Wife is Fierce, Don't Mess With Her! Chapter 856 - Huo Yingcheng, Yu Bao'er (28)

Chapter 856: Huo Yingcheng, Yu Bao’er (28)

She came home in high spirits and hadn’t expected such an accident to happen.

The mere thought of it made Yu Bao’er’s heart feel stuffed up.

She sent Huo Yingcheng several text messages to explain things, but he didn’t reply to her.

Yu Bao’er hid her head under her blanket, feeling especially vexed.

Now that she had calmed down, she could understand why Huo Yingcheng was angry at the time. But understanding didn’t mean that she could tolerate suffering this grievance.

She carefully recalled when she was packing her luggage, she was the only one packing.

Usually, no one would enter her room. Surely someone didn’t secretly place that lighter into her luggage?

That can’t be right. She didn’t offend anyone…

Even if she had her suspicions, she didn’t have any suspect in mind. It gave her anxiety.

It was impossible for a servant in the palace to do something like this, for there was no enmity between them. Moreover, it was stealing Huo Yingcheng’s lighter.

But no matter how she thought about it, she couldn’t fathom who would do such a thing.

Because she had no idea how she would face tomorrow, Yu Bao’er tossed and turned, and only fell asleep in the later part of the night.

Early the next morning, Yu Bao’er’s father woke her up and told her that breakfast was ready. He also asked her if Huo Yingcheng, who was coming to collect the lighter from her, was here yet or not.

Yu Bao’er still didn’t know. She had just finished eating when she received Huo Yingcheng’s call.

His tone sounded much better than yesterday. He only coldly said this, “I’m outside your residential area. Just bring my lighter down to me.”

Startled, Yu Bao’er immediately set down her chopsticks and went back to her room to change her clothes, and then down with the lighter.

When she got downstairs, Yu Bao’er indeed saw a tall and well-built figure outside her residential area.

Huo Yingcheng was too tall, and where she lived, such tall and muscular men were rarely seen. Wearing a long trench coat and smoking a cigarette while he stood there, he looked…

A bit like a bad guy.

Many pa.s.sers-by cautiously sized him up.

Until he saw Yu Bao’er.

He extinguished his cigarette and tossed it into the trash can. Yu Bao’er jogged towards him and handed the lighter over to him. “Here, take it. Your lighter.”

Huo Yingcheng looked at Yu Bao’er with a somewhat grumpy look.

She was wearing a white knit s.h.i.+rt. As it was October, the weather had started to become chilly; her hair was draped over her shoulders, giving off the youthful vibe of a young lady. Underneath, she wore black leggings and slippers.

Perhaps in her hurry, one could see her panting rapidly.

Huo Yingcheng took the lighter from her, and after one glance, ascertained that it was his missing lighter.

Yu Bao’er gave the lighter back to him, and her face fell. She then turned around to prepare to leave.

“Hold it there.”

Huo Yingcheng suddenly called out to her, startling Yu Bao’er. She thought that he was going to seek trouble with her, so she fl.u.s.teredly let out a low growl, “What? I’ve already returned it to you. I’ve said it many times that I wasn’t the one who took your lighter. What more do you want?”

Unexpectedly, Huo Yingcheng said something surprising. “I know you’re not the one who took it.”

After clarifying the matter yesterday, Huo Yingcheng nearly had an urge to beat someone up.

But he couldn’t tell Yu Bao’er yet.

Yu Bao’er widened her eyes. “Who was it? Hurry up and tell me. I’m going to beat ‘him’ to death! How can he make me suffer such a wrongful accusation!”

Huo Yingcheng: “…”

How could he tell her?
