Chapter 853 - Huo Yingcheng, Yu Bao’er (25)

Miao Jiahe, with her sharp eyes, saw the most direct change in her daughter the instant she walked out.

“Whose waist had gotten thicker? Whose?”

Girls most disliked hearing others say she had gotten fatter, especially when it came from family.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Yu Chengzhuang also shielded Yu Bao’er. “Exactly. How is she fatter? My daughter is forever slim.”

Miao Jiahe gazed at the father-and-daughter duo with a sympathetic gaze, then went forward and stared at Yu Bao’er’s luggage. “Daughter, what good stuff have you brought back for Mom?”

“You remember I’m your daughter now, huh.” Yu Bao’er kept her luggage aside and said gleefully to Miao Jiahe, “Come again, did I grow fat or not? If you say I haven’t, I’ll tell you what I have bought you!”

Miao Jiahe’s brows creased. “Hur, you’re getting bold now huh, lass. How dare you threaten your mother? Do you believe I’ll spank your butt today?”

Yu Bao’er: “...”

F*ck!

Was this the privilege of adults?

To be threatening kids with violence at a whim?

Yu Chengzhuang, who had wanted to defend Yu Bao’er, instantly shut up at the fierce glare from his wife.

Yu Bao’er scoffed, then opened her luggage and took out their presents.

She simply bought stuff based on their aesthetics and didn’t pay attention to whether they were functional or not. As there weren’t many presents, it took no time before the few of them finished splitting up the presents.

Miao Jiahe expressed her opinion. “Terrific. You went overseas and all you bought were these useless souvenirs!”

“At least I bought something!”

Yu Bao’er was indignant and she reached out to snatch the presents. “Give it back if you don’t want it.”

Miao Jiahe blocked using her hands. “Now that it’s in my hands, it’s mine. Don’t even think about it!”

She then started walking back to her bedroom with the present.

Yu Bao’er smiled. Yu Chengzhuang’s eyes suddenly lit up as he retrieved something from Yu Bao’er’s luggage. His countenance changed drastically. “You’re good, huh, Yu Bao’er. To think you learned to smoke!”

It was rare for him to speak so sternly to Yu Bao’er. Miao Jiahe, who had just returned to her room, came out instantly. “What’s going on?”

Yu Bao’er focused her gaze, and the color of blood drained from her face. “Aiyah, how did his lighter land in my suitcase?”

The lighter in her luggage was Huo Yingcheng’s!

A few days prior, Yu Bao’er had seen Huo Yingcheng using it. It was a flamboyant red lighter, and she heard that it was rather expensive. Yu Bao’er had seen him using it a few times so how could she not have a deep impression of it?

She stood up helplessly. “That’s not right. How could his lighter possibly be here? It shouldn’t be!”

She had never touched this lighter!

“Wah, from the sounds of it, this isn’t yours, but someone else’s? Is it that guy in the photo you sent us? His lighter even appeared in your luggage. Yet you still dare say there’s nothing between the two of you?!”

The eager-to-stir-up-trouble Yu Kairan nabbed this chance and started teasing Yu Bao’er.

Yu Chengzhuang wore a solemn expression. When Miao Jiahe walked over, she took the lighter from him. “Eh, this just looks like an ordinary lighter.”

Yu Kairan took it from her and looked at it. “Damn, how is this ordinary? It’s a Tepoga 2017 limited edition model. Tepoga is the world’s largest manufacturer of lighters. Such a limited edition lighter costs at least several hundred thousand!”

Amid Yu Bao’er’s startled and pale expression, Yu Kairan added, “US dollars!”

Miao Jiahe: “This guy sure has money to burn!”
