Ye Yao shrugged. “She was outside just then… my half-sister with completely different parents.”

“Is she tired of living?” As he said this, Huo Buyu replied to Ye Sui: “You have a death wish?” After doing all this, he looked at Ye Yao. “How did she know your phone number?”

Exasperated, Ye Yao replied, “Before yesterday, you were the only one who knew my phone number. However, after I gave my phone number to Yang Ya, it seemed that many people came to know of it.”

It was obvious that Yang Ya had leaked Ye Yao’s phone number. The more Huo Buyu read the message, the more he felt that something was amiss. “Are these people blind? Can’t they tell I’m your boyfriend!” Why did they think that Gao Qiao was Ye Yao’s boyfriend? Wasn’t it obvious from his attitude?

Ye Yao stifled her giggles. In fact, Huo Buyu had already made it very obvious. However, the Zhou family and Ye Sui chose to believe what they believed. They would rather believe that Gao Qiao was Ye Yao’s boyfriend because Gao Qiao was a Casanova and treated women like that. They wanted to believe that Ye Yao would be dumped by Gao Qiao in a few days, and it would become possible for them to bully Ye Yao at that point. However if her boyfriend was Huo Buyu, it would be a different story.

Huo Buyu was the crown prince of the imperial capital. The Huo family was the elite of the elites in the imperial capital, and the eldest son was the President. Huo Buyu could do whatever he wanted in the imperial capital. Most importantly, he didn’t have a complicated love history. If Ye Yao was Huo Buyu’s girlfriend, she might even become Huo Buyu’s wife in the future. He was an existence that the Zhou family and Ye Sui wouldn’t dare to mess around with, and this was the last thing they wanted to see. Instead, they wanted to see Ye Yao in dire straits and bullied by everyone.

Ye Yao shared her thoughts with Huo Buyu. Huo Buyu frowned. “What sort of people do you have around you?!”

Huo Buyu didn’t like to criticize how others lived their lives, but Ye Yao’s life had really broadened his horizons. Her relatives were all demons and devils!

Ye Yao said, “It’s fine. Aren’t they at my mercy, now that they’re on your territory?” Although she didn’t want to interact with them, these people were trampling all over her. Of course, she wouldn’t be soft-hearted about it.

Huo Buyu held Ye Yao’s hand as if he was giving her strength. Ye Yao kissed him on the cheek, and Huo Buyu’s mood slowly improved.

Every time they ate, Ye Yao felt that it was good to be with Huo Buyu. Ever since she got together with Huo Buyu, she had tried all kinds of delicacies. Although she came from a good family background, Ye Tianhao had always been very harsh on her. He gave her anything that was edible, so she wasn’t picky about food. However, not long after she got together with Huo Buyu, she became picky because she had tried too many delicious foods. She became critical of anything that wasn’t delicious and rejected it.

After lunch, the sky had already darkened. Huo Buyu asked Ye Yao, “Would you like to go home or go for a walk?”

Rubbing her stomach, the girl said, “Let’s walk for a while to digest our food. I’m too full.”

Turning to Gao Qiao, Huo Buyu asked, “I’m taking Ye Yao to the mall. How about you?”

Gao Qiao stretched lazily. “I have nothing to do anyway. Let’s walk together.”

As they walked from the restaurant to the mall, they passed by a square. The square was filled with fresh flowers. Bright red roses covered the entire area. There were at least tens of thousands of them.

Gao Qiao raised an eyebrow. “Aiyo, how generous!”

In the middle of the square, there was a group of young people dancing to create an atmosphere. In the middle stood a beautiful woman. She shouted loudly, “Yang Youwei, I love you! I want to be your girlfriend! Let’s be together!”

An aloof-looking man appeared on the LED screen. The two protagonists were not far away. Jiang Jie was holding a large bouquet of roses in her hand. There was a smile on her beautiful face as she looked at Yang Youwei in front of her. This was her 1001st confession.

Ye Yao was standing nearby and looking at the two of them. She had seen this scene many times. It was precisely because Jiang Jie was obsessed with her uncle, Yang Youwei, that she and Jiang Jie became best friends. Moreover, she often came up with ideas to help Jiang Jie woo Yang Youwei. Unfortunately, Yang Youwei was a blockhead and had never been moved.

Sometimes, Ye Yao could not understand Jiang Jie. What was so great about Yang Youwei? He was simply a fool! She had pursued him for so many years and never once had he given her a response!

Yang Youwei said flatly, “I reject.”

As expected, Ye Yao heard the familiar answer.

“Don’t.” Jiang Jie, who had been rejected, wasn’t angry. Instead, she looked at Yang Youwei with a grin and persisted. “Why don’t you give me a chance.”
