Chapter 952: Chapter 949 - Indeed a Big "Surprise

Tao Jia had no way of knowing the various complex emotions churning in Tong Xiaohua’s heart?

She simply thought that Xiao Hua hadn’t recovered from the shock of a windfall from the sky, balling her hand into a fist and thumping Xiao Hua’s shoulder.

"But, you can rest assured, Yan Bo is very pure-hearted, to my knowledge, you are his first love!"

If Xiaohua had heard this half an hour earlier, she might have felt a bit of happiness.

But now, this fact became insignificant and inconsequential against another reality.

"Jiajia, Yan Bo said you like eating Cantonese food, how about we go to the Cantonese Restaurant for lunch later?"

Tong Xiaohua didn’t want to discuss Yan Bo’s family background or personality with Tao Jia anymore; her mind was in such disarray that she could only try to shift her attention to another topic.

Luckily, Tao Jia wasn’t a person who dwelled on things for long. Hearing this, her attention quickly turned to the delicious and fun places in L City.

When the car arrived under the Yanhuang Building, the supposedly abandoning Yan Bo, Tong Xiaohua, sent him a message to come downstairs.

A few minutes later, Yan Bo walked out of the Building, came straight over, and before Tao Jia had time to get out and switch to the co-pilot’s seat, he already opened the co-pilot door and sat down.

"Where did you sneak off to have fun without me just now?" he asked Xiaohua with a smile as he buckled his seat belt and turned his head.

"I went with Jiajia to buy some crystal accessories..." Tong Xiaohua reported truthfully.

Her tone was somewhat cold, and Yan Bo looked at her earnestly.

Instinctively, Xiaohua diverted her gaze to Tao Jia and then patted her hand, "I told Jiajia we’re going to have Cantonese food, and she had no objections."

Yan Bo gave her a deep look but said mockingly, "Of course she has no objections. She is like a pig that wouldn’t say no to any food!"

Tao Jia protested unhappily, "Hey, what do you mean by calling me a pig? I am quite discerning about what I eat, okay?"

Yan Bo sat up straight, looking ahead and chuckled.

"Yeah, someone who can’t even tell the difference between small shrimp and Roche shrimp really knows their food."

Tao Jia was taken aback, knowing she couldn’t win against Yan Bo, so she hugged Tong Xiaohua’s shoulder and snorted triumphantly.

"Yan Bo, go ahead and bully me! Now Xiao Hua and I are allies. If you treat me badly, I’ll tell her all the embarrassing and silly things about you."

As she said this, she shook Tong Xiaohua, "Xiao Hua, don’t worry, if he bullies you, I’ll help you get back at him."

Xiao Hua smiled at her but didn’t reply.

"Tao Jia, are you sure I have embarrassing and silly things for you to spill? Are you sure you don’t mind me exposing yours?"

While Yan Bo and Tao Jia joked and laughed together, Tong Xiaohua was exceptionally quiet on the side.

Tao Jia didn’t really understand Xiaohua, so she didn’t notice anything amiss.

But the unease that had begun to grow in Yan Bo since he got in the car accumulated bit by bit with her silence. By the time they reached the door of the Cantonese Restaurant, the disquiet had solidified into a heavy hammer, pressing hard on his heart, nearly leaving him breathless.

After entering, Tao Jia went to the toilet, and Yan Bo took the opportunity to pull over Tong Xiaohua, who seemed to be avoiding him. First, he touched her forehead, then stared at her and asked in a low voice.

"Xiao Hua, are you feeling unwell, or did something happen?"

In front of Yan Bo, Tong Xiaohua was never good at lying, but her heart was in turmoil because of what Tao Jia had said. She wanted to clarify this restlessness and unease, but for now, that was somewhat challenging.

"I’m not feeling unwell, just that... there was some trouble at the casino..."

Before she could find out why she felt so terribly off, she had to lie.

Yan Bo stared at her intently, his intuition telling him she was hiding something from him.

But he didn’t want to pressure her.

"After lunch, will you need to go back to deal with things? Tao Jia, I can keep her company, or if not, I will have Miss Guo take her around."

Yan Bo said considerately as he led her into the private room he had reserved early in the morning.

At this moment, Tong Xiaohua really didn’t want to face Tao Jia, and she didn’t even want to face Yan Bo either.

"Hmm, I’ll talk to Jiajia in a bit. I have to beg your pardon today; I’ll join you tomorrow."

Yan Bo looked at her worriedly, tightened his grip on her hand, and gently responded.

Tong Xiaohua was feeling very down, and Yan Bo could clearly sense it.

He glanced at Tao Jia, wondering if Tao Jia had said something strange that might have made Tong Xiaohua jealous?

But Tong Xiaohua’s reaction didn’t seem like jealousy!

Although she was mostly obedient in front of him, Yan Bo knew that she was actually quite explosive by nature. If she were really jealous, she would never act so accommodating.

She would probably flip the table and then point at him, cursing Yan Bo.

Halfway through the meal, even Tao Jia noticed Tong Xiaohua’s abnormality.

"Xiao Hua, what’s wrong? Are you tired?"

Tao Jia was a person full of vitality. With something interesting to do, she could stay awake for two days and nights and still be energetic, so many people couldn’t keep up with her.

She thought that Tong Xiaohua couldn’t keep up either.

Tong Xiaohua, faced with Tao Jia’s face full of concern, shook her head to deny it.

"No, I’m not tired; it’s just some issues at home."

The lie she told Yan Bo, of course, couldn’t be exposed in front of Tao Jia.

"I’m very sorry, but I might have to leave for a while after a while. I need to rush back home to deal with some things. Tomorrow, I’ll show you around again. I’m terribly sorry."

Tao Jia took her at her word, repeatedly waving her hand to comfort her.

"What’s there to be sorry about? If anyone should apologize, it’s me for interfering with your matters. Besides, after we finish eating, I’m going to go back to the hotel for a nap. You both go ahead with what you need to do."

Tao Jia seemed genuinely unconcerned, but Tong Xiaohua felt really bad about it.

Suppressing the various anxieties in her heart, she started talking to Tao Jia about some interesting stories from the university.

As the conversation went on, they started talking about Di Xu.

Tao Jia was particularly sensitive to such gossip. When Tong Xiaohua brought up Di Xu, she couldn’t help but start joking with Yan Bo.

"Yan Bo, you better be careful! The love between senior brothers and junior sisters can be very beautiful!"

Yan Bo gave her a stern look and put a piece of fried milk in her bowl.

"Eat more if it’s tasty, and stop talking nonsense!"

Despite what he said, a string of sour bubbles rose in Yan Bo’s heart.

Even though he knew those were only images conjured up by himself and Tao Jia, he just couldn’t suppress that rapidly fermenting imagination.

Tong Xiaohua glanced at Yan Bo and for some reason, felt that his gentle face seemed to have developed tiny cracks, revealing emotions completely different from his gentle exterior.

Subconsciously, she raised her hand, wanting to touch his face. She wanted to explain, "Don’t worry, there’s nothing between me and my senior brother."
