Chapter 849 - Huo Yingcheng, Yu Bao’er (21)

Yu Bao’er’s face turned red, and she looked at Gu Qingjiu with rebuke. “Qingjiu, what are you talking about? Am I that sort of a person? I’m rather fond of kids. When your child is born, I want to be his godmother!”

“Sure, sure, sure. Of course, you’ll be the kid’s godmother. There’s no doubt about that.”

Gu Qingjiu agreed to Yu Bao’er. After they chatted for some time, Gu Qingjiu started feeling sleepy.

Though it was quite an easy pregnancy for her, she got tired easily.

Yu Bao’er waited for Gu Qingjiu to fall asleep before covering her with a blanket and leaving the room.

In the end, the moment she went out, she saw Huo Yingcheng’s mother standing outside the door. She was discussing something with Gu Qingjiu’s mother-in-law/Instructor He’s mother.

At the sight of Huo Yingcheng’s mother, an awkward expression appeared on Yu Bao’er’s face.

She knew that his mother got the wrong idea about her and her son. But the important thing was, there wasn’t anything between them.

But the unfortunate thing was, Huo Yingcheng had been accompanying her these few days. Yu Bao’er thought that Huo Yingcheng had already explained things clearly to his mother, but she couldn’t help feeling sheepish when she saw her.

It was even though she had no idea why she was feeling sheepish.

The moment Yu Bao’er came out, Hilda turned around and saw Yu Bao’er. She revealed a friendly smile.

Hilda was also a princess consort in title, thus she had a noble status.

Although Yu Bao’er was Gu Qingjiu’s bestie, she subconsciously felt a distance between her and those people, and she felt that there was nothing for them to talk about. Hilda’s impression of her was only that she was Gu Qingjiu’s good friend.

But since she ran into them, she needed to greet them.

Huo Yingcheng’s mother, who was smiling at Hilda, suddenly turned her head at seeing Hilda’s reaction. She then saw Yu Bao’er standing there helplessly.

A delighted expression bloomed on her face right away as she called out, “Bao’er.”

Her fervent attitude was as if Yu Bao’er was her biological daughter.

Yu Bao’er could only brace herself and respond, “Aye, Auntie Huo, Auntie Helian.”

As she was a junior to them, according to China’s tradition, she wasn’t to address them by their English names.

“Quickly, come over.”

Huo Yingcheng’s mother waved at Yu Bao’er gently. Yu Bao’er could only go over. His mother asked gently and directly, “Did you have fun with my son these few days?”

Yu Bao’er: “...”

This was so awkward. No matter how she answered, it would sound wrong. Yu Bao’er could only chuckle awkwardly. “It was quite fun.”

“Good, good. You’ve never been to Penalan, have you? It’s good that you have someone to take you around. How was it? Penalan is quite fun, isn’t it? Why don’t you stay here to have fun for good?”

Yu Bao’er: “...”

Auntie, that’s very direct of you.

She was a virgin, though she understood what she meant, she couldn’t shamelessly answer that!

Hilda, who could tell something was amiss, smiled curiously. “Janet, what’s going on”

Huo Yingcheng’s mother’s name was Janet. In consideration of Yu Bao’er, Hilda spoke in Mandarin.

“Oh-oh, this was what I was telling you about.”

Huo Yingcheng’s mother winked at Hilda. Although she didn’t say it out loud, Hilda’s gaze towards Yu Bao’er now carried a deep meaning. Yu Bao’er knew that she wouldn’t be able to clear her name.

No wonder that night Huo Yingcheng didn’t dare to walk her to her room. But even then, rumors were flying everywhere...
