Chapter 981: Chapter 978: Can’t Be Like Liu Xiahui

Tong Xiaohua felt very reluctant inside, but with four people present, the vote was three to one—a completely one-sided situation.

"Good girl, sign this and we’ll go out to eat," Yan Bo coaxed her.

Tong Xiaohua held the pen in her hand, still hesitating.

Seeing this, the eldest Tong had no choice but to administer the final strong dose, "Xiao Hua, think about it, for the sake of the Company, Xiao Yan won’t dare to treat you badly in the future, right?"

Tong Xiaohua looked up, "Dad, if I have to use these shares as a tool to blackmail his affections, I am even less willing to sign."

Tong’s mother gave the eldest Tong a fierce glare, then comforted her daughter, "Xiao Hua, don’t listen to your dad’s nonsense. Xiao Yan is right, once you sign the agreement, Yanhuang will be like your own child with him."

This reasoning Tong Xiaohua could barely accept.

In the end, she did sign her name on the agreement. Before signing, she made it clear to Yan Bo, "I can sign my name, but I declare I won’t interfere with matters regarding Yanhuang at all."

She knew very well the gap in abilities between herself and Yan Bo. A company like Yanhuang was destined to become a major enterprise one day, and only someone like Yan Bo would have the capacity to grow Yanhuang into a vast business.

Yan Bo smiled and promised her, "Of course, you are the boss lady after all. Just sit at home and count money comfortably, and leave the tough work to me!"

With his promise obtained, Tong Xiaohua then said to the eldest Tong, "Dad, the same goes for you. From now on, you’re not allowed to use this agreement to threaten him!"

The eldest Tong’s head ached tremendously, "Baby, Dad is helping you, why are you making me out to be such a scoundrel?"

Tong Xiaohua didn’t care about these excuses, her gaze fixed on the eldest Tong until he waved his hand in defeat.

"Alright, alright, I promise, regarding Yanhuang and the agreement, I won’t interfere at all, happy now, Ancestor?"

Only then did Tong Xiaohua feel satisfied and penned her signature on the agreement with a rustle.

The other three people present finally breathed a sigh of relief.

That night, Yan Bo, the eldest Tong, and a few others including Qin Ming, drained a jar of Osmanthus Brew.

The wine made them happy, and they chatted very joyfully into the night.

If before today the eldest Tong was fifty percent wary and discontent with Yan Bo, now he trusted Yan Bo completely, directly accepting him as a son-in-law.

In the meantime, Tong Xiaohua checked on the three men several times, attempting to persuade them without success, then went to call her mother to step in.

Tong’s mother was exceptionally tolerant, "Let it be, your father hasn’t had such a happy drink in a long time. Seeing as he’s happy today, let the two grandpas drink to their heart’s content."

Tong’s mother was very clear that her health wasn’t great, and with her daughter not yet fully securing her position at the helm of the Tong Family, the eldest Tong was extremely cautious every day, fearing any mishap that might leave his wife and daughter unattended.

The appearance of Yan Bo really eased the eldest Tong’s mind a lot; the heavy burden on his shoulders, even if not entirely shaken off, was at least lightened by thirty to forty percent.

Of course, none of these would be mentioned to Tong Xiaohua by the eldest Tong.

Tong Xiaohua looked worriedly at the three men still deep in lively conversation in the dining room, then, biting her lip, resigned herself from intervening.

"Mom, you go back to your room to rest, I’ll go study as well," she said.

With the end-of-term exams approaching, Tong Xiaohua, a freshman student, naturally had to pick up her books and cram.

When the three men finished the jar of Osmanthus Brew, the clock had already struck eleven. After Qin Ming left, the eldest Tong and Yan Bo each went back to their rooms.

Yan Bo, reeking of alcohol himself, didn’t want to disturb Tong Xiaohua and went straight to the end of the corridor into his own designated room.

Having stayed there several times before, his clothes, pajamas, and toiletries were all left from previous visits, neatly arranged in the cabinet.

Yan Bo took his pajamas and went to take a shower. When he came out, he saw Tong Xiaohua sitting on the bed.

"Xiao Hua, aren’t you asleep yet?"

Yan Bo was happy inside, but he didn’t dare to come closer to her.

Usually, he could trust his own reasoning, but today was different.

Firstly, since Tong Xiaohua had helped resolve Yanhuang’s issue, he felt happy; and when a person is excited, their reasoning tends to weaken significantly.

Secondly, he had drunk quite a bit, and alcohol has always been something that helps one to be merry. Therefore, with even a slight provocation, those flames in his heart would blaze furiously with the alcohol’s fanning.

Tong Xiaohua gave him a strange look, not understanding why he wouldn’t sit at the edge of the large bed but chose to go around and sit on the Sofa instead.

"Why are you sitting so far away?" Tong Xiaohua had no idea of Yan Bo’s painstaking effort.

She thought he might be regretting the agreement and was unhappy about it.

Yan Bo heard her displeasure and confessed with a wry smile.

"Xiao Hua, I really can’t be Liu Xiahui."

Tong Xiaohua was stunned for a second, and after she understood his meaning, the blood rushed to her face.

Then, she remembered his reaction at his home that morning.

"You..."

Her face flushed, she glared at him angrily and picked up a Pillow from the bed to throw at him.

Although Yan Bo had drunk quite a bit, he was still agile enough to catch the pillow, holding it in front of him with his chin resting on it, looking expectantly at Tong Xiaohua.

Her blushing was really very pretty, and very cute.

Her skin was originally pale, and under the light, the pink flush made it seem even more delicate, tempting him to pounce and bite her cheek right away.

But reason told him that if he indulged in that first nibble, he wouldn’t be able to stop. He would want a second bite, a third, a fourth...

"Xiao Hua, truly, I am a normal man. There are times when, especially like now, you must absolutely not challenge my limits."

This statement served as a warning to Tong Xiaohua, and also to himself.

Yan Bo wanted to go all the way with Tong Xiaohua. Therefore, he hoped that all advancements between them were choices made readily and willingly after an honest exchange of feelings, not from an impulsive physical act.

Those matters between men and women should be born from love, and that’s called love.

Doing it purely out of impulse is just satisfying needs.

The difference between the two was very clear to Yan Bo.

From the initial anger, Tong Xiaohua eventually calmed down and thought seriously about what he said.

It wasn’t hard to understand that Yan Bo behaved that way because he respected her and it was for her own good.

After understanding this, her tone softened a lot, and she got up, picked up the cup from the Bedside cabinet, walking over and handing it to him.

"This is Hangover tea, drink up."

Yan Bo followed her hand and brought the cup to his lips, and with one move, he drank all the liquid in the cup in one gulp.

Tong Xiaohua pursed her lips, her Tone slightly disdainful, "Look at how drunk you are, not even testing the temperature. What if it was hot?" Saying that, she tried to retract her hand.

Yan Bo held onto her hand, not letting go, and after planting a kiss on the back of it, he looked up at her with a smile, "You wouldn’t bear to scald me!"
