The onlookers were amazed as well at Ye Yaoâs 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, âTake over from me. Iâm done playing. I have to go home early.â
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 Zhichengâs 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 Yaoâs winnings again that he showed his hand and gave up. He went up to Ye Yao and said, âItâs over. I won the money. Letâs go. Iâll treat you and Huo Buyu to a meal!â
Ye Yao nodded. âSure, we were waiting for you.â 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 wasnât too far from her, but they didnât 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 didnât dare to provoke the man.
Actually, Huo Buyu had been contemplating and wasnât 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 wasnât quite right, so he asked Ye Yao softly, âDid you make Huo Buyu angry again?
âWhen have I not made him angry?â Ye Yao rolled her eyes. âMaybe Iâve been in the limelight too much today and heâs getting angry again.â
Gao Qiao didnât know about the billiards incident and thought that it was only about the mahjong incident. He immediately felt a little guilty. âHuo Buyu wonât hit you, right?â
Ye Yao said, âDonât worry, he canât bear to.â
Huo Buyu wanted to roll his eyes. Donât these two people know how to talk behind his back? Also, Ye Yao had said that he âcouldnât bear toâ hit her. Although that was true, she was embarrassing him by saying this!
Huo Buyu asked, âWhat are we going to eat?â
Ye Yao suggested, âItâs late night. Letâs go eat barbecue. I know of a barbecue shop just down the road, around the corner on the left.â
Huo Buyu asked Gao Qiao, âWhat about you? Do you feel like having barbecue?â
Gao Qiao said, âIâll go with whatever Ye Yao wants!â
Huo Buyu pursed his lips. âYouâll have no bright future.â
Unexpectedly, Gao Qiao shot back, âCan one eat a bright future like barbecue meat?â
Gao Qiaoâs 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, â1 know whatâs delicious. Take a seat. Iâll order!â
Gao Qiao instinctively wanted to follow her, but Huo Buyu held him back. Gao Qiao felt a chill down her spine Itâs over, itâs over. There will be scores to settle later!
Gao Qiao immediately raised his hands. âHuo Buyu, I know I was wrong. I
know you donât like Ye Yao being in the limelight. I couldnât hold it in today. Itâs my fault. I promise you that Iâll keep Ye Yao hidden in the future and not let anyone see her.â
When Huo Buyu saw Gao Qiaoâs 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, âIâm not going to settle the score with you today. Iâve got something else to ask you.â
Gao Qiaoâs voice trembled. â What else is there?â
Huo Buyu continued, âBack 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, âFor goodnessâ sake, how would I know that Ye Yao was skilled in the Verbal Virtuosity technique? Iâm not a god and I donât know how to read minds. Although I encountered a few strange things when I was with her, I didnât think in a fantasy-like way at all, okay? Itâs 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!â
