Chapter 933: Chapter 930: Self-Taught Because of You

"It’s okay, after all, my eldest brother didn’t bring a girlfriend, and my second sister didn’t bring a boyfriend either. If I forcibly brought you home to meet my parents, where would that leave my brother and sister’s face?"

Yan Bo was lying on the bed, his head resting on his arms, eyes fixed on the ceiling, and Tong Xiaohua’s smiling face was projected there by his imagination.

"Does your big brother have a girlfriend yet?"

Tong Xiaohua was not the gossipy type, but caring about her future brother-in-law was necessary, as they say, ’love for the house extends even to the crows perched on its roof.’

"I guess he does, but he hasn’t formally brought her over for everyone to see. My eldest brother, if he really brought a girlfriend home, that would mean he’s determined to marry her!"

"Do you mean you’re different from Yan Bo?" Tong Xiaohua asked, slightly dissatisfied.

Yan Bo was in an extremely good mood and didn’t panic because of Tong Xiaohua’s question. On the contrary, he felt quite smug about it.

If he hadn’t thought this way, he wouldn’t have been able to find out how important he was to Tong Xiaohua.

"Of course, I’m different from him!" Yan Bo confessed to Tong Xiaohua’s questioning as if courting death.

Then, before she could further question him, he quickly continued, "Even if I don’t bring you home, the moment I pursued you, I had already decided on you, and it’s you or no one else!"

There was silence on the other end of the phone, unsure whether she was moved by his words or weighing the credibility of his statement.

But for Yan Bo, what he said was absolutely a hundred percent sincere.

Not to mention Tong Xiaohua smoothly became his girlfriend, even if she had initially refused him, he would have done everything possible to make her his.

This stubbornness could not be seen at all from his gentle appearance. Only those who knew him well would know that beneath his deceptively gentle façade lay an unyielding and persistent heart.

On the other end of the phone, still silent, but Yan Bo could clearly hear Tong Xiaohua’s breathing.

He didn’t rush her, just quietly listened to her light, rhythmic breathing until he heard her exhale a long breath.

"Phew... Yan Bo, I’ve realized you’re really good at sweet-talking."

The corners of Yan Bo’s mouth curved slightly as he chuckled, "Really? Do you like to listen? If so, I’ll say it to you every day from now on."

Tong Xiaohua coughed twice, "It must take a lot of experience to reach your level, right?"

Yan Bo seemed to smell a faint trace of sourness in the air, smiling happily with his eyebrows raised, but his words were extremely aggrieved.

"Miss, you’ve wronged me, I became an expert without a teacher just because it’s you!"

Tong Xiaohua then coughed even more intensely.

Yan Bo could even imagine her blushing and shyly coughing.

Ah, if he could fly back to L City right now and hold her in his arms, the girl he teased so adorably, how great that would be!

As Yan Bo was letting his imagination take flight, a gentle knock on the door came, followed by his elder brother Yan Yuan’s voice, "Bo, come out and chat for a bit."

Yan Bo really wanted to feign death; to tell the truth, he just wanted to continue flirting with his adorable girlfriend and wasn’t interested in chatting with his family at all.

But he also understood that this was something he couldn’t avoid!

"Xiao Hua, my parents have come back from the banquet, I’ll keep them company for a bit. You should go to bed early. I will be returning tomorrow, and I’ll give you a call when I arrive."

"Okay, what do you want for dinner? I’ll make a reservation and wait for you."

The two reluctantly said goodbye and hung up the phone. Yan Bo rolled off the bed and got up smoothly.

In the living room, the Yan mother, seeing him come out, immediately patted the spot beside her, "Bo, come sit by Mom."

Yan Zhong was sitting on the other side of Yan mother, while Yan Yuan and Yan Su sat on the single sofas at opposite ends.

"Dad, Mom, big brother, second sister!"

After greeting his family, Yan Bo obediently walked over and sat down beside Yan mother.

"Mom, it must have been quite tough today, hasn’t it?"

As soon as Yan Bo sat down, he put his hand on Yan mother’s shoulder, gently massaging it.

It’s often said that the youngest child in a family is usually particularly spoiled and willful, but Yan Bo was not only free of any such traits, but he was also much more considerate and caring than his older brother and sister.

Therefore, Yan mother was actually most attentive to and doted on her youngest son.

"Not tough at all, I have to attend these kinds of banquets every now and then, I’m used to it."

Yan mother was thoroughly enjoying the attention from her youngest son, relaxed her body, and let him knead her shoulders and back.

"Plus, tonight Jiajia was with me the whole time, she was a big help."

Yan mother hinted at her point but didn’t speak too bluntly.

However, Yan Bo, being the smart man he was, could certainly pick up on his mother’s subtlety.

"Speaking of which, I haven’t seen Jiajia in quite a while, and when I did see her this time, the little girl really has grown up, become beautiful, and has learned proper manners, no longer the wild girl she used to be."

Yan Su, being a diplomat, rarely came home once a year; compared to Yan Bo, she spent even less time at home with her parents, and her interaction with old family friends was nearly non-existent due to her job.

"Second sister, how many years has it been since you last got together and played with a group of childhood friends? That girl Jiajia, she’s been like this since she was sixteen or seventeen, different in front of others than behind them, quite the actress!"

In truth, all three younger members present knew that for people of their background, whether they were naive or innocent, by the time they reached their teens, they could only display such traits in front of family or close friends—out in public, wasn’t everyone a well-informed and sensible master of social interactions?

After all, the heavy responsibility for the rise and fall of their families would soon rest on their shoulders.

"Isn’t everyone the same?" Yan Su had a deep understanding of this as well.

However, her temperament was like Yan Zhong’s, cautious and proud.

Of the three Yan juniors, only Yan Bo was like a different breed.

Of course, his "differentness" was only superficial, deep down, he was quite similar to his father.

It was just that, being in business, many of his edges had been smoothed over.

"Why don’t we invite Jiajia over for dinner tomorrow then, she really did me a favor staying with me all day today!"

Inviting guests over was always decided by Yan mother; Yan Zhong, a mighty figure outside the home, typically stayed out of these matters.

But today, he was the first to agree with Yan mother’s suggestion, "That’s right, Jiajia did indeed work hard today. Let’s invite her over for dinner tomorrow evening."

Before Yan Bo could object, Yan mother turned to him and instructed, "You ask Jiajia later if she’s free tomorrow evening, and also what she likes to eat, so I can instruct the kitchen to prepare."

Yan Bo felt rather helpless about his parent’s forceful arrangements but he wouldn’t just go along with it.

"Dad, Mom, I’ve arranged to meet with a major client for business tomorrow afternoon, so I’ll have to leave early in the morning."
