Chapter 7
Public Display of Affection Causes Quick Death
Ye Yao did not go back to her video game after taking Huo Buyu’s phone. Instead, she browsed randomly. She even went into his WeChat account and realized that his WeChat Moments was empty. Hence, she grabbed the man’s hand and took a photograph of the two of them holding hands. She posted the image on his WeChat Moments with the caption “My little cutie!”
Almost instantly, more than 30 comments appeared:
Gao Qiao: [Am I seeing things? The young master of the Lu family is actually showing off his love?]
Shao Xiao: [Hurry up and register me at an ophthalmologist’s clinic. I must have gone blind. I need a doctor! If there’s nothing wrong with my eye, then Huo Buyu’s account must have been hacked!]
Xu Zhicheng: [I’m totally defeated. The crown prince is indeed the crown prince!]
Qin Jiao: [No, I don’t believe this is real!]
Huo Buran: [Awesome, Little Brother! When did you get yourself a girlfriend? Bring her for a visit.]
…
Finally, someone by the name of Huo Buqi posted a “like” on it.
Ye Yao blinked in confusion and realized after a while, that she seemed to have gotten into trouble? This last post from the person named Huo Buqi… If her memory served her, Huo Buyu had an elder brother who was the youngest president, and whose name seemed to be Huo Buqi?!
Ye Yao shuddered in fear and scrambled to delete this impulsive post on his Moments when Huo Buyu’s phone suddenly rang. It was a message from Qin Jiao: [I was wrong. It was my fault and I was in the wrong. I apologize to you. I just love you too much and care about you too much. Don’t treat me like this, okay? I swear that I will love you and only you.]
Ye Yao read every word of the message and then raised the phone up towards Huo Buyu. “Qin Jiao is actually your ex-girlfriend?!” She was so infuriated that her lungs almost exploded! She didn’t expect Huo Buyu to be so tasteless in the past!
Seeing how angry she was, Huo Buyu asked curiously, “Do you have a grudge against Qin Jiao?”
Ye Yao slammed the table. “Answer my question first!”
Huo Buyu replied, “Haven’t you already guessed it?” Qin Jiao was indeed his ex-girlfriend.
Ye Yao turned around and started to walk out. “Scumbag, I want to go home! I don’t wish to see you!” She was infuriated now. Qin Jiao was actually Huo Buyu’s ex-girlfriend, and she was Huo Buyu’s current girlfriend. Didn’t that mean she was picking up Qin Jiao’s leftovers? She couldn’t accept it!
Huo Buyu was completely stunned. He was a scumbag just because he had an ex-girlfriend? Wasn’t it normal to have an ex? Didn’t she have an ex-fiancé too? He hadn’t cheated on her during their relationship. How did that make him a scumbag?
“Ye Yao, stop right there. Explain to me. How am I a scumbag.” Huo Buyu was getting very angry as well. Unfortunately, Ye Yao continued walking away angrily and ignored him!
As soon as they got home, Ye Yao headed straight into the bedroom and locked the door. Huo Buyu couldn’t enter, so he could only keep knocking. “Ye Yao, open the door. Make yourself clear!”
Ye Yao covered her ears. She didn’t want to listen to bullsh*t!
At this point, a woman’s voice was heard coming from the front door. “Huo Buyu! Buyu!”
Huo Buyu frowned. He still had no idea why Ye Yao was angry, but the culprit who had angered Ye Yao, Qin Jiao, had just turned up.
As soon as Huo Buyu opened the door, Qin Jiao pounced on him with tears streaming down her face. “Buyu, why did you block my WeChat account and delete it? Do you know that made me very sad? I swear that I won’t do it again and won’t test you with another man. I was with that man for the sole purpose of provoking you. I have nothing to do with him at all. Please believe me, don’t break up with me, okay?”
Tears streamed down Qin Jiao’s face. She had fallen madly in love with Huo Buyu. Everyone in the imperial capital knew that she had been courting Huo Buyu for many years. It was only until half a year ago that Huo Buyu agreed to give it a try. Qin Jiao had thought that after she started dating Huo Buyu, the two of them would be intimate. But who would have thought that even after becoming her boyfriend, Huo Buyu remained cold to her? He wasn’t even willing to hug or kiss her. This caused her much grief. Hence, she made the fatal move of getting cosy with another man in Huo Buyu’s presence, with the intention of testing the latter and provoking him to arouse his jealousy.
However, reality proved her wrong! Not only was Huo Buyu unmoved, he also detested her actions, and broke up with her right there and then! After that, he completely ignored her! No matter how she tried to put in a good word or apologized, Huo Buyu remained indifferent. The only thing that comforted Qin Jiao was that Huo Buyu didn’t have any other women by his side during the time that they had broken up. She thought that she still had a chance to salvage the situation until just now! Huo Buyu had actually posted on his WeChat Moments to show off his new love!
