Chapter 958: Chapter 955: Arguing and Scolding for a Lifetime Is Fine

Tao Jia’s mouth dropped open as she stared at Yan Bo, speechless for quite some time.

Yan Bo had no intention of revealing Tong Xiaohua’s family background, but he also didn’t plan to hide everything.

"I thought she was just a commoner’s child..."

Tao Jia, recalling the superior attitude she had taken with Tong Xiaohua that morning when they talked about Yan Bo’s background, vaguely realized she might have done something foolish.

Could it be that Tong Xiaohua was actually the wealthy daughter of a rich family?

Yan Bo pondered for a moment, "Strictly speaking, she probably shouldn’t be considered a commoner’s child."

But, stepping back, if Tong Xiaohua were a commoner’s child, things would probably be much easier than they are now.

Tao Jia didn’t fully understand Yan Bo’s words, but he didn’t seem inclined to explain further, simply handing her the wine list before picking up the remote and casually selecting a few songs.

By the time the manager brought up the drinks, snacks, and fruit platter, Tong Xiaohua had also arrived.

"Jiajia, I’m really sorry about this afternoon, was your dinner good?" Tong Xiaohua apologized to Tao Jia as soon as she entered.

Yan Bo had her sit between him and Tao Jia, and while she was apologizing, he leaned in and kissed her on the cheek.

The moment she walked in, he noticed the gloom that had covered her face at noon had dispersed, and she had reverted to her usual confident and optimistic self.

Although he didn’t understand how she had come to terms with it all so quickly, as long as she didn’t dwell on it, everything else was just trivial.

Tong Xiaohua’s face heated up; she reached out to touch Yan Bo’s face, comforting him, yet still faced Tao Jia.

Tao Jia took it that Tong Xiaohua genuinely had been busy, and seeing her so earnestly apologize, she picked up a juice from the coffee table and offered it to Tong Xiaohua, "Drink this as your apology and it’s fine!"

Clearly, she was purposely giving Tong Xiaohua a way to save face.

Tong Xiaohua accepted the cup with a smile and drank the juice in one gulp.

Tao Jia, observant as she was, noticed that Yan Bo’s eyes had been glued to Tong Xiaohua’s face since she entered the room. The screen was displaying a song she was familiar with, so she grabbed a microphone and sat on the high stool at the front.

"I’m going to sing, you two make yourselves at home."

After saying this, she turned her back to Yan Bo and Tong Xiaohua and began to sing.

Her voice was average, her pitch was average, and her technically correct singing, though not surprising, was pleasant to listen to. As it was a gentle song, she sang with focus at the front, allowing Yan Bo and Tong Xiaohua to chat against the soft background music.

Yan Bo put his arm around Tong Xiaohua’s shoulders, turning her to face him as they looked into each other’s eyes.

"Xiao Hua, you’re not angry anymore?"

Even now, Yan Bo could hardly believe it.

From his perspective, hiding the truth from her, no matter how well-intentioned, was done for her sake.

But from her perspective, it was deception, and her anger would have been well-deserved.

So when he heard her say on the phone that she needed to think things over, his heart sank like a stone into the sea.

And now, Tong Xiaohua looked at him with sparkling eyes. Under his deep gaze, she squinted slightly, her lips curling up.

"Who said I’m not angry?"

Her mouth said she was angry, but her eyes and face were all mirth and mischief.

"It’s my fault, I shouldn’t have hidden it from you. Punish me however you want, as long as you’re not angry, that’s all that matters!"

Yan Bo cooed softly, pouting his lips and giving her a peck on hers.

"Really, I can do whatever I want?" asked Tong Xiaohua with a teasing, squinty smile.

"Of course, as long as you’re happy, you can boss me around for a lifetime."

"Without fighting back or talking back?" Tong Xiaohua’s mood was getting better and better, the curve of her lips growing larger.

Fortunately, Tao Jia was sitting in front and was so engrossed in singing that she would have definitely gotten goosebumps from these two being so sickeningly sweet if she hadn’t been.

When Yan Bo learned from Tong Xiaohua that she was able to get out of her rut so quickly thanks to the tough love from her future father-in-law,

he secretly decided to call his best buddy later and buy up all those comic series from him.

The couple, having resolved their little spat, seemed even sweeter than usual, with their endless sweet nothings leaving neither of them thinking about singing.

After Tao Jia had been hogging the microphone for nearly twenty minutes, singing five or six songs, she finally turned around because her throat couldn’t take it anymore.

And when she did turn around, she caught Yan Bo holding Tong Xiaohua in an embrace that they didn’t seem to want to end.

Tao Jia covered her eyes, regretting coming out to sing with this couple.

This wasn’t singing at all. It was her singing love songs in the front while the two in the back provided the mushy MTV background corresponding to her lyrics!

"Ahem..."

Eventually, Tao Jia couldn’t help it and decided to be the killjoy for a moment.

Because how could this couple be so cruel? This kiss had lasted for two or three minutes and they still hadn’t stopped?

She was one of the singles, after all. Being assaulted by such a steamy scene could trigger a heart attack at any minute!

Tong Xiaohua, who’d been melting sweetly into Yan Bo’s affections, was slumped loosely in his embrace. Hearing the cough, she hurriedly struggled to push Yan Bo away and stood up quickly.

"I... I’ll sing a song..."

The embarrassed Tong Xiaohua desperately wanted to find something to do to distract herself from the awkwardness, and as she spoke, she had already picked up the microphone and moved forward a few steps.

Yan Bo glared fiercely at Tao Jia, his face full of silent rage.

Tao Jia patted Tong Xiaohua’s shoulder meaningfully, then ran back to Yan Bo, stuffed the microphone into his hands, and pushed him playfully with a grin.

"Go ahead, you and Xiao Hua sing a few love songs for us to hear, I’ll drink wine!"

Yan Bo glared at her again and threatened in a low voice, "If you dare to spoil our fun again, I’m going to pack you up and send you back to the Capital City."

Tao Jia’s family kept a tight leash on her, and if it weren’t for the excuse of coming to see Yan Bo, she wouldn’t have been able to leave the house so easily without a few bodyguards following her.

Knowing her weak spot, Yan Bo hit the nail on the head.

Tao Jia blinked, raised her hand to her mouth, and made a zipping motion across her lips, before flopping down on the sofa to pour herself a drink.

Yan Bo thought it wasn’t a solution to leave things as they were, so he pulled the stool up next to Tong Xiaohua.

"Xiao Hua, shall I call Di Xu over?"

Tong Xiaohua immediately understood his intention and nodded, indicating she had no objections.

So, the poor Assistant Di Xu, who had finally gotten a day off after a busy week, was halfway to the bar when he was urgently called by his boss to the KTV.

Di Xu arrived in a rush, thinking he was there to accompany a client, only to find out it was just personal leisure time. To top it off, the future boss lady had decreed they could eat and play as much as they wanted, to do as they please.

Tao Jia, someone who couldn’t stand being alone, now had company and clamored to go downstairs to dance.

"Di Xu, you go down and have fun with Jiajia."

For Yan Bo, this was a perfect two-birds-one-stone solution.

He and Tong Xiaohua could enjoy their private world, and he didn’t have to worry about boring Tao Jia.
