Chapter 948: Chapter 945: Only You Have This Ability

Yan Bo, though he had plenty of complaints about Tao Jia, felt genuinely happy as he watched the two chat away.

Tong Xiaohua had been lonely since childhood, and even now, she had very few female friends to confide in, which pained Yan Bo, yet often, he felt powerless to help.

Because he knew that even if he was the perfect boyfriend, he could never be like a best friend to her.

If a boyfriend was like a down jacket, offering warmth all over, then a best friend was like a hand warmer, offering comfort only to specific, small areas.

If Tong Xiaohua could become good friends with Tao Jia, in any case, it would be a good thing.

However, the condition was that he first had to set some ground rules with Tao Jia, clarifying what could and could not be discussed.

Lest an uncontrollable situation arise later, which would be a loss not worth the risk.

Tao Jia was a great person to chat with, regardless of whether Tong Xiaohua was willing to talk or not, she always found a way to make Tong Xiaohua talk at length.

Yan Bo glanced at Tao Jia in the back seat through the rear-view mirror several times, thinking to himself that although she was careless, she at least had some uses.

Since that was the case, as a reward for her genuine intentions towards Tong Xiaohua, he would help her out.

"Jiajia, are you looking for a figure model?"

Yan Bo felt that by speaking at that volume, Tao Jia must have wanted him to hear.

"Yes, do you agree?" Tao Jia asked with a look of surprise.

Yan Bo ignored her question and asked instead, "A male or a female model?"

Now Tao Jia wasn’t just surprised; she pounced onto the driver’s seat, her eyes sparkling with excitement as she clamored, "Yan Bo, do you want to be my model?"

Yan Bo rolled his eyes, "Miss Tao Jiajia, you’re thinking too much!"

Tao Jia huffed in disappointment and slumped back into her seat, "I knew you wouldn’t be that generous!"

Yan Bo paid her no attention and recited a string of phone numbers.

"What is this?" Tao Jia asked irritably, assuming Yan Bo was toying with her.

"It’s my friend’s model company. Call him and tell him you’re my friend. Then you can get any type of model you want, male or female doesn’t matter."

Tao Jia winked at Tong Xiaohua, "Look at how possessive your boyfriend is. I just wanted you to be a model, and he’s already blocking my way."

Yan Bo patted Tong Xiaohua’s hand and said indifferently, "Xiao Hua doesn’t know anything about that. The ones I’m introducing are top-notch professional models, with all kinds of temperaments."

Tao Jia glared at him, "But I like Xiao Hua’s type of natural beauty and pure temperament, you’re just stingy!"

"Jiajia, you think too highly of me! I hardly ever even take photos, let alone model. I’d probably be as stiff as a stone carving."

Of course, Tong Xiaohua sided with Yan Bo. Moreover, the idea of being a nude model was far beyond her level of comfort.

Even though Tong Xiaohua and Yan Bo made it clear that there was no room for discussion on the matter, Tao Jia harangued them all the way until the car stopped at the hotel where she was staying, where she finally gave up on persuading Tong Xiaohua.

The hotel Yan Bo booked for her was close to Yanhuang Company, and after Tao Jia settled her luggage, she suggested a visit to Yanhuang.

Yanhuang’s workdays were a five-and-a-half-day week, so when Yan Bo and Tong Xiaohua visited Yanhuang with Tao Jia, it immediately ignited the staff’s gossiping spirits.

Of course, Yan Bo didn’t need to introduce Tao Jia and Tong Xiaohua to anyone, he only gave Di Xu a brief introduction.

Di Xu was quite discerning and, after lingering in Yan Bo’s office for a while, promptly left on the pretense of having work to do.

As soon as he was out of the door, Miss Guo eagerly tugged at him for gossip, "Who’s that beauty? She’s not Miss Tong’s rival, is she?"

Miss Guo naturally did not want to imply her boss was a playboy, so she asked in a different way.

Di Xu gave her a stern look, "Don’t talk nonsense, that’s the boss’s childhood friend who came from Capital City, and they grew up together."

Miss Guo acted as if she had suddenly understood, "Oh... so they’re childhood sweethearts!"

Di Xu glared at her again, "You must never let the boss hear you say that, he’s extremely protective when it comes to his food."

Miss Guo blinked, "Protective over his food? So who is he protective over? Miss Tong or his childhood sweetheart?"

After all, Di Xu knew Yan Bo much better than Miss Guo and was speechless at her wild guesses.

"Of course, it’s Miss Tong! Think about it, if the boss and his childhood friend have grown up together since they were kids and nothing has happened in all these years, naturally nothing will happen now. And Miss Tong, how long has the boss been in L City? Look how anxious the boss is about Miss Tong!"

After being prodded by Di Xu, Miss Guo had an epiphany.

It seems that every time the boss suddenly leaves a meeting to answer his phone, the person on the other end is probably Miss Tong.

"Right, didn’t you just buy some fruits? The future boss lady loves them, so hurry up and prepare them to send over, and try to bribe Miss Tong properly."

After a while, Miss Guo actually cut and washed all the dragon fruits and blackcurrants she had bought to take home, knocked on the door, and then carried them in.

However, the scene in the office was different from what she had imagined.

She had thought that the boss was accommodating the future boss lady and his childhood friend, but that was not the case.

Yan Bo was sitting behind his desk, busy with something unknown, while in the reception room, Tong Xiaohua and Tao Jia were chatting happily.

"Miss Tong, Miss Tao, please have some fruits."

Tong Xiaohua said "Thank you," got up, and took the fruits.

Miss Guo did not dare to linger too long, smiled at the two of them, and tactfully left. Tong Xiaohua carried the fruit plate over to Tao Jia, waited for Tao Jia to pick a piece of dragon fruit, and then carried the fruit plate over to the desk.

Yan Bo did not reach out for the fruit but looked up at her, "My hands are dirty..."

Tong Xiaohua didn’t think much of it, her clear black-and-white eyes looking at him, asking, "What would you like to eat?"

"Blackcurrants," Yan Bo replied candidly and unapologetically.

Tong Xiaohua fed him two blackcurrants in succession, and after Yan Bo chomped them down, he didn’t speak, simply opening his mouth again.

This time, Tong Xiaohua stuffed a piece of dragon fruit into his mouth. He slightly frowned but still chewed a few times and swallowed it.

"Yan Bo, I thought you didn’t eat dragon fruit?"

Tao Jia exclaimed in surprise, startling Tong Xiaohua.

"You don’t eat dragon fruit? Why didn’t you say so earlier?"

Tong Xiaohua was somewhat at a loss, "You’re not allergic, are you?"

Yan Bo smiled at her, "No allergies. I really didn’t like it much before, but my tastes have changed, I can eat some now, can’t be picky, right?"

Tong Xiaohua knew all too well that he was just trying to comfort her.

"Just say if you don’t like it, no need to force yourself."

As she spoke, Tong Xiaohua fed him a few more blackcurrants, then carried the fruit plate back to the reception room.

Tao Jia didn’t wait for Tong Xiaohua to sit down and started to tease Yan Bo with her, "Xiao Hua, only you could manage to pry his mouth open. In the past, we would bet six-figure sums and he still wouldn’t eat."
