Chapter 844 - Huo Yingcheng, Yu Bao’er (16)

After Huo Yingcheng’s mother left, Huo Yingcheng told Yu Bao’er about a piece of bad news.

“My mom saw us when I took you back to my room while you were still drunk.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Yu Bao’er nearly shrieked out loud. “How did that happen? Did you explain things to her?”

“Didn’t you see that I had no chance to explain at all? This old hag only believes what she sees with her own eyes and doesn’t believe others’ explanation.”

Yu Bao’er knew that it was a serious matter for an elder to misunderstand them this way. She was dazed. “But nothing happened between the two of us then...”

“But still, it was a fact that I had taken you to my room...”

Huo Yingcheng had originally planned on immediately going over to explain things, but seeing Yu Bao’er’s scared expression, he decided to tease her a little.

Yu Bao’er was furious. “My reputation was destroyed just like that?”

“Pui, what about my reputation?”

Huo Yingcheng rolled his eyes. “I’m, after all, an aristocrat. It’d be ridiculous if rumors of me being together with a little girl get out. Don’t worry, I’ll explain things clearly to my mom. I shan’t trouble you to do that.”

“That’d be the best!”

That was what Yu Bao’er felt. But when Huo Yingcheng heard her rebutting so readily, he felt uncomfortable.

But he merely scoffed.

Yu Bao’er felt a tad awkward looking at Huo Yingcheng now. The two of them could only awkwardly stare at each other without saying a word.

It was Huo Yingcheng who spoke first. He retrieved a cigarette from his pocket and bit it. “Since you have nothing better to do now, you can go over first. Take the chance to go outside and have fun tomorrow. From the looks of it, a country bumpkin like you likely hadn’t seen much of the world.”

The smile on Yu Bao’er’s face, which appeared at the mention of the words ‘have fun,’ froze instantly.

“What do you mean by country bumpkin? You think you’re all that just because you’re a member of the royalty? You despise ordinary civilians like us, huh.”

Huo Yingcheng inhaled on his cigarette and exhaled smoke to the side. Amid all that smoke, Yu Bao’er felt that this man’s side profile looked rather handsome.

And then she heard him say this, “Indeed, I despise you.”

Yu Bao’er: “...”

Trash!

The antagonized Yu Bao’er couldn’t find her way back to her room, so she could only return to the banquet.

After playing by herself for a while, Yu Bao’er started looking for fruit juice to drink.

There was plenty of wine and other beverages placed on an exquisitely laid-out long table. Yu Bao’er looked carefully, afraid that last night’s incident would happen again. She was afraid that she would get drunk and do something embarrassing.

She had just taken two sips from a blue-colored beverage when she heard an elegant male voice beside her. “Hello?”

Yu Bao’er looked over and saw that it was a Western man dressed elegantly in a suit. With deep-set eyes, he looked very handsome and made one’s heart flutter.

Even Yu Bao’er was mesmerized by his appearance for a moment. But thankfully, because of the training she had undergone under Helian Niancheng’s supervision, she didn’t lose her composure entirely. She smiled at the other party embarrassedly.

Since she couldn’t speak English, if he started speaking in English to her, it would be game over.

“This beautiful Eastern lady, my name is Lloyd. I wonder if I have the honor of getting to know you?”

The man before her was truly captivating. Especially the way he talked, it sounded so sexy.

It was just that when he opened his mouth, Yu Bao’er couldn’t understand a word of what he was saying, making her feel despair.
