Chapter 995: Chapter 992: Could It Be That You Haven’t Eaten Meat Yet?
Yan Bo didn’t know what to say to comfort him; after all, it was an old story.
Besides, it was he who had unintentionally ripped open someone else’s scars. No matter how he tried to console, it would seem pretentious.
"And then, with the third girlfriend, strictly speaking, she wasn’t really a girlfriend, but before we made it official, I brought up my parents’ likely reaction and asked her if she had the confidence to face it with me. Then, you guess what she said?"
Di Xu’s face was full of irony; it was clearly not a pleasant response.
Yan Bo shook his head, only to hear Di Xu say, "She directly cursed my parents as ’perverts,’ disgusting!"
Yan Bo was speechless. What kind of constitution did Di Xu have to end up meeting three women in a row, all from the same series?
He had only heard of assembly lines for plastic surgery; could it be that even the construction and characteristics of brains were mass-produced?
"Di Xu, you just haven’t met the right person yet."
Di Xu tugged at his lip, smiling wryly, "You don’t need to comfort me. I’ve already become indifferent. When it comes to romance, let’s just go with the flow."
"As for you, being able to meet my little junior sister who is willing to share both your troubles and responsibilities, you better cherish her. Honestly, girls like her are rare now."
Yan Bo nodded, "I know, and I will treat her well."
Tong Xiaohua didn’t know that Yan Bo’s mother was sick, but she was worried that Yan Bo had been too busy lately and might make himself ill from overwork.
She herself was also busy and didn’t have the time to deliver care and warmth in person. So, she simply asked Uncle Guan to cook a pot of water fish soup and had Uncle Yuan arrange a driver to deliver it.
After Yan Bo finished his work, just as he was about to return to his residence for lunch, Miss Guo’s internal phone line rang, "Boss, there is a driver outside claiming to be from Tong Xiaohua’s family, here to deliver something to you."
Yan Bo was somewhat surprised, "I’ll be right out; tell him to wait for me."
After grabbing his keys and coat, he went out and saw that it was indeed one of the Tong Family’s drivers.
"Third Young Master, Miss had Uncle Guan make some soup and asked me to deliver it to you."
Yan Bo took the soup cup, exchanged pleasantries for a bit, and then the driver took his leave.
"Tsk tsk, the boss lady is really virtuous, knowing you are working hard and specially sending over freshly made soup. I’m so jealous," said Miss Guo.
Just after she finished speaking, Di Xu, who had just come out to join him for lunch at the residence, nudged his arm, "Boss, you’ve really found a gem!"
A trace of happiness unconsciously appeared on Yan Bo’s face, "Yeah, you guys should be jealous!"
He and Di Xu carried the soup cup back to the residence together. Aunt Xin had just set up the dishes, and when she saw them enter, she turned to look their way.
"Mr. Yan, Mr. Di, lunch is ready."
"Aunt Xin, bring us two soup bowls, please."
Although Yan Bo really wanted to keep the soup to himself, Di Xu had been staying up late and working overtime with him, so it was only right to share at least a small part of the soup with him.
"Mr. Yan, did you buy this soup from outside? Whatever you want to drink, just let me know, and I’ll purchase the ingredients and make it," said Aunt Xin, appearing to feel quite guilty, as cooking and making soup were her duties.
"Aunt Xin, this isn’t takeout, Xiao Hua sent someone over with it. If I want to drink soup, I’ll let you know."
Yan Bo was a northerner, and he wasn’t particularly fond of these rich, slow-cooked soups.
Relieved, Aunt Xin hurriedly fetched two soup bowls from the kitchen and filled one for both Yan Bo and Di Xu.
As soon as the soup was poured, the rich aroma wafted through the dining room.
"What soup is this? It smells amazing," Di Xu said, taking a sip from his bowl.
Aunt Xin scooped up some of the ingredients with a spoon, "It’s water fish yam goji berry soup..."
Yan Bo, even if he didn’t often drink soup, knew that water fish was good for the body. And Di Xu, a Southerner, was even more aware of this.
"Hehe, Boss, Xiao Hua making you water fish yam goji berry soup, is she trying to hint at something?" Di Xu looked at Yan Bo with a suggestive expression.
Yan Bo glanced at him, "Fine, you can stop drinking it!"
Di Xu panicked, tilting his body to protect the soup.
"Why?"
"Aren’t you afraid this soup is hinting at something? Since you’re worried, go ahead and stop drinking it. Don’t waste my good stuff."
Di Xu glared at Yan Bo, and, fearing that Yan Bo really would take the soup back, picked up the bowl and guzzled down the rest of the soup in one go.
After the soup was gone, Di Xu started tempting fate again.
"Hey, Boss, are you really not... capable?"
Yan Bo raised his eyes and gave him a cutting look, "By saying that, are you implying you’re not capable?"
Di Xu shamelessly shook his head, "How would I know? I don’t have a girlfriend. To me, this soup is just tasty, just something that’s good for my health. But it’s different for you."
Yan Bo gave him another cutting look, "I’m not as beastly as you, drinking a bowl of soup and extending it to so many other things."
Di Xu rested his chin on his hand, staring at Yan Bo for quite a while.
At first, he was looking very seriously, but then a shallow, ambiguous smile surfaced on his face.
"Hey, I was thinking..."
This time, Yan Bo didn’t even bother to glance at him, standing up to serve himself another half-bowl of soup.
Di Xu didn’t need Yan Bo to cue him, his face growing brighter with a smile, "I mean, Boss, you couldn’t possibly still be a virgin, could you?"
Yan Bo still didn’t look at him, just hummed faintly, "What’s it to you?"
Having said that, he sat down to carefully savor the soup in his bowl.
Di Xu laughed like a fox that had gotten into a henhouse, "Hehe, so it turns out our Boss is still a virgin. That’s really something!"
Finally, Yan Bo looked up, his face very calm, his tone the same.
"What’s wrong with being a virgin? Have you forgotten? I’m only twenty years old. Tell me, Special Assistant Di, how old were you when you first had sex? Eighteen?"
Di Xu was momentarily stunned, then laughed awkwardly, hastily picking up his bowl and pointing at the dishes on the table with his chopsticks, "Let’s eat, let’s eat. We should eat the dishes while they’re hot, don’t waste Aunt Xin’s effort."
Yan Bo lifted his lips, "Yeah, remember to eat more. Starting tomorrow, you’ll be having takeout. So you can stop worrying if I’m incapable, and stop obsessing over whether I’m still a virgin!"
Di Xu howled, "Boss, come on! I was just kidding, forget this small person’s slip up, please forgive me!"
As he spoke, he pretended to slap his own face twice.
Yan Bo ignored him, just focusing on eating his food.
After finishing the meal, Yan Bo took a nap at home and went back to the bedroom, where he called Tong Xiaohua.
"Xiao Hua, the soup was delicious. Did you have the driver bring you a serving?"
Yan Bo knew that these past few days, Tong Xiaohua had also been very busy. When he worked late, she was often patrolling the various business locations.
"Yes, Uncle Yuan had the driver deliver it to both sides. I won’t be able to join you for dinner tonight. Remember to eat on time by yourself."
Yan Bo’s heart warmed, but then he couldn’t help but feel worried for her.
"Silly girl, my residence is just next door. Even if I forget to eat, Aunt Xin will remind me. It’s you that I’m worried about. You’ve been running around these days, so remember to eat on time and to dress warmly to avoid catching cold."
