Wife is Fierce, Don’t Mess With Her!-Chapter 845: Huo Yingcheng, Yu Bao'er (17)
“Hello, but very sorry, I can’t speak English.”
Yu Bao’er could only repeat the sentence she used most frequently these few days to him.
The other party seemed a tad taken aback. No idea if she was imagining things, she thought she saw his smile fade a little. But still, he remained gentlemanly and gracious, and he started speaking in not-so-fluent Mandarin, “Beautiful Eastern lady, are you Chinese?”
Hearing him speak in Mandarin, Yu Bao’er nodded in delight. “Yes, can you speak Mandarin?”
“I learned it for a while back in school. I can’t speak it very well though.”
Lloyd gave her a polite and charming smile. Yu Bao’er shook her head. “No, you speak very well. At least your grammar is very accurate.”
Although his accent sounded a tad awkward, it didn’t stop her from comprehending what he was saying.
“Oh? Really? Beautiful lady, I wonder if I have the honor of having you teach me Chinese?”
Yu Bao’er was slightly nervous.
Was he hitting on her?
Moreover, it was way too straightforward.
But most girls had no immunity seeing such a gentlemanly and handsome aristocrat from a foreign country.
Yu Bao’er felt her face turn red. However, she found this man’s voice familiar. Especially when he spoke in English earlier.
Could she have met him before?
Yu Bao’er was feeling a tad confused, but the man before her started introducing himself. “Hello, beautiful lady. My name is Lloyd. I wonder if I have the honor of getting to know you?”
Lloyd. Even more familiar now…
Yu Bao’er was about to respond to him when she heard a sneer beside her. “Lloyd, you didn’t register a word of what I said to you yesterday, did you? You even dare to come and look for her today. You’re seriously bold, huh.”
But it was spoken in English, so Yu Bao’er couldn’t understand that.
She could only be sure that the person speaking was Huo Yingcheng.
Turning her head, indeed it was Huo Yingcheng walking over.
Lloyd’s expression froze at the sight of Huo Yingcheng. “I asked around. You’re not at all related to this woman. I’m interested in her. Can’t you just let me have her?”
“Even if we’re not related, she’s not someone you can have designs on.”
Huo Yingcheng frowned. “Lloyd, do you think that she can easily be courted, like your other lovers? Keep away your filthy thoughts, if not you’d better watch out!”
Lloyd’s countenance was terrible. After taking one last indignant look at Yu Bao’er, he had no choice but to leave.
Yu Bao’er was in a dazed state throughout. Seeing Lloyd leave in a huff, she looked towards Huo Yingcheng. “You scolded him?”
Huo Yingcheng: “…”
Looking at the puzzled-looking Yu Bao’er, Huo Yingcheng let out a sigh. “You should just ignore strangers who try to hit on you. Do you know who that man is? He’s that fellow who tried to take advantage of you when you were drunk last night!”
Yu Bao’er widened her eyes. “Oh my god. He looks like a decent human being. I truly couldn’t tell.”
Her words made Huo Yingcheng curl his lips.
Yu Bao’er saw that Lloyd’s leaving back view appeared angry. “F*ck. To think he’s even fuming over this. I’m the one who should be angry. Who knew a decent-looking human being like him is capable of doing something like this.”
“I’ve said there are plenty of people like that in the royal palace. Baron Lloyd is a notorious playboy in Penalan’s upper society. If you hooked up with him, you might not necessarily be able to get away even if you shed a layer of skin. You should be glad that I helped you!”
