Chapter 93 - 93: Not Playing Gooseberry
Next was Jiang Jie’s other wish of marrying Yang Youwei, then having Yang Youwei’s child, and then living happily ever after with Yang Youwei… Anyway, everything in her life was related to Yang Youwei.
Ye Yao helplessly pulled herself away from Jiang Jie. Recently, she had come across a saying that the happiest thing for a man was to find a girl whose heart and vision was filled with him. This was a beautiful saying. The current Jiang Jie was the girl whose heart and vision was filled with Yang Youwei. Ye Yao began to envy Yang Youwei.
Inevitably, Ye Yao thought of herself and Huo Buyu. What about their relationship? In the time they’d been together, they always had conflicts. She had even wanted to run away in the beginning. She didn’t like Huo Buyu’s stone face, nor did she like how he’d always keep an eye on her. She could talk about what she didn’t like about Huo Buyu for three days and three nights, but because these shortcomings belonged to Huo Buyu, she could accept them.
Jiang Jie’s love for Yang Youwei was crazy, passionate, and without any reservation. Anyone who knew Jiang Jie knew that she loved Yang Youwei boldly and openly. In fact, Ye Yao was envious of Jiang Jie. She was envious of such love. Then she thought about her almost secretive relationship with Huo Buyu. Apart from Gao Qiao, not many people knew that they were together. On the contrary… Huo Buyu didn’t seem to have hidden his relationship with her. Why did she feel that her relationship with Huo Buyu should be kept undercover?
Ye Yao was very frustrated. She couldn’t take it any longer. Suddenly, she slapped the table and said, “I want the entire world to know that I’m with Huo Buyu!”
Suddenly, Ye Yao’s phone rang. It was a news notification. It said that the young master of the Huo family had a girlfriend and there was even a photograph attached. The image showed Huo Buyu unbuckling Ye Yao’s seatbelt. It showed half of Huo Buyu’s side profile, and her face was obscured by him so she couldn’t be seen clearly.
Ye Yao slapped herself. “I take back what I said just then. I don’t want the entire world to know that I’m with Huo Buyu.”
Admittedly, Ye Yao had a fright. It was just a casual remark. Did it have to make the news headlines? If she didn’t take back her words quickly, Weibo would probably explode later. This was too scary!
Ye Yao patted her chest. She finally understood why she and Huo Buyu had been secretive about being in love. It was because being Huo Buyu’s girlfriend was too attention-catching, and she didn’t want that sort of attention. She was wrong. She shouldn’t have blamed Huo Buyu, because she had asked for all of this. It had nothing to do with Huo Buyu. Huo Buyu had never denied their relationship. It was just that he hadn’t publicized it so openly.
Ye Yao took a deep breath and turned on her phone again. Just as she was about to look at the news, the screen suddenly turned black. Then, the push notification for the news disappeared without a trace. Perhaps it had disappeared before most people had a chance to look at it.
It was all too mysterious… Ye Yao shook her head and put this matter to the back of her mind as she and Jiang Jie started window shopping in the mall. Just when they were almost done, Jiang Jie received a job so she happily called Yang Youwei, saying, “I’ve just got a job and my assistant isn’t with me. Will you come and pick me up?”
After Jiang Jie hung up the phone sweetly, she said to Ye Yao, “Yang Youwei is picking me up and sending me to work. I’m going to have to leave you here to find your own way home.” Although Jiang Jie and Ye Yao were good friends, when it came to Yang Youwei, she certainly wasn’t going to let Ye Yao play gooseberry! She wanted to enjoy her alone time with Yang Youwei!
Ye Yao pursed her lips. Then, she remembered that Huo Buyu seemed to have said that he’d come to pick her up, so she waved at Jiang Jie. “Go ahead. Go and be in love with your Yang Youwei. Don’t worry about me.”
Jiang Jie grinned and left without looking back.
Ye Yao took out her phone and called Huo Buyu. “Alright, I’m done. When are you coming to pick me up?”
Huo Buyu was still busy and said to Ye Yao, “I’ll get my assistant to bring you to the office. Wait for me for a bit and we’ll go home together.”
Ye Yao agreed and hung up the phone. She felt a little guilty. It appeared that Huo Buyu had been kept busy only because she had asked Gao Qiao to think of a way to lure Huo Buyu away. But… what exactly had Gao Qiao done? She called Gao Qiao at once.. “Gao Qiao, what did you do to delay Huo Buyu?”
