Gao Qiao hurriedly apologized. “I was wrong, I was wrong. I was blind. Don’t blame me, and don’t curse me.” The last sentence was what Gao Qiao was thinking. Being jinxed was too scary. He could turn into a dog just by her saying a few words. He didn’t want to turn into a dog, let alone bark in public. After the song ended, Huo Buyu and Ye Yao gave each other an elegant ending bow. Then, Ye Yao said to Huo Buyu, “I’m thirsty. I’ll go get a drink.” With that, she turned around and left.
Initially, Gao Qiao had wanted to offer to get it for Ye Yao, but she was swift and decisive, it gave him no chance to ask. In just two minutes, music started to play again in the banquet hall, and people invited new dance partners to the dance floor.
Gao Qiao and Huo Buyu stood at the side, waiting for Ye Yao to return.
“Mr. Huo, may I invite you to a dance?” A sweet voice sounded.
Gao Qiao’s scalp tightened. Instinctively, he wanted to help Ye Yao protect Huo Buyu from other women. However, before he could speak, Huo Buyu answered coldly, “No.” His attitude was firm and his tone was cold. He didn’t even glance at the girl.
Gao Qiao clicked his tongue silently and marveled at Huo Buyu’s strong survival instinct. He felt that Huo Buyu knew Ye Yao’s ability and didn’t dare to mess around with other girls. Hence, he even rejected the girl’s invitation to dance. Of course, at this point Gao Qiao had naturally ignored the fact that in the past, before Huo Buyu was in a relationship with Ye Yao, he would similarly reject women’s invitations to dance, let alone now that he had a girlfriend.
Gao Qiao looked at the girl who had invited Huo Buyu and suddenly felt that she looked a little familiar. Out of habit, he glanced at the girl’s legs. Oh, her knees were bruised! To have injured herself to this extent… wasn’t this Xiang Jingtian’s ex-girlfriend, who had been begging on her knees?
Gao Qiao was stunned. What was wrong with girls nowadays? She was pestering Xiang Jingtian just then. How did her target become Huo Buyu? This girl was quite bold!
Given Huo Buyu’s status in the capital, to be honest, he was a clean and decent man. He would coldly reject women who threw themselves at him. After a while, everyone knew that he had no special affection for women. Huo Buyu’s status alone was enough to intimidate. The fact that he had no special love for women made him unapproachable. But now, he was being approached by such a bold woman?
Chen Qiuqiu bit her lip. On her way here, she had been looking at herself in the mirror for a long time. Her makeup was beautifully done today, and her temperament was very good. There were also several men who asked for her contact details. Moreover, she thought that she was much better-looking than Ye Yao! There was no reason for Huo Buyu to be willing to dance with Ye Yao and not with her! But now, she had been rejected by Huo Buyu. She felt very embarrassed because Huo Buyu’s rejection meant that she was inferior to Ye Yao! No, she didn’t accept it. How could she be inferior to Ye Yao!
Chen Qiuqiu bore a faint smile. “Mr. Huo, I’ve admired you for a long time. I just want to dance with you. Aren’t you going to do me the honor?
Huo Buyu’s expression was icy. His gaze didn’t linger on Chen Qiuqiu’s face for a moment. “I won’t do you the honor.”
Gao Qiao laughed and said to Chen Qiuqiu, “Miss, Huo Buyu said he’s unwilling. He probably isn’t in the mood to dance today. You can tell, right?”
Of course Chen Qiuqiu could tell! Every cell in Huo Buyu’s body was rejecting her! He wasn’t even willing to look at her!
Initially, Chen Qiuqiu didn’t dare to have any designs on a big figure like Huo Buyu, but she witnessed with her own eyes that even a mediocre person like Ye Yao managed to get Huo Buyu’s autograph. She even hugged the man and danced with him.
Chen Qiuqiu started to think that everything she had heard about this man may not be true. Perhaps he was actually a very gentle person who treated girls with courtesy, otherwise he would have rejected Ye Yao. But he didn’t…
Hence Chen Qiuqiu was able to muster the courage to invite Huo Buyu for a dance. As long as the man agreed to dance with her, she would do her best to attract his attention and make him fall in love with her. Once she became an item with him, that would be the time she took her revenge on Xiang Jingtian! In the past, Xiang Jingtian and her were so close and in love, but just because of a mis-step she took, he wouldn’t even give her a chance to turn things around, and even allow Ye Yao to insult her.. She hated him to the core!
