Chapter 49 - 49: My Boyfriend Is the Most Handsome
Ye Yao was walking slowly behind the two men. As she walked, she caught up with Huo Buyu. She whispered, “Um..
Huo Buyu’s expression remained ugly. “You were spouting nonsense again.”
Ye Yao covered her mouth and looked at Huo Buyu pitifully. “I really didn’t do it on purpose. Sometimes, I can’t control myself. Can you stop being angry at me?”
Huo Buyu glanced at her and said icily, “You’re like a child trying to avoid responsibility now. You said that you can’t control yourself. What do you mean by that? What was that scene just now? So many people tripping over each other. Ye Yao, what exactly were you trying to do?”
More than a hundred people were tripping over each other all at once. No one thought too deeply about it. After all, they lived in a modern era. Who would believe in fantasy? However, the scale of the commotion today was too big. Who could guarantee that no one would suspect anything?
Ye Yao scratched her head and continued to coax Huo Buyu. “I’ve really realized my mistake. Please forgive me for this once.”
When Gao Qiao arrived at the supermarket, he bought all the mineral water in the store and got someone to transport it to the field. He turned around and looked at Huo Buyu and Ye Yao behind him. He smiled but didn’t say anything.
Lin Qingning also turned around and happened to see Ye Yao acting coquettishly towards Huo Buyu. She was quite sure Gao Qiao had seen this scene too. Recalling how Gao Qiao had glared at her when she had only stepped forward to ask Huo Buyu a question, and seeing how Ye Yao and Huo Buyu seemed so close that Ye Yao even acted coquettishly towards him, Lin Qingning felt very aggrieved. Ye Yao’s actions were clearly much more overboard than hers, but why didn’t Gao Qiao chide Ye Yao?! Lin Qingning felt very indignant.
Gao Qiao and Huo Buyu didn’t stay at the field for long. They left after delivering the water. The others continued their military training, while Ye Yao and the rest were allowed to sit on the sideline to rest. Lin Qingning approached Ye Yao and asked mysteriously, “Ye Yao, who are you? You have such a good relationship with Gao Qiao. Is your family very powerful in the capital?”
Ye Yao shrugged. “I’m not from the capital city. I’m from S City. I have a good relationship with Gao Qiao. Gao Qiao took care of me on account of my boyfriend.”
Lin Qingning was taken aback. “You have a boyfriend?”
“Yes,” Ye Yao answered
Immediately, Lin Qingning gave Ye Yao a strange look. Since Ye Yao had a boyfriend and was so close to Huo Buyu, was she intending to pursue Huo Buyu? However, Lin Qingning did not stupidly ask this question. She looked at
Ye Yao meaningfully. “Do you think Huo Buyu is more handsome than Gao Qiao?”
Ye Yao replied without hesitation, “My boyfriend is the most handsome!”
Lin Qingning was stunned for a moment. She felt puzzled. From the looks of it, Ye Yao seemed to love her boyfriend very much. But since she was so in love with her boyfriend, why was she trying to seduce Huo Buyu?
Lin Qingning shook her head and threw this doubt to the back of her mind. She casually chatted with Ye Yao instead. “You actually think that your boyfriend is more handsome than Senior Huo Buyu and Senior Gao Qiao. It seems like you love your boyfriend very much, but I think Senior Huo Buyu is more handsome. He’s tall, aloof, steady, and wealthy. However, it’s a pity. Senior Gao Qiao said that Senior Huo Buyu has a girlfriend whom he loves very much. Being so close to Gao Qiao, you would have met Senior Huo Buyu’s girlfriend, right? What’s she like? Is she very good-looking?”
Ye Yao was stumped and quite confused. She had made it so obvious. Why hadn’t Lin Qingning figured out that her boyfriend was Huo Buyu? However, she couldn’t take the initiative to tell Lin Qingning that her boyfriend was Huo Buyu. The girl would probably think that she was daydreaming. She could only nod. “Yes, I think Huo Buyu’s girlfriend is very good. Super good.” Of course she had to praise herself.
Lin Qingning rested her chin on her hand and fell into deep thought. She had been outstanding in her studies since she was young. She was also considered pretty, and some of her thoughts were very dreamy. She felt that she could marry into a wealthy family and move up the social ladder. She could become the wife of the most powerful man. With this thought in mind, she had always been arrogant. She felt that the men around her were not worthy of her. The only ones who were probably worthy of her were people like Huo Buyu. Hence, she wanted to woo Huo Buyu.
Ye Yao could easily tell, at a glance, what was on Lin Qingning’s mind. She shook her head helplessly. What a materialistic society. How could there be so many fairy tales about young girls dreaming of being in love? Even when she was with Huo Buyu, she had never thought that the two of them would last long..
