Chapter 921: Chapter 918: Love Without Regrets
"Yes, you really shouldn’t trouble me; I didn’t give you a long deadline, just 30,000 days."
Tong Xiaohua was stunned for a moment. She thought that if he really wanted to coax her, he would probably say ’a lifetime.’
But he said, just 30,000 days.
30,000 days, how much is that?
Tong Xiaohua quickly engaged her brain cells and did a rough calculation: 30,000 days is about 82 years.
She’s 18 this year, plus 82 years, that would make it exactly 100 years old.
The mood that was just depressed suddenly soared because of this answer.
Yet she felt too embarrassed to show too much happiness or expectation. She just curled her lip disdainfully and said, "Just 30,000 days? I thought it was for eternity!"
Yan Bo bowed his head and pecked at the corner of her eye, his voice as warm as a breeze caressing past her ear.
"I’m not greedy; I don’t ask for eternity. I only hope to cherish you dearly, pamper you thoroughly, and love you without regrets for this lifetime!"
Tong Xiaohua’s eyes turned red without warning!
Where does that empty promise of eternity stand against his words of ’loving without regrets in this lifetime’?
How incredibly fortunate she was to have met someone who knew how to truly love?
His tender tongue gently swept away the moisture at the corner of her eyes, and the hand on her waist softly caressed.
"Xiao Hua, whatever you want, I will give it to you, except for a future without my participation."
Tong Xiaohua didn’t say anything, she just reached out both hands and tightly wrapped them around his back.
A gentle breeze rustled, and the sunlight filtered through the orange tree, casting a light as golden as flowing water over the two of them.
Time seemed to stand still in these wilds suffused with the scent of oranges, where the two clinging to each other could only hear each other’s ’thumping’ heartbeat.
After a long time, Tong Xiaohua reluctantly lifted her head from his warm embrace. Her eyes, misty with tears, wandered over his handsome face. Then, she licked her lips as if making a firm decision and declared forcefully.
"Yan Bo, you have to remember what you said today, if my future doesn’t include you, I surely won’t let you off easy!"
What Tong Xiaohua said seemed like a warning, but in reality, it was a tacit promise.
"Hope you never let me go!" Yan Bo chuckled softly, his lips intensely hot as they sealed hers inseparably.
...
Old Tong and Shen Weiyao chatted with Zhang Chengzhi in the living room for a while before taking the two out to the courtyard.
What was originally a desolate wilderness had been turned into a landscape of small bridges over flowing water and green lotuses in blue lakes by a skilled craftsman,
As the three walked over the bridge, they ran their hands over the bridge’s delicate carvings, prompting Shen Weiyao to exclaim in admiration.
"Such a beautiful setting, it’s like a fairyland! Xiao Zhang, I hadn’t realized you were such a cultured person."
Old Tong landed a punch on Zhang Chengzhi’s shoulder, "Nicely done. You hid in the mountains for years, and instead of becoming a wild man, you turned into a man of culture! I have spent a lifetime cultivating with your sister-in-law, yet I remain an ignorant brute who understands nothing!"
Zhang Chengzhi turned to look at him and then at Shen Weiyao.
"Big brother, you and sister-in-law are a hero and a beauty matched. As for me, a loner, I can only appreciate my own elegance."
In fact, whether it’s being ordinary or elegant, none of it compares to the bliss of two people being lovingly together.
The three of them chatted and laughed as they walked around most of the garden, worrying that Shen Weiyao might get tired, Tong highly suggested they head back to the villa.
They originally thought that the two young people who said they would go pick oranges and star fruits would lose interest and return to the guest rooms after a short while.
Unexpected to them, aside from a few bodyguards organizing luggage and the bustling kitchen that Yan Bo had borrowed from Ling Qingyun, there was no sign of the love-struck couple.
"They didn’t get lost, did they?" Zhang Chengzhi was a bit concerned because, while at the front desk earlier, he saw the young man who had led the couple to the orchard, who said they had sent him back.
Zhang Chengzhi didn’t know Yan Bo well, which is why he had such a ludicrous speculation.
"Don’t worry, they won’t get lost. They probably found it fun and stayed a bit longer. Be mentally prepared; they might have eaten or picked all the oranges and star fruits in most of your orchard."
Obviously, Tong was joking.
The reason why he was so confident that the couple wouldn’t get lost was because of Yan Bo.
Yan Bo had participated in practical combat exercises in the jungle before, and to him, the wilderness here was as clear as a boulevard, so how could they possibly get lost?
In the end, the couple who couldn’t possibly have gotten lost returned to the villa right on time at twelve.
Zhang Chengzhi had arranged a separate small villa with three bedrooms, two living rooms, and its own courtyard for them. When Tong Xiaohua and Yan Bo arrived hand in hand, Tong and Shen Weiyao were sitting on the patio sipping tea. Seeing them return, they got up and walked back to the living room.
The kitchen wafted rich aromas, indicating that the chef Zhang Chengzhi had borrowed from Ling Qingyun indeed had some skills.
Right as they entered the house, Tong Xiaohua couldn’t help but exclaim excitedly.
"Wow, it smells so good! Can we eat now?"
At this moment, Tong Xiaohua finally remembered the bags of groceries she and Yan Bo had bought. The rich fragrance entered her nose so tangibly that she involuntarily licked her lips.
Yan Bo looked at her with a smile, finally unable to hold back his laughter at her movements reminiscent of a famished puppy.
Tong Xiaohua glared at him, about to scold him, but her stomach inconveniently rumbled loudly.
Yan Bo handed the full basket of oranges and star fruits to the bodyguards and nudged her toward the bathroom.
"Go on, wash your face quickly, and then you can eat."
Tong Xiaohua, like an excited child, ran off happily. Seeing this from the patio, Shen Weiyao chuckled at Yan Bo.
"Look how you pamper her; she’s like a child to you."
Yan Bo watched her figure, "She is a child..."
Not only can she always be a child in front of her parents, but in his eyes too, he was willing to forever pamper and cherish her, protect and care for her like a child.
Shen Weiyao exchanged a glance with the speechless Tong, and then meaningfully said to Yan Bo.
"Xiao Yan, I hope you can always treat her as a child."
Yan Bo nodded earnestly, "Aunt Tong, I will!"
Although Shen Weiyao had privately discussed with her precious daughter the roles they should play in a relationship, deep down, she still preferred her precious daughter to be pampered more rather than being the one who gives more.
Call her selfish or overprotective if you want.
"Mom, did you secretly make Yan Bo promise you another unfair agreement?"
While she, as a mother, fretted about securing benefits and welfare for her daughter, the daughter, unbeknownst to her, was siding with her lover.
