Chapter 913: Chapter 910: Would you like to come in and sit?

Tong Lao Da’s questioning even Tong Xiaohua could hear, yet Yan Bo’s expression remained calm, showing no hint of lying.

"Uncle Tong, on this business trip, apart from the company’s affairs, I also helped out a friend in passing. He wanted to pay me for my help, but I happened to like his teapot, so I asked for it instead, and that’s all there is to it."

Yan Bo patiently explained, and upon finishing, seeing that Tong Lao Da’s brows remained furrowed, apparently unconvinced, he added, "The client he was dealing with was very troublesome, but it so happened that this client was my partner from my days starting a business abroad. I went and mediated for them, and once the business was settled, he gave me this teapot, and it was no loss for him."

Clearly, it was a very large deal, and Yan Bo did not seem to be lying.

"Then I must thank you, Xiao Yan, I really do like this teapot a lot, but since we’re all family now, I won’t bring up money. The last time I heard from Xiao Hua that you would like to design an ancient-style tea house, I’ve been thinking it over seriously, to see if I could come up with a few designs."

Yan Bo was overjoyed; he hadn’t forgotten about this matter, but seeing Shen Weiyao’s health wasn’t that good, he hadn’t dared to mention it.

"Auntie Tong, then I’m grateful in advance! But I’m not in a hurry, you can take your time, it’s okay, I can wait."

Although he really wanted to create a refined and elegant tea house for his mother, he also had to consider his future mother-in-law’s health, right?

When Tong Lao Da heard Shen Weiyao mention drawing up designs, his face turned sullen. Now, hearing Yan Bo say this, he quickly also advised, "Xiao Yao, you haven’t fully recovered yet, you shouldn’t overwork..."

In front of his daughter and Yan Bo, Tong Lao Da dared not speak too clearly.

His own daughter was slow in this aspect, but Yan Bo was quite the elf.

Little did Tong Lao Da know that Yan Bo had already been aware of Shen Weiyao’s illness even before they returned to the country. He never brought it up, only because he didn’t want Tong Xiaohua to be saddened.

"Mom, Dad and Yan Bo are right. Just consider it as casually drawing when you’re free, but don’t overexert yourself."

Shen Weiyao felt somewhat helpless about becoming everyone’s protective focus without realizing it, but she also understood that if she didn’t agree, they probably wouldn’t even let her touch a pen, let alone produce a few designs.

"All right, I promise you all, right? I will act within my limits!"

She cherished her life very much, especially now that her daughter was dating, she wanted to see her grandchildren born.

Thus, the father and daughter finally let Shen Weiyao be.

Tong Lao Da casually ate a few dumplings, then stood up, intending to help Mrs. Tong return to the bedroom to rest.

Yan Bo bid the Tong family good night with Tong Xiaohua, then continued to stay for the midnight snack.

"Did you find tonight’s midnight snack to be slightly tastier?"

Only after her parents left did Tong Xiaohua ask Yan Bo.

"Indeed, did Uncle Guan take a leave?"

"Yes, Uncle Guan’s mother in the countryside has fallen ill. He went back to visit her yesterday, and it’ll probably take a few days before he returns."

Then, Tong Xiaohua mentioned some things that happened at the Tong Family while Yan Bo was away, and like usual, Yan Bo listened very seriously, occasionally giving his opinion or asking a couple of questions, but without any intention of interfering too much.

As they talked, Tong Xiaohua even began to discuss the sauna renovations.

"My dad thinks I’m being too lenient with Li Lin. He’s always worried about the sauna matter, fearing that Li Lin might take the opportunity to cheat me again. What do you think?"

This was something that Yan Bo found difficult to determine immediately.

After all, Tong Lao Da had been managing for so many years and had his own set of management methods.

And Tong Xiaohua, only appointed a few months ago, clearly found Tong Lao Da’s management methods unsuitable to apply. As for what methods were suitable for Tong Xiaohua, only she would know after putting them into practice and making adjustments.

"Xiao Hua, if you believe it’s right, then go ahead with confidence."

Anyway, he was always silently watching her back, and this time, even if Li Lin dared, he guaranteed that Li wouldn’t be able to come up with any new tricks.

As a competent eldest brother, Tong was obviously not as thoughtful as Yan Bo, so he didn’t understand that his precious daughter now, in addition to establishing her authority in front of the Tong family’s brothers, also needed her family’s confirmation and support.

In the future, she might become very strong, but the her of now indeed still needed more support to grow step by step.

These things, Tong as the eldest subconsciously knew, but when it came to acting on them, he wasn’t as meticulous and considerate as Yan Bo.

Although Tong Xiaohua was somewhat disheartened by her dad, she had received confirmation and encouragement from Yan Bo and her wavering beliefs were firmly put back in place.

"Yeah, I’ll be careful to watch his movements, and if anything is wrong, I’ll immediately take him down."

As the two chatted, their midnight snack ended up lasting over an hour.

Uncle Yuan seemed to understand that a couple separated for several days would have a lot to share intimately, so he tactfully stayed away the entire time.

After the two had eaten their fill and left the dining room, Uncle Yuan then instructed the servants to clean up.

The guest room where Yan Bo was staying was at the end of the corridor around the corner, which was quite far from Tong Xiaohua’s bedroom. Her bedroom, on the other hand, was not far from the living room.

Yan Bo escorted her to the bedroom door and stopped.

Tong Xiaohua checked the time, it was past eleven o’clock, which was a time they normally hadn’t gone to bed yet.

She hesitated for a moment, and finally pointed at her room door and asked.

"Do you want to... come in and sit for a bit?"

Yan Bo’s face showed joy, "Can I?"

Being able to stay at her house was already delightful enough for him, but to think that she would take the initiative to invite him into her bedroom?

Of course, he was well aware that Tong Xiaohua was simply asking him to sit and had no other implications or suggestions.

But even so, that was already very satisfying for him.

"Yeah, it’s fine to come in and sit," she said.

Even though it was she who had brought it up, Tong Xiaohua suddenly became nervous, her palms sweating.

Yan Bo nodded, "Then I’ll sit for a while, I won’t stay long, as everyone has to get up early tomorrow."

Yan Bo seemed to be assuring her of something, but in reality, he was also covertly reminding himself not to harbor improper thoughts.

He was a vigorous young man, and it was normal for him to have thoughts about being invited into his girlfriend’s bedroom.

But he couldn’t indulge those thoughts, nor could he let them be incorrect, because the time wasn’t right for him and her.

Tong Xiaohua quietly wiped the sweat from her palms onto the hem of her clothes, reached out, and grasped the doorknob; the door clicked open in response.

Tong Xiaohua stepped aside to let Yan Bo enter first.

"Go ahead... Would you like anything to drink?" she followed him in, nervous and somewhat at a loss for words.

Yan Bo glanced at her, taking in her nervousness, "Let’s leave the door open, for some fresh air."

Yan Bo understood that by doing so, not only could he ease her mind, but also assure Uncle Yuan and his future in-laws.
