Chapter 837: Huo Yingcheng, Yu Bao’er (9)
“Little swallow, put on your flower clothes~ Come here every spring~~”
Yu Bao’er started singing again. Huo Yingcheng couldn’t take it anymore and put a hand to her mouth to shut her up.
His big palm nearly covered Yu Bao’er’s entire face.
Yu Bao’er let out a few m.u.f.fled sounds and put up a struggle, but Huo Yingcheng refused to let go.
If this woman continued singing, he feared he couldn’t hold himself back from beating her up.
But all of a sudden, Yu Bao’er stopped struggling. And then, Huo Yingcheng felt a moist sensation coming from his palm.
Momentarily, a s.h.i.+ver shot up his spine, startling Huo Yingcheng who instantly s.h.i.+fted his hand away…
Yu Bao’er, who could breathe again, felt happy once more and even let out a burp.
Unable to tolerate that alcoholic odor anymore, Huo Yingcheng got to his feet and paced up and down irritably.
Just then, his phone started ringing in his pants. It was a call from Helian Niancheng. “Where are you?”
“In my room, Major-general. I’ll come over later.”
Huo Yingcheng glanced at Yu Bao’er, wondering if he should tell him about her.
“Come here fast. You’re the best man. There are a few guests that I need you to entertain.”
“Ok.”
Huo Yingcheng responded, then hung up. He went to sit on the edge of the bed and said in a pleading tone, “My dear ancestor, please hurry up and go to bed. I have to go off to be an escort soon!”
Yu Bao’er let out a ‘pff’ sound, as though she was spitting bubbles. It went on continuously for a few minutes before she finally slowly drifted off to sleep.
Huo Yingcheng looked at his watch and hurriedly opened the door to go over.
When he went out, he carefully gazed around, and only upon seeing that there weren’t anyone around, did he walk out with peace of mind.
He had just taken a few steps when he b.u.mped into his mother around the corner.
Seeing her son behaving sneakily when he came out, his mother pondered for a moment, before going to Huo Yingcheng’s room.
She cautiously opened the door.
Huo Yingcheng’s bed was inside his room, so his mother didn’t notice anything upon opening the door to his quarter at first. Hence she walked into the room.
She then saw that on Huo Yingcheng’s bed, there was a girl who was firmly covered up and sleeping soundly in the center of the bed…
Huo Yingcheng’s mother widened her eyes in disbelief, before retreating from the room in a fl.u.s.tered, yet overjoyed manner.
At that moment, Huo Yingcheng still had no idea what he was going to have to go through later. He chatted with guests in the front hall for a while, fulfilling his responsibilities as a best man until midnight.
He was preparing to go back to his own home, but at the thought of the person in his room, he hesitated for a moment before telling Helian Niancheng about this matter.
Helian Niancheng glanced at him. “You left her to sleep in your room alone?”
“What else could I have done? I had no idea where her room was. Moreover… don’t look at me like that. I don’t have any designs on her okay!”
Huo Yingcheng felt wrongly accused.
It wasn’t like such matters hadn’t happened in the past.
Helian Niancheng arched his lips. “I’ll get someone to take care of her. Go ahead and go home.”
Huo Yingcheng’s heart was put to ease. “Be more discreet when you send someone to take care of her. Or else, if others find out about it, I won’t be able to clear my name.”
With that, he prepared to go back by himself.
Just as he was about to walk out the door, he saw his mother standing there and waiting for him.
Huo Yingcheng went up to her with a shocked expression. “Mom, why are you still here? It’s so late already, why haven’t you gone back? Were you waiting for me?”
