Chapter 94: If someone liked me that much, I would say yes in an instant!
The others all nodded furiously, like chicks pecking at grain.
Ye Luo: "..."
Ye Wuqi immediately laughed and cursed at them, "Get lost! I'm still devoted to my girlfriend! I turned Luo-jie down ages ago. She insisted on it, and I couldn't do anything about it!"
But then Qin Zhaowen noticed something was off. "Can you just change your surname whenever you want? I don't think that's possible. Luo-jie, how did you change yours to Ye?"
Ye Luo said, "My mother’s surname is Ye."
Her mother actually did not bear that surname, but He Luo’s mother truly did.
Hearing this, Qin Zhaowen nodded. "No wonder you were able to change it so easily."
Since she knew her name change might go through in these two days, Ye Luo had been carrying her household registration booklet with her. There was still one class in the morning before lunch, so she did not go to the household registration office to pick up her new identity card.
Instead, she waited until one-thirty in the afternoon, then skipped class and went.

Yan Bada looked over as Ye Luo carried her schoolbag away, and could not help turning back to say to Ye Wuqi behind him, "Qi-ge, I’m serious. You should really think about Luo-jie. She looks kind of pitiful."
Ye Wuqi only found it amusing. "Where does she look pitiful? How am I not seeing it?"
"She likes you that much! She even changed her surname to Ye for you! That’s the legendary thing, even if she can’t get into your family register, she still wants to take your surname!"
"Are you really not afraid I’ll hit you? She clearly said she changed it because her mother’s surname is Ye!"
"You believe that?" Yan Bada looked at him as if asking whether he was stupid.
Ye Wuqi: "..."
Yan Bada went on, "She was clearly doing fine with her father’s surname. Why would she suddenly switch to her mother’s? Weren’t both her parents already gone? And now she changes it to Ye of all things—Qi-ge, this has absolutely got to have something to do with you!"
Qin Zhaoyu was sitting in the seat to Ye Wuqi’s right. Hearing this, he leaned in too. "Qi-ge, I also think Luo-jie is pretty pitiful. She doesn’t show much expression every day, but she’s so good to you. Everyone knows she likes you, and now she’s even changed her surname to Ye. That sort of devotion... I’m starting to envy you. If someone liked me that much, I’d agree to date them in a split second!"
"Listening to you two..." Ye Wuqi stroked his chin. "It really does sound that way. But I have a girlfriend! And I really do like my girlfriend!"
Yan Bada said, "Damn, you actually do have a girlfriend? You weren’t lying to us?"
Ye Wuqi was utterly speechless. "How many times have I told you already? You’re the ones who refuse to believe me!"
Qin Zhaoyu could not help adding, "The problem is we’ve never seen your girlfriend, never seen you go out on dates, and never heard you having long phone calls with her. How are we supposed to believe you?"
"Exactly!" Yan Bada chimed in at once.
Ye Wuqi pointed at Lei Xingxing’s head, where he sat some distance away. "I’ll swear on the head of the big ape that I really do have a girlfriend!"
Lei Xingxing felt a little wronged. "Qi-ge, why do you always swear on my head? What did my head ever do to offend you?"
Ye Wuqi said, "That’s not the point! The point is I really do have a girlfriend!"
Thinking of what Yan Bada and the others had just said, Ye Wuqi grew irritated the next moment.
"If you don’t believe me, fine. I’m going to the bathroom!"
With that, he headed off to the restroom.
Seeing that no one was inside, he shut the door from within.
Then he called his lawyer brother.
As soon as the call connected, he lowered his voice and hopped in agitation, saying frantically, "Brother Lu, He Luo is crazy, crazy! She’s really lost her mind and taken a fancy to me! She’s even changed her surname to mine!"
