What a brazen homewrecker.
Jiang Liuyue realized she still didn't quite understand Huo Yaochuan. How could a person be so shameless?
But when she checked the system progress, she found the favorability rating was only at 80%.
80% and he's already willing to be a homewrecker.
She thought her own moral compass was already quite low, but she never expected someone to be even more unscrupulous than her.
"I really wonder how Feng Xiaoman ever fell for you in the first place?"
"It was me who saw the photo Feng Xiaoman posted and fell for you first."
Since the truth was already out in the open, Huo Yaochuan stopped beating around the bush and spoke bluntly.
Just then, a waiter approached with a tray to serve their food.
It interrupted their conversation.
Dishes were brought out one by one: exquisitely plated steak, fragrant soup, and baked lobster, all emitting a delicate aroma.
Jiang Liuyue's eyes lit up.
They were all her favorites.
"Let's eat first," Huo Yaochuan suggested with a faint smile.
"Deal!"
During the meal, Jiang Liuyue occasionally looked down to reply to Zhou Che's messages.
Huo Yaochuan knew but didn't ask.
Asking would only invite humiliation.
After dinner, Jiang Liuyue said she needed to go home for her live stream.
Huo Yaochuan: "Alright, I'll take you."
But as he drove her, they ended up at the foot of a skyscraper.
Jiang Liuyue: "...???"
Huo Yaochuan: "I bought the 21st floor. It's for you, as your office space."
Jiang Liuyue: "Trying to buy me off?"
Huo Yaochuan: "Trying to win you over."
Typical of the wealthy and powerful Boss Huo.
When pursuing Feng Xiaoman, he'd just transfer 50,000. When pursuing her, he directly gifts an entire floor of office space.
Just as Huo Yaochuan expected her to righteously refuse,
or even harshly retort, "You think this can buy me? My feelings aren't calculated this way."
Instead,
he heard Jiang Liuyue's delighted voice by his ear.
"Then take me up to tour my new office space."
"Oh, and when will the transfer be finalized?"
When she turned her head, her face wore a sly, fox-like smile.
Clearly and unmistakably showcasing the words "money-grubber."
Huo Yaochuan couldn't help but chuckle wryly.
Right.
At first, when he sent small gifts, he was just 'HYC'.
After sending a 'Carnival' gift, he became 'Brother H'.
Jiang Liuyue was always a person of unwavering consistency.
She didn't pretend; her greed was openly displayed.
Compared to someone like Feng Xiaoman, who verbally refused but accepted every transfer, Huo Yaochuan felt he still preferred Jiang Liuyue.
The 21st-floor office space was fully furnished.
And besides the largest office, every other room was equipped with the most professional live-streaming gear.
Jiang Liuyue looked around, marveling.
"Wow, this sound card is so expensive. I've wanted it for ages but never bought it."
"This ring light is way too bright. Five in one room? That's just burning money."
"Tsk tsk tsk, but it's great. Now all of this is mine."
Huo Yaochuan quietly chimed in, "Yes, it's all yours. So am I."
Jiang Liuyue stopped in her tracks and looked back at the exceptionally handsome and imposing man behind her.
"Getting addicted to being a homewrecker?"
"What do you mean 'homewrecker'?" Huo Yaochuan feigned innocence, saying earnestly, "I'm just your other boyfriend."
Alright, alright!
People really do laugh when they're utterly speechless.
Jiang Liuyue was no exception.
But considering the whole floor of office space, she'd reluctantly forgive him.
"When did you buy this?" she asked.
The office furnishings and equipment didn't seem hastily thrown together.
Huo Yaochuan fell silent.
After a moment, he said,
"After seeing your live stream for the first time, I don't know why."
"I just had a feeling we'd meet again."
"So I had my assistant acquire this live-streaming company in S City. Of course, all the equipment inside is new."
Indeed, a man spending money lavishly is most attractive.
This was way more impressive than sending any 'Carnival' gift!
Jiang Liuyue nodded in satisfaction. Seeing her live stream time was approaching, she picked the most appealing streaming room.
The gaming chair was a soft pink too.
Just looking at it lifted her mood.
Huo Yaochuan didn't say a word, just silently stood out of the camera's view, playing the role of a little assistant.
The live stream began.
Many fans were curious about the changed setting.
[Has Baby Liuyue signed with a company? The environment looks so much better.]
[Ah, don't! Companies can be really exploitative.]
[But the stream quality seems higher today. Our Moon Baby's beauty is as stunning as ever.]
Jiang Liuyue spoke softly into the microphone on the desk:
"Haven't signed with a company."
"Welcome, wives, to the stream."
"I just changed to a new streaming location, to be more professional."
"Hmm... yeah, changed locations. No, didn't strike it rich—I won the lottery."
Huo Yaochuan, referred to as 'the lottery' himself, stood behind her. Watching her bright, lively, smiling face as she addressed the camera, the corners of his mouth also lifted slightly.
[Weimianye has entered the stream.]
"Ah, welcome Young Master Ye to the stream," Jiang Liuyue read aloud.
She and Zhou Che had agreed to date but keep it private for now.
After all, a female streamer getting together with her top tipper would invite criticism.
And besides, she was a talent streamer who relied on singing.
[Welcome, Young Master Ye.]
[Young Master Ye is so punctual. Our Moon Baby just started streaming.]
[Weimianye: Changed streaming locations?]
Other fans immediately started chattering, explaining on Liuyue's behalf.
Watching from his screen, Zhou Che, for some reason, sensed a flicker of panic.
He remembered calling Huo Yaochuan earlier that day, hearing a door open right before the call was abruptly hung up.
Something felt off.
[Weimianye: Congrats, Yueyue, on the lottery win! Can I rub some of that luck off you?]
After sending this message, Zhou Che immediately called his assistant.
"Find out where Brother Huo is right now."
The assistant was taken aback. "Ah, looking into Young Master Huo..."
If found out, Zhou Che would get a serious beating.
Everyone in the B City circle knew the leading young master was the Huo family's Huo Yaochuan.
The Zhou family was well-off too, but far from matching the Huo family's prestige.
"Just do it!"
After hanging up,
Zhou Che heard Yueyue on screen laughing sweetly, making a heart shape with her hands near her cheeks:
"Of course you can!"
"Rub some good luck off me."
He couldn't help but grin foolishly along with her.
Then, Liuyue sang two or three popular songs from Douyin as usual.
Her voice was clear, sweet, but not cloying. Even common hit songs took on a different charm when she sang them.
His assistant called back.
"Young Master, I found out."
"Young Master Huo took the latest flight last night to S City."
Zhou Che's smile vanished instantly. "Okay, I understand."
Hanging up the phone,
What else was there to not understand?
Who in S City could it be?!
Huo Yaochuan had already broken up with Feng Xiaoman. Why would he fly to S City late at night?
So, it was for Yueyue.
Including tonight's brand new, high-quality streaming location and equipment—all his doing.
The 'lottery' in Yueyue's mouth.
Was Huo Yaochuan!!!
