Rest In A Demon’s Embrace

While the Cao family was not related to the Royal Family, they held a great amount of respect within Cloudsoar City. Even if they met a less famous prince, such as Jiang Bai, they would be treated with respect.

The truth was that these royal descendants did not fear the Cao family, they just loathed to be connected to the struggle for the throne, and they did not wish to get dragged into the muddy waters, so they just ignored the Cao family.

The majority of the Cao family were painfully aware that they could only maintain their arrogance and might if they stuck to the Fourth Demon Prince. They could not afford to offend the other royal children, as they might team up with others if they did.

It was only Cao Lanying who had not understood the reality of the situation. Due to her being so infatuated with Jiang Yao, most ignored her, but when she was acting out like this, it was likely that the Cao family would have to clean up the mess.

The ones who were observing the drama that was ongoing could not help but feel some gloating in their hearts as they noticed how Cao Lanying was acting arrogantly, without realizing the actual situation in front of her.

This was a world where strength reigned supreme. If the person who had ordered the Jade Fruit Wine were weaker than the Cao family, then the manager would not have hesitated to send them out, but he was clearly uncomfortable with the whole situation.

This made it very likely that the person in the room was more important than Cao Lanying but likely also more reasonable. He knew that even if the woman was weaker, she was ruthless and would not let them off.

If she felt humiliated, it was clear that the ones who would take the blame would be their restaurant. While it was a famous and very well-connected place, it did not mean that they were invincible. Not many were willing to strain their relationship with the Cao family for the sake of a restaurant without any specific influence.

Cao Lanying had a strange feeling of discomfort in her heart. She did not know why, but she felt restless and had a suspicion that something terrible was about to happen.

She craned her neck to look into the room as the manager gently opened the door, but she was unable to see who was seated within.

The door closed behind the manager, and silence descended on the hallway as the onlookers glanced at Cao Lanying.

The woman was not as loud as they had expected. The ones who were observing the drama had expected her to continue being enraged and rush to the door to rip it open and force her way inside to confront the guests inside on her own.

However, it was as if she had been injected with a tranquilizer. She was silent, and a frown had appeared on her brows. The discomfort she felt was growing increasingly prominent, and she did not know how to deal with it.

While Cao Lanying was disliked by the majority of the people within Cloudsoar City, she was not someone that anyone would take seriously. She was very obvious in her emotions, never hiding or scheming.

She was easily angered, and bullied the weak while abusing her family power, but she also had her own pride. She had previously tried to scheme against the Seventh Demon Prince in an attempt to make him like her, but she had failed miserably, and even felt disgusted with herself.

It was also due to this straightforward personality that she was still alive. While Jiang Yao disliked her and felt she was annoying, he never lowered himself to act on her.

In fact, while she was annoying, and used her force to bully others, she had never done anything to harm Jiang Yao. All she did was fall in love with him, and he was not a person who would take care of her for the greater good of the people, so as long as she did not step over his bottom line, he would not care about her.

After meeting Luo Xiao, it seemed that Jiang Yao had more or less tossed the memories of her existence to the back of her mind. It was not before the manager entered the room to announce her words that he remembered that she existed.

"Who is this Miss Cao?" Luo Xiao looked at Jiang Yao with a raised eyebrow. He could not help but feel that his partner had a rather large peach blossom debt.

The first time he met him, Ling Mo had been tagging along, causing them numerous troubles. On their journeys, they had also encountered countless women who fell for him at first sight, and now this Miss Cao also appeared.

Jiang Yao looked at Luo Xiao\'s slightly mocking expression and could not help but feel a bit exasperated. He had never asked for these people to become so obsessed with him, but he was the one who had to face his little lover\'s judging eyes. Life was not fair!

The manager could not help but clear his throat with a cough as he looked at the two, who gazed deeply into the eyes of each other, and felt as if he had been fed a bowl of dog food.

"Your Royal Highness, Miss Cao is adamant about meeting you. She heard the news that our restaurant had managed to procure some Jade Fruits and made them into juice. She wished to taste it, but the juice has already been delivered here.

"She refuses to let it go, and wishes to meet you and avenge this grievance in person."
