“Don’t be like that. Have I treated you well these few days? You only need to say if I have, okay? Just do me a small favor. Moreover, Zhou Chen is such a pest. I
promise that from now on, as long as I’m around, I’ll definitely not let him have the chance to pester you.” Gao Qiao played the emotional card.
Ye Yao snorted. “What is this? Blackmailing?”
“How is that possible!” Gao Qiao exclaimed. “It’s my honor to work for you. This is not a threat, nor is it a deal. This is my request to you. I hope Your Majesty will take pity on me.” Gao Qiao’s attitude was very obsequious. When he saw Ye
Yao’s expression soften, he smiled and cupped his hands. “Let’s go. Great Aunt, do me the great honor of eating with you?”
Gao Qiao said he had ordered fish and prawns, but when Ye Yao went over, what she saw was simply a full-blown feast! She raised an eyebrow and looked at Gao Qiao. “Tell me, what sort of favor do you want from me?
Gao Qiao laughed. “What are you thinking? I just wanted you to eat something delicious.”
Ye Yao shook her head. “Gao Qiao, if you’re not going to say it, don’t blame me for not doing my part after I’ve eaten all this.”
Gao Qiao scratched his head and chuckled. “Don’t worry, it’s a small matter. I just need you to exercise your ability.”
Ye Yao replied, “Do you think I don’t know that? The question is, what exactly do you want me to jinx?
Gao Qiao did not want to keep her in suspense and replied, “I’ve been trying to compete for a project recently, but the opponent is very strong. I want you to jinx him so that he doesn’t win the bid.” As long as the other party didn’t win the bid, the project would go to him.
Ye Yao frowned. “How much money are you able to earn from this project?”
Gao Qiao did not hesitate. “Lots and lots of money.”
Ye Yao’s eyes lit up. “Will you share it with me after it’s done?”
“Stop fooling around,” Gao Qiao said slyly. “It’s not a problem for me to give you a share of the money. The key is that you’re Huo Buyu’s girlfriend. If I give you money, Huo Buyu will beat me to death. Don’t worry. Although I’m not going to give you any money, you only need to give me a call whenever you’re in need. I’ll be right there.”
It wasn’t that Gao Qiao couldn’t bear to part with the money. The last time he went on a blind date with Ye Yao, he had bought a bag for her. Later, Huo Buyu had returned all the money to him. To Huo Buyu and Gao Qiao, the cost of a bag was loose change. The key was Huo Buyu’s attitude. The man was of the view that his woman could only spend his money, and no one else’s. Hence Gao Qiao did not dare to give Ye Yao money.
Ye Yao thought about it and felt that Gao Qiao was right. Besides, Gao Qiao indeed treated her well. Since it was just a favor, she made an “okay” gesture and agreed, “Alright, I’ll help you with this.”
Gao Qiao immediately cheered. “I’ll pick you up after the military training ends tonight then. An hour would be enough. I promise I won’t waste your time.”
Ye Yao smiled. ��I’ll have to tell Huo Buyu first. Otherwise, if he finds out later, he’ll either kill you or me.”
Gao Qiao was stunned for a moment. Afraid that he’d be stood up, he pulled Ye Yao back and said, “You’ve already promised me. If Huo Buyu doesn’t let you go, you have to think of a way to go, understand?”
Ye Yao nodded. “Don’t worry, I can handle Huo Buyu.” It was too easy to deal with Huo Buyu. She had many tricks up her sleeve.
“Now that the matter is resolved, can I eat?”
“Go ahead. If it’s not enough, I’ll order more,” the man said.
After dinner, Ye Yao stepped out to call Huo Buyu. She told him quite directly, “Gao Qiao asked me to do him a favor and attend a bidding event. I’ve agreed.”
Huo Buyu immediately knew what Gao Qiao was up to and said, “You’re not allowed to go.”
“But I’ve already promised him.” “I’ll help you to reject him.”
“But I want to go too.”
Huo Buyu was adamant. “No.”
Ye Yao got angry. “But I’ve already agreed! I’m only informing you now. You’re not allowed to reject me. Otherwise, I’ll be upset. And when I’m upset, I can’t stand to see others happy, so I’d want to upset other people too.” If she was unhappy, she would want to create chaos, the kind of chaos that she couldn’t control.
Huo Buyu was speechless. Was this a threat? A blatant threat.
He said, “Then send me the address. I’ll go with you.”
“Okay, love you.”
After the military training ended at night, Gao Qiao came to pick Ye Yao up. Huo Buyu was in a meeting and would meet up with Ye Yao after that.
Ye Yao got into Gao Qiao’s car in plain sight of many people in the school. Zhou Chen, who was following closely behind, saw it clearly. Ye Sui went forward and clung on to Zhou Chen’s arm, sneering in disdain. “Ye Yao is just a woman who clings to the rich and powerful. She even told me that she and Gao Qiao are ordinary friends and have an innocent relationship.. Pfft! They probably had slept with each other long ago!’
