Chapter 970: Chapter 967 You... are so bad!

Tong Xiaohua quietly locked eyes with him, and as they watched each other, they moved closer and closer like two magnets with opposing poles, until at last, lip met lip in a kiss.

At that moment, for both of them, no one could be closer than the other.

The kiss was not filled with the passion of a storm, but rather, it was warm and tender like a gentle breeze on a spring day.

After the kiss, Tong Xiaohua rested her head on Yan Bo’s shoulder to catch her breath.

When the passion that had welled up inside her slowly subsided, she lifted her head and gazed at Yan Bo with her eyes misty.

"Yan Bo, you always say I’m silly, but actually, the silliest person is you, do you know that?"

Yan Bo tapped her nose, chuckling, "Is that so? I had always thought of myself as incredibly smart!"

Tong Xiaohua snorted, clearly, she found his self-confidence somewhat misplaced.

"Come on, tell me, how am I silly?"

Yan Bo adjusted her position by supporting her buttocks with his hands, allowing her to sit more comfortably and giving himself a chance to cool down a bit.

It should be noted that this sort of intimate contact was a huge challenge and temptation for a young man in the prime of his youth.

Tong Xiaohua was completely unaware of the struggle between Yan Bo’s reason and instincts, as he concealed it too well; moreover, in some respects, she truly had no experience whatsoever.

Luckily, although she did not know Yan Bo was strenuously suppressing his instincts with his rational mind, she compliantly distanced herself from him a bit.

Because she felt that being too close to Yan Bo was, in a sense, torture for her as well.

Yan Bo had this magical power that always made her want to indulge in his embrace.

But of course, she couldn’t always be a weak person dependent on him.

Especially after hearing Yan Bo’s father’s words, she felt even more determined to grow stronger and stand side by side with Yan Bo.

"You’re certainly silly! Out of all the well-matched young ladies from aristocratic families you could choose from, why on earth did you pick me?"

This was a question Tong Xiaohua couldn’t figure out.

As she said this, she propped herself up with her hands on Yan Bo’s shoulders, sitting steadily on his knee, her long legs dangling to the floor, and her cute, fair toes absentmindedly rubbing against the carpet’s soft pile.

To keep his mind from wandering, Yan Bo forcefully diverted his gaze from her slightly flirty face to her mischievously twirling toes on the carpet.

"Because you’re cute!"

"Where am I cute?" Tong Xiaohua never thought of herself as someone related to cuteness.

"From head to toes, you’re cute..."

Yan Bo said meaningfully, kicking off his own slippers and letting his nimble toes climb onto hers, teasing them deliberately and unintentionally.

An electric-like tingling sensation shot up from her toes without warning, and the blush that had been fading from her face surged back onto Tong Xiaohua’s cheeks at once.

She stood up abruptly as if she had stepped on a landmine, and instinctively took two steps back, but Yan Bo, seeing that she was about to bump into the coffee table behind her, quickly reached out to hold her waist.

"What’s wrong? See a ghost?"

Tong Xiaohua glared at him, then at his mischievous toes, "You... are too bad!"

Yan Bo looked up at her with amusement, "How am I bad?"

Two equally innocent fools, in the realm of man-woman relationships, both at a loss.

Then, together, they explored all sorts of unknown territories.

Just now, when Yan Bo’s toes touched hers, the tingling sensation and shock were no less intense than what she felt.

It’s just that he was better at concealing it, that’s all.

At this moment, him pretending to be calm, the gaze he fixed on her carried an air of affection that even he himself hadn’t noticed.

Tong Xiaohua was taken aback by his seemingly smiling eyes, then a wave of annoyance surged within her.

How had she never realized that this man was not only there, but also terribly mischievous?

Knowing full well how embarrassed and uncomfortable she was at the moment, he still had the mood to tease her!

Tong Xiaohua cursed Yan Bo silently in her heart, yet her heart couldn’t help but race "thump thump thump" faster and faster.

Yan Bo saw her irritation and far from letting her off the hook, the hand on her waist gave her a couple of deliberate light tickles.

Tong Xiaohua, as if her switch had been flipped, bounced back and broke free from his hold, turning around to flee in a panic.

"I’m sleepy, I’m going to bed!"

She dropped that line and slammed the door shut with a "bang."

Yan Bo watched the door close with a smile, and only after a long while did he let out a long sigh.

It seemed that in the future, intimate contact between them should be moderated better, otherwise, if every time was like today, challenging his tolerance limit, he could not guarantee that he could always restrain his instincts with such strong rationality.

The next morning, the two of them walked out of their rooms at almost the same time and exchanged a silent glance.

Then, they both noticed the obvious dark circles under each other’s eyes.

"Didn’t sleep well last night?" they asked in unison.

Then, they both laughed and shook their heads, taking a step towards each other, opening their arms and embracing each other tightly.

Yan Bo pressed a kiss gently against her cheek, caressing it tenderly, "I changed our flight to noon. We still have a morning to spare, where would you like to go? I’ll accompany you!"

Leaning in his embrace, Tong Xiaohua thought for a moment, "Do we have enough time to meet up with Jiajia? If not, let’s just wander around the nearby alleys. Anyway, I don’t have anywhere I particularly want to go."

Yan Bo pushed her away slightly and led her to sit down on the sofa.

"Tao Jia has had her mobile phone turned off the whole time. I asked her brother, and he said she went on a field trip to draw and he doesn’t know where she has gone. Let’s meet her next time we come back."

Tong Xiaohua took the hot chocolate Yan Bo handed her, took a sip, and exhaled with satisfaction.

"Then let’s just wander around..."

Yan Bo seemed lost in thought, just watching her with his head tilted.

"Or do you have something else in mind?"

Tong Xiaohua sensed something and while speaking, offered the cup to Yan Bo’s lips.

Yan Bo usually didn’t like sweet beverages, but still, he took a big gulp of the hot chocolate, guided by Tong Xiaohua’s hand.

"Mmm, my sister called me last night, and I was thinking... do you want to meet her?"

Yan Bo’s second sister was very assertive and unlike traditional women in temperament. She had none of their gentleness, but she seemed to have a lot in common with Tong Xiaohua.

His intuition told him that his sister probably wouldn’t dislike a girl like Tong Xiaohua. Perhaps, arranging a meeting between them might ease Tong Xiaohua’s mind a bit.

Tong Xiaohua was clearly hesitant, "Your sister? Will she be like Uncle?"

She didn’t mind meeting any of Yan Bo’s relatives. It’s just that, with his parents so vehemently opposed, meeting his second sister, wouldn’t the scene just be a repeat of last night’s?
