Thousand Face Demonic Concubine Chapter 180.2

Chapter 180.2 - Unable to restrain emotions

“Really? It was just along the way.” He languidly looked at Xiahou Qing and Lou Qingwu, his eyes already regaining their usual calm.

Xiahou Qing clearly didn’t believe him.

The Night Prince clearly looked angry.

But the angrier he got, the more he suddenly felt comfortable and at east.

This was the first time that he’d beat this Night Prince.

The girl that he liked, didn’t like him back but instead, was in love with him.

No matter how he thought about it, his self confidence was rocketing upwards.

Ye Ji’s eyes rolled around as if the awkward atmosphere didn’t exist as she grew lively again.

She changed the topic towards Lou Qingwu and Xiahou Qing again.

“Congratulations to big brother and big sister-in-law. If it wasn’t for big brother being injured, I’d really want big brother to marry sister-in-law. That way, this residence will have a female master.”

“Miss Ye Ji …” Lou Qingwu’s face flushed red.

She shot a coquettish look at Ye Ji.

This made Xiahou Qing laugh out loud, as he reached for her hands again.

“This little prince wants to marry Qingwu too, ah. But your Qingwu little sister hasn’t agreed yet …” It wasn’t known if he did it on purpose or not, but he continued to follow Ye Ji’s line of conversation.

Lou Qingwu grew silent as she looked down, out of shyness or out of something else.

Feng Yege turned away completely but the veins in his hands were bulging and beating faster, showing that he was on the verge of exploding.

When the two people had finished chatting, Lou Qingwu’s eyes were impossibly cold.

She silently pulled her hand back before looking up, smilingly, at Ye Ji.

But her eyes had no laughter in them.

“Miss Ye Ji, did you come here today to tease me?”

Once she said this, half of Ye Ji’s laughter disappeared, “Qingwu little sister, why are you asking me like that? I’m just being happy for you and my big brother.”

“But he hasn’t asked for a matchmaker or put down betrothal gifts. And you’re calling me sister-in-law already? If someone else heard that, not only would they talk badly about the third prince, but my reputation would be ruined. Miss Ye Ji, please don’t say these things again.”

“Qingwu?” Xiahou Qing also froze.

He originally wanted to trigger Feng Yege a bit more because he saw that he still had some feelings for Lou Qingwu.

But he’d only just found out that Lou Qingwu wasn’t shy, she was furious just then.

Just thinking about how reckless he was, he was suddenly a bit regretful.

After all, when it was just the two of them, it’d be fine because anything they did would remain between the two of them.

But in front of other people, like that, of course it’d make her angry.

Men and women do have their differences, and they aren’t engaged either.

Thinking it through, Xiahou Qing purposely moved a bit away from Lou Qingwu.

His face was apologetic, “Qingwu, I just couldn’t restrain my emotions ....”

Lou Qingwu looked at him bitterly before pursing her lips and not saying a word, turning her face away.

Xiahou Qing, this time, was a bit anxious.

He angrily glared at Ye Ji.

If it wasn’t for her bringing up the topic, he wouldn’t have forgotten that his goal was to get Lou Qingwu head over heels over him.

But a man that clearly didn’t care about her reputation, would obviously be a man who doesn’t care about her.

So he used an even gentler and softer voice to coax her, and he didn’t even know how many sweet nothings he used to coax her, until Lou Qingwu’s face reluctantly had a bit of laughter.

Ye Ji sat there awkwardly as Feng Yege was as calm as if he was just a s.p.a.ce of nothing.

His handsome face was dark.

After the few people regained their previous happy atmosphere, Ye Ji then smiled.

She changed the topic, “Big brother, I purposely came to ask brother Ye to come so that he could see big brother’s injuries.”

Once she brought up this topic, her eyes accidentally met Xiahou Qing’s.

She watched as Xiahou Qing’s eyes instantly coldened.

Her heart dropped.

Uh oh.

She was busy trying to find an excuse to get brother Ye to come to the third prince’s residence, so busy that she forgot that this was the excuse Xiahou Qing was using for Lou Qingwu.

If this ruined Xiahou Qing’s plan, she was scared that ….

“Oh? But this prince sees that the third prince looks fine, does he really need my help?” Feng Yege’s indifferent voice was cold, making Ye Ji’s face slightly brighten up.

It’d be best if brother Ye didn’t take a look at Xiahou Qing.

“Night Prince has wasted his efforts. Originally, I’d be beyond grateful if the Night Prince could help me but Qingwu says that she’s already found a way so I’m very calm. Right, Qingwu?” He turned to look deeply at Lou Qingwu.

TL note:  

I’m meeting with my supervisor’s supervisor’s supervisor’s supervisor tomorrow.

Needless to say, I’m pretty worried.

It’ll be 3 people + the big boss (who isn’t the big boss because there’s a huge chain of command but I’m still a lil worried.)

Leave a comment and for more bitter angst xx
