Wife is Fierce, Don't Mess With Her! - Chapter 859
Chapter 859: Huo Yingcheng, Yu Bao’er (31)
“He can leave after getting back his stuff. Why are you treating him to a meal?”
Yu Chengzhuang was extremely displeased.
Yu Bao’er shrugged. “I was the one who said I’d treat him to a meal. Now, I’m only fulfilling my promise. Dad, don’t let your thoughts run wild. It’s impossible between him and me. He’s not my type. Moreover, he’s nearly thirty.”
“Nearly thirty?”
The color of blood drained from Yu Chengzhuang’s face. “So old. This won’t do!”
He waved a hand. “I’ll never agree to it.”
Yu Bao’er softly scoffed. “Dad, don’t spout nonsense. He and I aren’t dating.”
With that, she left the room.
In the living room, Miao Jiahe was speaking with Huo Yingcheng. When Yu Bao’er came out, everyone’s gazes turned towards her.
Yu Bao’er felt weird…
Especially the way her older brother Yu Kairan was looking at her. There was just one word to describe it: Sneaky!
Feeling embarrassed, she lowered her head and quietly returned to her seat.
“Huo Yingcheng, right? Here, have a seat.”
Miao Jiahe tended to Huo Yingcheng on behalf of Yu Bao’er, then cast a meaningful look at Yu Bao’er.
The atmosphere was incredibly awkward.
At least, that was Yu Bao’er’s perception.
Miao Jiahe started chatting with Huo Yingcheng.
Yu Bao’er didn’t know what she could chat with Huo Yingcheng with. She started to regret her rash actions.
She could have asked Huo Yingcheng to head to a hotel by himself, then meet him up for lunch at noon, after which he could leave. That would be a much better arrangement.
She wanted to kick herself by asking him to come to their home.
Thankfully, Miao Jiahe knew what not to ask, and only asked about his situation as an elder.
Huo Yingcheng was also regretting accepting the invitation so readily. He shouldn’t have come up with Yu Bao’er.
He was too rash then.
Why did he come up with her?
Though there was indeed nothing between him and Yu Bao’er and chatting with her family, saying it was awkward would be an understatement.
Thankfully, Yu Bao’er’s brother Yu Kairan was someone who knew how to ease the atmosphere. He very quickly changed the topic to something that aroused Huo Yingcheng’s interest more.
The two of them started talking enthusiastically about the lighter’s origins and manufacturer.
In the end, even Miao Jiahe gave up.
And simply allowed the two to chat.
After eating, Yu Bao’er helped to clear the utensils and went to the kitchen to wash the plates.
She would usually do these things that she could manage when at home.
Huo Yingcheng stared at her in slight astonishment. He had thought that she was the sort of girl who didn’t help out with anything at home.
He didn’t expect to see her take the initiative to help wash the bowls.
Yu Kairan noticed where Huo Yingcheng was looking, so he went to her and said with a chuckle, “Brother, my younger sister is virtuous isn’t she… Aiyah!”
Before he finished his sentence, Yu Chengzhuang had already smacked him on his head. “What business is it of yours whether my daughter is virtuous or not?”
Though he looked like he was saying it to Yu Kairan, it was obvious who he was targeting his words at.
Yu Kairan held a hand to his head, feeling innocent.
Miao Jiahe, too, glared at him. Serves him right for shooting his mouth off.
Huo Yingcheng looked at Yu Kairan. Somehow, he recalled his mother who smacked him for no good reason back at home, and all of a sudden, felt pity for him as a fellow sufferer…
Yu Bao’er came out after washing the bowls, then wiped her hands and raised her chin at Huo Yingcheng. “Let’s go, Commander Huo.”
