Yu Bao’er’s expression and response made some things clear.
Gu Qingjiu found it unbelievable. She stared at Yu Bao’er with her brows furrowed and asked, “How is it possible? When did it happen?”
As she spoke, she recalled that Huo Yingcheng had asked this favor recently. She widened her eyes. “Don’t tell me it happened recently?”
Yu Bao’er said, “The saying that a pregnant woman stays dumb for three years is unscientific.”
Gu Qingjiu pursed her lips and smiled. “What pregnant woman stays dumb for three years? I just find it surprising. It happened recently?”
Yu Bao’er felt a tad awkward to be discussing this at the dining table. Especially with the expressionless and aloof Helian Niancheng sitting there. Yu Bao’er lowered her head and shoved two spoonfuls of rice into her mouth, sounding rather sheepish. “Yeah recently. I don’t know how but we just… got together.”
“The two of you…”
Gu Qingjiu found it interesting. “Brother Huo’s a pretty nice guy. But it never occurred to me that the two of you would get together. It’s a good thing though.”
“Mm, mm. Yeah.”
Yu Bao’er felt that it was not bad to reveal it like that too.
Now that it was out in the open, Yu Bao’er wasn’t shy about it anymore. It was just that with a man like Helian Niancheng around, such topics of conversation between women probably shouldn’t be discussed in his presence.
Gu Qingjiu likely understood that too. After the meal, she dragged Yu Bao’er outside to chat privately.
“Bao’er, are you serious about Brother Huo?”
Gu Qingjiu knew that Yu Bao’er was playful and young. On the other hand, Huo Yingcheng wasn’t getting any younger.
Yu Bao’er was in no hurry. Huo Yingcheng… also was in no hurry.
After all, with his capabilities and talent, there were plenty of women eager to marry him.
The crux was whether these two were serious or not.
“Yeah, I’m serious.”
Yu Bao’er felt more certain now when she thought of Huo Yingcheng. “I am rather fond of him.”
Gu Qingjiu laughed. “How is simply fondness enough? I won’t go and look for Brother Huo. Just know what you’re doing.”
Gu Qingjiu wasn’t planning on meddling in her bestie’s matters too much.
She knew what sort of a person Brother Huo was. Now that he had gotten together with Yu Bao’er, this was between the two of them. Gu Qingjiu would just watch the development from the side.
Gu Qingjiu was quite happy to see them together too. Her eyes narrowed into crescents as she smiled. “Brother Huo is quite a dependable guy. But you know that he’s not like Chief Instructor, right? Do you mind his past?”
“I don’t. It’s normal.”
Yu Bao’er was at ease. “In the future he has me, and that’s enough.”
Hearing this, Gu Qingjiu nodded. “So you’re planning on dating him first?”
“Mm. If not what?”
Yu Bao’er sighed. “It’s pretty good to be in a serious relationship too. It’s a necessary life experience.”
“You sound so experienced.”
Gu Qingjiu burst out laughing. “I’m reminded of something. I heard Brother Huo previously went to look for you because you took his lighter or something. Did you plot that?”
Yu Bao’er’s expression turned stiff and she started ranting, “I don’t know who wickedly stole his lighter and stuffed it in my luggage. Those who didn’t know better would have thought I was the one who did it. It resulted in such a big misunderstanding. I was so aggrieved at being wrongfully accused like that!”
With gritted teeth, Yu Bao’er cursed that person who took the lighter and framed her. Far away in Penalan, Huo Yingcheng’s mother sneezed at that same moment.
