Huo Yingcheng sent Yu Bao’er back to the hotel.
Yu Bao’er was staying at a hotel for the time being.
She was supposed to view the apartment that evening, but only tonight did she sense that there was something not quite right with Huo Yingcheng. Tossing and turning on the bed, she had difficulty falling asleep.
But then she came up with a reason for her sleeplessness, it was because it was an unfamiliar bed.
Hm, that must be it.
When she woke up the next morning, a panda-like Yu Bao’er was fetched by Huo Yingcheng.
Seeing the dark circles under Yu Bao’er’s eyes, Huo Yingcheng was perplexed. “Why, were you too excited over finding a job last night that you couldn’t fall asleep?”
Of course, Yu Bao’er couldn’t possibly tell him the real reason, so she nodded. “Mm, so excited that I couldn’t sleep.”
“Seriously. What’s there to be excited about? What if you get fired after three days and don’t even receive your salary?”
Yu Bao’er: “…”
Damn you!
Seeing that Yu Bao’er was about to hurl abuse at him, Huo Yingcheng laughed merrily. “I was just kidding. Work hard and strive to convert to a permanent position.”
After saying that, he stroked Yu Bao’er’s head again, as though out of habit. “Let’s get into the car.”
Yu Bao’er wanted to dodge, but she didn’t manage to do so.
When Huo Yingcheng was stroking her head, she kept having the illusion like she was a little kid.
Never mind that. But at the thought of her current state with Huo Yingcheng, Yu Bao’er felt something prick at her heart.
She got into the car with Huo Yingcheng feeling vexed, and on the way to the apartment, Yu Bao’er was not in as great a mood as yesterday.
Even he could tell that.
“What’s the matter? Only a night has passed. Why is your expression so bitter? Don’t tell me you don’t have enough money for the rent?”
Huo Yingcheng was a straightforward person, so he just blurted out whatever was on his mind.
Yu Bao’er shook her head. “Of course not.”
“Then what is it?”
Huo Yingcheng continued asking.
“…”
Yu Bao’er didn’t know what to tell him. “No…”
“Just tell me if you need money. There’s nothing to feel awkward about. On account of Qingjiu, I will help you too.”
Yu Bao’er: “…”
Just how poor exactly was she in Huo Yingcheng’s heart?
Only until they reached the apartment did Yu Bao’er see that it was indeed a good place.
Although the residential area was a tad old, there were lovely flowers all around and great scenery.
Despite being in a bustling central region, it had tranquil air to it. Those who lived there were mostly old grandpas and grandmas.
Most importantly, it was near to the kindergarten where she worked.
Yu Bao’er was very pleased with the environment. The building in which the apartment was located was right nearby.
The apartment was very clean and well-furnished, so she could directly move in. It was just that she needed to buy the household appliances.
After she viewed the apartment, Yu Bao’er happily paid the rent on the spot.
She paid three months’ rent.
Most importantly, she wasn’t made to pay a deposit.
This made Yu Bao’er finally sense that something was amiss. There weren’t any signs that explained the very cheap price here…
Were rental prices that cheap in the capital?
After the apartment was settled, Huo Yingcheng helped her move her luggage over, and she finally couldn’t resist asking, “Is this apartment so cheap because you did something?”
“What could I possibly have done?”
Huo Yingcheng cast a meaningful look at her. “This apartment belongs to a close acquaintance of mine. He’s renting it out cheap on my account. Or else you think you’d be able to rent a place like this?”
This reason he gave instantly made Yu Bao’er understand something.
