Chapter 844: Chapter 841: See You Tomorrow Night!

"Xiao Hua, I’ve made plans to go watch a match at the boxing gym; do you want to come along?"

Given her own passion for boxing, she must love watching boxing matches as well.

To his surprise, Tong Xiaohua shook her head without hesitation and rejected him, "No, thanks, I’m feeling a bit sleepy and want to go home to sleep."

Such a statement, coming from someone else, would undoubtedly be considered a blunt rejection, making the inviter feel uncomfortable.

But Yan Bo didn’t feel that way, because he knew if she said she was tired, she really was tired, and not using it as an excuse.

"Alright, then you should head back and rest early. Stop worrying about those account books. If there’s anything you don’t understand, just ask me over dinner tomorrow night!"

Yan Bo gently cautioned her, opened the car door for her, and his hand hovered protectively over her head to prevent her from bumping into the car roof.

Tong Xiaohua obediently responded with an "Oh!" She slid into the car, settled in, and waved at him, "See you tomorrow night!"

Yan Bo nodded, "See you tomorrow night!"

After making sure she was safely in the car, he waited until the Tong family’s driver pulled the car onto the road before he returned to his own vehicle and drove off toward the boxing gym.

"Third Young Master, long time no see! Where have you been enjoying yourself?"

Having been waiting early on at the boxing gym parking lot, Ling Qingyun eagerly opened the car door for him and, with a smile on his face, teased him, not mentioning the recent phone call he had refused.

Since his arrival in L City, among the youths of the Top Ten Families, Ling Qingyun was the closest to him.

However, Yan Bo was a very cautious person. Even though he socialized with Ling Qingyun, he never revealed anything about his work to him, so Ling was unaware of his trip to S City.

At the end of the day, he simply regarded Ling Qingyun as a fair-weather friend.

"If I were really enjoying myself, Ling, how could I possibly miss having you around?"

The two men walked side by side into the boxing gym, laughing and chatting. Inside, Manager Xiao rushed to greet the esteemed guests as soon as he saw them.

"Third Young Master, Ling, are you here for the match? I’ve reserved the best seats for you two. Please, this way!"

Yan Bo unapologetically accepted the fawning treatment, sitting down with Ling Qingyun in the audience seats that offered the best view.

After ensuring the two Young Masters were suitably settled and determining their preferred beverages, Manager Xiao hesitated for a moment before sitting down next to Yan Bo.

Yan Bo wasn’t bothered by this; he understood that Manager Xiao was still thinking about that 500,000 investment.

"Third Young Master, I heard that when Miss Tong took office, you personally sent flowers to congratulate her?"

This bit of news had already spread throughout L City, but Ling Qingyun hadn’t seen Yan Bo for quite a few days. Now that they’d met, he brought up the subject somewhat jokingly.

Yan Bo didn’t hide it, nodding in response, "Yes, I stopped by for a visit."

Ling Qingyun couldn’t help but ask, half concerned and half curious, "Speaking of which, aren’t you afraid?"

The young people from these aristocratic families, even if many desired Miss Tong’s beauty, were deterred by her background, with none daring to truly provoke her.

Firstly, they really couldn’t afford to provoke the Tong Family.

Secondly, their own families would never allow them to be associated with the daughter of a gangster.

To them, it may sound nice to be born with a golden key, never having to worry about food or clothes, but before the power of their family businesses was in their hands, who wasn’t living cautiously?

Hence, Ling Qingyun assumed Yan Bo, like the other youths of aristocratic families, had to be wary of those family elders wielding the power to determine life and death within the family.

Naturally, Yan Bo knew what Ling meant by being afraid.

However, he pretended not to understand, "Afraid? Afraid of what?"

In fact, in Yan Bo’s dictionary, there truly was no such word as fear.

Life is but a fleeting few decades, if one is timid or afraid, might as well just be a snail and shrink inside a shell for a lifetime, what kind of person would that be?

In his view, if you want something, you should strive for it, even if you fail, it is still a million times better than shrinking back because of fear.

Ling Qingyun thought he just hadn’t seen clearly the risks and benefits involved and came closer to whisper a reminder.

"Now the Tong Family is under Miss Tong’s control, isn’t it? For a noble young master like yourself, to mix up with her, it doesn’t quite look good..."

Yan Bo chuckled lightly, "Is that so? I don’t see anything that looks bad! As a businessman, should others care about what kind of friends I make when they do business with me?"

How much capital Yan Bo had on hand was still a mystery to these aristocratic families in L City, and even to Secretary Ye.

The main reason they were cautious around him was mostly because of his family background, not because of him personally.

Ling Qingyun couldn’t figure out how much weight Yan Bo carried; after all, even after more than a month of association, Yan Bo still gave him an unfathomable impression.

"That wouldn’t happen..." Unable to gauge Yan Bo’s weight, Ling Qingyun naturally dared not speak too plainly, "But in such a situation, if it were me, my dad would definitely break my legs!"

A hint of coldness flashed in Yan Bo’s eyes, but his face remained impassive as he replied nonchalantly.

"Is that so? Then you are quite pitiful!"

As for whether his dad would be so angered as to break his legs because of Tong Xiaohua, Yan Bo did not mention a word.

He had been aware of this the moment he decided to provoke Tong Xiaohua.

If one day in the future his dad did indeed decide to break his legs over Tong Xiaohua, he would be brave enough to face it, because she was the woman he had determined to protect.

How could Ling Qingyun expect that in just over a dozen days, this third young master of the Yan Family had gone from being a single noble to having someone in his heart?

"It’s not exactly pitiful, with our status, we should have this awareness. We naturally have to act with our family’s interests as the top priority, don’t we?"

Yan Bo neither agreed nor disagreed with Ling Qingyun’s view.

He didn’t bother to pierce through Ling Qingyun’s so-called family interests, which were nothing more than a caution because the inheritance rights were not yet secure.

He also didn’t bother explaining that he, Yan Bo, was actually different from these youths from aristocratic families like Ling Qingyun.

Seeing that Yan Bo didn’t respond to him for a long time, Ling Qingyun thought he had hit a sore spot and decided to remain silent.

Yan Bo watched in silence as the two "experts" on stage cautiously tested each other’s strength, suddenly regretting coming out tonight.

Unaware of Yan Bo’s annoyance, Ling Qingyun nudged him with his elbow after a while, "Third Young Master, are you a bit bored? How about I call some friends to hang out tomorrow night?"

Seeing Yan Bo turning his head, he winked meaningfully at him.

How could Yan Bo not understand what his "hanging out" implied?

"No thanks, I have plans with a friend tomorrow night, maybe next time!"

Ling Qingyun felt somewhat disappointed, "What, you’re that busy recently?"

He assumed that Yan Bo was tied up with official business, because as far as personal matters went, he believed he was the closest to Yan Bo. Except for him, few youths from aristocratic families in L City had the ability to stick with this third young master all the time.

Yan Bo was not in the mood to entertain him and replied indifferently.

"That’s right, everything is difficult at the beginning!"
