Chapter 959: Chapter 956: Lulling Her to Sleep Every Night

That night, the four of them had such a great time at KTV that they didn’t leave until after two in the morning.

Afterward, Di Xu treated everyone to a midnight snack on L City’s gourmet street.

Grilled oysters, crispy milk curd, and all sorts of gourmet food piled up on the table.

The four of them let loose, eating and bragging to their hearts’ content. By the time they finished the midnight snack, not only had Tao Jia and Di Xu’s relationship progressed from strangers to good buddies, even Tong Xiaohua and Di Xu had evolved from their previously polite senior-junior relationship to become friends who could tease each other.

Yan Bo felt both reassured and a twinge of helplessness and jealousy over this change.

Logically, he wanted Tong Xiaohua to have more friends, but since Di Xu was her idol, no matter how generous he was, he couldn’t help feeling a little bit of heartburn.

Luckily, Di Xu was well aware of his boss’s concern for Tong Xiaohua, and besides, the boss had specifically asked him to come to accompany Tao Jia, hadn’t he?

So, most of the time, he was introducing Tao Jia to the culture and history of L City and recommended a lot of fun places and delicious food.

Both he and Tong Xiaohua were natives of L City. The difference was that he truly came from an ordinary household with decent financial stability. His family respected his wishes, so for many years, he had lived life quite willfully and capriciously.

What’s fun and tasty in L City, he knew even better than what one could find on the internet.

"Di Xu, why don’t you be our tour guide tomorrow?"

Tao Jia, inspired by his words, wished she could stay in L City for another month or two to explore all the fun corners and to try all the delicious food.

Di Xu wasn’t afraid to casually agree to anything. An entire evening’s interaction was enough for him to understand Miss Tao Jia’s background.

Thus, to someone as spontaneous as him, such problematic individuals were rarely in his contact list unless work demanded it.

Yan Bo caught his querying gaze and nodded slightly to him.

With the boss’s approval, Di Xu agreed to take on the role.

The conversation thus shifted to the planning of the itinerary for Sunday during the day.

With the table of food nearly cleared, the daytime activities had been more or less arranged.

By the time everyone went their separate ways, it was four in the morning.

Since they had all been drinking, Yan Bo and Tao Jia hailed a taxi, Di Xu called for one as well, and Tong Xiaohua had a driver following her. After saying goodbye, they each got into their cars.

Tong Xiaohua’s day had been like a rollercoaster of emotions, and combined with drinking quite a bit of alcohol, she was exhausted by the effects of the booze at this point.

On the way home, she leaned against the seat and fell straight to sleep.

"Miss, we’re home," said Brother Yang, stopping the car at the Tong Family’s gate and calling out to her gently as he turned around.

Groggy, Tong Xiaohua got out of the car. Uncle Yuan, who was always diligent and responsible, had already run out to see her in her dazed state and quickly came up to help her.

"How did you get so tired?" Uncle Yuan asked softly with concern.

Finally, glancing at Brother Yang who had followed, he chided him in a low voice.

"You too, why didn’t you persuade her more? Drinking so much is harmful to your health!"

Brother Yang felt wronged, "Miss was with Young Master Yan Bo..."

With Young Master Yan Bo there, when would it be his place as a driver to speak up?

Uncle Yuan stopped scolding him and simply sent him to the kitchen to prepare some hangover tea while he himself helped Tong Xiaohua into the bedroom.

Tong Xiaohua was just extremely tired, not drunk. After entering the bedroom and sitting on the edge of the bed, she rubbed her eyes a few times under Uncle Yuan’s concerned gaze.

"Uncle Yuan, I’m fine, sorry for disturbing your sleep, go back to bed," she said.

Although Uncle Yuan was the butler, Tong Xiaohua had always treated him like an elder.

She felt very bad for waking him up in the middle of the night.

"I asked Yang Zi to make a cup of hangover tea for you. Drink it, then I’ll go to sleep," said Butler.

Uncle Yuan was also very stubborn. Tong Xiaohua intended to say she wasn’t drunk, but couldn’t bear to refuse Uncle Yuan’s goodwill and obediently drank the hangover tea.

After Butler and Yang Ge left, Tong Xiaohua quickly showered in the bathroom. When she came out, she saw her phone flashing on the bed.

She climbed onto the bed, picked up the phone, and saw that it was a missed call from Yan Bo five minutes ago.

Tong Xiaohua crawled into the quilt, pulling it up to her shoulders, feeling warm and cozy all over. Only then did she pick up the phone and hit redial.

The phone rang for a long time, and just as Tong Xiaohua was about to hang up, the call was answered.

"Xiao Hua, did I wake you up?"

"No, I just finished bathing. What about you? Have you been home for a while?"

Tong Xiaohua wriggled in the quilt to find a comfortable position, yawning deeply.

"Feeling sleepy?" Yan Bo, probably hearing her yawn, asked with concern.

"It’s nothing, go on..."

She and he had gotten used to chatting on the phone before going to sleep. However, most of the time, it was Tong Xiaohua who was so sleepy that she would fall asleep while chatting.

And Yan Bo didn’t seem to mind at all.

In fact, he was quite proud of his ability to lull her to sleep over the phone.

"If you’re too tired tomorrow, don’t force yourself to go. Di Xu and I can just take her around," he said.

Tong Xiaohua laughed, "What kind of host are you, Yan Bo the Young Master?"

Yan Bo didn’t care what others thought of him. Tao Jia was indeed a good friend, but still not as important as his girlfriend.

"You look so tired, it breaks my heart."

Tong Xiaohua chuckled again, feeling a warm joy in her heart.

"It’s okay, aren’t we meeting at ten tomorrow? I can still get four more hours of sleep."

Yan Bo couldn’t argue with her and his tone became unintentionally gentle and soft.

After a few more words, Tong Xiaohua unknowingly drifted off to sleep.

In her mind, Yan Bo’s gentle voice still lingered, but when she opened her eyes, it was already broad daylight.

Tong Xiaohua abruptly sat up, scratched her messy hair, and looked at the time.

Ah! It’s nine o’clock!

Tong Xiaohua quickly washed up, got dressed, grabbed her backpack, walked out of the bedroom, and ran towards the door.

"Xiao Hua, aren’t you having breakfast?" Tong Xiaohua’s mother’s caring voice came from behind her.

"Mom, I made plans with Yan Bo to go out with his friend, and I’m running late. I’ll just buy something to eat on the way," she called back as she changed her shoes and dashed outside.

Before her mother could instruct her further, Butler had already packed some snacks and buns and chased after her, handing them through the car window.

"Thank you, Butler. I won’t be home for meals all day today," said Tong Xiaohua.

Since she had planned to be with Tao Jiajia, Tong Xiaohua had rearranged her schedule several days in advance, freeing up two days just for this occasion.

After all, she could tell from Yan Bo’s words that Tao Jia was a very important friend to Yan Bo.

Out of love for Yan Bo, she couldn’t neglect Tao Jia in any way.
