Chapter 907: Chapter 904: Are You Willing to Marry into Our Family?

Tong Xiaohua, holding flowers and a bag of items, returned home to find her dad, the eldest of the Tong family, chatting with Qin Ming in the living room. Seeing the flowers in her hand, her father clicked his tongue.

"Tsk, this Yan Bo is quite the romantic!"

Qin Ming looked at Tong’s eldest with amusement, "Big brother, have you forgotten how you pursued your wife with a fresh flower offensive that moved her back in the day?"

Tong Xiaohua had never heard her parents mention this before.

"Uncle Ming, so my dad used to be such a charmer? I always thought my dad was just a rough guy, seems like I’ve wronged my dad!"

Teased by her uncle and daughter, Tong’s eldest wasn’t annoyed, but simply instructed Tong Xiaohua, "Go on, after you’ve arranged the flowers, go keep your mom company. She’s been walking all morning, and her feet are a bit sore. Go massage them for her."

Tong Xiaohua knew that her dad must be discussing something with Uncle Ming that he didn’t want her to know about, hence he specially sent her away.

But she didn’t call her dad out on his trick, obediently carrying the bouquet and those little items she’d bought into the bedroom.

A few minutes later, Tong Xiaohua, holding a pair of panda pillows, pushed open the door to her parents’ bedroom.

"Mom, these two pillows are for you."

Lying in bed, Tong’s mom propped herself up and took the pillows into her arms, her eyes smiling at her daughter.

"Did you go shopping with Xiao Yan?"

In the past, Tong’s mom always complained that Tong’s eldest had raised their precious daughter without a trace of girlishness. She never wore skirts or liked shopping.

Unexpectedly, since falling in love, her daughter seemed to have taken a liking to wearing skirts and to shopping as well.

"Yeah..." Tong Xiaohua’s hand rested on her mom’s leg, "Dad said your legs were a bit sore, lie down, and I’ll knead them for you."

Tong’s mom pulled her hand back, "No need, I’ll ask Brother Du to give me a massage later."

Tong Xiaohua glared at her, "Are you afraid dad will scold you? Forget it, I’ll knead them for you. If that’s really not okay, I’ll find a female technician to come over."

The Brother Du Tong’s mom referred to was the doctor from Tong village, skilled in Chinese medical massage. However, Tong’s eldest never liked the idea of him giving massages to Tong’s mom.

Why?

Jealousy, of course!

Even though Tong’s mom said it wasn’t necessary, Tong Xiaohua had already picked up the phone and instructed the clubhouse manager to send over a female massage therapist with good skills to tend to her mom.

"Mom, why is your face still so pale, haven’t you adjusted to the time difference yet?"

Tong Xiaohua leaned against her mom, her eyes scanning her mom’s face.

She had noticed her mom seemed thinner from the start, and her complexion was worse than before going abroad. She had originally thought it was due to travel fatigue and jet lag not yet reversed.

But several days had passed, and her mom’s complexion showed no signs of improvement.

Tong’s mom touched her own face, "Maybe it’s the lighting? Or possibly, the irregular eating while out has damaged my spleen and stomach. Later, I’ll go see Brother Du and get some Chinese medicine to adjust."

Tong Xiaohua nodded, "Yeah, I think you do need to adjust."

Tong’s mom ruffled her hair and diverted the topic, "Where did you and Xiao Yan go to have fun? Why did you come back so early? Actually, you could have had dinner before coming back, your dad and I aren’t old-fashioned."

"He seems to have a lot of work to do, so I came back first."

Tong Xiaohua was not an unreasonable person. Even though she indeed wished he could spend more time with her, the thought of the pile of documents on his desk prevented her from being capricious.

Tong’s mother nodded her head in admiration, "Yes, getting started is the hardest part, especially for someone like him who went to a different place to make a living."

"That’s right, his company is one of L City’s key enterprises this year, with a large scale and advanced management model. As the boss, how could he not work hard?"

Tong Xiaohua’s feelings for Yan Bo began with admiration, and even now that they had become lovers, that admiration did not fade but grew deeper instead.

Because Yan Bo was the kind of man who became more compelling and charming the more you got to know him.

"At first, when your father mentioned him, he said he was only twenty, I couldn’t help but mutter to myself, a twenty-year-old man, hardly grown his own hair, how could he know how to be affectionate? It was only after meeting him that I realized he is even more capable and composed than many thirty-year-old men."

Tong’s mother seemed to like Yan Bo, her future son-in-law, more and more as she looked at him.

Tong Xiaohua smiled and reached out to wipe her mother’s mouth, "Mom, wipe off your drool."

Tong’s mother glared at her reproachfully, "Go ahead and make fun of me! And here I was, speaking well of you to your father this morning."

"Speaking well? What about?"

Tong Xiaohua was very curious since she didn’t feel her father had any dissatisfaction with her.

She believed she handled both work and home affairs quite well.

"I told your dad that you’re grown up now, and if you want, you can find an apartment to live in outside, it’s okay not to live with us."

Tong’s mother was quite progressive in this regard, knowing her daughter needed her own space. But if she continued living in Tong village, not to mention being under the constant control of her father Tong Laoda, even Qin Ming and her other granduncles would occasionally interfere in her life.

Her daughter had always been well-behaved from childhood, never went through any rebellious phase, and because she was so obedient, it made Tong’s mother even more distressed.

However, Tong Xiaohua had never considered moving out.

She hugged her mother and buried her head in her embrace, acting like a spoiled child.

"Mom, are you saying that I’m in the way of you and dad having your alone time?"

Tong’s mother felt a mix of annoyance and amusement, patting her back as she scolded, "You ungrateful girl, I’m doing this for you, and you’re turning it around on me?"

Tong Xiaohua rubbed against her mother’s embrace, not lifting her flushed face for a long time, "Mom, I’m not moving out. I’ll just stick to you guys, hmph!"

As she spoke, Tong Xiaohua held her mother tightly, for some reason always feeling that if she let go, her mother would run away.

"Besides, with my status, moving out would bring about many headaches with security, right?"

Unless absolutely necessary, Tong Laoda would never stay outside overnight, and Tong Xiaohua felt similarly insecure about external environments.

Seeing her daughter’s determination, Tong’s mother gave up persuading her and simply said, "Okay then, whenever you want to move out, just tell mom, and I’ll take care of convincing your dad for you."

"Mom, that day will never come."

She said, and buried her head into her mother’s embrace again.

Tong’s mother laughed as she tousled her hair, "Silly girl, how can that day not come? What about when you get married?"

Tong Xiaohua snorted, "I’m not getting married. Whoever wants to marry me can just move into our family!"

Tong’s mother laughed again, "Hahaha, why don’t you go ask Xiao Yan if he’s willing to move into our family?"

Tong Xiaohua pouted, "Mom, who said it has to be him?"
