Chapter 896: Chapter 893 He is Jealous, Envious

However, listening to Tong Xiaohua defend him in such a manner brought Yan Bo great joy.

But being inebriated, he couldn’t allow himself to express too much enthusiasm.

He could only pretend to murmur vaguely, "Oh," and deliberately leaned his body closer to hers, tilting his head to gently rest it on her shoulder.

There was a faint, fresh scent about her that made him want to bury his head deep into the nape of her neck and sleep like that.

Of course, he understood that such thoughts were overly indulgent. After all, their relationship had just begun, and out of respect, he decided to follow the established pace properly. He was afraid that any overly intimate gestures might frighten her.

He surmised that the French kiss they had just shared had already scared her quite a bit.

Moreover, he was worried that if he went too far, it would make it even more difficult to get past Tong Xiaohua’s father.

Tong Xiaohua had no idea of all the thoughts running through his mind, nor did she know he wasn’t truly drunk. She simply felt sorry for him having to drink so much on account of her father, so even though his body was heavy, she didn’t have the heart to push him away; she just let him lean on her.

After he finally finished the hangover tea after quite a while, she took the cup from his hand, placed it on the bedside cabinet, then gently helped him to lie down again, covered him with a blanket, and sat by the bed for a moment.

She bent over to take a good look at him, touched his face, and whispered good night softly before standing up to leave.

Yan Bo, who had been holding back with difficulty, felt her presence fading away as the door closed behind her with a "bang," and only then dared he open his eyes.

Alone in the room, he felt surrounded by Tong Xiaohua’s presence, and oddly, he couldn’t smell any alcohol on himself.

Lying in bed, he slowly savored the taste of the stolen kiss again, and the more he did so, the more his blood began to boil, as if he was on fire.

Though he had never been in love before, he was no naïve fool and was aware of some basic physiological knowledge.

Of course, in the past, whenever he found himself in such a situation, he could resolve it on his own.

But tonight, the fire inside him burned particularly fiercely. He lay on the bed, took several deep breaths in an attempt to quench the flame, but to no avail.

Eventually, with no other option, he got out of bed, showered in cold water for nearly half an hour in the bathroom, and only then managed to forcefully suppress the fire inside him.

Luckily, it was early autumn and the weather was just a bit cool. Plus, with his good constitution, taking a cold shower wasn’t a big deal for him.

After extinguishing that inner fire, he lay down again and dared not dwell on his intimate thoughts with Tong Xiaohua for fear of losing his self-control and reigniting the flames he had just managed to put out.

Yan Bo, who was left in the guest room, went through these events without Tong Xiaohua’s knowledge, as she had already left.

After returning to her room and taking a shower, she worried about him but felt too shy to go check on him in the guest room. She tossed and turned in bed for a while, then heard a knock at the door.

"Xiao Hua, are you asleep?" It was her mother’s voice.

Tong Xiaohua quickly got up to open the door, "Mom, why aren’t you sleeping? Aren’t you tired?"

Tong’s mother took her hand, walked in, and casually closed the door behind them.

"Can I sleep with you tonight, mom?"

Before Tong’s mother went abroad, occasionally, mother and daughter would sleep together and have quiet chats.

"I don’t mind, but would Dad agree?"

Tong Xiaohua also wanted to hear about her mother’s experiences lately, but she feared being scolded by her father.

"You silly girl, your father and I have been together for so long, what’s there to agree or disagree about? It’s not like you and Xiao Yan who are still in your honeymoon phase."

Mom Tong pulled her over to the bed, not forgetting to tease her about being forcefully kissed by Yan Bo.

"Mom, even you’re making fun of me?"

Tong Xiaohua cuddled against her mother, having been apart for a while, she really missed her.

"It’s not making fun, I’m happy for you."

The mother and daughter climbed onto the bed, dimmed the bedside lamp a bit, and then lay down facing each other.

"Xiao Hua, to tell you the truth, Xiao Yan is a really great guy, much more reliable than those boys from the Tong Family village!"

Tong Xiaohua’s face turned slightly red, thankfully the light was too dim for her mother to see clearly.

"Mom, Dad would be upset if he heard you say that," said Tong Xiaohua, her voice laced with amusement.

"Upset about what? He admits it too, that those fellows from Tong Family village are rough around the edges, not many of them are presentable. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have insisted on passing the Tong Family’s responsibilities onto you."

Even now, Mom Tong was still indignant about Dad Tong’s insistence on entrusting the family affairs to her daughter.

"Mom, I’m Dad’s only daughter, taking over for the Tong Family is only natural. Let’s not blame Dad anymore. Besides, I’m doing quite well now, aren’t I?"

Mom Tong sighed, "Well, since there’s no turning back now, let’s not dwell on it and hurt our feelings."

Tong Xiaohua then steered the conversation back to Yan Bo, "Mom, has Dad expressed any dissatisfaction or had any criticism of Yan Bo?"

After all, she also wanted to know her parents’ real opinions of Yan Bo.

"Him? Your dad both admires and likes Xiao Yan, but he’s also very jealous, so he’s being a bit petulant!"

Mom Tong didn’t mention that she couldn’t stand Dad Tong’s sullen behavior, which was why she came to sleep with her daughter.

Tong Xiaohua was a bit confused, "Jealous? Dad’s jealous of Yan Bo? That’s really strange, Dad’s the famous Dad Tong who claims to be the ’Numero Uno’ who fears neither heaven nor earth!"

Mom Tong was amused by her daughter’s words and laughed for a while before saying, "Of course he’s jealous! Think about it, you’re his precious daughter. All these years, aside from being a bit strict with your training, he’s been nothing but good to you. So, he also hopes to be the most precious man in your life. Now, all of a sudden, Xiao Yan comes along, and you don’t realize that from this afternoon until just now, your eyes were always on Xiao Yan. It would have been odd if your dad wasn’t jealous and didn’t feel a bit upset."

Pfft!

It dawned on Tong Xiaohua that all of her father’s odd and excessive behavior today stemmed from jealousy and envy!

And here she was worried that her father might have had some dissatisfaction or dislike for Yan Bo.

Turns out, after all that fuss, it was because he was too satisfied, unable to find any faults, that he acted so awkwardly and strangely, allowing Yan Bo to be intoxicated by those brothers of his.

"Mom, now that you put it that way, I find that Dad was quite like a child tonight!"
