Chapter 48: He Has a Girlfriend
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Ye Sui argued, “You’re not a decent person to begin with. You like to seduce men and stop in your tracks whenever a man is nearby. How can a person like you simply have a meal with Gao Qiao? You want to get close to Gao Qiao, right?”
It didn’t take an intelligent person to be able to tell that Ye Yao and Ye Sui probably knew each other. Not only did they know each other, they had bad blood between them. They started to expose each other’s shortcomings and revealed each other’s dirty deeds.
“Ye Yao.” A male voice behind them spoke briskly. Then, everyone turned around and saw a very eye-catching scene. Huo Buyu and Gao Qiao, two tall and well-built men, were approaching. Huo Buyu’s expression was gloomy, but that did not diminish his good looks. Gao Qiao, on the other hand, was smiling like a flower.
Although Ye Yao’s classmates were all freshmen, they had some idea of the influential figures in the imperial capital. Huo Buyu was the number one person in the imperial capital, while Gao Qiao came a close second. The sight of the two of them together stunned the classmates. Lin Qingning covered her mouth, star-struck. She had come into close contact with two male idols! She had seen two male idols on her first day of school! With this sort of luck, she should buy a lottery ticket!
Gao Qiao came to Ye Yao’s side. “I heard that you had been sent by your instructor to buy drinks? I was worried that it would be too heavy for you, so I’m here to help. How’s that for being a loyal friend?”
Ye Yao rolled her eyes. “I’ve told you to stay away from me.”
Gao Qiao said, “What’s the matter? You just said yesterday that we can be good friends, but now you’re telling me to stay away. Are you going to fall out with me so quickly?”
Ye Yao spread her hands. “I have no choice. Someone saw us having a meal together two days ago. Now, she’s telling all our classmates that you’re my sugar daddy. She says that I’m a hypocrite. Such gossip is heartbreaking. So for more comfortable days ahead, I can only keep a distance from you.” With that, she pointed at Ye Sui beside her.
After hearing Ye Yao’s words, Gao Qiao immediately turned to look at Huo Buyu. Damn. Someone was actually spreading rumors that he was Ye Yao’s sugar daddy. Wasn’t this going to give him an early death? Then, he followed Ye Yao’s gaze and looked at Ye Sui. Gao Qiao instantly flew into a rage. “Are you mentally ill? Which eye of yours saw that I was Ye Yao’s sugar daddy? Ye Yao and I are good friends. If I hear you spouting nonsense outside again, I’ll kill you!” Then, Gao Qiao raised her voice and explained to the surrounding students, “Everyone, don’t listen to this crazy woman’s nonsense. Ye Yao and I are just friends. Our relationship doesn’t go beyond that of friends. So, I don’t want to hear others spreading rumors about Ye Yao and me.”
Gao Qiao could appear rather intimidating when he wore a gloomy expression. Moreover, with his status and pride, he wouldn’t hide it if he really had something to do with Ye Yao. If he said he didn’t, it was most likely the truth.
The students looked at each other. Ye Sui had just claimed that Ye Yao was Gao Qiao’s kept woman, and Gao Qiao had stepped forward to clarify. In this situation… Even if Gao Qiao and Ye Yao weren’t in a relationship or physical relationship, they were at least good friends!
Lin Qingning was the first to speak. “Ye Sui, you were obviously speaking on a personal whim. You saw Ye Yao eating with Gao Qiao and claimed that Ye Yao is Gao Qiao’s kept woman. Isn’t your mind just too filthy.”
Immediately, everyone started criticizing Ye Sui. Ye Sui was stunned. She subconsciously believed Gao Qiao’s words, but she never expected that Gao Qiao and Ye Yao were just friends. Seeing that everyone was pointing at her and looking at her with disdain, Ye Sui felt ashamed. She stomped her feet and ran off.
Seeing that Ye Sui had left, Gao Qiao asked Ye Yao for credit. “Look, I’ve helped you resolve a big problem the moment I arrived. You can’t cut ties with me.”
Now, it was plain for all to see, Gao Qiao had taken the initiative to be good friends with Ye Yao. Although, no one knew what ability Ye Yao had that made Gao Qiao seek her friendship, it did not stop them from looking at Ye Yao in amazement.
Lin Qingning’s blushed. She looked at Huo Buyu, who was standing behind them, and whispered, “Senior Huo Buyu is so good-looking. He must have a girlfriend, right?”
Ye Yao’s expression changed. Was someone trying to poach her man?
Noticing the change in Ye Yao’s expression, Gao Qiao hurriedly inserted himself between Lin Qingning and Huo Buyu , saying to Lin Qingning, “Yes, Huo Buyu does have a girlfriend. He loves his girlfriend very much. Stay away from him.’
Lin Qingning looked a little embarrassed and explained, “I was just asking out of curiosity. I don’t have any other intentions.”
Gao Qiao nodded. “It’s best that you don’t – now or in the future. Huo Buyu can only belong to his girlfriend.” With that, he waved at Ye Yao. “Let’s go. I’ll help you carry the drinks..”
