Chapter 153 - Unexpected Personality
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Cao Haolong was surprised when he found that the speaker was Luo Xiao. It was not that he looked down upon this young man, but he had not thought that he would be so brave as to speak while Jiang Yao was clearly set on killing Cao Lanying.
Jiang Yao was also displeased. He understood that this woman was stupid, and that her stupidity was likely to cause trouble for them in the future, which might even cause Luo Xiao to be in danger.
However, he respected the young man, and since he had made a decision, he was not going to refute the decision. Even so, everyone could feel the gloom that was hovering around his body.
Cao Haolong looked at the revered Seventh Demon Prince, who was looked upon as a deity. His lips twitched slightly, and he quickly averted his eyes. The great demon was sulking!
He had already guessed that Luo Xiao was important in the heart of Jiang Yao, but he had never thought it was to the degree that he could change the prince’s decisions.
After a few extra glances at Luo Xiao, Cao Haolong could still not comprehend what this young man possessed that could make Jiang Yao so infatuated..ᴄᴏᴍ
“Have you seen enough?” The cold voice of Jiang Yao resounded in the room, and Cao Haolong could not help but clear his throat and feel somewhat sheepish. He was merely looking at the young man, was there any need to be so defensive?
He could feel the jealousy even from where he was standing right now, and he felt it completely shocking. Who could have guessed that the one who would take down this great demon would be such a young man who seemed very gentle?
Cao Haolong could not help but feel some admiration towards this young man. It was no easy feat to conquer Jiang Yao, but it seemed that there was no way to escape in the future.
Cao Haolong did not have any interest in men, but even he could appreciate the appearance of Luo Xiao. He understood why Jiang Yao would treat him so special, but he also felt it quite confusing. It was not often that beauty was enough to confuse such a great expert.
Cao Haolong was feeling tangled. He was supposed to be an enemy of Jiang Yao, and his sister was clearly a pain to Luo Xiao, but the young man still decided to help them, even when he knew that it might cause some future problems.
Even more shocking was that Jiang Yao accepted it. This indicated that Jiang Yao actually did not take the Fourth Demon Prince’s faction seriously.
Cao Haolong had many thoughts flashing through his mind, but his expression was very calm.
“Come in!”
He called out, and four guards wearing the Cao family seal on their clothes entered. All of them seemed vigilant, and their muscles were tight.
“Take the Eldest Miss home. Make sure that she does not leave her boudoir before I allow her to.” ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
The guards were not surprised by this outcome. The Eldest Miss often caused problems, and the most common punishment was for her to reflect on herself in her room.
Cao Haolong intentionally made the guards bring Cao Lanying away swiftly so that they could not change their decision. Still, he stayed behind after looking at the four guards, who more or less, carried her out.
There was no pity on his face as he looked at the young woman being handled like this. Even if he knew that it was a loss of reputation to be carried by a man whom she was not married to, he felt that she needed a specific punishment to understand that every action had consequences.
Although she was usually very loud and arrogant, the Eldest Miss left the restaurant without saying anything. Her head was lowered, and no one could see the hatred and fierceness that was filling her eyes.
She had been forcefully awakened from her illusion of Jiang Yao being her man, and she could not accept the reality.
She had not expected that he was willing to kill her for the sake of a young man he had not known for long, and the hatred in her heart could not be quelled.
She felt conflicting emotions burning within her heart; on one side, she wished to claim Jiang Yao for herself, and on the other, she wanted him to experience the feeling of losing one’s love.
The agonizing pain that was tearing her heart into shreds was much more uncomfortable than when she was slowly frozen alive. The physical pain could not compare to the feeling of his rejection.
Cao Haolong was not present, and he had not guessed that his disobedient sister was planning to cause even more havoc than she had done before; if so, he would likely regret saving her this time.
Although he would feel regret by watching his half-sister die in front of him, he would rather sacrifice her than bear the consequences that might end with the extermination of the Cao family.
Cao Haolong looked at Luo Xiao, who was calmly drinking the Jade Fruit Juice, and eating the delicious dishes on the table as if he was not present.
He then understood that this young man actually did not like him at all since he was an enemy of Jiang Yao. Luo Xiao also looked at him with hostility, but he had still left the girl alive for his sake, most likely because he admired the feeling of standing up for one’s family.
Such a righteous person was unexpected to be by Jiang Yao’s side. Cao Haolong had expected that Luo Xiao was either completely naive and clueless about the world of scheming and trying to trick everyone.
However, he seemed very smart, but also righteous. He was someone worthy of respect.
