The onlookers were amazed as well at Ye Yao’s unbelievably good luck. Since she took her seat, she was almost the only one who had been winning.
Mahjong is about the cards one has on hand. When lady luck visits, one will win no matter what. Previously, it was Xu Zhicheng who was dealt a good hand repeatedly, and now it was Ye Yao. The three other players at the table were so completely defeated by Ye Yao and they were on the verge of tears.
However, Ye Yao knew where to draw the line, so she stood up and said to Gao
Qiao, “Take over from me. I’m done playing. I have to go home early.”
Gao Qiao also felt that this was enough. Besides, Huo Buyu was next to him and kept looking at him with a sinister gaze, it was making him nervous!
Ye Yao stood up and went to the side to look for water to quench her thirst. The impression the people here had of Ye Yao was that she was lucky. Her luck today was also very good, and she was very skilled at playing billiards.
After Gao Qiao played for a while, Xu Zhicheng’s luck returned. The others started to win games, but Gao Qiao was as unlucky as before. Xu Zhicheng started to show off again. It was only when Gao Qiao lost half of Ye Yao’s winnings again that he showed his hand and gave up. He went up to Ye Yao and said, “It’s over. I won the money. Let’s go. I’ll treat you and Huo Buyu to a meal!”
Ye Yao nodded. “Sure, we were waiting for you.” Hence, she left with the two men. The three of them were like an iron triangle. After Ye Yao had finished playing mahjong earlier on, she had gone to sit by the side to play with her phone. Although Huo Buyu was not right next to her, he wasn’t too far from her, but they didn’t look like they were together. Ye Yao felt that she had been in the limelight too much tonight, and Huo Buyu must be unhappy, so she didn’t dare to provoke the man.
Actually, Huo Buyu had been contemplating and wasn’t really paying attention to Ye Yao.
After getting into the car, Huo Buyu drove while Ye Yao sat in the front passenger seat. Gao Qiao, who was sitting in the back, felt that the atmosphere between the couple wasn’t quite right, so he asked Ye Yao softly, “Did you make Huo Buyu angry again?
“When have I not made him angry?” Ye Yao rolled her eyes. “Maybe I’ve been in the limelight too much today and he’s getting angry again.”
Gao Qiao didn’t know about the billiards incident and thought that it was only about the mahjong incident. He immediately felt a little guilty. “Huo Buyu won’t hit you, right?”
Ye Yao said, “Don’t worry, he can’t bear to.”
Huo Buyu wanted to roll his eyes. Don’t these two people know how to talk behind his back? Also, Ye Yao had said that he “couldn’t bear to” hit her. Although that was true, she was embarrassing him by saying this!
Huo Buyu asked, “What are we going to eat?”
Ye Yao suggested, “It’s late night. Let’s go eat barbecue. I know of a barbecue shop just down the road, around the corner on the left.”
Huo Buyu asked Gao Qiao, “What about you? Do you feel like having barbecue?”
Gao Qiao said, “I’ll go with whatever Ye Yao wants!”
Huo Buyu pursed his lips. “You’ll have no bright future.”
Unexpectedly, Gao Qiao shot back, “Can one eat a bright future like barbecue meat?”
Gao Qiao’s reply made Huo Buyu instantly want to throw Gao Qiao out of the car. Such a good-for-nothing and so arrogant. So uniquely Gao Qiao!
Soon, they arrived at the barbecue shop. Ye Yao volunteered, “1 know what’s delicious. Take a seat. I’ll order!”
Gao Qiao instinctively wanted to follow her, but Huo Buyu held him back. Gao Qiao felt a chill down her spine It’s over, it’s over. There will be scores to settle later!
Gao Qiao immediately raised his hands. “Huo Buyu, I know I was wrong. I
know you don’t like Ye Yao being in the limelight. I couldn’t hold it in today. It’s my fault. I promise you that I’ll keep Ye Yao hidden in the future and not let anyone see her.”
When Huo Buyu saw Gao Qiao’s cowardly look) he was in a daze for a moment. He looked… like Ye Yao! It seemed that ever since Gao Qiao started hanging out with Ye Yao, he had learned all the tricks that Ye Yao used to fool others!
Huo Buyu said coldly, “I’m not going to settle the score with you today. I’ve got something else to ask you.”
Gao Qiao’s voice trembled. ” What else is there?”
Huo Buyu continued, “Back then, how did you sense that there was something different about Ye Yao and know that she had an ability in the Verbal Virtuosity technique?
Gao Qiao blurted out almost immediately, “For goodness’ sake, how would I know that Ye Yao was skilled in the Verbal Virtuosity technique? I’m not a god and I don’t know how to read minds. Although I encountered a few strange things when I was with her, I didn’t think in a fantasy-like way at all, okay? It’s mainly because of you. You kept Ye Yao from talking and acted so mysteriously, as if you wanted to hide her. You were so careful and I felt that Ye Yao must have a secret.. After observing her a few times, I realized!”
