Chapter 930: Chapter 927: Enjoy the Romance

Hearing her shout like that and seeing the unconcerned smile on her face, Yan Bo’s heart finally settled down.

Even though her punch had left his shoulder feeling a bit numb, he didn’t care at all.

"Hey, is your girlfriend pretty?" Tao Jia asked with a face full of gossip and curiosity.

Yan Bo’s lips curled up slightly as he started to joke in high spirits.

"Not pretty at all, ugly as hell."

Tao Jia clicked her tongue, "I’m not a lesbian, even if your girlfriend is pretty, I wouldn’t fight over her with you. What’s the point of telling such a lie?"

Yan Bo laughed out loud, "When you come to L City to hang out, I’ll introduce you. If you ask me to tell the truth, I think no one is prettier than her!"

Tao Jia was caught off guard and force-fed a mouthful of dog food, holding her chest and taking a moment to recover before glaring fiercely at him.

"Yan Bo, can you leave a way out for this single dog? Not only do you refuse to be my chauffeur for free, but you also indirectly call me ugly. Aren’t you afraid I’ll sell you out to your girlfriend?"

Yan Bo glanced at her, "I’m not afraid! How can a perfect man like me have information to sell out? Besides, my girlfriend trusts me a lot, you’re just an outsider!"

Yan Bo might appear gentle, but in reality, he’s quite self-conceited.

However, he indeed has the capital to be self-conceited.

Tao Jia had never won against Yan Bo in a war of words since they were young.

No, to be precise, there’s nothing she could win against him in his presence.

"Tsk, do you know how self-conceited you are, does your girlfriend know about this?"

"This is called self-confidence, which she appreciates very much!" Yan Bo boasted without a hint of shame.

Tao Jia gave him a sideways look and shook her head, indicating she had nothing to say.

The two of them hadn’t seen each other for several months actually, and started by talking about Tong Xiaohua for a while. Gradually, the conversation shifted to the gossip about the young masters and ladies in Capital City.

"Hey, I overheard my parents talking once and it sounded like your old man wants to set your elder brother up with the Yang family’s daughter. Is that true?"

Tao Jia was twenty years old, yet it seemed gossip was the only thing in her mind.

In contrast, Tong Xiaohua, that girl has a mind as vast as the sea.

"I’m not in Capital City, so I don’t know the specifics. Besides overhearing this, did you catch any other rumors?"

Yan Bo knew that his elder brother and his assistant were very close; anything involving the Yang family’s daughter was impossible.

"Nothing else, isn’t your elder brother just like you, barely spending a few days in Capital City a month? Even if there was something ambiguous with the Yang family’s daughter, chances are we wouldn’t see it."

These children of aristocratic families were actually accustomed to their parents arranging matches for them once they came of age. Put nicely, it’s finding a compatible partner for them, but in reality, many were marriages arranged with the interests of both families in mind.

Even a carefree person like Tao Jia had been subtly influenced by her parents, and she didn’t have much objection to these kinds of arrangements.

Yan Bo was grateful she had no designs on him. Otherwise, judging by the current behavior of their parents, she would be a nuisance hard to shake off.

"In matters like that, only my elder brother and the Yang family’s daughter have the decision power. Like you and me, if our parents forced us together, would you be willing?"

Yan Bo was one hundred percent certain his parents and Commander Tao’s couple had reached an understanding, so he intentionally made the situation clear to make her give up early.

Tao Jia was stunned for a moment, clearly, she had never considered the possibility of her and Yan Bo being together.

She tilted her head and scrutinized Yan Bo for a good while, staring hard enough to make the sweat prick the palms of his hands that were holding the steering wheel, which began to slightly slip.

Just when Yan Bo was nervously unsettled and about to use a heavy-handed approach to stir up Tao Jia, he finally heard her respond to him.

"To be honest, if I didn’t have a man I liked, knowing I must marry a man from a family of equal social status, you would indeed be my first choice!"

As Tao Jia said this, she playfully threw a flirtatious glance his way.

Yan Bo shivered with a blend of revulsion and melancholy, casting her a reproachful glance, "Miss Tao Jiajia, I’m so grateful!"

Seeing the deflated look on Yan Bo’s face made Tao Jia unable to hold back a chuckling laugh.

"However, since you already have a girlfriend, I certainly won’t get involved! Don’t worry, if my parents or your parents say anything to me, I will stand by you, and you can go enjoy your lovely romance with your girlfriend!"

Yan Bo gave her another look and exhaled a long sigh of relief.

"Jiajia, thank you!"

Tao Jia watched him with a smile, and then a spark of light flashed in her eyes.

"Oh no, could it be that you coming to pick me up was actually a scheme concocted by my parents and yours?"

Yan Bo pressed his lips together and gave her a sidelong glance, "What else? Did you really think your family’s driver went up the green belt along with you?"

Tao Jia, teased again, huffed and pinched Yan Bo’s arm once more, threatening him with fiercer eyes.

"Yan Bo, if you make fun of my driving again, I’ll just give in to my parents’ wishes, and we’ll see how you’ll rove about with your girlfriend!"

Yan Bo patted her on the back with a beaming smile, "Someone as honorable and virtuous as Miss Tao Jiajia certainly wouldn’t become a homewrecker, right?"

Tao Jia was speechless, so she could only bulge her eyes and glower at him.

The two of them laughed and teased each other all the way, never encountering a dull moment on the road to the sanatorium. After parking the car, they walked into the venue of the banquet still chatting and laughing.

In the center of the venue, Yan Zhong and Mrs. Yan were greeting the guests. Hearing some commotion at the entrance, the hosts and the guests surrounding them all turned their heads simultaneously toward the source of the noise.

They saw the youngest son of the family, also known as Young Master Yan the Third, walking in with a tall and stunning beauty in a red evening dress.

"Hey, isn’t that your third Young Master, Old Ye?"

Yan Bo, having been abroad for his studies and starting up a business in L City, seldom appeared at social gatherings in the Capital City; if it weren’t for his mother’s birthday banquet today, he wouldn’t have shown up.

"Yes, indeed, my puppy," Yan Zhong said, watching the two young ones laughing and talking with each other, he felt comforted.

Another observant onlooker finally recognized the lady in red.

"The lady with the third Young Master, that’s Commander Tao’s daughter, right?"

Yan Zhong nodded. "Yes, that’s the child of the Tao family, the same age as my little Bo, they grew up studying together, truly childhood sweethearts."

Who was Yan Zhong?

For him to say such things in public, in front of everyone, it was tantamount to declaring that Miss Tao from the Tao family was almost certainly going to be his future daughter-in-law.

The guests, being discerning people, upon hearing Yan Zhong’s words, soon began to praise the young couple nearby.

"Truly a match made in heaven, whether in terms of family background, looks, or talent, the third Young Master and Miss Tao are a perfect pair."

"That’s right, the third Young Master and Miss Tao are a match blessed by the heavens, the envy of others!"
