Chapter 900: Chapter 897: He Has Recognized You

Because Mom and Dad were back, Tong Xiaohua naturally wanted to stay home and have dinner with them, so she couldn’t have dinner with Yan Bo these past two evenings.

After dinner, Tong Xiaohua originally planned to go out with Uncle Ming to handle some business.

But Tong’s elder brother insisted she stay at home to keep their mother company, "Ah Ming and I will go, it’s also a good opportunity to check on the results of your work during this period."

Tong’s mother also looked at her daughter with hopeful eyes, seeming to really want her to stay and have a heart-to-heart chat with her.

"Alright then, I will stay home tonight to accompany Mom. Dad, if you see anything unsatisfactory, remember to come back and tell me."

So, Tong’s elder brother went out with Qin Ming, leaving the mother and daughter at home in the Tea House, chatting over tea.

As they talked, Tong Xiaohua suddenly remembered Yan Bo mentioning his interest in the decoration of the Tea Art House.

"Mom, Yan Bo is very interested in those Tea Art Houses at the clubhouse, you should chat with him about it tomorrow when you see him," she said.

Tong’s mother skillfully brewed the tea and looked up with a smile upon hearing this.

"Those were just casual works of mine, he really likes them? Are you sure he’s not just trying to please me?"

Tong Xiaohua thought for a moment, then shook her head in denial.

"Mom, Yan Bo isn’t like that. Besides, he didn’t know at first that you designed the decorations, it was him who asked me to introduce the designer to him. Only then did I mention they were your work, so it’s impossible that it’s just to please you or me."

Her daughter’s eagerness to defend Yan Bo amused Tong’s mother greatly, who watched her with smiling eyes.

Tong Xiaohua, thinking her mother didn’t believe her, quickly added,

"Besides, Yan Bo is not someone to sweet-talk people just to please them."

Now Tong’s mother was even more convinced that her precious daughter was deeply reliant on Yan Bo.

However, fortunately, Yan Bo indeed seemed to be a trustworthy young man.

"Okay, I was just joking. I’ll talk to him tomorrow when I see him," she said.

Tong Xiaohua observed her mother carefully to make sure she wasn’t being dismissive, then happily picked up her cup and took a sip of tea.

"Mom, where have you and Dad been to have fun?"

Tong’s mother casually mentioned a few places she and Tong’s father had visited in the past, to which Tong Xiaohua was a bit surprised, "Haven’t you and Dad been there before?"

Going with the flow, Tong’s mother replied, "Yes, your father and I have reached the age where we like to reminisce about the past. We thought about revisiting those places to re-experience the passion and happiness of earlier times."

Tong Xiaohua enviously and eagerly said, "You and Dad have such a great relationship. After all these years, you still enjoy spending time together, just the two of you."

"Marriage needs to be nurtured, and it also needs romance and excitement. Revisiting old places occasionally will remind us of everything from the past, it’s like falling in love all over again," she replied.

Tong’s mother wasn’t preaching; indeed, these were some of the reasons why after more than twenty years together, she and Tong’s elder brother still shared a sweet bond.

"I really hope that I can be like you and Dad one day..."

Tong Xiaohua stopped mid-sentence, realizing that it was premature for her to talk about these things now.

Her future with Yan Bo was still uncertain, let alone thinking about a lifetime.

However, Tong’s mother didn’t see it that way.

"It will be," Tong Xiaohua said, her cheeks turning red, "Mom, who said I’m with him?"

Her mother added tea to her precious daughter’s cup and put away her smile, speaking very seriously.

"Then you better think it through. I believe Xiao Yan is aiming for a lifetime commitment with you. Otherwise, he wouldn’t bother entertaining your dad, a rash man, nor would he suggest having his elder brother come to visit us right after meeting with us."

In fact, Tong Xiaohua could certainly feel Yan Bo’s intentions, but she always felt in her heart that she and Yan Bo were still too young, and too many uncertain factors lay ahead, which could change everything at any time.

"Mom, we’re still young, talking about the distant future is too early."

Tong’s mother’s expression grew more serious, and she stopped all her movements, reaching out and grasping Tong Xiaohua’s fair hand.

"Girl, you’re wrong about that. A relationship involves both parties. If only one is determined to persist and the other is always hesitating, it’s doomed to fail."

"Since you feel he is worth your love, and he has made up his mind about you, you both should have faith that no matter what happens, you will support each other through it all. Just like me holding your hand, if you insist on letting go, with just my strength alone, there’s no way I can hold on to you."

Tong Xiaohua felt ashamed after being lectured by her mother.

"Mom, I understand!"

Years later, when she finally married Yan Bo with difficulty, she realized that without her mother’s words, she wasn’t sure if she would have the courage to persist with Yan Bo till the end.

"Girl, remember, it’s not easy for any relationship to culminate in success—you need to cherish it, understand?"

Tong Xiaohua nodded heavily and dared not say much more, because she knew her mother had also given up a lot to be with her father.

Even now, her mother never mentioned relatives from her grandparents’ side in front of her.

Tong Xiaohua had tried to find answers from her father, but he had always cautioned her never to bring up this matter in front of her mother.

Since coming back, her mother’s spirits had never been great, but Tong Xiaohua was used to it.

Even before she went abroad, her mother had always been in poor health and had to go to bed at ten o’clock every night.

Therefore, after chatting until ten, Tong Xiaohua urged her mother to go to bed.

Though her mother wanted to talk more with her daughter, she really felt drained and obediently got up to rest in the bedroom.

Tong Xiaohua returned to her bedroom, took a bath, climbed into bed, and then dialed Yan Bo’s phone.

For the past few days, she hadn’t seen Yan Bo and could only maintain their contact through communication tools.

In this matter, she could feel that Yan Bo was a very considerate person. That morning before leaving, he had taken the initiative to encourage Tong Xiaohua to spend more time with her parents in the coming days.

Tong Xiaohua did not know the real reason why her parents had gone abroad, but Yan Bo had learned everything from the data he had investigated, and he was also very aware of her current mother’s health condition.

"Xiao Hua, ready to sleep?"

As soon as the phone connected, Yan Bo’s gentle voice came through.

"Mm, I was just chatting with my mom, took a bath, and now I’m lying in bed. What about you, are you working or in bed?"

Yan Bo was still working overtime in the office. The construction at the villas had already started, and the daily progress and work conditions had to be strictly controlled. Furthermore, Yanhuang was preparing to bid on two large infrastructure projects in L City, piling his work up like a mountain.
