My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 17 I Understand_1

From King’s anger earlier, it seems like he’s really furious. I hope he doesn’t kill me.

My poor life is in danger.

Regardless, thinking won’t help. All I can do is run towards my grave.

Ye Lu, panting, opened the door. Looking at Shang Jingchen, whose face was as stormy as a brewing tempest, she tried her best to flash a flattering smile and beckoned to him in a servile manner.

"Hi, Crown Prince Shang, your look today is really cool."

Shang Jingchen raises an eyebrow, "Are you complimenting this prince?"

"Of course," Ye Lu replied, doing her best to please him.

There is a saying that you don’t hit someone who is smiling at you, so during times like this, it was necessary to compliment him to cool down his anger.

"Look at you, so trendy even if you’re wrapped like a mummy, but definitely the most handsome mummy," she said.

Shang Jingchen’s face turned darker.

Pfft... Yang Xiu couldn’t help but laugh. A mummy, what an original idea.

But who compliments a man by calling him a mummy? It’s surely a death wish, look at how dark Shang Jingchen’s face has gotten.

This gold digger is so funny.

"Thank you for your compliment," Shang Jingchen gritted his teeth. "Did you come empty-handed?"

He frowned at her. When others come for a visit, they bring gifts, and yet she had the audacity to show up empty-handed.

"No no, I did bring a gift," Ye Lu hastily said.

She already knew that this King was extremely picky, and she was afraid that he would make things difficult for her, so despite her rush, she still brought a gift.

She stretched out her hand carefully, offering a flower to Shang Jingchen’s face.

"This is for you, wishing you a speedy recovery."

"White, chrysanthemum, flower!" Shang Jingchen’s teeth gritted with a cold aura, and finally, he couldn’t hold it back anymore. "I’m not dead yet. Are you here to wish me well or curse me?"

Ye Lu was frightened by his roar and shrank her neck, opening her innocent eyes wide.

"Should I dye it red then? There should be no issue with a red chrysanthemum, right?"

She was rushing over earlier and casually picked a matching white chrysanthemum from a bouquet of flowers without considering the language of flowers.

"Hahaha...I’m dying from laughter, Jingchen. Out of all the gifts you’ve received, this one is the most striking. A white chrysanthemum, miss, you’re very creative and very bold!" Yang Xiu was almost laughing his guts out.

Giving a white chrysanthemum as a get-well gift, no wonder Jingchen was furious.

Any man encountering such a quirky woman would lose all elegance. He even felt a bit sorry for Shang Jingchen.

"And who are you?" Ye Lu was displeased seeing him laughing so exaggeratedly and seemingly enjoying her distress.

"I’m Jingchen’s good friend. Ye Lu, I’m really envious. You’re the first person to stir up Jingchen’s emotions this much. Even I can’t do it..." Yang Xiu sighed regretfully, his charming eyes twinkling.

Ye Lu looked up and down at this bewitching man who was dressed in trendy tight pants, had a delicate face with makeup on, and wore a shiny earring. His extravagant visual kei style, although a man, was full of charm.

She suddenly widened her eyes in disbelief, took a few steps back, her eyes darting between Yang Xiu and Shang Jingchen.

"What’s wrong?" Yang Xiu blinked curiously.

Shang Jingchen also looked at her puzzledly.

"I finally understand." Ye Lu had an "I see" expression on her face.

Shang Jingchen and Yang Xiu were both completely clueless. What did this woman understand?

"Ah, no wonder you are so unpredictable and hot-tempered. It’s because your heart is unable to attain its love."

"What are you talking about?" Shang Jingchen looked at her in surprise. How could she know his secret, know that he was in unrequited love?

Ye Lu looked at Shang Jingchen with sympathetic eyes.

No wonder this man’s moods were so erratic, resisting so much against the matchmaking banquet that his mother had set up for him.

Getting drunk in a bar, even pulling her to pretend to be his girlfriend as a shield.

Turns out his heart was in such pain and helplessness.
