Jiang Yun suddenly took out two tickets from her bag and handed them to Huo
Buyu. “I have a concert in three days. Come with your girlfriend.” With that, she took out two more tickets and handed them to Gao Qiao. “These are yours.”
Huo Buyu put away the tickets politely. “I might not have the time to go. Ye Yao has been undergoing military training recently and is very busy every day. Her studies are the most important thing now.”
Jiang Yun was stunned for a moment. She could tell that this was Huo Buyu’s rejection. This had never happened before, and it was actually because of Ye Yao. However, she didn’t look unhappy at all. She even echoed, “Of course, Miss Ye’s studies are the most important.”
“Yes,” Huo Buyu replied calmly. Previously, he had gotten along well with Jiang Yun because they didn’t had no grievances between them. Back then, his grandfather had asked him to select a girlfriend for himself between Jiang Yun and Qin Jiao. He had chosen Qin Jiao because he felt that his relationship with Jiang Yun was very pure and didn’t wish to spoil the relationship. However, now that he knew how Jiang Yun felt about him, he had a grievance against her. Jiang Yun was too scheming and knew how to hide it. Of course, the most important thing was that Ye Yao was a jealous person, and he didn’t want her to feel insecure, thinking that he would cheat on her. He had a girlfriend now, so he naturally had to keep a distance from other women.
Gao Qiao was even more direct. He returned the tickets to Jiang Yun, saying, “You know that I’m just a layman. I’ll only doze off watching your concert, so don’t waste the tickets.”
Gao Qiao’s personality was straightforward to begin with, and he felt that Ye Yao did not like Jiang Yun. He thought if he rejected Jiang Yun now, he’d be able to get closer to Ye Yao. He did not care if he had Jiang Yun as a friend, but there was only one Ye Yao in the world! She was the only one with such a magical ability, so as long as Ye Yao was around, he could give up on his other friends!
Jiang Yun lowered her head to drink water, but her gaze swept across to Ye Yao, who was across her. Her gaze suddenly deepened.
Huo Buyu really liked Ye Yao and took good care of her at the dining table. There was also Gao Qiao. Because he was interested in Ye Yao’s ability, he was like Ye Yao’s lackey and full of enthusiasm.
This scene made Jiang Yun very uncomfortable. In the past, no matter what occasion it was, others would take care of her first. But now, Huo Buyu and Gao Qiao acted like they couldn’t wait to give Ye Yao the entire world.
‘l’he meal went on for two hours. By the time they were done, the skies were dark. Jiang Yun said to Huo Buyu, “Since we’re going the same way, I’ll come with you.”
Ye Yao scratched Huo Buyu’s palm.
Huo Buyu then said, “We’ll let Gao Qiao send you back. I have to take her to do some shopping.” As he spoke, he patted Ye Yao’s head. Ye Yao rubbed his palm approvingly and reminded Gao Qiao, “You must send Miss Jiang home safely.” Gao Qiao nodded. “Don’t worry, since you’ve said so, I’ll make sure of that.”
Huo Buyu couldn’t stand Gao Qiao’s lackey behavior anymore. He kicked him.
“Gao Qiao, keep a distance from my little cutie. She has a boyfriend!”
“I know, I know.” Gao Qiao quickly nodded. “I know that you’re Ye Yao’s boyfriend. I’m not trying to steal your woman. I just want to interact more with her and help you protect her. Don’t be so jumpy.”
Huo Buyu snorted coldly and then headed towards the nearby mall with Ye Yao. Gao Qiao turned to Jiang Yun and said, “Miss Jiang, let’s go. I’ll send you home.”
Jiang Yun smiled and got into Gao Qiao’s car. In the car, she teased, “It’s good that you’re getting along so well with Ye Yao and do whatever she says. If I weren’t aware that you have no intentions towards Huo Buyu’s woman, I
would’ve thought that you liked Ye Yao. She seems to be quite charming. Even your previous girlfriends couldn’t tame you this way, right?”
Gao Qiao’s was like a lackey when it came to Ye Yao, and got all excited at the mention of her. “ l can’t help it. Ye Yao is too cute. I like her so much. I just want to hang around her all the time and have fun together. It makes me super happy.” Ye Yao was simply a treasured girl – the sort that was one of a kind!
Jiang Yun asked, “Is there anything special about Ye Yao that attracts you then?”
“No,” Gao Qiao said readily. “She’s just rather cute. It’s very relaxing and pleasant to be with her.” He was now Ye Yao’s die-hard fan and would never do anything to harm Ye Yao. Therefore, he would never tell anyone about Ye Yao’s ability..
