As expected, the moment Yu Baoer reached home

She had just opened the door, when she heard her fathers amiable voice, How did it go? Did that rascal say anything after you returned his lighter?

He had just finished speaking when he saw the tall and well-built man behind Yu Baoer.

Their gazes met and everyones smiles froze on their faces.

Immediately, Yu Chengzhuang dazedly pointed a finger at Huo Yingcheng and asked, Who is this?

Yu Baoer reminded him in a small voice, Dad, this is the rascal you were referring to

At this time, Huo Yingcheng could still maintain a presentable smile. He greeted Yu Chengzhuang with a smile, Uncle, how do you do?

Yu Chengzhuang:

Whos your uncle? Shameless!

Perhaps every father would have a special intuition towards the pig who was looking to eat the white cabbage he painstakingly grew. Yu Chengzhuangs first impression of this Huo Yingcheng was that he was an eyesore.

Yu Chengzhuang was also aware that his daughter had had boyfriends before, but she never brought one home before!

Now she brought this home. What did that imply?

Spit!

He couldnt bring himself to think about this scary truth.

In the living room, Miao Jiahe and Yu Kairan were both staring at Huo Yingcheng in shock.

Yu Kairans eyes suddenly lit up, and he briskly jogged over. Hey Brother, first time meeting you. Please give me your guidance. Im Yu Baoers older brother, Yu Kairan.

Yu Baoer couldnt bear to look straight at Yu Kairan, who was behaving like a lackey.

Was there something wrong with this person?

Huo Yingcheng looked towards Yu Kairan in surprise and let out an awkward chuckle, before extending a hand to him.

Miao Jiahe got to her feet, and Huo Yingcheng seemed to sense that. Hello, Auntie.

Hello, hello.

Miao Jiahe didnt stare fiercely and coldly at Huo Yingcheng like how Yu Chengzhuang did. Huo Yingcheng felt awkward by her stare.

Yu Baoer had already given up.

A few steps into the house, Yu Chengzhuang pulled her aside.

Aiyah, Dad?

On the other hand, Miao Jiahe went up to size up Huo Yingcheng. Youre the owner of that lighter my daughter accidentally took, arent you? Did she explain things clearly to you? Young fellow, if you dont believe her, we can all explain to you. Our daughter is not the sort of person to take other peoples things at whim

Um, shes already explained it to me. Its just a misunderstanding.

This was Huo Yingchengs first time being surrounded and attacked like this. He helplessly answered her question.

Good that its all cleared up. We were angry out of worry for this lass.

There was a dagger hidden in Miao Jiahes smile. Yu Kairan raised a brow beside, thinking to himself that his mother sure had good techniques when it came to talking.

She was implying to Huo Yingcheng that it was him who misunderstood and that her daughter was aggrieved because of that.

Huo Yingcheng merely gave her a faint smile and said nothing.

Miao Jiahe creased her brows. What was the meaning of this? Was he truly unrelated to her daughter?

Meanwhile, with Miao Jiahe intercepting Huo Yingcheng, Yu Chengzhuang pulled his daughter into the room to interrogate her.

After closing the door, he pointed outside and started asking in a grave tone, Baoer, tell Daddy. Whats the relationship between you and that fierce man out there?

Yu Baoer said innocently, Nothing. He just came to retrieve his stuff! I said Ill treat him to lunch at noon, but I didnt know where to make him wait, so I asked him to come to our house.
