Chapter 905: Chapter 902: My Determination Is Not Enough

Unable to resist, he lowered his head and rubbed his forehead against hers, confessing honestly.

"Silly, it’s not your fault, it’s just that my self-control isn’t strong enough, it has nothing to do with you."

As a result, Tong Xiaohua’s face became even more puzzled, her brows almost knotting together.

"Self-control?"

Despite frequently entering and exiting places like bars, KTVs, and night clubs, and mingling with rough men, her mind harbored pitifully little adult knowledge.

This could be attributed to the head of the Tong Family, who had always strictly warned his subordinates not to use foul or coarse language in front of his wife and daughter!

That’s also why, after Yan Bo found out the truth that Tong Xiaohua was the gangster’s daughter, he doubted for quite a while.

After all, he could not see the roughness and shrewdness characteristic of that class in her.

"Forget it, when you’re a bit older, we’ll discuss this topic!"

Yan Bo, holding her, strode out of the office, while Tong Xiaohua felt a sense of humiliation at being looked down upon.

"Hey!"

The two entered the elevator, and Yan Bo let go of her, finally unable to hold back her protest.

"Hmm?" Yan Bo turned his head to meet her dissatisfied face, and couldn’t help but curl his lips up again.

"What do you mean, ’when I’m a bit older’? I’m eighteen, I’m an adult."

In front of her brothers in the Tong Family, Tong Xiaohua would never ask such juvenile questions. If anyone dared to say she wasn’t grown up, she would challenge them on the spot—shooting, boxing, martial arts—any one of them would be enough for her to silence those who underestimated her.

But Yan Bo was not like those brothers; in front of Yan Bo, Tong Xiaohua indeed often felt that she hadn’t grown up and seemed significantly shorter, and it was precisely because of this that she would so childishly rebut and emphasize.

Yan Bo thought to himself, yes, you’ve grown up, you’re an adult now, but I still can’t talk dirty to you, otherwise, I’m afraid your father will flay me alive and pull out my tendons.

But his mouth spoke soothingly, "Silly, in my eyes, you will still be a little girl even when you’re eighty, isn’t that a good thing?"

Tong Xiaohua pouted, "Hmph, what’s so good about that?"

"You need to think carefully, ah, when you’re eighty, you can still act like a little girl in front of me, throw tantrums, and be unreasonable, isn’t that good?"

Tong Xiaohua snorted again, "I’m not throwing tantrums or being unreasonable in front of you now, and when I’m eighty, I definitely won’t be."

The doors of the elevator opened at this moment, and Yan Bo pulled her out towards the lobby, heading for the main entrance.

"Just because you won’t now, doesn’t mean you won’t in the future. Anyway, this is a privilege I’m giving you, you better remember it well!"

At this moment, Tong Xiaohua couldn’t appreciate that if a man could tolerate her tantrums and unreasonable behavior from the start of their romance until she reached eighty years old, in reality, it was a very romantic thing.

"Alright, I’ve got it, where are we going now?"

Tong Xiaohua, led by Yan Bo, was taken out through the main entrance and, seeing the busy main road filled with traffic, she finally realized that from the time she was led by the hand from his office, she hadn’t thought about where they were going, just contentedly letting him lead her out.

If he wanted to abduct her and sell her off, it would be effortless for him.

"No particular place, just wandering around," Yan Bo said naturally, leading her by the hand onto the sidewalk.

Turning to look at her, he saw a pondering expression suddenly on her face, which made him curious.

"What’s wrong?"

Tong Xiaohua had already put up her defenses against Yan Bo.

"Nothing much," she replied, "I just suddenly realized that I seem to have no sense of crisis towards you at all. If you wanted to kidnap and sell me, it would be effortless."

Yan Bo found the girl becoming more and more adorable for her frankness, and his mood was lifted by her absolute trust in him.

He gripped her hand tighter, intertwining his fingers with hers one by one.

"You’re so beautiful, so wonderful, how could I bear to sell you? I just wish I could turn you into a little ball of fluff and carry you around in my pocket all day," Yan Bo said, "When I’m busy, you could sleep against my chest, and when I’m free, I’d take you out and cherish you in the palm of my hand."

Yan Bo said this tenderly, his deep and unfathomable eyes unblinkingly fixed on her.

Tong Xiaohua felt her ears burn under his gaze and turned her face away with a low murmuring of embarrassment, "Don’t be so cheesy..."

This man, eh, wasn’t just handsome in a simple way.

His words were as if coated with honey. Was he trying to sweet-talk her to death?

Yan Bo didn’t say anything further but held tightly onto her hand, walking slowly and aimlessly down the sidewalk.

To him, those were all honest thoughts from the heart. Whether they were cheesy or not, he didn’t know, but he did know, just like she had opened her heart to him without any guards, he also wanted to lay open his feelings to her, completely.

On account of it being Sunday, there weren’t many vehicles on the street, and the area was dense with office buildings, so the working crowd was off for the day, leaving the sidewalks sparsely populated.

At this moment, the only people in sight on this particular sidewalk were the two of them.

Neither of them spoke or looked at each other, but they walked hand in hand, their intertwining fingers swinging slowly, their footsteps and the rustling of the wind through the trees forming a disjointed, rhythmic soundtrack, punctuated by the occasional sound of a car speeding past.

The world seemed to have left only them, and this long, straight sidewalk appeared to stretch on endlessly.

At this moment, neither Yan Bo nor Tong Xiaohua had any stray thoughts in their minds; they simply wished that this road would go on and on forever. How wonderful that would be!

The two walked in silence, not knowing how long, until finally, they came upon a shop that had just opened. A young man was bending over to place a large bucket of colorful roses at the entrance.

Yan Bo’s eyes sparkled with delight as he led Tong Xiaohua over with a quick tug of her hand.

"Handsome guy, buying flowers for your girlfriend?"

The young man, hearing their footsteps, straightened up and greeted them with a smile.

Tong Xiaohua felt a bit reserved because, after all, she hadn’t gotten used to being publicly paired up with Yan Bo.

But Yan Bo, holding her hand, stopped at the entrance and affirmed, "Yes!"

After responding to the young man, Yan Bo turned to Tong Xiaohua, "Take a look, which flowers do you like?"

He had given her many flowers before, but she had never explicitly stated her preference. Now in front of her, it was natural for him to seek her opinion.

Tong Xiaohua’s cheeks were slightly flushed; perhaps it was from the walk they had taken.

"It doesn’t matter, I like them all," she genuinely hadn’t considered which flowers she liked most because, up until two or three months ago, she had never even received flowers.

Yan Bo examined her closely to make sure she wasn’t lying, then said to the young man, "Then trouble you for 9 red roses, please!"

Tong Xiaohua glanced at the roses in the bucket and said, "The white ones, I like white!"
