Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Since an important character in the love triangle had already left the stage, the students who were standing around to watch the show didn’t linger. They seemed to have some opinions about the drama, so they discussed and left in groups of three or five.

Yu Yao stared at Gao Cheng’s retreating figure thoughtfully. She felt that this man might still be useful in the future. It was better to keep him close for the time being.

“Do you need my help?” Qiao Lian asked. “I can see that the guy wasn’t just after you. He wanted more from you.”

He looked like he was eager to fight, as if a single nod from Yu Yao would make the man who was entangled with her earlier completely disappear.

Yu Yao found the thought a little funny. This was a lawful society. Who would make someone else disappear over just a little emotional entanglement?

Obviously, Yu Yao still didn’t know how dangerous this man was.

Yu Yao shook her head. “Even if I didn’t know his motives in the past, I understand now. Although it’s despicable that he wants to play with my feelings, he’s only following the orders of others. He’ll be even more useful to me.”

Qiao Lian nodded and reined in the faint killing intent around him.

Without anyone in their way, Qiao Lian and Yu Yao continued to stroll around the campus.

The campus was very beautiful in early autumn. There were many dense parasol trees planted on both sides of the road. The leaves fell to the ground as an autumn wind blew over gently. The rushing students stepped on them, producing soft rustling sounds.

They walked to the university gate. Yu Yao ran over to buy two cups of caramel milk tea and gave one cup to Qiao Lian.

“Hey, thank you for cooperating with me just now. Take this as a thank-you gift.”

Yu Yao didn’t know if Qiao Lian, who was obviously an otherworldly person, had tried this kind of cheap drink before, so she said considerately, “If you don’t like it, I’ll take it home to drink myself.”

Qiao Lian would not refuse such a thank-you gift. He took the milk tea, inserted a straw into it with some unfamiliarity, and took a big gulp without any difficulty.

He slowly chewed on the caramelized boba at the bottom and found that Yu Yao was looking at him in surprise. Qiao Lian seemed to understand what she was thinking.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“It’s just a little strange.” Yu Yao wrapped her fingers around her cup and said frankly, “I thought you were the kind of person who only ate high-end ingredients and drank from bottles of mineral water that cost a few thousand yuan. I didn’t expect you to drink milk tea too.”

“Since you thought I wouldn’t know how to drink it, why did you buy it for me?”

“I was just being polite.” Yu Yao shrugged. “After all, you’ve helped me so many times. I couldn’t possibly not treat you to a cup of milk tea, right?”

When she passed by a notice board, she seemed to notice information about the student union recruiting part-timers. She stopped and looked at it seriously.

Qiao Lian asked her, “You want to work and study? Doesn’t the Yu family give you a living allowance and pocket money?”

“Nope. No matter what, they have never mistreated me materialistically. However, I wish I could become independent quickly.”

Yu Yao said nonchalantly, “Didn’t you investigate me before? You must know that I’m not have a nice time living with the Yu family. It’ll be good to leave them as soon as possible.”

Qiao Lian said faintly, “If you want to leave the Yu family, there’s clearly a faster and more convenient way to do so, isn’t there?”

Yu Yao was no fool. She knew what he was talking about.

She did not intend to feign ignorance. “I know that as long as I seek your help, I will be able to completely get rid of the Yus. But will you help me for a moment, or will you help me for the rest of my life? To me, the Yu family is like a dungeon that I cannot skip in a video game. I have to rely on myself to diligently clear it.”

“However, faced with the more troublesome dungeons in the game, spending money will be the most efficient route though.”

Qiao Lian said in a low voice, “Think about it. If you could leave the Yus, wouldn’t you be able to start a new life?”

Before Yu Yao could reply, a slightly dissatisfied voice rang out from not far behind them. “I didn’t think that the mighty Third Master of the Qiao Family would actually do something like abducting a girl from another family.”

Yu Yao turned and realized that the person who had spoken was the second young master of the Yu family, Yu Heng, who had just returned from the research institute yesterday.

Yu Heng and Yu Lang were very similar, but compared to elites like Yu Lang, Yu Heng had a scholarly aura. Beside him were a few very familiar middle-aged men. Yu Yao’s sharp eyes spotted the counselor she had met when she went to cancel her leave of absence earlier.

Yu Heng walked over and pulled Yu Yao closer to him. He looked at Qiao Lian vigilantly. “Mr. Qiao, Yu Yao’s relationship with us is our family’s business.. I hope you won’t take advantage of the situation of her being in a fight with her family and do a despicable thing like abducting her.”
