Novel Full Chapter 852: Huo Yingcheng, Yu Bao’er (24)
“Brother!”
Yu Bao’er greeted when she saw Yu Kairan. She pushed her luggage over. “Quick, help me with my luggage. It’s super heavy! It’s filled with presents for you guys.”
Yu Bao’er’s older brother Yu Kairan was 24 this year, two years older than Yu Bao’er.
Back then, after Yu Kairan was born, the Yu couple decided they wanted a girl, and it so happened that their second child was a daughter. They named her Yu Bao’er.
One could just imagine how much she was doted upon at home.
Yu Kairan was quite good-looking, but his handsomeness differed from others. He had a fierce face, with sharp, cold, and tough facial features.
At present, he was even a mixed martial arts instructor.
He had well-developed muscles all over his body.
He was wearing a long-sleeved top which hid a large black dragon tattoo on his arm.
During summer, everyone thought that Yu Bao’er’s older brother was from the triads…
Yu Bao’er knew that her older brother was clueless, but doted on her. Although his appearance was a tad fierce, it had an imposing effect.
When she was a kid, whenever someone dared to bully Bao’er, Yu Kairan only had to stand in front of her, and the other party would wimp out instantly.
Yu Kairan took Yu Bao’er’s luggage from her and even let out a snort. “Are you sure these are presents for us and not something you randomly bought on the way?”
Yu Bao’er scoffed. “Brother, your words are too hurtful. Even if they were bought on the way, they’re still presents! At the very least, they are items from Penalan. No one in our family has been to Penalan, has there?”
“Look at you. How happy you look going there on the invitation of your bestie.”
Yu Bao’er didn’t dare to tell them that Gu Qingjiu was getting married to royalty in Penalan, only that she was attending a wealthy person’s wedding in Penalan. Her family would surely be startled otherwise.
She was counting on showing off to her family using this!
“Of course.”
Yu Bao’er was quite gleeful. She scoffed at Yu Kairan, before pushing at her luggage and leaving with him.
When she got back home, her parents were already waiting.
Her father’s name was Yu Chengzhuang, and her mother’s name was Miao Jiahe.
The two of them were from the farming generation, which wasn’t too particular about names. Also, at home, her father would often call Miao Jiahe by her pet name, Miao Erhua. Her father also got a nickname, Yu Dazhuang.
Thankfully her mother didn’t directly call him Yu Ergou[1].
If not, it would be tedious at home.
“Aiyoh, Sweetie, you’re back!”
Yu Chengzhuang was in his forties, nearing 50. As a middle-aged man, he had a plump figure and bulging stomach.
He was chubby and often wore a smile, looking quite amiable. Most importantly, he truly doted on his daughter.
Miao Jiahe was an ordinary housewife, but she knew how to doll herself up. Since she managed to give birth to a pretty daughter, her looks weren’t too bad in her younger days either. Even now that she had aged, she still had suitors. Once, a suitor even came to their house to confess to Miao Jiahe, much to Yu Chengzhuang’s fury.
“Aye, Dad, I’m back. Have you missed me!”
Yu Bao’er pounced over to give her old man a fervent hug. Her dad looked at her happily, but that expression was followed by a worried one, the same old expression was seen on his face every time she returned from a trip. He said the same old line, “You’ve grown thinner!”
Yu Bao’er: “…”
Oh please. She had been stuffing herself with food in the palace every day. How could her father say that she had gotten thinner without feeling sheepish?
“Thinner? Look, even her waist has become thicker. Must be because of all that good food she’s eaten during this period!”
