Taking a step back, even if it happened, it would be because Gao Qiao did not start out right, being the scumbag that he was. Ye Yao did not feel any psychological burden.

Huo Buyu was not convinced. “Why did it rain in the morning then? That wasn’t considered a physical object, right?”

Ye Yao was speechless. Why were they back to the topic again?

Huo Buyu was so angry that he hit her head. “You, you won’t listen no matter what I say. Speak less, do you hear me?”

Ye Yao took out her cell phone and started playing video games. “If I didn’t speak, wouldn’t that make me a mute…” Moreover, if she wanted to understand her jinxing capability, she naturally had to talk more and experiment more. Only then would she be able to figure out how it worked.

The video game just started up when a call came in. Ye Yao raised her eyebrows in surprise when she saw the long string of numbers on the screen. She recognized Zhou Chen’s number at a glance. She had given her cell phone number only to Yang Ya because they were meeting up over a meal today. Other than that, she only had Huo Buyu in her contact list.

Zhou Chen must have gotten her phone number from Yang Ya. Therefore, these people were all in cahoots. In the time after Ye Yao had fallen in love with Zhou Chen, Yang Ya had never made an appearance. Even when she was about to get engaged and sent Yang Ya a message, Yang Ya only replied that she did not have time, so the woman had no idea that Zhou Chen was her ex-boyfriend.

Ye Yao suddenly felt that her miserable life in the past seemed to be made up of a circle of people. Everyone in this circle was doing very well, she was the only one suffering.

Ye Yao didn’t answer the call and let her phone continue ringing. The noise caused some disturbance to Huo Buyu, who was reading through some documents. “Who’s calling? Why aren’t you answering?”

Ye Yao smiled at Huo Buyu and replied, “It’s a call from my ex-boyfriend. May I take it?”

Huo Buyu immediately placed his document down and snatched the phone from Ye Yao. He picked up the call and put it on speaker. Zhou Chen’s voice could be heard instantly. He sounded pleasantly surprised. “Ye Yao, you’re finally picking up the call. I’m sorry. That matter was my fault. I originally planned to break off the engagement with Ye Sui and look for you. I love you. I love only you. Ye Yao, wait for me. When I’m done here, I’ll elope with you.”

Ye Yao listened to Zhou Chen’s sweet nothings nonchalantly as she chewed on grapes. Listening to all these words was like listening to a joke. He had already said that he wanted to elope with her, so what was left for him to deal with? Actually, Zhou Chen was an irresponsible man. Whenever he encountered a problem, he would either run away or lie. Obviously, he had cheated on her, but he spoke sweet words and lied to her nevertheless. Scumbag! He was even worse than Gao Qiao!

As Huo Buyu listened to Zhou Chen’s passionate confession to his woman, his expression began to freeze over. Ye Yao shrugged innocently, as if to say, “It has nothing to do with me. I didn’t ask you to answer the call.”

Zhou Chen spoke for a long time and realized that Ye Yao did not respond. “Ye Yao? Why aren’t you saying anything? I want to see you. Can we meet tomorrow? There are some things I want to tell you in person.”

Huo Buyu said coldly, “What do you want to say to my girlfriend? Zhou Chen, if you dare to harass Ye Yao again, do you believe that I’ll kick you out of the imperial capital?”

Beep, beep, beep… When Zhou Chen heard the man’s voice, he immediately hung up. Ye Yao laughed aloud. Look at what a coward Zhou Chen was, he didn’t even dare to ask who Huo Buyu was!

Huo Buyu was taken aback, obviously. He did not expect Zhou Chen to be so cowardly. The man had just declared that he liked Ye Yao and wanted to elope with her…

Huo Buyu remarked, “Are you blind to have fallen for such a thing?”

Ye Yao was laughing so much that she clutched her abdomen. “Maybe I was really blind in the past. Well, I’m off to bed now.”

Huo Buyu was speechless. He felt a void, having nowhere to channel his energy now. He was prepared for a ‘friendly exchange’ with Zhou Chen. He had expected a few harsh words from the man at least, not an outcome like this. Such a man was not his match at all.

When Huo Buyu went upstairs, Ye Yao was still awake. She patted the bed beside her and said coquettishly, “I’m not having my period today. You…” Before she could finish speaking, a black flurry shadow pressed down on her. Ye Yao exclaimed, then every other noise was quickly devoured by Huo Buyu…

There was heat and sweat in equal parts. Although Huo Buyu was very fierce when he did this, it was also very satisfying… After it ended, Ye Yao’s forehead was covered in a sprinkling of sweat. With Huo Buyu’s help, she started to breathe normally by and by.
