Jiang Yun smiled. “Alright, lees wait and see.” She did not take Ye Yao’s words to heart at all. In her eyes, Ye Yao was not her match.
Soon, the elevator arrived. When the two of them walked out together, those who didn’t know better would think that they were good friends.
Huo Buyu happened to be walking towards the landing. When he saw Ye Yao, he naturally revealed a doting smile. He stroked Ye Yao’s hair. “Why did you come up here? Impatient from waiting? Where would you like to eat? I’ll take you.”
Ye Yao held Huo Buyu’s arm and leaned her head on his shoulder. “I wish I could eat with you too, but Miss Jiang Yun is here. It seems she’s inviting you to some concert. Are you going?
Only then did Huo Buyu see Jiang Yun standing by the side. Jiang Yun acted as though she did not notice Ye Yao’s intimate actions towards Huo Buyu. She naturally handed the ticket to Huo Buyu. “I’m here to give you this.”
Huo Buyu glanced at the tickets and then at Ye Yao’s expressionless face. He shook his head. “I won’t be going. She’s hungry. I’ll take her out to have something to eat.”
Jiang Yun watched as Ye Yao flaunted her affections in front of her. Not only was she not jealous, she also silently sneered. If Ye Yao was really so confident in Huo Buyu, she wouldn’t have deliberately flaunted her affections to provoke her. To put it bluntly, Ye Yao wasn’t confident in herself. However, Jiang Yun didn’t know that Ye Yao wasn’t deliberately flaunting her affections. This was how she naturally interacted with the man.
Jiang Yun wasn’t upset that Huo Buyu had rejected her. She simply put away the tickets. “Alright then.” But at this point, Ye Yao reached out and took the tickets. “Don’t, Huo Buyu. Your sister asked Miss Jiang Yun to send these over. You have to go.”
Huo Buyu hesitated. No matter who gave him the tickets, filling Ye Yao’s stomach was the most important thing on his mind. Ye Yao could tell what Huo Buyu was thinking, so she held his arm and wheedled. “I’m not hungry yet. I’m very curious about the concert. Can you bring me along?
Huo Buyu was a little surprised. “You want to go to a concert?” Based on Huo Buyu’s understanding of Ye Yao, she wasn’t interested in such things. Now that she suddenly wanted to go, she might be up to something.
Ye Yao nodded. “Yes, yes, yes. I want to go. Won’t you take me?
Huo Buyu couldn’t resist Ye Yao’s coquettishness at all. He clearly was reluctant and didn’t wish to bring Ye Yao to a crowded place, but couldn’t bring himself to reject her. In the end, he could only nod. “Alright, I’ll take you, but you have to promise me…”
Ye Yao immediately raised her hand. “I promise I’ll be good!”
Seeing that she was so excited, Huo Buyu held his forehead helplessly and said to Jiang Yun, “Thank you for coming by. I’ll bring Ye Yao over later. See you at the venue.”
Jiang Yun had watched as Huo Buyu went from being unwilling to go to being coquettishly persuaded by Ye Yao. Although Huo Buyu looked very unwilling, he didn’t refuse. His lack of a bottom line made Jiang Yun feel a rare sense of crisis. This was because Huo Buyu treated Ye Yao too differently. A girl like Ye Yao wasn’t Huo Buyu’s type at all, and she wasn’t worthy of Huo Buyu’s family background. However, Huo Buyu’s attitude towards her… was too indulgent. He was so indulgent that he had no bottom line.
The three of them went downstairs together. Jiang Yun walked in front while Ye Yao followed behind with Huo Buyu. When they reached the lobby downstairs, Jiang Yun stopped and said to the girl at the front desk, “Wait for me. I’ll get you some lipstick.”
“Miss Jiang Yuri…” The receptionist was very touched. She thought that Jiang Yun had forgotten, but to her surprise she remembered. Miss Jiang Yun was so concerned about a small fry like her, unlike Ye Yao, who only had CEO Huo at heart and would deliberately display her affections.
Jiang Yun said to Huo Buyu, “You guys go ahead. I have something to attend to.”
Huo Buyu wanted to bring Ye Yao to buy some clothes. The occasion today was different, so they couldn’t dress too casually. He nodded at Jiang Yun. “Stay safe.” Then, he lowered his head and tapped Ye Yao’s forehead. “Be good today
and don’t cause trouble.”
Ye Yao replied, “I know, I know.”
After Huo Buyu and Ye Yao left, Jiang Yun’s usually calm expression was filled with great disappointment. She stared in the direction where Huo Buyu and Ye Yao had left) her eyes misty.
This scene was witnessed by the receptionist. Jiang Yun’s disappointment only lasted for a moment before she quickly recovered. She turned to the receptionist and smiled. Her entire being was beautiful and illusory, like the clouds in the sky. She could only be seen but not touched..
