Chapter 18
Love at first sight
When Ye Yao heard that Huo Buyu was coming, she was only surprised for a moment. She guessed that Qin Jiao had deliberately organized this gathering at the bar today to get Gao Qiao and Huo Buyu together. Ye Yao felt this was a good thing though. It would be more fun if Huo Buyu came.
Ye Yao watched with anticipation as Huo Buyu appeared at the door and walked straight over.
“Huo Buyu!” Seeing that Huo Buyu had arrived, Qin Jiao immediately shouted excitedly. She ran over and said in anticipation, “Everyone is here. We’re just waiting for you. By the way, Gao Qiao brought his girlfriend. Take a look.”
When Huo Buyu heard that Gao Qiao had brought a girlfriend, he didn’t react until he looked up at the booth and saw the familiar person beside the man. Furthermore, Gao Qiao had boldly placed his hand on Ye Yao’s shoulder and even introduced her to Huo Buyu warmly. “Buyu, this is my girlfriend, Ye Yao.”
Ye Yao nodded at Huo Buyu and pretended not to know him. “Hello, I’m Ye Yao.”
Huo Buyu was so angry that he almost strangled her to death! She ran away from home without saying a word in the morning, and by evening, she had become Gao Qiao’s girlfriend? Huo Buyu felt like he had been cuckolded. Had he been too good to Ye Yao recently, causing her to become more and more pretentious?! Pretending not to know him indeed! Well he’d play along then!
Huo Buyu looked away coldly and sat down on the sofa. He didn’t even glance at Ye Yao.
Gao Qiao explained to Ye Yao, “Don’t take offence. He has a cold personality.”
Ye Yao nodded. “Uh huh!” She especially agreed with these words! He had blocked her credit card, leaving her with no money to spend. She almost starved. He was indeed cold, super cold!
Qin Jiao sat beside Huo Buyu. When she saw Huo Buyu and Ye Yao ignoring each other, she was overjoyed. After this evening’s situation, she didn’t believe that Ye Yao could continue to be Huo Buyu’s girlfriend! For sure, Huo Buyu would kick Ye Yao out of his house!
The atmosphere in the bar was very pleasant and Ye Yao was in a rather good mood, although she had a bit too much to drink. After a while, she stood up. “I’m going to the washroom.” Then, Qin Jiao stood up as well, announcing, “I’ll get more wine.” They left the private room one after another.
After Ye Yao left, Huo Buyu looked at Gao Qiao and asked the man, “How did you meet Ye Yao?”
Gao Qiao smiled. “What an improvement today. You actually remember my girlfriend’s name. Qin Jiao’s mother introduced her to me and said that she’s quite pretty. I’ll never refuse a woman, so I went to meet her.”
Huo Buyu’s expression darkened slightly. Qin Jiao’s mother, who was also Ye Yao’s mother, Yang Ya? He had observed the conversation between Yang Ya and Ye Yao yesterday. Yang Ya knew that Ye Yao was his girlfriend, yet she introduced a man to her? Furthermore the man was Gao Qiao? For the first time, Huo Buyu despised Gao Qiao.
He and Gao Qiao were buddies, so he had never judged Gao Qiao’s attitude towards relationships. However, Gao Qiao was a scumbag. This was an immutable attribute. Yang Ya clearly knew that Gao Qiao was a scumbag, but she introduced him to Ye Yao nevertheless? A mother like Yang Ya… and Qin Jiao’s solicitousness today… Huo Buyu immediately understood what was going on.
Gao Qiao looked at Huo Buyu’s silent expression and smiled. “You didn’t used to be interested in these things in the past. Why are you suddenly asking?”
Huo Buyu looked at Gao Qiao with a burning gaze. “Your girlfriend looks rather submissive. I like her type.”
Gao Qiao was stunned for a moment, but did not get angry. Instead, he laughed. “No way. Don’t tell me you’ve fallen for Ye Yao at first sight!”
Huo Buyu replied, “Can’t I?”
Shao Xiao and Xu Zhicheng laughed aloud when they heard this. “Gao Qiao, Huo Buyu has taken a fancy to your girlfriend. It’s rare for him to ask. What are you going to do about it?”
Gao Qiao immediately said with a generous wave of his hand, “Of course I’m giving it to him!” There was no unwillingness or embarrassment on his face. Shao Xiao and Xu Zhicheng, who were next to him, did not think much of it. Gao Qiao’s attitude towards women was like this. Moreover, it was not as though he desired the girl to such a great extent. Since his buddy had made a request… It was just a woman. Besides, this was only the first meeting between Gao Qiao and Ye Yao, they were not familiar with each other at all. Even if he were interested in her, it was only on account of her looks. He went on this blind date only because Qin Jiao repeatedly insisted.
Moreover, before the blind date, Qin Jiao had told Gao Qiao that Ye Yao had fallen out with her family over a man, so she hoped that Gao Qiao would save her and lead her out of her misery.
