Huo Buyu glanced at her indifferently. “A few people were doing drugs in the private room and someone made a report. An investigation is underway now. It has nothing to do with the KTV, but it needs to be closed during the investigation. It can be considered closed.”

Ye Yao turned red and covered her mouth. She gave Huo Buyu an apologetic look and said softly, “I’m sorry. I didn’t do it on purpose…”

Huo Buyu embraced her and stroked her hair. He sighed. “I don’t know what’s wrong with you either. Sometimes, I feel that it’s good that you’re so capable, but sometimes, I feel that it’s not a good thing for you to have this ability.” With her jinxing ability, she had the ability to protect herself when he wasn’t by her side. Just like the time she was overseas. If he’d gotten there a little later and she didn’t have this ability, she would have been…

Ye Yao became a little depressed. No matter what, the closure of Gao Qiao’s KTV had everything to do with her. Moreover, his KTV had always been running a proper business. If she had not opened her mouth, perhaps this wouldn’t have happened.

At this point, Gao Qiao walked over and said with a relaxed expression, “Let’s go then, time to go home.”

Ye Yao looked at him. “Are you alright?”

“What could possibly happen to me? We just need to be cooperative during the investigation. Young people nowadays really lack perspective. Why do they have to do drugs? Is that something one should mess with? It’s a good thing that someone reported it. I hope they can successfully kick the addiction at the rehabilitation center so that they don’t harm others.” Although Gao Qiao was a Casanova, he was a law-abiding citizen. It was a blunder on his KTV’s end that such a thing should happen in a private room, so he took the initiative to apologize to the police.

Ye Yao’s mood improved a little, seeing that Gao Qiao did not seem too affected. When he suggested that they had supper together, she enthusiastically volunteered to go and buy the food.

After Ye Yao left, Gao Qiao said to Huo Buyu, “Buddy, tell me the truth. Does your girlfriend have some sort of nature-defying ability?”

Huo Buyu glanced at him and answered, “Other than causing trouble, what other skills would Ye Yao have?”

“I don’t think so.” Gao Qiao got a little excited. “You know that I’ve never been stuck in a traffic jam on the route I’ve been taking. Ye Yao merely voiced a complaint today, and then there was a traffic jam. Also, the last time I saw Ye Yao, and incidents like the elevator falling, the robbery… as well as the snowing today, and now the KTV is closed. Whatever she vocalized came to pass. It is a little scary.”

Huo Buyu glared at him. “Don’t speak nonsense. There’s no such thing!”

Huo Buyu didn’t want to continue engaging in this topic, but Gao Qiao appeared to be in high spirits. If Ye Yao really had such a strange ability, it would be too fun!

Ye Yao went to the milk tea shop next door to buy milk tea, but at the point of payment, she remembered that Huo Buyu had frozen her credit card! Hence, she sent Huo Buyu a voice message. “Unfreeze my card. I don’t have the money to pay for the milk tea. Why don’t you send me a red packet first?” As soon as she finished speaking, a voice came from behind. “Let me foot the bill.”

Ye Yao froze for a moment. Then she saw Zhou Chen quickly scanning the payment code and making payment. At the same time, an alert came through on Ye Yao’s phone. Huo Buyu had sent her money.

Ye Yao scanned the payment code again and paid for the drinks. She said to the waiter, “I don’t know him. I’ve made payment now.”

Zhou Chen looked embarrassed. “Ye Yao, don’t be like this…”

Ye Yao stood by the side and waited for the milk tea to be ready. Zhou Chen also sat down. “Ye Yao, don’t be like this. I’ve really learned my lesson. Will you forgive me?”

Ye Yao did not even look at him. It only disgusted her now to even glance at the man she once loved deeply.

Ye Yao said, “Zhou Chen, I don’t think you need to continue to pester me. We’ve already broken up, and you’re engaged to Ye Sui. I also have a boyfriend who loves me.”

Zhou Chen panicked. “No, we didn’t break up. I don’t agree to breaking up! Ye Yao, I really love you…”

“Don’t disgust me.” Ye Yao got impatient. “Zhou Chen, I don’t want to hear you say these things. I don’t like you, and I refuse to be a third party. Since you’re engaged, know your place and don’t make the same mistake again.”

Back when Zhou Chen was with Ye Yao, he had already hooked up with Ye Sui. Now that he was engaged to Ye Sui, he started to pester Ye Yao again. What sort of peerless scumbag was Zhou Chen? Ye Yao felt that even if she were to forgive Zhou Chen now, Zhou Chen would still hook up with Ye Sui in a few days. If it were not Ye Sui, it would be another woman. This was Zhou Chen’s nature! He was restless!
