Chapter 197: Call me “Yu”
“Huh?”
Seeing how Leng Jun Yu was personally serving her, Le Yao Yao blushed. But she still knew her manners and quietly thanked him. Then, she used her own chopsticks and picked the oyster up as she devoured the whole thing into her mouth.
“How’s the taste?”
“Mmm. It’s delicious!”
Le Yao Yao couldn’t help but got another oyster for herself.
Just as she was about to put it into her mouth, she thought about it, and decided to place it in Leng Jun Yu’s bowl instead.
“Prince Rui, you should eat one too! It’s so yummy!”
But Leng Jun Yu suddenly lifted his arm up to stop Le Yao Yao’s hand midway.
Seeing this, Le Yao Yao was confused. She stared at her chopsticks and assumed the King of Hell was a germaphobe. Most likely, he didn’t want his food to be served from someone else’s used chopsticks.
So, Le Yao Yao decided to pull her hand back. Unexpectedly, the man across from her pointed to his lips. He indicated he wanted her to feed him.
Le Yao Yao felt a blast of hot air entering her head.
Feed him?!?
The King of Hell was so shameless…!
However, Le Yao Yao obeyed his orders and lifted the oyster towards his mouth.
Leng Jun Yu ate the whole thing in one gulp.
Then, the King of Hell may or may not have purposely revealed his tongue as he licked his lips seductively.
By now, Le Yao Yao’s cheeks were burning. Her ears were red and there were probably green smoke coming out of her head.
The King of Hell’s actions were so sexual! It was making her recall the intense kiss they had shared on the tree…
Since Le Yao Yao was overly nervous, she decided to keep her head down as she devoured the entire plate of oysters. When Leng Jun Yu noticed “he” finished the entire plate, he was very satisfied.
There was a crafty glint in his eyes.
Oysters were a great supplement for men. Would it also help “him”? He was still considered half a man, right?!
By now, Le Yao Yao was very full. She touched her round tummy and fell back against her seat. She was too lazy to sit up properly.
“Wowwww. This meal was awesome!”
“You like it, eh?”
Leng Jun Yu smiled and he attentively poured Le Yao Yao a cup of tea. Then, he silently placed it in front of her.
Seeing this, Le Yao Yao felt awkward. After all, their relationship was supposed to be a boss-subordinate relationship. What type of boss serves his servant?
“Servant can do it!”
“No need.”
Leng Jun Yu didn’t like how Le Yao Yao was referring to himself as “servant” again. So, his brows crinkled and he stated, “From now on, when you’re in front of this Prince, use ‘I’ instead of ‘servant’.”
“What?!!?”
“T-that is totally unacceptable! Servant is servant!!”
“To this Prince, you’re not a servant.” Leng Jun Yu firmly declared.
This statement was extremely touching to Le Yao Yao. It was as if a lightning bolt had pierced through her heart.
Le Yao Yao lifted her watery eyes as she smiled at Leng Jun Yu.
“Alright. I understand, Prince Rui!”
“Haha….”
“Also…In the future, when there are only the two of us, call this Prince, ‘Yu’!”
Yu!?! Addressing him using his real name? Isn’t that way too intimate? That’s how lovers address each other…..
So, Le Yao Yao lowered her head again because she didn’t want Prince Rui to see how flustered she was.
Ever since Leng Jun Yu had confessed to her, she was very sensitive to his words. In addition, his attitude towards her had changed drastically.
Today, he was constantly smiling and he was extra gentle with her.
It felt like both friendship…and a relationship!?!?!
Le Yao Yao wasn’t sure if she was ready for this though. She felt like Leng Jun Yu was moving too fast. So, Le Yao Yao did not say anything in response.
“No Rush. Until you are ready, you may continue to address me as ‘This Prince’.”
Le Yao Yao felt relieved and finally raised her head. But next thing she knew, there was a huge commotion in the room next door.
It sounded like someone was angrily smashing bottles of alcohol onto the ground. It was so loud that Le Yao Yao was evidently shaken.
Prince Rui’s brows were also scrunched. He seemed displeased……
“What’s happening next door? Why are they smashing things?” Le Yao Yao mumbled.
At this moment, they could hear footsteps rushing through the corridor. It sounded like the manager was ordering people to do something. Then, they heard a knock at the door.
“Enter.”
The carved wooden doors were pushed open and it revealed the apologetic expression of the manager. “Sorry for the disturbance, Prince Rui. The client next door is intoxicated.”
Then, there was another shattering sound of glass. The drunk man began to scream.
“Damn you! Why don’t you like me? Why am I not good enough for you?! Why….!”
Huh? How come that voice sounds so familiar?
While Le Yao Yao was wondering, Leng Jun Yu’s eyes flashed. He already knew who it was.
After all, martial artists have much better hearing than ordinary people. Plus, that voice was one he had heard for many years.
“If he’s drunk, then send someone to take him back. Remember to take good care of him.”
“Yes, yes. Prince Rui, please take your time to enjoy the meal. I shall excuse myself now.”
Soon, it was quiet again. Le Yao Yao and Leng Jun Yu enjoyed their teas as they admired the moonlight and the stunning night view.
Eventually, Le Yao Yao was sleepy and began to yawn. Seeing this, Leng Jun Yu paid the bill and the two of them left the seafood restaurant.
——
Although it was nighttime, the air was still very stuffy. Le Yao Yao was dressed in a thin layer, but she still found the heat unbearable.
She continuously fanned herself until she got sleepy. But just as she was about to slip into dreamland, she subconsciously sensed another person’s presence.
However, when she opened her eyes, she only saw darkness. But the moment she closed her eyes, they opened again!
There was someone in the room!
Le Yao Yao was positive. Because, she knew there was no alcohol in her room. Yet, her room reeked of alcohol.
“Who’s there?” She whispered.
Le Yao Yao sat upright as she lifted her blanket and hid herself in it. Her eyes were opened wide as her eyes darted back and forth.
She could sense there was a person standing by her bed. Le Yao Yao’s back stiffened and her scalp began to turn numb. Her mouth was opened wide and she was about to scream for help.
However, before she could get any sound out, someone covered her mouth.
“Mmmm! Mmmm!”
“Xiao Zhu Zi. It’s me…”
“Eh??”
That voice belonged to Nangong Jun Xi! Thinking of this, Le Yao Yao’s fear turned to anger. She took this opportunity to bite Nangong Jun Xi’s palm. She tasted blood.
Immediately, Nangong Jun Xi removed his palm and Le Yao Yao began to yell.
“Damn you! It’s the middle of the night! Why are you in my room again!? Don’t you know that humans can scare others to death? Also, what do you want? If you have something to say, then do it now. I need to sleep!”
Nangong Jun Xi’s voice was not cheery like his normal self. Instead, it was filled with sadness, anger, and hopelessness.
“Why? Tell me why I’m not good enough? You treat Bai so well. You could accept senior brother’s kiss. But why can’t you accept me at all?”
“Uh…… sorry, Nangong Jun Xi. We are impossible!”
“Why?”
“Well, do I need to explain? I-I’m a eunuch!”
“Then how come you can accept senior brother?”
“Ummm……uh……”
Did she accept the King of Hell?
“How much longer do you plan on lying to me for? You’ve already liked senior brother for a long time, right? That’s why when he kissed you yesterday, you were so intoxicated! Yet, when I kissed you, you only experience anger, right?”
Although the truth hurts, Nangong Jun Xi could no longer hold it in. Not to mention that he had consumed a lot of alcohol. Hence, he was venting out all his emotions right now.
“Damn it. Why don’t you like me? Why….”
The person who was shattering bottles must have been Nangong Jun Xi!!!
No wonder she thought his voice sounded so familiar. No wonder the King of Hell wasn’t furious and told the manager to kindly take care of that client.
The King of Hell must have known it was him all along. Does that mean the King of Hell wa aware of Nangong Jun Xi’s feelings towards her?
Suddenly, Nangong Jun Xi pressed her down.
“Hey! Get up! Are you insane?!?”
“Yes! I’m insane! I’m insane for falling in love with a eunuch. I’m crazy…… Hahaha! Xiao Zhu Zi, be good. I won’t do anything to you. I just want to hold onto you. In the future, I’ll treat you well. Please accept me…..”
