Chapter 8

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Huo Buyu was a very private person and would never use platforms like WeChat Moments. To think that he had actually publicly displayed his affections on Moments! The photograph obviously depicted the hands of a man and a woman. Not only that, but he had even commented, “My little cutie!”

Alarm bells went off in Qin Jiao. She couldn’t care less about being reserved anymore. She had to make Huo Buyu stay! Huo Buyu was hers and no one must snatch him away!

Huo Buyu took a step back to distance himself from Qin Jiao. “If you’re done speaking, you may leave.” There was nothing between him and this girl to begin with. It had been great tolerance on his part that he didn’t kill her for what she had done. The fact that he was now alive and standing there was his great fortune. Back then, he had almost been killed by Qin Jiao, but Qin Jiao didn’t seem to take it to heart at all. And now she had the cheek to appear before him and claim that she loved him.

Qin Jiao was greatly hurt by Huo Buyu’s indifference and her tears fell uncontrollably. She looked at the man pitifully, as if she was bearing great suffering. “Buyu, do you have to do this to me?”

Huo Buyu couldn’t be bothered with her. They had already broken up, so she shouldn’t be pestering him. “You may leave.”

Qin Jiao knew that Huo Buyu was indifferent, but she didn’t expect him to be so heartless. Qin Jiao had been pampered since she was young, and everyone around her pandered to her. Coupled with the fact that she was beautiful, she had a long queue of suitors pursuing her. However, she only had feelings for Huo Buyu. After so many years, she had shamelessly hung around Huo Buyu. Wherever Huo Buyu went, she would appear for sure! Everyone said that she loved Huo Buyu so much that she had lost herself. Some people also said that the two were compatible and a match made in heaven, even though she was willing but he couldn’t care less.

Huo Buyu never had any feelings for Qin Jiao.

Qin Jiao instantly burst into tears. “Huo Buyu, on account of how much I love you, can’t you forgive me? Give me a chance. I’m already begging you. Can’t you forgive me? Do you have to make me kneel down before you?” She loved Huo Buyu so much that she had no self-esteem at all.

Huo Buyu frowned, looking displeased. “It’s useless even if you kneel down.”

Qin Jiao said, “Buyu, don’t treat me like this…” Her knees went weak and she dropped onto the ground, looking at Huo Buyu with tears in her eyes.

At this point came the sound of glass shattering behind them. Huo Buyu and Qin Jiao looked up at the same time and saw Ye Yao leaning against the door with a faint smirk on her face. There were shards of broken glass under her feet.

Ye Yao really didn’t break the drinking glass on purpose, she had a scare. From inside the room, she had heard some sounds and walked out curiously to take a look. The moment she did so, she saw the scene of Qin Jiao kneeling on the ground. Qin Jiao had always given Ye Yao the impression that she was high and mighty, like a proud little peacock. Hence to see her kneeling before Huo Buyu completely took Ye Yao by surprise! This really frightened Ye Yao!

When Huo Buyu saw that Ye Yao had come out, his first reaction was to frown. The moment Qin Jiao saw Ye Yao, she screamed loudly, “Ye Yao!” She had a crazed look in her eyes! Ye Yao was in her home pajamas and her hair was unkempt, as if she had just gotten out of bed. To appear in Huo Buyu’s house like this…

Qin Jiao instantly thought of Huo Buyu’s WeChat Moments. So the “cutie” referred to by Huo Buyu was Ye Yao?! Qin Jiao couldn’t accept it! Huo Buyu could have anyone as a girlfriend, except Ye Yao!

Huo Buyu looked at Ye Yao and asked again, “Do you know Qin Jiao?”

Ye Yao shrugged. “Who doesn’t know the eldest daughter of the Qin family?” Of course, it was because she had a grudge against Qin Jiao, that it bothered her so much that this girl was Huo Buyu’s ex-girlfriend! Therefore, at the realization that Qin Jiao and Huo Buyu used to be together, she decisively blocked and deleted Qin Jiao from the man’s contact list!

Ye Yao stepped over the shards of glass and went up to Huo Buyu to hold his arm affectionately. She smiled at Qin Jiao and said, “I’m sorry, but Huo Buyu is my boyfriend now.” With that, she looked at Huo Buyu and pinched his arm hard. “Huo Buyu, I’m your current girlfriend. I’m the only one in your eyes. If I find out that you’re flirting with other women, don’t blame me for what I’d do!”

Huo Buyu said, “Do you think I’d have the energy to seduce other women when I’m with you?”

Putting aside the fact that Huo Buyu disdained cheating, he had only realized how troublesome women were, after being together with Ye Yao. Ye Yao alone was a handful for him. If another one came along, he’d probably be left with no time to eat.
