Huo Yingcheng, Yu Bao'er (22)

"This is Qingjiu's good friend, Bao'er, right?"

Although Hilda's voice was imposing, it also had a reassuring and relaxing effect.

Even in such an awkward situation, her voice made Yu Bao'er relax slightly.

"Mmmm."

Yu Bao'er nodded vigorously as she quickly thought up an excuse to leave.

"I'm going to my room to pack up. Take your time to chat, Aunties."

"Pack up? Why are you packing up?"

Huo Yingcheng's mother looked perplexed.

"Qingjiu is returning to her maiden home next week. Bao'er is likely going back with her."

Hilda explained on Yu Bao'er's behalf. Yu Bao'er nodded in agreement.

"That's right, Auntie."

Yu Bao'er speedily fled after that.

Seeing Yu Bao'er flee so eagerly, Hilda then said, "You're too anxious. Look how you've scared her."
