Chapter 157: No Need To Be So Worried

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Just like tonight, in the eyes of others, everything Ye Yao did was just luck.

Apart from that, no one would think about the Verbal Virtuosity technique. After all, what was the big deal about playing mahjong? How could it be related to magic?

After hearing Gao Qiao’s words, Huo Buyu’s expression instantly turned ugly. So, if he hadn’t been so suspicious and made a fuss, Gao Qiao wouldn’t have discovered Ye Yao’s ability?

Gao Qiao seemed to have seen through Huo Buyu’s thoughts. He patted Huo Buyu’s shoulder and said solemnly, “Huo Buyu, I know that you’re taking care of Ye Yao for her own good, but to be honest, based on my understanding of Ye Yao during this period of time, she’s not a bad person by nature, and she won’t use her ability recklessly. Besides, she must have obtained this ability not long ago. She’s just curious and wants to put her skill to the test. It’s really not strange for her to lay a few curses occasionally.” Like the last time, Ye Yao casually said that Gao Qiao’s shop would close down, and that indeed happened. He didn’t blame Ye Yao at all, because sometimes, people would simply speak before they think. Moreover, the end effect of Ye Yao’s words was not consistent. She wasn’t even sure what the end result would be.

Huo Buyu had always been worried that if Ye Yao’s ability was discovered by others, someone would harm her or she would face all kinds of dangers in her future life. He admitted that he truly cared about Ye Yao. Sometimes, he would even lose sleep over it! However, he had never expected that being so careful would only serve to attract more attention to Ye Yao, harming her instead!

As an outsider, Gao Qiao saw things much more clearly than Huo Buyu. He said, “Actually, there’s no need to be so worried. If you continually restrain Ye Yao, she will only get more confused about whether she should exercise her ability. Most of the time, she uses her skill to protect herself. I can tell that the two of you care a lot about each other, but you don’t know how to get along and in the process create tension.”

Gao Qiao felt that it was only Ye Yao who had a big enough heart. Had it been any other young lady, Huo Buyu would have become history, being such a meddlesome boyfriend! Ye Yao was a good person. Even though she was someone who valued and enjoyed having freedom, she accommodated Huo Buyu’s stubbornness and domineering personality. She was even willing to be controlled by Huo Buyu. If this wasn’t true love, what was?

Huo Buyu contemplated Gao Qiao’s words and felt that Gao Qiao was right. But he also felt that it was right for him to keep watch over Ye Yao. Of course, the prerequisite was that he didn’t have to be so nervous and feel as if he was walking on thin ice. He had observed everyone tonight. From their expressions, he saw that they had no suspicions about Ye Yao. As long as Huo Buyu saw that, he understood. This was the era of technology and people no longer believed in supernatural powers, so no one suspected Ye Yao of having a supernatural ability. There was no need for him to be so uptight.

At this thought, Huo Buyu had clarity for himself. He smiled at Gao Qiao.

“Alright, let’s go and eat.”

For a barbecue meal, it was naturally more interesting to eat by the roadside. Ye Yao ordered a lot of delicious food and two bottles of wine. Huo Buyu reminded them, “We have to drive later. Let’s not drink today.”

Gao Qiao immediately retorted, “You just said that you didn’t want to drive. This is a rare opportunity. Let’s have a drink together and call for a valet later.”

Ye Yao poured a glass of wine for herself and one for Huo Buyu. As for Gao Qiao, she gave him a bottle. “Come, come, come. Try it. These mutton skewers are delicious!”

Gao Qiao and Huo Buyu had never eaten at roadside stalls. Gao Qiao would normally go to bars. As for Huo Buyu, he was a very disciplined person. He would even keep an eye on Ye Yao’s meals and take the initiative to make sure they are nutritionally balanced. Barbecue meals were not for him.

However, now that Huo Buyu wanted to change the way he managed Ye Yao, he went along with Ye Yao’s wishes and called a valet. The three of them ate and drank together. The atmosphere was lively and happy. Gao Qiao accidentally drank too much.

Ye Yao could hold her liquor well, but she felt that this was a good opportunity to act silly. Hence, as soon as she got home, she smiled foolishly at Huo Buyu. But of course, she was good-looking and looked silly on the sofa. It was too adorable.

Huo Buyu couldn’t help reaching out to hold Ye Yao’s face.. He kissed it and said, “Little cutie, did you drink too much?”
