Ye Sui argued, âYouâre 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?â
It didnât 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 otherâs shortcomings and revealed each otherâs dirty deeds.
âYe Yao.â 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 Buyuâs expression was gloomy, but that did not diminish his good looks. Gao Qiao, on the other hand, was smiling like a flower.
Although Ye Yaoâs 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 Yaoâs side. âI heard that you had been sent by your instructor to buy drinks? I was worried that it would be too heavy for you, so Iâm here to help. Howâs that for being a loyal friend?â
Ye Yao rolled her eyes. âIâve told you to stay away from me.â
Gao Qiao said, âWhatâs the matter? You just said yesterday that we can be good friends, but now youâre telling me to stay away. Are you going to fall out with me so quickly?â
Ye Yao spread her hands. âI have no choice. Someone saw us having a meal together two days ago. Now, sheâs telling all our classmates that youâre my sugar daddy. She says that Iâm a hypocrite. Such gossip is heartbreaking. So for more comfortable days ahead, I can only keep a distance from you.â With that, she pointed at Ye Sui beside her.
After hearing Ye Yaoâs words, Gao Qiao immediately turned to look at Huo Buyu. Damn. Someone was actually spreading rumors that he was Ye Yaoâs sugar daddy. Wasnât this going to give him an early death? Then, he followed Ye Yaoâs gaze and looked at Ye Sui. Gao Qiao instantly flew into a rage. âAre you mentally ill? Which eye of yours saw that I was Ye Yaoâs sugar daddy? Ye Yao and I are good friends. If I hear you spouting nonsense outside again, Iâll kill you!â Then, Gao Qiao raised her voice and explained to the surrounding students, âEveryone, donât listen to this crazy womanâs nonsense. Ye Yao and I are just friends. Our relationship doesnât go beyond that of friends. So, I donât want to hear others spreading rumors about Ye Yao and me.â
Gao Qiao could appear rather intimidating when he wore a gloomy expression. Moreover, with his status and pride, he wouldnât hide it if he really had something to do with Ye Yao. If he said he didnât, it was most likely the truth.
The students looked at each other. Ye Sui had just claimed that Ye Yao was Gao Qiaoâs kept woman, and Gao Qiao had stepped forward to clarify. In this situation⦠Even if Gao Qiao and Ye Yao werenât in a relationship or physical relationship, they were at least good friends!
Lin Qingning was the first to speak. âYe Sui, you were obviously speaking on a personal whim. You saw Ye Yao eating with Gao Qiao and claimed that Ye Yao is Gao Qiaoâs kept woman. Isnât your mind just too filthy.â
Immediately, everyone started criticizing Ye Sui. Ye Sui was stunned. She subconsciously believed Gao Qiaoâs 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. âLook, Iâve helped you resolve a big problem the moment I arrived. You canât cut ties with me.â
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 Qingningâs blushed. She looked at Huo Buyu, who was standing behind them, and whispered, âSenior Huo Buyu is so good-looking. He must have a girlfriend, right?â
Ye Yaoâs expression changed. Was someone trying to poach her man?
Noticing the change in Ye Yaoâs expression, Gao Qiao hurriedly inserted himself between Lin Qingning and Huo Buyu , saying to Lin Qingning, âYes, Huo Buyu does have a girlfriend. He loves his girlfriend very much. Stay away from him.â
Lin Qingning looked a little embarrassed and explained, âI was just asking out of curiosity. I donât have any other intentions.â
Gao Qiao nodded. âItâs best that you donât â now or in the future. Huo Buyu can only belong to his girlfriend.â With that, he waved at Ye Yao. âLetâs go. Iâll help you carry the drinks..â
