Chapter 888: Chapter 885 Goodnight, My Baby

Tong Xiaohua was startled, but when she turned around, she saw Uncle Yuan standing behind her, looking at her with a smirking smile.

Patting her chest, Tong Xiaohua said, "Uncle Yuan, you almost scared me to death!"

Uncle Yuan chuckled, "How could that be, your nerves must be made of steel!"

Tong Xiaohua rolled her eyes, then heard Uncle Yuan ask, "Or is it that you did something unspeakable, and that’s why you’re so easily frightened?"

Tong Xiaohua quickly shook her head, "No, nothing of the sort!"

With that, she took off her shoes and went barefoot into the living room.

The house had recently gotten a new imported carpet, thick and soft to the touch, which actually felt quite nice under bare feet.

But Uncle Yuan, all smiles as he watched Tong Xiaohua’s retreating figure, knew it wasn’t because she was comfortable without shoes; she was embarrassed.

The doors of the mansion were glass in the middle, and one could see everything clearly from the entrance hall.

Of course, Uncle Yuan wasn’t trying to spy; he had run out to greet the young Miss upon hearing the car, only to accidentally witness Yan Bo carrying the young Miss of the house.

Inwardly, Uncle Yuan sighed to himself, women really do grow up fast. It seemed in the blink of an eye, the little baby girl had become a young lady ready to be married off at any moment.

"Xiao Hua, weren’t you going to the North City Bank with Uncle Ming? How come it was Third Young Master Yan who brought you back?"

Uncle Yuan followed her into the house, holding her slippers in his hand.

Tong Xiaohua went over to the fridge and grabbed a bottle of water, tilting her head back to gulp down most of it and quench her thirst, before finally turning to look at Uncle Yuan.

"Yeah, I had dinner at his place, then went straight to North City from there."

"He took you there?" Uncle Yuan was very surprised.

"No, the driver took me!"

It was only upon saying this that Tong Xiaohua suddenly realized—how had he found her?

Could it be that he had followed her all the way there?

But judging by the time, that didn’t seem likely.

"Then how did he find you?"

Uncle Yuan knew that the noodle shop was not easy to find.

"I don’t know..." Tong Xiaohua shook her head, puzzled.

It seemed that Yan Bo was more concerned about her than she had assumed!

"Xiao Hua, this Third Young Master Yan is no simple man!"

Uncle Yuan’s comment carried no particular praise or criticism; he was merely stating a fact.

Chewing on the bottle, Tong Xiaohua thought it over and had to agree with Uncle Yuan.

"Yes, he is indeed extraordinary."

She didn’t know through what other means he had found the exact location, but one thing was for sure—a regular person would not have been able to find that place.

It just showed that he had really put a lot of thought into her.

And tonight, he probably was as frightened as he claimed, all because of her.

"Xiao Hua, don’t you want to find out more about him before making any decisions?"

It wasn’t that Uncle Yuan disapproved of Yan Bo, but he was considering the matter from a cautious perspective.

Uncle Yuan didn’t know much about Yan Bo, but he had heard from Qin Ming that this Third Young Master Yan was someone in L City whom no one dared to offend.

Clearly, his background was that of great wealth and privilege, perhaps even surpassing the top ten families in L City.

"Uncle Yuan, I’m not going to marry him, is that really necessary?"

Tong Xiaohua knew very well that, whether it be Yan Bo himself or his family background, neither was simple.

But what she cared about was the person himself, and not what kind of family he came from; she even didn’t care about what he had done in the past.

Just like Yan Bo liked her, to the point where he didn’t care about her background, nor did he care about what she had done, was doing, or would do in the future.

Uncle Yuan thought for a moment, and realized she was right: the young miss of the family was only eighteen years old, and even if she was really hitting it off with Young Master Yan Bo now, it didn’t mean the two of them would definitely end up together in the future.

After all, whether it’s the young miss or that third Young Master, they were both too young, and too many variables could affect the future.

"Hmm, it was just me worrying too much."

After Tong Xiaohua finished drinking the water and whooshed the bottle into the trash can in the corner, Uncle Yuan considerately asked, "Do you want a midnight snack? Should I have someone cook for you?"

Tong Xiaohua shook her head, "No thanks, I’m going to take a bath and then off to sleep!"

Back in the bedroom, Tong Xiaohua heeded Yan Bo’s advice and filled the bathtub with water, submerging herself in the warm liquid, her head resting against the side of the tub, as a mist began to curl before her eyes.

Recalling everything that had happened over an hour ago, Tong Xiaohua felt like she was in a dream.

And it was a dream so wonderful she didn’t want to wake up from.

Before meeting Yan Bo, Tong Xiaohua had never harbored any fantasies about love.

Although, her dad and mom were very much in love, with a strong relationship that persisted.

However, the boys her age or a few years older who appeared around her were either the rough men from Tong village or the effeminate, frail boys at school.

Neither type could spark any romantic impulse in her.

It’s said that girls have their dreams of spring, but she didn’t know what that felt like until her eighteenth birthday.

However, the arrival of Yan Bo finally gave her a taste of that bittersweet feeling of love, that desire to resist yet an inability to prevent herself from falling.

I have a boyfriend now!

Thinking this, Tong Xiaohua couldn’t help but smile.

She hummed a string of vague melodies, blending with the sound of running water, echoing back and forth in the confined space of the bathroom.

She hummed tirelessly for a long time, then suddenly recalled that this tune was the "Little Serenade" she had heard looping over and over in his car just then.

Tong Xiaohua swore that before this, she had never heard this piece, but because Yan Bo had been playing it all the way back, even while she was asleep, her subconscious had memorized the entire melody.

Thinking about it, wasn’t this their love song?

Tong Xiaohua thought cheerfully, determining to ask him the name of this tune tomorrow.

At this moment, Tong Xiaohua had left all the conflicts and displeasures of the bank far behind her.

When she went to bed, she picked up her mobile phone, unsurprised to find no messages or missed calls, because he was still on his way home.

"I’ve finished bathing and am off to bed now; be careful on the road, good night!"

After sending the message, Tong Xiaohua placed the phone on the bedside cabinet. At first, she thought about waiting to see if Yan Bo would reply.

But after being on edge all night, once she relaxed, willpower faded; resting her head on the soft pillow, her consciousness slowly blurred, not quite knowing herself when she had drifted off.

When she opened her eyes, it was already the next morning.

With her consciousness just waking up, and without yet leaving her bed, she reached out to grab her phone from the bedside cabinet.

As expected, there was an unread message in the phone, and the sender, naturally, was Yan Bo.

"Just two more blocks and I’ll be home. Good night, my baby!"

Upon reading the end, Tong Xiaohua’s face flushed red in an instant.
