Huo Buyu felt most satisfied as he put his arms around Ye Yao’s soft body. “School will start in two days. All your personal information has been submitted. Study hard in school and don’t spout nonsense, understand?”

Ye Yao nodded. “Yes, I’ll take note of that.”

Huo Buyu expressed his nervousness. There were so many people in the school, and a few words from Ye Yao could cause a group of people to suffer. For example, if she were to suddenly say that the soup scalded her tongue while eating, then everyone in the canteen may not be able to escape the fate of being scalded by the soup. For another example, if Ye Yao were to suddenly say that the ground was 60 degrees Celsius under the scorching sun, the pedestrians could very well turn into braised pork. Just the thought of this scene was terrifying.

With his arms around the girl, Huo Buyu suggested, “Little cutie, how about let’s not go to school?”

Ye Yao immediately shouted, “Huo Buyu, you big liar. If you don’t let me go to school, I’ll stay at home every day and put a jinx for perpetual bad weather in the capital!”

Huo Buyu replied, “Fine, fine, alright. It’s my fault. Go, go to school.” Sigh, he didn’t know how Ye Yao ended up having this capability, whether it could be removed, or if his girlfriend would ever go back to being normal?

Huo Buyu felt that Ye Yao was like a ticking time bomb that could explode at any time.

Ye Yao punched Huo Buyu’s chest angrily. “You’re too much. You keep regarding me as a dangerous person. Is there anything I can actually do? Why are you always worried that I’ll harm others? Do you have any idea that I’ve always been a victim of bullying?!” In the past, she had never been loved by either of her parents. No one liked her. Anyone could step all over her, and no one felt sorry for her.

Huo Buyu hugged Ye Yao and coaxed her gently. “It’s not that I don’t care about you. I care too much about you. Think about it. If someone with some authority finds out that you have such an ability, that you can make things happen with your spoken words, what will they do?”

Ye Yao’s hair stood on end instantly and her scalp went numb. She did not want to delve further into this topic and turned around to sleep.

Huo Buyu shook his head helplessly. He patted her back gently and coaxed her to sleep.

The next morning, Ye Yao was woken up by the incessant ringing of her phone. Huo Buyu, who had an excellent biological clock, had yet to wake up when Ye Yao was woken up by the incoming call. She picked up the phone angrily. “Who is it?! It’s so early in the morning. Are you crazy?!”

“Ye Yao, it’s Dad…” the person on the other end of the phone said.

Ye Yao was stunned for a moment. She looked at the caller ID on his phone. It seemed to be from her heartless father. That was interesting. In the past, it was always Ye Tianhao who would raise his voice at her. But now that she was shouting at Ye Tianhao, not only did he not berate her, he even lowered his voice. Impossible!

The girl asked, “Why are you calling? I’m not awake yet. We’ll talk after I wake up.”

“Don’t, Ye Yao, don’t hang up.” Ye Tianhao shouted anxiously, “Ye Yao, I’m calling over an urgent matter. Hurry up and get Dad a new card. I had saved all my money into your card account previously. I need money now for urgent business, but I’m unable to withdraw it.”

Ye Yao was puzzled. Ye Tianhao deposited money into her bank card account? It was more likely that he’d spend all the money in it!

She asked the man, “How much money did you deposit?”

Ye Tianhao replied, “100 million.”

Ye Yao exclaimed in surprise. Ye Tianhao actually had 100 million yuan to deposit into her bank card account? This was too unbelievable!

Ye Yao thought for a moment and said, “This card of mine earns between 30 to 50 million yuan a year. You’ve spent all the money over the years. Take the money in the bank card account as your compensation to me.”

It was impossible to return this money to Ye Tianhao.

Ye Tianhao shouted, “Ye Yao! You can’t do this. I came to the capital this time to do business and I’m counting on this money for an investment. You have to quickly reapply for a new card. Just take it that I’m begging you.”

No matter how Ye Yao thought about it, she felt that something was amiss. However, she was not fully awake and her brain was not functioning. “You’ll just have to wait. I’ll call you back when I’m up.” With that, she hung up.

Huo Buyu had already been woken up, but it was very close to the time he’d normally wake up. He got up and kissed Ye Yao on the cheek. “I’ll make you breakfast.”

Ye Yao grabbed his hand. “Help me check my bank card account transactions for the last three months. I want details!”

Huo Buyu patted her tiny face and took out a document from the drawer beside him. He handed it to Ye Yao and said, “Take a look. You might be shocked.”
