Chapter 992: Chapter 989: Supporting You for a Lifetime

Tong Laoda hadn’t provided any news for the entire morning, and after ten o’clock, Yan Bo and Tong Xiaohua left Yanhuang together to pick up An Zijun at the airport.

Tong Xiaohua thought that this An Zijun should be a middle-aged man, similar to Uncle Zheng.

However, when she heard someone calling Yan Bo and looked in that direction, she saw an extremely fashionably dressed handsome man.

She gave Yan Bo a questioning glance, and he nodded, confirming her guess.

Yan Bo took Tong Xiaohua’s hand and went up to greet him, "Zijun, it’s been a long time."

"Young Master, it’s been a long time!"

The handsome man opened his arms and gave Yan Bo a big hug.

After a warm embrace, An Zijun smiled and extended his hand to Tong Xiaohua, "Hello, beautiful. You must be the third sister-in-law? My name is An Zijun, I’m Yan Bo’s troublemaker friend!"

Tong Xiaohua had been dating Yan Bo for several months, and this was the first time she heard the title "third sister-in-law," which made her pause briefly. After coming back to her senses, her ears turned red as she reached out and shook hands with An Zijun.

"Hello, I’m Tong Xiaohua. Thank you for making the trip; it must have been tough."

But An Zijun just laughed, "It’s not tough at all. The Young Master pays a very generous salary; I’m not at a loss."

Although he said this, Tong Xiaohua remembered the words and expressions Uncle Zheng used when mentioning this man the night before.

Clearly, this was not someone who could be hired just for money.

In the car, the three shed their formalities and spoke in detail about the current situation.

When it came to official business, An Zijun seemed like a different person.

After picking up An Zijun, the trio met up with Tong Laoda and Uncle Zheng, had lunch together, and then An Zijun left with Tong Laoda and Uncle Zheng.

Since most of the Tong Family’s branches were forcibly closed, Tong Xiaohua, having nothing to do, returned to Yanhuang with Yan Bo.

"Actually, I think I should accompany my dad to meet those people." Tong Xiaohua had mentioned this several times in front of her father but it was promptly and decisively rejected each time.

Yan Bo had thought about this issue and then came to the following conclusion, "Xiao Hua, Tong Shu didn’t want you to get involved in this matter not because it was dangerous and he wanted to exclude you. Rather, it’s because within those affairs, due to various reasons, many of the Tong Family’s operations are no longer active, and since they’ve become things of the past, it’s normal for Tong Shu to not want you meddling."

If Yan Bo hadn’t guessed wrong, after deciding to hand over the Tong Family to Tong Xiaohua, Tong Laoda gradually ended many of the family’s more sensitive affairs.

In any case, the Tong Family, in Yan Bo’s eyes, seemed now just an ordinary business family.

"Xiao Hua, come here..." After finishing, Yan Bo waved to Tong Xiaohua who was nestled in thought on the sofa.

Tong Xiaohua glanced at him, "What’s up?"

Yan Bo didn’t say anything, just waved at her again.

Tong Xiaohua got up reluctantly, and walked sluggishly towards him.

Yan Bo wrapped his arm around her waist and neatly lifted her onto his lap.

"Do you feel uncomfortable because Tong Shu is keeping you out of everything?"

Tong Xiaohua nodded earnestly, "Mmm, I know he’s doing it for my good. But he’s also getting older; he can’t bear it all the time, can he?"

Yan Bo kissed her face, "Your way of thinking isn’t wrong, but think about it carefully, of all the things Tong Shu talked about last night, how many did you personally experience?"

Tong Xiaohua recalled blankly for a moment, then obediently shook her head.

"It seems like none..."

"That’s right, since you don’t know anything about it, how do you think you could be of any help?"

"So An Zijun doesn’t know either?" Tong Xiaohua was still insistent.

Yan Bo laughed at her stubbornness, "He is a lawyer, are you? And look, I wasn’t involved in this, was I?"

Seeing that she didn’t speak, Yan Bo asked her, "Do you know what ’the more you help, the more you hinder’ means?"

Tong Xiaohua turned her head and rolled her eyes at him, "Yan Bo, my IQ isn’t that low, okay?"

Yan Bo caressed her face with a smile, as if to soothe her agitation.

"Everyone has things they can’t handle on their own, insisting on meddling without understanding only holds others back. Trust your dad, and trust Uncle Ming and Uncle Zheng, okay?"

By this time, Tong Xiaohua, reluctant as she was, could only nod helplessly.

And like that, Tong Xiaohua spent the next three days in Yan Bo’s office.

The first day, she went through the documents Yan Bo had tossed her, bit by bit; on the second and third days, she simply packed her books and notebook into her backpack and reviewed in Yan Bo’s office—after all, the final exams were just a few days away.

Yanhuang’s staff saw Yan Bo and Tong Xiaohua coming to work together for several days in a row, and during a meeting, a high-ranking manager started teasing Yan Bo.

"Boss, are you worried about the boss lady, or is the boss lady worried about you?"

Yan Bo thought to himself, how could he, an exemplary youth of impeccable character, not be trusted by Tong Xiaohua?

"What’s there for her to worry about with a man like me?"

"Boss, men are the world’s creature least consistent between their appearances and actions. There are plenty of men who say one thing and do another, you know!"

Yan Bo couldn’t be bothered to argue and after returning to the office, he tossed the documents onto the coffee table and sat down next to Tong Xiaohua to pull her into his embrace.

After an almost breath-stealing hot kiss, Tong Xiaohua panted in Yan Bo’s arms and heard him ask, "Xiao Hua, do you think I’m consistent inside and out?"

Tong Xiaohua looked up at him in confusion, her slow-reacting brain not keeping up, "Huh? What do you mean ’consistent inside and out’?"

Yan Bo lowered his head and gently rubbed his lips against her rosy ones.

"Did my kiss stupify you?"

Tong Xiaohua’s IQ slightly recovered, and she pulled a sweet smile towards him, "Yes, your kiss has stupified me, and now you have to take responsibility for me."

Yan Bo looked deeply into her eyes and nodded solemnly.

"Mhm, I will take responsibility for you for a lifetime."

Tong Xiaohua reached out to touch his lips, "Even if I become penniless and destitute, will you still take responsibility for me?"

Yan Bo seized her hand and nibbled it gently in his mouth.

"Let me ask you, if I become penniless and destitute, will you take responsibility for me?"

Tong Xiaohua shook her head with a laugh, "Nope!"

Yan Bo’s eyes flashed dangerously as he pretended to bite her.

Tong Xiaohua giggled and burrowed into his embrace, desperately wriggling closer to him.

It was some time before she raised her flushed face and patted his stiff, feigned-angry face, "If you turned into a destitute pauper, I’d toss you a yuan and then support you for a lifetime!"

Yan Bo couldn’t help but chuckle, "Golden master, could you spare a little more? One yuan can’t even buy a can of soda. Are you going to support me for a lifetime with that?"

Tong Xiaohua spread her hands, "Yeah, because I’m also a pauper with only one yuan left. Do you want to be supported or not? If you’re not willing, I’ll find someone else!"
