Chapter 929: Chapter 926: Afraid My Girlfriend Will Get Jealous

Yan Bo looked helplessly at the phone, grabbed the keys, and left the house.

He knew about Block 8 in the North District; it was the home of his dad’s old comrade-in-arms, Commander Tao.

As for who exactly he was supposed to pick up, Yan Bo had no idea.

Was it Commander Tao himself? Or his wife, Madam Tao? Or perhaps one of his two daughters?

A warning bell rang "ding ding" in Yan Bo’s mind, his intuition telling him that this was going to be bad.

Indeed, as he drove towards the North District, from a distance, he caught sight of a graceful figure in a red dress standing at the entrance of Block 8.

Commander Tao was a few years older than Yan Zhong and had a son and two daughters. The elder daughter was Yan Yuan’s classmate, while the younger daughter was Yan Bo’s.

At this moment, Yan Bo was almost certain that the figure standing at the entrance of Block 8 was Commander Tao’s youngest daughter, Tao Jia.

And the reason behind his being asked to pick her up, he could pretty much guess the implicit intention.

It seemed that last night his father had already had someone investigate the Tong Family and Xiao Hua’s background thoroughly.

Yan Bo slowed down the car and drove up to the entrance of Block 8. He got out of the car and walked towards the person under the eaves.

The person was looking down at her mobile phone, her face not entirely clear, but Yan Bo could confirm she was one of the Tao sisters, as they had similar figures and looked somewhat alike. Even though Yan Bo was quite familiar with them, he still needed to get closer to tell them apart.

"Hey! What’s so fascinating that you can’t take your eyes off it?"

The startled person suddenly looked up, blinked at him a few times, and after a moment, revealed a surprised smile, "Yan Bo? When did you get back? Why didn’t you tell me?"

This person was indeed his old classmate, Commander Tao’s daughter, Tao Jia.

"I didn’t get home until very late last night, slept in big time this morning, and after lunch, I came to meet you. Isn’t that enough?"

Yan Bo and Tao Jia had played together since childhood, attending the same school and class from kindergarten until he left for abroad.

One could say, he and Tao Jia were childhood sweethearts.

He didn’t mention that his mother had specifically asked him to pick someone up; after all, it would be pretty awkward once it came to light.

For both him and her.

Yan Bo was almost certain of what his parents were up to. As for Tao Jia, she probably had no clue.

Tao Jia glanced at him and then at his car, "Are you on your way to the sanatorium now? Is there still a space in your car? Mind giving me a lift?"

Indeed, like him, Tao Jia had also been set up.

Yan Bo pretended to be startled for a moment before turning around and making a welcoming gesture.

"Of course, I just wanted to try my luck and see if I could bump into you to give you a lift."

Tao Jia thanked him with a sweet smile and jogged to the co-pilot side, gracefully climbing into the car.

Yan Bo also got into the car and, while buckling his seat belt, heard Tao Jia on the co-pilot’s side say, "Our driver got stuck in traffic. My dad just mentioned finding someone else to pick me up; I’ll let him know not to bother now."

Yan Bo nodded, "Hmm, go ahead and call."

It appeared that his mother asking him to pick up Tao Jia was a collusion with Commander Tao.

"Dad, Yan Bo is passing by and will pick me up, you don’t have to find someone to get me. Yes, just like that."

After hanging up the phone, Tao Jia turned to Yan Bo and said, "What a coincidence, I was thinking about whether I’d be late waiting for my dad to find someone to pick me up. I didn’t expect that you’d actually be so in tune with me."

Yan Bo started the car and made a U-turn, "It really is a coincidence. Didn’t you get your driver’s license? Why do you still need a driver?"

At this moment, Yan Bo didn’t dare to be in sync with any other woman, and so, he quickly changed the subject.

Firstly, he was afraid of being misunderstood, and secondly, he was taken; the only woman he could flirt with was Tong Xiaohua. Flirting with anyone else would be unfaithful to her.

Tao Jia’s face slightly changed, and after a while, she awkwardly began, "Ahem, I scraped the car on a landscaping strip last month, and my parents confiscated my license."

Yan Bo couldn’t help but burst into laughter. Feeling the angry glare from his side, he chuckled twice and managed to suppress it.

"Jiajia, don’t say I’m not helping you, you really shouldn’t be driving. Just find yourself a boyfriend and let him be your personal driver in the future."

Tao Jia pursed her lips and humphed, then, as if struck by a brilliant idea, she reached over and tugged at his arm.

"How about this, until I find a boyfriend, you be my driver, okay?"

Yan Bo wondered if the girl’s brain was growing grass. Setting aside whether he was her boyfriend or not, he was in L City, and it was rare for him to spend even a few days in the Capital City. How could he be her driver?

Could it be that she was involved in today’s pickup from the start?

"Jiajia, I really can’t help you with this. If I did, I’m afraid my girlfriend would get jealous!"

No matter whether Tao Jia was involved in this or not, he had to nip all possibilities in the bud.

Tao Jia grabbed his hand, changing from pulling to pinching, and exclaimed, "What, you have a girlfriend now?"

Yan Bo felt a twinge of pain and hissed, turning his head to glare at her, "Miss Jiajia, I’m driving, do you want me to end up crashing the car into someone’s yard like you did?"

Tao Jia chuckled a few times and withdrew her hand, looking at him with a gossip-hungry face, "Yan Bo, you’re not lying to me? You really got a girlfriend?"

Yan Bo nodded with all seriousness, "Of course it’s true. My girlfriend is a tender eighteen years old with a delicate soul, so don’t even think about giving me any rotten ideas like pretending to be your boyfriend."

Tao Jia folded her arms across her chest and looked at him while clicking her tongue twice, "Look at you, what a letdown! I really misjudged you, thinking you were a man who could stand tall and firm, but it turns out you’re henpecked too!"

Yan Bo laughed, "A man who stands tall and firm doesn’t conflict with being henpecked."

Tao Jia moved a bit further away, sticking her face to the car window glass.

"Go on, let’s see how you’re going to smooth things over now!"

Yan Bo and Tao Jia had been friends for over a decade. They hadn’t seen each other much in recent years, but their affection remained, and they spoke very casually to one another.

Seeing her current expression and hearing her words, Yan Bo felt that she was also kept in the dark about him picking her up.

"I don’t plan to smooth it over. Anyway, you know my character better than anyone, so what’s the point in pretending?"

Tao Jia giggled and leaned over to punch him lightly on the shoulder.

"That’s true! There’s really no point in putting on an act in front of each other, we’ve seen all of each other’s flaws, no pretense can beautify that."

That’s why most childhood sweethearts can only be like siblings. Besides knowing each other’s strengths, they see all the flaws too clearly.

And love, it always contains a bit of blindness. When you see too clearly, all the romance fades
