Finally, the duo decided on a restaurant that was neither upscale nor lousy.
At least, it was sufficient to cause Yu Bao’er’s wallet to bleed.
Thank god she had some savings of her own.
When treating Huo Yingcheng to the meal, Yu Bao’er didn’t feel there was much to it, and she asked him about the apartment.
At the start, she only spoke about it briefly over the phone.
But Yu Bao’er was still concerned about another matter. “Have you found that fellow who framed me for the lighter?”
Huo Yingcheng’s chopsticks trembled. “You still remember that incident?”
Yu Bao’er’s face was filled with rage. “Of course. If not for that, would I have suffered such a great grievance? I can’t tolerate that. I must beat up that person!”
Huo Yingcheng said, “Good girls don’t go around hitting other people. This matter is already over. Moreover, I found out that it wasn’t you by the next day. You weren’t wronged that much.”
“What do you mean by not wronged by much? That tone of yours over the phone sounded as though I had stolen five million yuan from you. If you were right in front of me at the time, you’d probably have stabbed me with a knife.”
Huo Yingcheng: “…”
He replied helplessly, “It’s not to that extent. Just let the matter rest since it has passed. The person has yet to be found. It’s enough that the misunderstanding is resolved. I don’t blame you or anything.”
“You shouldn’t have blamed it on me in the first place.”
Yu Bao’er was puffed up with anger, ferociously stuffing food into her mouth.
As though these things had great enmity with her.
Huo Yingcheng was speechless.
He never expected Yu Bao’er to be so good at bearing grudges.
But then again, the fault lay with them.
At the thought of his mother, Huo Yingcheng felt a splitting headache.
He could only play dumb with Yu Bao’er, as though nothing had happened.
And see if he had the chance to explain things in the future.
But it was truly awkward to explain…
After treating Huo Yingcheng to the meal, Yu Bao’er was originally planning on viewing apartments at night, but Huo Yingcheng stopped her. “Why are you viewing apartments at night? It’s not like the apartment will run away. You can just go in the day. It’s not as if you’re working tomorrow.”
Yu Bao’er felt his words made sense, so she said, “Alright, I won’t go then.”
“Mm, I’ll go with you tomorrow.”
“You’ll come with me?”
Yu Bao’er finally sensed something wasn’t right.
“I was the one who found you that apartment. If I don’t bring you there, will you be able to find it?”
Huo Yingcheng’s explanation sounded logical, but Yu Bao’er had already sensed something.
Huo Yingcheng was helping her to look for an apartment and even offered to take her there. Judging from the perspective of man-and-woman relationships, wasn’t that a bit too ambiguous?
After all, she had dated a few boys before. Although all of those relationships were just for fun, she knew that a relationship between a man and a woman started from such ambiguity…
Tsk!
Impossible. Commander Huo was already nearing his thirties, whereas she was still a 22-year-old virgin!
But then what if Commander Huo was purely helping her without any ulterior motives? Wouldn’t Yu Bao’er be thinking too much and bringing humiliation upon herself?
Moreover, the suddenness of it all was too weird.
Yu Bao’er felt that there weren’t any heart-throbbing moments between her and Huo Yingcheng.
Just as she was pondering over this, Huo Yingcheng reached out and stroked her head. “What are you thinking of? Not leaving after settling the bill? I’ll send you back.”
Feeling weird, Yu Bao’er murmured, “Don’t pat my head. You’ve messed up my hair.”
Huo Yingcheng’s aloof mocking laughter rang in the night skies, piercing into Yu Bao’er’s heart.
She, who had always been bold, said nothing this time. She also didn’t dare to make further speculations anymore and simply treated it as though nothing had happened. She decided to continue staying blur.
