Chapter 996: Chapter 993 Also a Hooligan

Last night before going to sleep, Yan Bo had shared the news of his mother falling ill with Tong Xiaohua.

"So, are you going back to see your mother?"

Even though his parents didn’t like her, Tong Xiaohua bore no clear animosity toward Yan Bo’s parents.

In her view, their opposition was simply out of parental love, albeit expressed in the wrong way.

Moreover, without them, there wouldn’t exist the Yan Bo of today, who had become her dear boyfriend.

"Yeah, I plan to deal with some urgent work tomorrow and fly back in the evening to be with her."

The next day at noon, Tong Xiaohua personally brought over some soup and a few local specialties.

"These specialties all come from Uncle Zhang’s Farmhouse. I think they taste quite good; see if you want to take them back."

Tong Xiaohua was still showing him the items she brought when Yan Bo pulled her toward him and took the items from her hand, tossing them aside on the table.

"Xiao Hua, do you miss me?"

Yan Bo wrapped his arms around her slender waist, pulling with a bit of force, Tong Xiaohua was securely seated on his lap.

Lovers in the throes of passion, who haven’t seen each other in days, would naturally miss each other!

Tong Xiaohua didn’t answer him, instead, she turned her head toward him, cupped the back of his head, and pulled him down for a "smack" right on his lips.

After the kiss, she intended to withdraw.

But was a young man, who had been abstinent for several days, satisfied with just a light, unremarkable kiss?

With his arms raised high, he spun her around 180 degrees to face him, bent down, and captured her soft lips with his own.

After a few months of dating, Tong Xiaohua had grown from being bashful and clumsy to increasingly enjoying these kisses.

She boldly placed her hands on his shoulders, her body soft and pliant against his, letting the man leave behind his scent on her lips and tongue.

"Ahem..."

A series of light coughs broke the continuous, affectionate kiss of the pair.

Finding themselves caught in such an intimate scene, Tong Xiaohua’s instinct was to push Yan Bo away and stand up.

Yan Bo released her lips and secured her waist with one hand while he took his coat hanging nearby with the other and deftly covered Tong Xiaohua completely with it, including her head.

Tong Xiaohua wished she could just dive into a hole in the ground, but all she could do was hide under the coat like a quail, her face burning hot enough to fry pancakes.

"Boss, what are you covering for? Is there some R-rated scene going on?"

Di Xu spoke more and more disrespectfully.

"What is it?" Yan Bo, however, remained unusually calm, his hand under the coat gently caressing Tong Xiaohua’s back to soothe her.

"The big boss’s secretary just called, asking us to report for work this afternoon at three. Are you available, boss?"

Di Xu’s last remark was pure mockery.

After all, although Yan Bo was young, he was never a person to act without regard for propriety, and it was very rare for private matters to affect his work.

"I got it, there is some data that needs supplementing, I will send it to your email later, put it together again, we’ll head out at two."

Di Xu nodded with a smile, "Got it... Boss!"

His gaze swept over to the coat covering Yan Bo, intentionally or unintentionally.

Yan Bo glared at him, pretending to scold him with a threatening tone.

"Get back to preparation, take lunch at your leisure, Xiao Hua and I are going out to eat."

"Che! I shall take my leave!" Di Xu said with a laugh as he exited.

Tong Xiaohua listened to the sound of the door shutting and poked her head out from beneath the coat.

"Why do you have to cover me up like we did something shameful?"

Tong Xiaohua huffed, propping herself up against his chest to sit straight.

"I did it because you buried your head in my chest, afraid you’d be embarrassed, so I covered you up. I’m really a thankless beast."

Tong Xiaohua, her face flushed, glared at him and stubbornly said, "It’s just a kiss. If someone sees, so be it. But by covering up like this, you made it even more suspicious."

Yan Bo pinched her cheek, confidently saying, "What’s there to misunderstand? We’re a couple, so whatever we do, who does it bother?"

Tong Xiaohua really didn’t know Yan Bo could be so thick-skinned. All along, she had thought he was a modest young master, little knowing that beneath that gentle exterior was, in fact, a rogue.

The two of them were affectionate in the office until lunchtime, then walked to the Mingxuan Hotel nearby Yanhuang for a meal.

The Mingxuan Chinese Restaurant was as busy as ever, with people flowing in like a tide. Standing at the reception, they were informed there weren’t any free tables at the moment and were asked if they wanted to wait.

Yan Bo glanced at Tong Xiaohua, leaving the decision to her.

Tong Xiaohua was about to suggest going to another place when she heard someone behind them calling out, "Third Young Master Yan, Miss Tong, are you here for lunch?"

Tong Xiaohua and Yan Bo turned around to see Zhu Zhizhou, the man they had once shared drinks with.

"Young Master Zhu, do you work here?"

"No, I just happened to accompany my father on an inspection."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, finding out that Tong Xiaohua and Yan Bo had come specially and yet had no seats, Zhu Zhizhou called the manager and led the pair to a lovers’ private room.

"This is Third Young Master Yan, the boss of Yanhuang. Remember to take good care of him whenever he comes over!"

Zhu Zhizhou hung around in the private room for a while before tactfully leaving.

Tong Xiaohua and Yan Bo enjoyed a delicious lunch and also packed up some snacks to take back to the Capital City for their mother.

As they said goodbye at the entrance of Mingxuan, Tong Xiaohua told Yan Bo, "Send me a message when you get home. I’ll wait for your call tonight."

Yan Bo agreed, and after moving them behind a pillar, he kissed her several times, reluctant to let her go.

Later that evening, after eight, Tong Xiaohua received a message from Yan Bo saying he had arrived home and would call her later.

But Tong Xiaohua waited until after midnight, and the phone never rang.

Not daring to rashly call Yan Bo, for fear he was with his mother or worried that his mother’s illness had worsened and something had happened, she became anxious.

"Haven’t you had a chance to rest? Is your mother feeling any better?"

After hesitating for quite a while, she finally curled up under the quilt and sent a message.

After sending it, she held her phone, leaning against the bed, staring blankly and waiting for Yan Bo’s reply.

One minute, five minutes, ten minutes, as nearly half an hour passed, the phone remained silent.

Tong Xiaohua’s heartbeat inexplicably quickened, a sense of foreboding welled up within her.

Not able to care about anything else, she picked up the phone and directly dialed Yan Bo’s number.

Through the phone, however, came the computerized voice "The number you have dialed is switched off."

Tong Xiaohua sprang up from the bed, pacing back and forth in front of it with frantic uncertainty.

After a while, having calmed down slightly, she dialed the number again, only to be met with the same message that the phone was switched off.

Tong Xiaohua was almost out of her mind with worry, but she didn’t know where to get any information about Yan Bo.

And at this time, approaching one in the morning, probably everyone was sound asleep. Even if she tried to find him, it was unlikely she’d find any clues.
