiao Hua, tell me, what were you afraid of just now?"

Yan Bo’s tone was very gentle, and the look in his eyes was exceptionally accommodating.

This way of speaking to her, as if coaxing a child, embarrassed Tong Xiaohua but was especially comforting; she lowered her gaze, biting her lip in silence.

Yan Bo waited patiently, showing no sign of impatience.

After who knows how long, Tong Xiaohua finally lifted her eyelids and looked deeply into his eyes.

"Yan Bo, would you despise me, if I were like that?"

Her current vulnerable and pitiful appearance was a stark contrast to the aggressive Tong Xiaohua in the noodle shop facing Brother Shui.

Yan Bo sighed deeply, and without rushing to reply, he lowered his head and devoutly kissed her forehead once more.

Eyes downcast, she met his gaze as she looked up at him.

"Fool..."

Tong Xiaohua had been called a fool by him several times tonight, and finally, she reacted, biting her lip and giving him a glare.

"You’re the fool!"

Yan Bo sighed again, let go of her, and sat back in the driver’s seat.

He didn’t look at her but instead cast his gaze onto the road shimmering under the headlights.

"Xiao Hua, do you think I’m an ignorant primary school student?"

Tong Xiaohua didn’t quite understand the meaning of his words and looked at him sideways, "Hmm?"

"Ever since I saw you at the Boxing Gym, I had someone investigate your identity. To be honest, I was truly startled when I first learned that you’re the Tong Family’s eldest daughter. Because you possess so many qualities that I cherish and obsess over, qualities that I’m not sure are due to your gangster heiress identity."

"I also thought about staying away from you and even made a list for myself, outlining all the bad things that could happen after getting involved with you."

"But I found that, even if these worst-case scenarios filled several sheets of paper, they still couldn’t stop the desire in my heart to get to know you!"

"So, from the moment I appeared at your inauguration cocktail party, I was able to foresee everything today and was prepared for the worst."

"No matter what kind of person you are, I’m willing to move forward or pull back together with you."

"So, Xiao Hua, please, agree to be my girlfriend, will you?"
