Chapter 831: Huo Yingcheng, Yu Bao’er (3)
The duo squabbled as they walked. Then Huo Yingcheng brought Yu Bao’er back to Gu Qingjiu.
Seeing this familiar place, Yu Bao’er forgot all about Huo Yingcheng and ran away immediately.
When she reached Gu Qingjiu’s side, she saw that the stylist was still designing a look for her on her wedding day, so Yu Bao’er curiously gazed around.
The palace was extremely big; this was Yu Bao’er’s greatest impression of this place.
As a result, she just sat at the entrance and didn’t dare roam around by herself, fearing she would get lost.
Not far away, she saw Helian Niancheng walking over with a bunch of royal staff.
They gave off a strong aura, with Helian Niancheng enveloped within. There was a high-and-mighty aura about the entire group.
At the sight of Helian Niancheng, Yu Bao’er didn’t even dare to greet him ‘Chief Instructor.’
Helian Niancheng simply cast a glance at Yu Bao’er as he came over, and then entered Gu Qingjiu’s room.
At that moment, a female servant walked over and politely said something in English to Yu Bao’er.
Yu Bao’er was speechless.
This was going to be awkward. Because she didn’t understand what she was saying.
Yu Bao’er regretted not working harder in the past. If she had learned her English properly, she would not be caught in such an awkward situation.
She could only blame herself for previously thinking that she wouldn’t have a use for English, hence she never paid attention in English classes. Much less had she ever passed her English exams.
She was about to embarrassedly spurt out ‘I don’t know English.’ It was the only sentence she was capable of saying when a male voice rang over: “She’s asking you if you want to sit in the back garden. She says there are a lot of Chinese there, so you can go over and chat with them.”
The tall and well-built Huo Yingcheng walked over from behind the corridor. Yu Bao’er instantly heaved a sigh of relief.
That female servant respectfully bowed at Huo Yingcheng and said something.
Seems like Huo Yingcheng was someone of certain status.
She got up. Looking embarrassed, she asked Huo Yingcheng to help her translate: “You can tell her okay. She can take me there.”
Looking at this situation, she might as well go over and chat with Gu Qingjiu’s relatives…
“No need, I’ll take you there.”
Huo Yingcheng raised his chin at the female servant, who then nodded before leaving.
Honestly speaking, watching them speak English so fluently, Yu Bao’er suddenly had an urge to learn the language. At least then she would have no pressure conversing in English and wouldn’t land in such an awkward situation.
Yu Bao’er instantly went to Huo Yingcheng. “Are Qingjiu’s parents there? I don’t know a single person here. I feel quite embarrassed.”
Though she had never seen Gu Qingjiu’s older brother, she wasn’t exactly familiar with him.
And the awkward thing was, Yao Yanshen was also there.
She had briefly dated Yao Yanshen, who was Gu Qingjiu’s older cousin, before. Although they weren’t in a serious relationship and didn’t put many genuine feelings into it, it still felt awkward running into an ex.
Huo Yingcheng glanced at her. “Are you afraid of running into your ex?”
Yu Bao’er was shocked. “How did you know about this?”
By right, only Gu Qingjiu knew about this.
“What’s so confidential about it? Since Qingjiu is marrying into the royal family, a thorough check has to be done on those around her. Or else, do you think it’s so easy to enter the royal family?”
Although his tone was proud, what he said was the truth.
