Chapter 962: Chapter 959 Equally Matched Love

Tong Xiaohua felt both shy and annoyed, yet she helplessly drank the soup down.

Yan Bo, however, did not plan to let her go just yet, seizing the opportunity to suck heavily on her lips for a few seconds before finally releasing her, his eyes filled with deep meaning as he watched her with a smile.

"How is it, does it taste good?"

Tong Xiaohua, feeling somewhat dazed, blushed as she looked at him, not knowing whether to nod or to shake her head.

The cloud of gloom that had shrouded Yan Bo’s mood in the past few days was swept away in an instant like dark clouds dispersing before a strong wind, leaving a clear and bright sky, which found him in high spirits.

Yan Bo lifted his hand to cradle the back of her head, pressing his forehead against hers, speaking in a voice that was low and tender.

"Xiao Hua, thank you!"

Waves of intimate warmth wafted onto Tong Xiaohua’s face, causing her cheeks to redden even further.

She fluttered her eyelashes, casting her gaze downward.

The fervor in his eyes was too intense; if she didn’t look away, she feared she might get burned.

"Between us, there is no need for thanks!"

If it was true that before she knew his real identity, she had been somewhat uncertain about their future together,

then after learning about his background, and especially after her father’s frank talk, she had made up her mind that no matter what happened, she would face it together with him, without any division between them.

Waves of emotion surged in Yan Bo’s heart, the scorching look in his eyes deepening, yet he said nothing more, only inching his face closer still, brushing the tip of his nose against her cool one, gently nuzzling.

This gesture was filled with warmth and also brimming with tenderness.

Tong Xiaohua gently closed her eyes, offering her lips to his, delivering a light kiss as tentative as a dragonfly skimming the water’s surface.

Rather uncharacteristically, Yan Bo did not pursue her lips. After she moved away, he affectionately pressed his face against hers, gently rubbing against it.

While they were halfway through their meal, Tong Xiaohua suddenly said to Yan Bo, "How about we find a suitable time, and I’ll accompany you to visit your parents?"

She felt that since she was ready to actively face this relationship, it certainly included joining him to deal with any difficulties that might arise from his family.

Yan Bo was taken aback for a moment but, realizing what she meant, he reached out to hold her hand.

"Okay, I’ll make the arrangements."

Although Yan Bo was reluctant to let Tong Xiaohua suffer or be subjected to any scrutiny, his parents were indeed very important to him. Without their blessing, neither he nor she would likely be happy.

Moreover, since she had decided to face the challenge with him, he also needed to respect her wishes.

"Xiao Hua..."

But respecting her wishes also meant she had to understand the actual situation.

"Hmm?"

"I am not sure about my parents’ attitude towards you..."

Yan Bo felt a bit guilty; indeed, from the way his parents had pretended to be ignorant and then quickly tried to match him with Tao Jia, it was not hard to see they did not like Tong Xiaohua.

Or, to be more precise, what they disliked was Tong Xiaohua’s background, because they did not really know or understand her as a person.

Tong Xiaohua had been mentally prepared for Yan Bo’s parents’ attitude, so she nodded calmly, "I understand, I will join you in earnestly seeking their forgiveness and striving to get them to accept us soon."

It was as if Tong Xiaohua had matured overnight. For the first time in her relationship with Yan Bo, she stood in the position of being the one who shoulders responsibility.

In the past, she had been more so under the protection and pampering of Yan Bo.

After mentioning the visit to the Capital City with Yan Bo, Tong Xiaohua began preparing gifts for the meeting.

Although the departure date hadn’t been decided, picking out a suitable gift was no easy task.

For this purpose, Tong Xiaohua also sought advice from her parents.

Both Tong’s mother and Tong’s eldest uncle did not object to Tong Xiaohua taking the initiative to return to the Capital City with Yan Bo to visit the Yan Family elders.

Of course, they also hoped that their daughter would be liked by the Yan Family.

Of course, there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world, and there is no unwarranted fondness either.

If you want to be liked by others, you must first show affection towards them.

As the younger generation, the daughter naturally should take the first step.

"Or, Xiao Hua could just not say anything at first, let them like her, and then slowly reveal her background later?"

Qin Ming, her uncle, was extremely worried, afraid that Tong Xiaohua would be at a disadvantage because of her background.

Tong’s eldest uncle glanced at him, "Do you think the Yan Family is just for show? Do you think that if they want to know something, they can be kept in the dark by others?"

If the other party already knew about the existence of Yan Bo’s daughter, Tong Xiaohua guessed that the Tong Family’s ancestors might have already been investigated by them. Would hiding anything be of any use?

And Tong Xiaohua clearly thought the same, assuming the other party might have already thoroughly understood her background, she decided to just visit them openly, without any reason to shrink back or anything to fear.

But despite saying that, once the two of them truly boarded the plane to the Capital City, Tong Xiaohua finally became a bit restless.

Yan Bo was also anxious, but he didn’t want his emotions to affect Tong Xiaohua. So, he asked the air stewardess for a blanket and forcefully commanded Tong Xiaohua to take a nap.

Tong Xiaohua pouted, "Who does that? I’m not the least bit tired, how can I sleep?"

Yan Bo smiled at her, "Shall I sing you a lullaby then?"

Tong Xiaohua kicked him lightly, of course, she didn’t use much strength.

She was strong, and if she wasn’t careful about controlling her strength, she could easily bruise someone with her kick.

"How about you cover yourself with the blanket, close your eyes, and listen to music? If you can sleep, sleep; if not, just take it as a moment to relax."

Tong Xiaohua was not one to make a fuss for no reason. Seeing him go to such lengths to coax her, she obediently nestled down.

Yan Bo adjusted her seatback to the right height and covered her with the blanket.

Tong Xiaohua gently tapped his head, pulling him down for a peck on his lips.

"I’ll take a quick nap, but if you have things to do, go ahead and do them," she said.

She could vaguely sense that he had encountered some trouble recently.

But when she asked him two or three times, he refused to say anything, so she tactfully stopped asking.

Besides, she didn’t understand much about his company’s affairs, and not thinking she could help, she felt awkward to keep asking about them.

Yan Bo nodded, "Yeah, I actually have two plans to go over later. After I finish, I’ll take a nap too."

In the past week, all of the applications Yanhuang submitted to the banks in L City had been rejected for various reasons, something that had never happened before. Yan Bo didn’t believe it wasn’t his father playing some trick behind the scenes.

However, he too was a stubborn person.

Knowing that his father was pressuring him because of Tong Xiaohua, he had been hitting walls everywhere for over ten days but had not once called his father.
