Rest in a Demon's Embrace [BL]-Chapter 148
148 A Bad Premonition
Just as Jiang Yao was about to refuse her entry, Luo Xiao leaned back in the chair and spoke up. “Let her come in.”
The manager could not help but glance at Jiang Yao, feeling a little perplexed. They all knew of the Seventh Demon Prince, but they had never seen him pamper a person like this.
He could see the helplessness on Jiang Yao’s face, but in the end, the demon just shook his head and waved his hand. “Let her in.”
It was evident that Luo Xiao wished to see this woman who was obsessed with his man. Previously, he might have attempted to avoid all kinds of conflicts, but he had grown mentally. He was not going to cower just because of the woman’s background.
His plan was quite simple; he wished to show his sovereignty over Jiang Yao. So far, it had always been Jiang Yao who had been doing this, but now he felt the need to let others know that this guy was taken. All those peach blossoms that were fluttering around him had to be chopped down as soon as possible.
Although Jiang Yao felt a little helpless when thinking of the encounter that would take place in a few moments, he also felt a bit of happiness. The young man had matured from the helpless white rabbit he had picked up back then.
The manager quickly understood that Jiang Yao had no intention of stopping Luo Xiao’s wish to meet Miss Cao, so he bowed before retreating from the room.
Although his face seemed calm and collected, stormy seas were roiling in his heart. Jiang Yao was known to be ruthless and never caring about anyone, including most of his family, but now he was showing such obvious love to a human.
It was not unexpected that the Royal Family would combine with humans, but the main thing was that this person was unknown! The young man was extremely beautiful, but he was not from a prominent family within Cloudsoar City, nor did he seem to have some sort of amazing talent. 𝐟re𝐞w𝐞𝒃𝓃𝒐𝐯𝚎𝒍.c૦𝚖
.....
The manager had already probed for Luo Xiao’s cultivation base, but he was not at a point where he could be considered a genius. It was not that this guess was wrong, if Luo Xiao had been an ordinary cultivator, but he had not cultivated for long, and the speed of advancement was already outstanding.
As the door closed behind the manager, he cleared his mind and coughed slightly before he smiled and looked at Cao Lanying.
“Miss Cao, the esteemed guests inside allowed for your entry.”
There were no other clues of the identity of the guests within the room, but the calm expression on the manager’s face made many curious. How could they continue to be so calm when his restaurant was on the verge of being destroyed by the Cao family?
Cao Lanying was supposed to be incredibly proud of herself and should have burst into the room in front, but a strange feeling of unrest and discomfort found a way to her heart.
She did not know who was staying inside, but she suddenly had a premonition that if she entered, she would regret it for the rest of her life.
However, she was a person who valued her pride, and since she had said that she would find justice from the one who had drunk the Jade Fruit Juice, she had to enter no matter what.
Taking a deep breath, Cao Lanying placed her hand on the door and pushed it open. She entered the room right away, and closed the door behind her.
The manager did not follow her; he understood that certain things were not allowed to be heard by ordinary citizens like himself, but he still stayed outside the door to guard them in case they needed something.
The moment that Cao Lanying entered, her eyes widened while her pupils constricted. She had expected many people to appear here, but she had never guessed that it could be him.
She had been following Jiang Yao for so long, and she admired him, even felt obsessed with him, but she had never really been this close to him.
She knew that they were from different factions, and she could also sense his dislike for her, but she refused to give up.
Her eyes were focused on the beautiful and mature man who was leaning against the chair with a casual smile on his face as he was speaking with a young man by his side.
The tenderness within Jiang Yao’s eyes was not possible to be faked, and the hand of the demon prince was gently picking up a cloth and wiped Luo Xiao’s lips.
“There are others within the room; let’s finish our meal later.”
The coaxing voice was so full of gentleness, and the usual coldness was nowhere to be found.
Looking at the two and their intimate actions, it felt as if a bomb had exploded within Cao Lanying’s mind.
She had never before thought it was possible for him to show tenderness towards anyone, but now she witnessed such a scene. Anger flared in her heart.
She was used to being a rich miss who was spoiled. She had never been able to accept the loss of something she wanted, and if she lost control of something, she would ruin it with her own hands.
Unfortunately, this was Jiang Yao, the Seventh Demon Prince. No matter how much she wished to force him, she did not have the ability, and to ruin him was even less likely.
Since she could not do anything to him, every negative emotion that was swirling in her heart was projected onto the young and handsome man who was seated by the side, and she rushed forward with her hand raised high, clearly planning on slapping the young man hard.
