Chapter 916: Chapter 913: Rest Assured to Entrust

Shen Weiyao got up around six in the morning and stood outside Tong Xiaohua’s door, knocking.

"Big sister, Miss and Yan’s third Young Master went out for a morning run together."

Shen Weiyao was startled at first but then smiled and shook her head, "Indeed the young ones, full of energy."

The eldest Tong, just coming out of the bedroom, clueless, came over and wrapped his arm around Shen Weiyao, "Who are you talking about having so much energy this early in the morning?"

Shen Weiyao leaned on him lightly, smiling, "Xiao Hua and Xiao Yan, they went out for a morning run early."

The eldest Tong, holding onto her carelessly as they walked to the living room, commented, "Young people, just too much energy."

By the time the two young ones, brimming with energy, returned from their run, Mr. and Mrs. Tong had already finished breakfast and were sitting in the living room chatting.

"Aunt Tong, Granny Tong, good morning!"

"Dad, Mom, good morning!"

Yan Bo and Tong Xiaohua greeted the couple in unison, drenched in sweat as they hurried back to their respective rooms to take showers.

Shen Weiyao watched their young figures curiously, "Where do you think they ran off to? It’s so chilly, yet they’re sweating profusely."

The eldest Tong, casually flipping through the newspaper, wasn’t particularly interested in her question, and answered offhandedly, "Probably competing!"

Shen Weiyao thought about it and it made sense. But soon, she began to worry.

"What if Xiao Yan loses to Xiao Hua, wouldn’t that be very embarrassing?"

Shen Weiyao didn’t know much about Yan Bo’s background; she only knew that her precious daughter was adept in many skills, and there weren’t many among the younger generation of the Tong Family who could beat her. Yan Bo might be tall and strong, but after all, he was just a businessman, presumably no match for her daughter.

The eldest Tong, still focused on his newspaper, replied to her, "You’re overthinking it!"

Shen Weiyao didn’t quite grasp what he meant, "Hmm? Isn’t that so? Think about it, if I raced you without giving in and I won, wouldn’t you feel embarrassed?"

The eldest Tong flipped the newspaper to the other side, "Yan Bo won’t lose..."

Shen Weiyao didn’t know where his confidence came from, "That’s not necessarily the case, you know. Look at all the young guys in our Tong Family, they still lose to Xiao Hua, right? Xiao Yan might be tall, but with his gentle demeanor, it’s not surprising if he loses a little."

The eldest Tong listened to her long spiel, glanced up at her, "Yan Bo isn’t what you think, anyway, I’m saying he won’t lose."

The eldest Tong had always been proud of his daughter’s skills, so why was he suddenly boosting someone else’s morale while dampening his own?

"You’re acting strange today, why are you so sure? Have you seen them racing before?"

"How could I have?" The usually impatient eldest Tong buried his head back in the newspaper. "Yan Bo is much more skilled than Xiao Hua. In endurance sports like running, how could Xiao Hua possibly win him?"

Initially, the eldest Tong didn’t dig too deep into Yan Bo’s background, only knowing that he was the youngest son of the old Yan Family in the Capital City.

Latter, since Qin Ming saw that Yan Bo was pursuing Tong Xiaohua quite persistently, he had people investigate Yan Bo’s history.

However, the old Yan Family had kept a very tight lid on their Young Master’s information, and most of what Qin Ming managed to find out pertained to Yan Bo’s experiences abroad.

This included Yan Bo’s participation in some international Sanda competitions and shooting contests during his studies abroad, where he won awards.

Even though the eldest Tong always felt that his daughter was unmatched in her skills, in this world, there’s always someone better, and Yan Bo, it seemed, was that higher mountain compared to his daughter.

So, even though the eldest Tong had been cool towards Yan Bo for many days since his return, truly, he felt reassured about entrusting his daughter to someone like Yan Bo.

Shen Weiyao looked at him earnestly, "How do you know that?"

Old Tong lifted his eyelids and glanced at her, saying dismissively, "Would I let anyone just walk into our house without thoroughly investigating them?"

It seems that this Yan Bo is quite impressive. After all, it’s been only a half month since he became my daughter’s boyfriend, right? He has already gained the approval of the elders and quickly made his way into the family, although they are sleeping in separate rooms, his speed is still remarkable.

Shen Weiyao’s eyes were wide open as she stared at Old Tong, "Do you know all about Yan Family’s affairs?"

Old Tong neither nodded nor shook his head, speaking evasively, "Xiao Yan mentioned it too, didn’t he? His elder brother also talked about some of it that day. It was all the same as what the two brothers said."

Even when in Capital City, Yan Bo and Yan Yuan always kept a low profile. Hence, when Yan Yuan mentioned his work to Shen Weiyao that day, he simply said he worked at a governmental department in the neighboring city.

About their father, the two brothers only mentioned that he was an official.

Shen Weiyao thought that the term ’official’ probably referred to someone like a section chief or a minor chief at a local agency.

Little did she know, the brothers’ father was actually a high-ranking official well-known to the common folk of the nation.

Old Tong didn’t clarify things with his wife because he didn’t want her to worry needlessly.

And once again, Shen Weiyao was bamboozled by Old Tong’s words.

"Dad, Mom, have you had breakfast yet?"

Tong Xiaohua, who had just finished showering, carelessly tied her long hair into a slanted braid, looking refreshingly neat as she walked over, wrapping her arms around her mother’s neck, resting her head on her shoulder.

Tong’s mother patted her hand, "Mmm, we’ve eaten. You and Xiao Yan go have your breakfast, then get ready. We’ll leave around nine o’clock."

As mother and daughter were talking, Yan Bo also walked in from the corridor.

"Xiao Yan, were you and Xiao Hua racing just now?"

Yan Bo looked at her in surprise, "Yes, Aunt Tong, how did you know?"

Yan Bo certainly had no intention of competing with Tong Xiaohua. It was the little girl who, with a disgruntled face, insisted on a showdown with him.

Although Yan Bo felt compelled to race with her, he knew well that with the physical differences between men and women, if they really raced with all their might, Tong Xiaohua would definitely be at a disadvantage.

Just when he thought about going easy on her, Tong Xiaohua warned him that if he did, she wouldn’t see him for a week.

Resigned, Yan Bo humorously raced several rounds with her, each time Tong Xiaohua lost miserably.

That’s why they returned looking so sweaty.

"I guessed! Xiao Hua is very competitive, always wants to challenge someone."

Shen Weiyao didn’t say it, but this little girl had rarely found a worthy opponent before, and this time, she clearly met her match.

"Mom, that’s not called settling a score, it’s called sparring."

Tong Xiaohua, thinking of the repeated outcomes of the race, felt somewhat disinterested. She let go of Shen Weiyao and, without paying attention to Yan Bo, walked alone towards the dining room to have breakfast.

Yan Bo wanted to say something more, but Tong’s mother gestured to him, signaling him to hurry and follow for breakfast.

"Are you upset?" Yan Bo caught up, tugging at the little girl’s arm.

"Fair play, if you lose, you lose. Where’s the anger coming from?"

Tong Xiaohua lifted her head to give him a look, shook off his arm, and walked into the dining room.
