Chapter 935: Chapter 932: Spending Time in a World for Two

Yan Bo spread his hands, "Just like that..."

Yan Yuan’s thick eyebrows furrowed slightly as he glanced again at the documents on the table, filled with comparative data.

He knew better than anyone that his younger brother, hailed as a business prodigy by outsiders, had put in far more effort than people imagined.

"If you need help, just say it. Don’t try to shoulder everything alone!"

Yan Yuan had always doted on his younger brother since childhood. To be honest, he didn’t mind cleaning up any mess for his brother. However, his brother had been a dragon and phoenix among people from a young age, and had done everything to bring honor to the family. There were hardly ever moments where he truly needed the family’s help.

Even the bumps he experienced in his L City start-up, most were deliberately orchestrated by their father’s orders.

"Big brother, I’m not stupid. I won’t miss out on utilizing what I can," Yan Bo replied.

Carrying the halo of the third young master of the Yan family, Yan Bo indeed had a significant advantage, which is why there weren’t many situations where he would need his brother’s help, except for that incident with the leader from the neighboring city last time.

Yan Yuan stared at him for a good while before raising his hand to his shoulder, patting it lightly.

"Well, I won’t advise you on other matters. You’re not a child, you know better than anyone what you should do and how to make choices," he said.

Clearly, he was referring to the matter with Tong Xiaohua.

Yan Bo looked up sincerely, "Big brother, I know you have your own stance and difficulties, I don’t blame you!"

Yan Yuan nodded, patted his shoulder again, said "Goodnight," and turned to walk out.

Yan Bo watched the closed door and spaced out for a while. After a moment, he shuffled his feet, turned the chair around, and started to look at the data seriously.

The next day the weather suddenly turned overcast, and when it was time to leave, a drizzle began to fall.

Yan Bo’s mother, who had planned to go with the driver to send Yan Bo to the airport, was persuaded by Yan Bo to stay at home.

The driver dropped off Yan Bo at the airport. While going through security, Yan Bo received a phone call from Tong Xiaohua.

"Yan Bo, is it raining in the Capital City? Will it affect the flight?"

Yan Bo had not received any notification yet, "No, it’s just a drizzle, shouldn’t affect anything. I’m at security now, if everything goes on time, I should be back in L City by eleven."

"I’ll pick you up, so don’t you dare run off anywhere."

Tong Xiaohua’s tone was very serious, as if she was instructing a child, which made Yan Bo laugh out loud.

"I’m not a child, how could I possibly run around everywhere?"

Yan Bo guessed that Tong Xiaohua said this entirely because she had come to pick him up at the airport last time and he had completely ignored her, which is why she made a special point this time.

On the other end of the phone, Tong Xiaohua was holding a bunch of jasmine flowers she had picked from the garden as she walked into the inner room.

"Anyway, if you dare to ignore me later, just wait and see how I deal with you."

Although Tong Xiaohua’s tone was fierce, her face wore a smile. After chatting with Yan Bo for a few more sentences and hanging up, she lifted her head to see her parents looking thoughtful.

"Wife, I told you, our daughter has grown up, and now it’s all about other men in her heart. She hasn’t even said good morning to her parents yet, and is all about cooing with another man!"

Tong’s father had been eating vinegar since returning to the country and had been doing so almost daily. Tong’s mother was already used to it and couldn’t be bothered to comfort him. She just rose to her feet to greet Tong Xiaohua, taking the jasmine flowers in one hand while asking, "When is Xiao Yan coming back? Will he come to our house for dinner tonight?"

Before Tong Xiaohua could answer, Tong’s father snorted, "What’s this about coming home? This isn’t his home!"

Tong Xiaohua, like her mother, was gradually getting used to the strange tone when her father brought up Yan Bo. She shook her head at her mother, "Mom, there’s no need. Tonight, I’m going to eat out with Yan Bo."

Tong’s mother touched her face, smiling, "That’s true, you haven’t seen each other for two days, it’s time to spend some time together, just the two of you. If you feel like going out for a walk later tonight, you can..."

Tong’s eldest daughter immediately interrupted her mother, "I won’t be available tonight, Xiao Hua, you go patrolling by yourself, I’ve made plans to play mahjong with Uncle Zhang."

Tong Xiaohua didn’t have any intention of having her father work on her behalf, "Dad, you go ahead, I’m just having dinner with Yan Bo, no other plans afterward."

Tong Xiaohua was still young and didn’t have a very concrete concept of romance.

In her mind, when she missed him, she would just call to hear his voice, and if allowed, have a meal together and see his face; that alone was enough for her.

Until now, she hadn’t developed the desire to be constantly clingy with Yan Bo.

Therefore, the needless worries of Tong’s eldest daughter about her possibly not returning home at night were completely unfounded.

Tong’s mother, holding a bouquet of flowers, turned and entered the storage room, found a vase, arranged the flowers, and placed them in the living room.

"Mom, did you use to give Dad flowers?"

Sitting on the other side of the dining room having breakfast, Tong Xiaohua suddenly called out.

Before Tong’s mother could reply, Tong’s eldest daughter glared over, "What nonsense! What kind of flowers would a big guy like me receive?"

Tong Xiaohua, nibbling on a steamed bun, uttered an "Oh," then lowered her head to drink her porridge.

Tong’s mother turned around to give Tong’s eldest daughter a glare, stepped into the dining room, pulled out the chair beside her daughter, and sat down.

"Xiao Hua, what time does Xiao Yan get to L City?"

Clearly, the daughter must have been thinking of preparing a small gift for her boyfriend, whom she hadn’t seen for a few days, hence such a question arose.

"Around eleven o’clock..." Tong Xiaohua wasn’t too sure either.

"Although Xiao Yan isn’t too picky, he definitely won’t touch the airplane food. When you go to pick him up, buy some snacks or something for him to eat in the car."

Reminded by her mother, Tong Xiaohua then remembered that the last time she picked up Yan Bo, he seemingly asked Brother Yang for a box of milk as soon he got in the car.

"Alright, then I’ll go to Mingxuan later to pack some snacks to bring."

There was a Mingxuan Restaurant near the airport. Tong Xiaohua had packed a few boxes of snacks there and arrived at the airport hall just in time at eleven o’clock.

Yan Bo had sent her a message before boarding, saying the flight took off on time and would arrive on schedule, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

Thus, Tong Xiaohua stood in the hall, craning her neck to watch the throngs of people dragging their luggage out of the gate.

Actually, there was no need for her to search for Yan Bo with such eagle eyes because, with his nearly 1.9-meter height, he stood out in the crowd like a crane amongst chickens. He had just exited the gate when Tong Xiaohua spotted him at a glance.

"Yan Bo, over here!"

Tong Xiaohua waved her hands excitedly, and after not seeing each other for two days, the moment she locked eyes with his gentle and affectionate gaze across the flow of people, she realized just how much she missed him.

Yan Bo, on the other side of the gate, also raised his hand to wave at her, his face breaking into a smile that could sweeten to death.

When he finally made his way through the crowd to her side, Tong Xiaohua hadn’t even managed to take his luggage before she was scooped up by his long, strong arms and abruptly pulled into his embrace.

The familiar scent rushed into her nostrils as Tong Xiaohua buried her face in his chest and took a deep breath.
