Chapter 892: Chapter 889 Matters Between Men

Of course, there was also a possibility that Tong Family’s eldest had a lot to say, even objections, that weren’t convenient to voice to his precious daughter, Tong Xiaohua. These would only be brought up face to face with him, the person involved.

And all of this, he had to face; he was willing to resolve and eliminate these issues as soon as possible.

Once he received the affirmation of the Tong Family elders, he also needed to start preparing to take Tong Xiaohua back to meet his parents.

Yan Bo’s seriousness about this relationship, if spoken aloud, might invite laughter to the point of losing teeth.

After all, he was only twenty years old, Tong Xiaohua just eighteen, and the two of them had only confirmed their dating status for a mere ten days or so. Yet, he acted as if he was ready to commit to a lifetime with her.

But Yan Bo really didn’t fear being laughed at!

From the moment he saw clearly into his heart and decided to pursue Tong Xiaohua at all costs, he made two resolutions.

One, if he failed in his pursuit, he and Tong Xiaohua would never have a chance.

Two, as long as she had feelings for him as well, he would stop at nothing to be with her.

So, to put it in old-fashioned terms, he pursued Tong Xiaohua with marriage in mind.

Thus, his far-sighted thinking was quite normal.

...

Six days later, the eldest of the Tong Family returned to L City, and Yan Bo personally drove to the airport with Tong Xiaohua to pick him up.

Of course, given the special status of Tong Family’s eldest, two cars filled with Qin Ming and several bodyguards followed behind Yan Bo’s car all the way.

"Dad, Mom, this is Yan Bo!"

As soon as Tong Xiaohua saw her dad walking out with her mom from the gate, she hurriedly pulled Yan Bo to greet them.

Yan Bo quickly bowed to the two elders, "Uncle Tong, Aunt Tong, hello!"

Since Tong Xiaohua had told him that their relationship had already been reported to her parents, Yan Bo didn’t go into a long introduction of himself in front of a crowd. After respectfully greeting the elders, he took the initiative to carry the light luggage of Tong Family’s eldest and his wife, and then followed them closely out of the airport.

People like Tong Family’s eldest prefer to keep a low profile in public places.

Although Yan Bo came from a different background, his parents and elder brothers, like Tong Family’s eldest, preferred not to linger in public places.

"Boss, which car will you take?" The three cars were parked at the airport entrance, and Qin Ming hurried forward a few steps and opened the door.

Tong Family’s eldest looked at his daughter, then turned to Yan Bo, "Xiao Yan, where is your car?"

Yan Bo pointed to the car parked in front, "Uncle Tong, Aunt Tong, this one here."

He ran ahead to open the car door, gently assisted the couple into the vehicle, and Tong Xiaohua, who had missed her parents dearly, slid into the back seat as well.

"You naughty girl, go sit in the front, don’t you know I don’t like to be crowded!"

Yan Bo thought Tong Family’s eldest was complaining about his car being too small and quickly said, "That’s true, this car is a bit small, I’ll go change it for a larger, more comfortable one another day."

Yan Bo was a practical man, but he was not stingy.

He didn’t skimp when it came to necessary expenses.

The reason he had bought this mid-size sedan was for its economic practicality. But now that he had a girlfriend, and future in-laws, the space in the car did indeed seem a bit too cramped.

"No, Xiao Yan, I didn’t mean that. The car is big enough; I just don’t want that mischievous girl getting in the way of my time alone with your Aunt Tong."

Old Tong didn’t seem to mind Yan Bo’s car at all, and he, of course, wasn’t truly longing for some alone time with his wife. Instead, he wanted the two youngsters to sit in the front row, which would be more convenient for cultivating their relationship.

"Dad, wasn’t I your lover in a past life? Yet in your eyes, there has only ever been mom, hmph!" Tong Xiaohua playfully acted upset as she climbed into the co-pilot seat.

And Tong’s mother, who had been all smiles and said little thus far, finally opened her mouth to scold Old Tong.

"You old man, always saying abroad how you missed the girl and couldn’t sleep, and now, as soon as you’re back, you’re at loggerheads with her. Why trouble yourself?"

Yan Bo glanced at Tong’s delicate and gentle mother through the rearview mirror, and it wasn’t hard to ascertain that the former lady of the Tong family carried herself with a noble and generous air, quite unlike Old Tong.

These two, appearing so different from each other, how did they meet in the first place? And how have they maintained such a sweet relationship over the years?

"Wife, don’t flatter me; my head hurts at the sight of this girl! Luckily, Xiao Yan will shoulder this burden in the future, and I, oh, I can finally relax!"

Yan Bo was slightly taken aback. Was what Old Tong said true or false?

Was he truly, without a hint of hesitation, so confident in handing over his only precious daughter to me?

"Uncle Tong, if you say things like that, Xiao Hua will cry. She’s so well-behaved; I guess she must have never caused you and aunt any trouble, right?"

Yan Bo said jokingly with a smile. He didn’t want to offend his future father-in-law, but neither did he want to see his girlfriend being wronged.

Before Old Tong could speak, Tong’s mother interjected, "I also think Xiao Hua is very easy to raise, but you, you’ve shattered my heart to pieces!"

Tong’s mother’s voice was very soft, but she spoke very rapidly.

Clearly, her mind was still quite alert; it seemed her recovery from surgery was proceeding rather well.

After observing for a while, Yan Bo came to such a conclusion, and his heart eased a little.

And Tong Xiaohua, sitting beside him, seemingly never doubted her parents’ trip abroad, now joined her mother in teasing Old Tong.

"Dad, see, you’re the problem child in mom’s eyes, not me! As for me, I’m the goody two-shoes, right, Yan Bo?"

Although Yan Bo was driving, he still turned his head and smiled at her, "Right, our Xiao Hua is the best-behaved!"

Old Tong clicked his tongue, "You crafty girl, you’re so quick to turn your arm outward, calling in reinforcements, huh?"

Yan Bo carefully observed Old Tong’s expression in the rearview mirror and probed, "As long as Uncle Tong and Aunt Tong give their approval, I wouldn’t count as an outside helper anymore!"

The implication was that with the elders’ approval, he would become one of their own.

A gleam flashed in Old Tong’s eyes as he lifted his head to meet Yan Bo’s gaze in the rearview mirror.

"This matter isn’t just up to us. In principle, as long as you both like each other, we wouldn’t have a say. However, our two families are in special circumstances. Even if you two are in agreement and now I and your Aunt Tong nod our heads, it would only account for a fifty percent chance, wouldn’t it?"

Even though Yan Bo had anticipated the parental aspect, he had only seen it as being prepared for what’s to come.

He had no idea that Old Tong had also thoroughly considered this aspect.

"Uncle Tong, I understand what you mean, and I will arrange things as soon as possible," said Yan Bo.

The two men understood each other, but Tong Xiaohua, hearing the latter part of their conversation, felt as if she had fallen into a cloud of fog.

"Dad, what are you two murmuring about? I don’t understand what you’re saying?"

Old Tong said, "Girl, this is a matter between men, you don’t need to understand!"
