It wasn’t that Yu Bao’er wasn’t thankful to Huo Yingcheng.
But the crux was, Huo Yingcheng’s sulky expression infuritated Yu Bao’er; the way he put it was as if she couldn’t walk around the capital city of Penalan by herself.
They strolled around and only went back at night. Huo Yingcheng appeared grumpy.
Gu Qingjiu was curious. “Did you quarrel with him again?”
“What do you mean by again? I simply don’t understand this person.”
Yu Bao’er appeared perplexed, with a frown and her nose turned up. “He had plenty of opinions even though he had agreed to accompany me out. I don’t know what he is thinking. But still, I’m very thankful to him for keeping me company during this period.”
“Think carefully. Other than him, who else do you know here?”
Gu Qingjiu scraped Yu Bao’er’s nose. “I’ll be returning to my maiden home next week. Are you going back with me?”
“Mmmm.”
Yu Bao’er nodded. She started smiling and rubbing against Gu Qingjiu’s arm. “Qingjiu, you’re already a married person now. I’m so envious!”
“If you’re envious, find someone to get married to.”
Gu Qingjiu teased her with a smile. “It’s not like you’ve never dated. Why isn’t there someone you want to marry?”
“How is that possible.”
Yu Bao’er frowned when she recalled those boyfriends she had dated. “It’s not like you don’t know how I was in the past. I only dated those boys for fun. And if they’re handsome I would fall for them. If not I wouldn’t have dated your cousin. We hadn’t done anything. We were just bored and looking for a companion. In my last two years of university, I didn’t date anyone. Because I got tired of it.”
“I want to play for a bit longer and don’t wish to find a boyfriend yet. I merely feel envious seeing you get married to Instructor He. Every woman would be envious of such a marriage.”
Yu Bao’er wore a look of anticipation as she gazed at Gu Qingjiu.
Memories of that wedding replayed in her mind. “Tsk tsk, it was truly grand. Instructor He is wealthy and has a high status. In the past I never imagined him to be Penalan’s prince. Qingjiu, when did you find out about that?”
Although they were besties, Yu Bao’er had never asked Gu Qingjiu about this before.
“I didn’t know at the start either. Later on, I only found out by accident. I was kind of mad when I found out he had been hiding this from me. But afterward, when I gave it some more thought my anger subsided.”
“With Instructor He’s identity being so special, it’s normal for him to not tell you about it, right?” Yu Bao’er didn’t feel that it was something to mind about. “When I return home next month, I’m taking a trip back to Dayi City then do some traveling. After which it’s time for me to properly find a job.”
Speaking of finding a job, Yu Bao’er felt a sense of dismay. “It’s tiring and hard to go to work every day. But it’s not possible for me to completely not work either.”
“What kind of job are you looking for? Instructor He has some companies in China. If you’re interested I can arrange for you to go in and do an internship. Of course, whether you convert to a permanent employee will depend on your own capabilities.”
Gu Qingjiu wanted to help Yu Bao’er. Yu Bao’er however, shook her head. “No, no, no, I’m not entering a company. I might become a kindergarten teacher.”
“Kindergarten teacher?”
Gu Qingjiu laughed out loud. “Looking at you, I don’t dare to imagine what it would be like if you become one. I’m afraid you will want to beat up the kids once they start making a din.”
