The most attractive thing about Huo Buyu was his noble aura. If he had been in the entertainment industry, all the women would have gone crazy over him. Unfortunately… beneath his handsome appearance was a crazy soul.

Ye Yao retorted, “How am I causing trouble? I’m very well-behaved.”

“Well behaved?” Huo Buyu sneered and took out his phone to play a video footage. A familiar voice came from the phone. “Everyone, come and take a look. This woman’s name is Ye Yao. She sleeps around and became someone’s lover. She even shamelessly tried to seduce her brother-in-law. Everyone be warned, stay away from her. Otherwise, before you realize it, your boyfriend or husband would have been seduced by her!”

A trace of confusion flashed across Ye Yao’s eyes. She looked at Huo Buyu’s phone. The screen was showing the scene of her and Ye Sui arguing in the mall.

Ye Yao was speechless for a moment before she started explaining, “I really wasn’t causing trouble. She was the one who caused trouble for me. Surely you’re not going to let me be bullied, right? Is my retaliation considered causing trouble? Besides… I was really careful with my words.” Ye Yao’s tone gradually became more aggrieved. She had an astounding talent to render others quite speechless. She was blessed with the gift of jinxing. The good words spoken by her may not come true, but the negative remarks certainly would. In other words, she was the legendary jinx. As long as something bad came out of her mouth, it would immediately come true. It was very strange.

In the three months since Huo Buyu brought Ye Yao back to the imperial capital, the communication system had broken down three times. The Seventh Ring Road, which never had traffic jams, also became congested. Cars suddenly broke down on the road, and people who were playing with their cell phones with their heads lowered would accidentally walk right into the river… As long as Ye Yao opened her mouth to complain about something, bad luck would befall someone. How could Huo Buyu not adopt a shorter leash when minding a high-risk human like Ye Yao? Normally, he’d be on tenterhooks when letting her out, nervous that she’d carelessly make some remark like “Why hasn’t the world been destroyed?”. It could very well happen the next moment.

Initially, Huo Buyu didn’t believe in Ye Yao’s ability, but reality had proven it so repeatedly that he had no choice but to believe it. For the sake of the safety of the imperial capital and the thousands of innocent people on the streets, he had to watch over Ye Yao carefully!

Huo Buyu pinched Ye Yao’s chin. “If someone dares to bully you, tell me and I’ll help you get rid of them. You don’t have to open your mouth.”

Ye Yao pouted in dissatisfaction. “But in some situations, it just feels more satisfying to take my own revenge.”

Huo Buyu replied, “I can satisfy you right now.”

Ye Yao was speechless. When she noticed the look of burning desire in Huo Buyu’s eyes, she tactfully fell silent. Huo Buyu, this hooligan! She first met Huo Buyu overseas and had begged him to save her. She had even sworn that she’d never have any thoughts of leaving him or abandoning him, or she’d suffer retribution. Following that, the two of them became lovers.

However… after Huo Buyu brought Ye Yao back to the imperial capital, she forgot the oath she had made and more than once, even tried to escape. However, she was always captured by Huo Buyu and taken home. Perhaps it was because she had violated her oath, her jinx function that would cause anyone else’s misfortune did not work on Huo Buyu. As long as she cursed Huo Buyu, the misfortune would fall on her instead. This seemed to be a punishment from the heavens for her escape attempts. For example, soon after she had said this morning that she wished something would fall on Huo Buyu’s head, the toy on the wall had fallen and hit her on her head.

Ye Yao quickly changed the topic. “I’m hungry.”

Huo Buyu hit the service bell, and the waiter began to serve up the dishes. Ye Yao liked the steak here very much. Huo Buyu could bring her here twice a week. Honestly, life with Huo Buyu was a very comfortable one for her, just that the man was a control freak, and it could get unbearable.

Suddenly, Ye Yao’s phone rang. It was a voice call from her father, Ye Tianhao.

Ye Yao picked up the call and put it on speaker as she made a shushing gesture at Huo Buyu. As soon as the voice call was connected, Ye Tianhao’s angry roar blasted through the speaker. “Ye Yao! You actually came back! Who said you’re allowed back?! I’ve spent so much money to send you overseas to study. Instead of studying hard, you’ve actually come back on your own! You’re even fooling around with an old man!”

Ye Yao said faintly, “And so? What do you want to say?”

Back then, following that incident involving Ye Sui and Zhou Chen, Ye Tianhao had mercilessly sent her overseas and even took her passport away, leaving her to fend for herself in a foreign land. Ye Yao did not have any expectations for such a father. If he had the cheek to berate her, she’d curse him to death!
