Chapter 968: Chapter 965 How Can We Not Be Separated?

Tong Xiaohua had never felt so disregarded in all her life.

This embarrassment was even more uncomfortable than having a bucket of cold water poured over her head.

But for the sake of Yan Bo, for the sake of their relationship, she had to endure this embarrassment.

Moreover, to prevent Yan Bo from feeling too guilty, she couldn’t even show the distress in her heart.

She admitted that she was not an expert at hiding her emotions, so she could only bury her face in his shoulder until the overwhelming discomfort in her heart subsided somewhat before lifting her head and gently pushing Yan Bo away.

"Let’s go eat..." she whispered.

Yan Bo looked down at her, his heart aching, but he found that even with his self-proclaimed eloquence, at this moment, he had no idea what to say to comfort her other than apologizing.

And he who thought of himself as strong realized that, apart from feeling sorry and distressed, he surprisingly couldn’t think of anything to protect her.

Tong Xiaohua looked up into his eyes, filled with guilt and affection, and gently pushed on his back, "Come on, I’m too embarrassed to go in without you leading the way!"

Silent, Yan Bo grasped her hand and led her into the dining room.

Yan Zhong and Yan’s mother were already seated in the dining room, and Tong Xiaohua greeted them again, "Uncle, Auntie!"

In the end, Yan’s mother couldn’t harden her heart and nodded slightly to Tong Xiaohua, saying, "Have a seat!"

Whether that "have a seat" was addressed to her younger son or to Tong Xiaohua was unclear.

But one thing was certain, her words made Tong Xiaohua feel slightly better.

As for Yan Zhong, from beginning to end, he never lifted his eyelids, just picked up his bowl and sipped the soup as usual.

Yan Bo pulled out a chair, steadied Tong Xiaohua by the shoulders and waited for her to be seated before he sat down himself, right next to her.

After sitting down, he didn’t rush to start eating, but instead turned to Yan Zhong with a serious and formal expression.

"Dad, Xiao Hua and I have decided that we want to spend our lives together," he said.

Yan Zhong’s sharp gaze swept over, "That’s your business!"

The implication was that it’s one thing for you to decide, and quite another whether I approve or not.

After speaking, he glanced at Tong Xiaohua for two seconds, moved his gaze away, and then looked back at Yan’s mother.

"We’re visiting Old Tao’s family tomorrow!"

Tong Xiaohua didn’t know that the two parents had tried to match Tao Jia and Yan Bo, but her intuition told her that the Old Tao’s family mentioned by Yan Zhong was Tao Jia’s home.

However, she didn’t give it much thought, assuming that Yan Zhong was just casually chatting with Yan’s mother.

Having finished speaking to Yan’s mother, Yan Zhong looked towards Yan Bo, "Bo, you should come as well."

Tong Xiaohua had been paying attention to Yan Zhong and Yan’s mother’s conversation, and now turned back to look at Yan Bo.

"Dad, I won’t be going, I’m returning to L City first thing tomorrow morning!"

Tong Xiaohua was somewhat surprised; she and Yan Bo had agreed to stay in the Capital City for two days and one night.

His sudden decision to leave early tomorrow morning—was there something urgent at the company? But she had been with him all day today and, seemingly, he hadn’t taken any phone calls.

Just as Tong Xiaohua was puzzling over this, a loud "bang" erupted, followed by Yan Zhong’s unrestrained angry question.

"Back to L City? Have you figured out where your home really is?"

Tong Xiaohua’s face was one of shock!

She had thought that only her own father could have a temper as explosive as a storm, but it turned out, Yan Bo’s father also had a temper like firecrackers, ready to blow up at the slightest touch!

What shocked her even more was that Yan Bo, who always had an extremely good temper, suddenly "smack" put down his bowl and, with a fierce look on his face, loudly retorted to Yan Zhong.

"Dad, I’m very clear, this is my home, L City is my home too! What’s not clear is you!"

Tong Xiaohua saw that the war between the two grandpas was about to ignite and hurriedly reached out to tug at Yan Bo, signaling him to be patient.

However, before Yan Bo could react further, Yan Zhong across from him had already "whooshed" his chopsticks flying toward Yan Bo.

Tong Xiaohua broke out in a cold sweat, thankful that Yan Bo had fast reflexes; he swiftly dodged the surprise attack of the chopsticks.

"Smack", "crackle"! The chopsticks hit the glass screen behind and then fell to the floor.

"Old Ye!"

Yan Bo’s mother evidently got scared as well, reaching out to tug at Yan Zhong’s arm, "Can’t you talk this out nicely? What if you hurt the child?"

With an extremely ugly look on his face, Yan Zhong shook off her hand, "Talk nicely? Does he look like he wants to talk to us nicely?"

Yan Zhong pointed his finger at Tong Xiaohua, "This brat suddenly brings someone home, trying to catch us off guard! Has he ever thought about the situation of me and his brother and sister? Fine, you be the judge, who is hurting whom?"

Tong Xiaohua had done countless mental preparations and had imagined many things Yan Bo’s parents might say.

But she had never imagined that they would say something so direct and hurtful.

This kind of face-ripping talk made Tong Xiaohua feel extremely embarrassed.

Although she came from a gangster background, she never thought of harming anyone, much less dragging anyone down with her.

Now that Yan Zhong had put it this way, it was as if by being with Tong Xiaohua, disaster was bound to befall the entire Yan Family.

Such baseless accusations were hard for Tong Xiaohua to accept. The anger she had been suppressing, like champagne that had been vigorously shaken, burst out as the rapidly expanding gas "boom" came rushing out.

"Uncle! Yan Bo and I are dating rightfully, and to my knowledge, haven’t done anything to harm you. What gives you the right to say that Yan Bo bringing me here has harmed you?"

Tong Xiaohua also stood up, tilting her head like a warrior ready to confront the furious gaze of Yan Zhong.

Whether it’s crime or wrongdoing, one must be caught red-handed to be condemned. Yan Zhong was accusing her without evidence; where was the proof?

Yan Bo also hadn’t expected his father to be so merciless, actually cursing right in front of him and Tong Xiaohua. He looked at Tong Xiaohua, his eyes red with anger.

Feeling both distressed and guilty, he reached out to grasp Tong Xiaohua’s hand, which was trembling slightly at her side, and suddenly, he made up his mind.

He stood up, pulling Tong Xiaohua into his embrace, his eyes fearless as he locked eyes with Yan Zhong directly.

"Dad, I brought Xiao Hua home to show respect to you as my parents, but that doesn’t mean I will tolerate you verbally harming her without limit. I’m sorry that today was unpleasant for you!"

After saying this, Yan Bo turned around with Tong Xiaohua in his arms.

Seeing that Tong Xiaohua hadn’t recovered, he kissed her on the face, "Xiao Hua, let’s go back to the hotel."

After he spoke, he half dragged Tong Xiaohua as they left the dining room.

Behind them, Yan Zhong, choked with anger, directly threw his bowl "clang" against the closed door.

"Have the guts not to come back then!"

Yan Bo paused outside the door, turned his head toward the inside and shouted.

"Dad, Mom, you two think it over. Anyway, Xiao Hua and I are not going to be separated!"

Inside, there was another "clang"!
