novelAngel in disguise?

Luo Xiaolei face palmed herself. She couldn't believe that this devil not only rejected her proposal but she even ended up hearing some really cheesy advice from him. She didn't expect this person of all people to act and speak like this. The devil prince she had in mind had a completely different personality. She expected him to be ruthless, someone who could force her to kneel before him if he wanted to, but what was this? Was this a joke? This devil was actually talking about patience and virtues? Oh god! Perhaps, this person was actually not the real Yu Chen?
Luo Xiaolei began to think that this man might be an impostor so she creased her forehead as she gazed at him. She looked like she was scrutinizing the man before her, as if her eyes now turned into a pair of magnifying glasses. However, Luo Xiaolei could feel the same strange aura she felt from him back in the party that night. His physical features and every contour of his face didn't seem fake either. Sigh... I don't know anymore!
Giving up thinking about this man, Luo Xiaolei sighed deeply. She glanced at her watch and she bit her lip hard.
The next moment, she bravely looked at Yu Chen's eyes again.
"Uhm... Mr. Yu, I truly understand what you mean but I feel like I will be extremely troubled if you make me wait like this, that I might not be able to sleep and eat. You know that keeping someone waiting is also a kind of torture, don't you? Do you really want to torture me like this?" Luo Xiaolei's voice was enticing. She spoke like an esteemed lady persuading a certain king, while her eyes were trying to be enchanting, oozing with extreme persistence which Yu Chen found to be quite amusing.
Yu Chen's gaze was then locked onto her eyes and after a short while, he finally spoke."Okay, " he uttered, causing Luo Xiaolei's eyes to circle widely in anticipation."Listen Miss Luo, I believe that it's best for you to wait and think about this for a while longer. Don't worry, the only reason why I refused was because I don't like your methods." He said as he leaned in closer to her and Luo Xiaolei could only blink. She was utterly speechless as the devil casually straightened up and signaled to his guards that they were leaving.
"Where are you going? Let me drop you off? It's already late and it's not safe for a lady like you to be out alone." Yu Chen continued and the silenced Luo Xiaolei was again so shocked she couldn't reply immediately.
"What. Are you scared? You asked me to marry you so boldly and yet, you don't want me to take you home?" Yu Chen's voice rang again, causing Luo Xiaolei's shocked senses to be awakened at once. 𝒇𝐫e𝑒𝒘ℯ𝑏noѵ𝐞𝑙 - 🅽🅽novel
"No, no. Of course, I'd love to." She finally replied and so, just like that, the two entered a heavily guarded black car. The car's interior didn't look so extravagant as she expected but in one glance she could tell that this impressive car was made not to be easily destroyed by anything, maybe even bombs.
When the car started moving, Luo Xiaolei began to feel tense. It was because the other men with them were in such an intense and ever so serious mood. Apart from Yu Chen, everyone seemed to be in their highest level of alertness that the air turned so heavy. Luo Xiaolei was subconsciously restraining herself not to make any noise. The men looked like they were in a certain dangerous S-rank mission and it felt quite suffocating.
Luo Xiaolei couldn't even begin to execute her plan to keep on trying to make this man accept her proposal. The atmosphere was just too heavy to do anything out of place. Gosh! What was this? Are we going to be attacked or something? Did this devil live like this his entire life?
Somehow, Luo Xiaolei realized that this devil was indeed living through his own tough situation as well. Thinking about it, Luo Xiaolei fell quiet. She gave up her plan for now since she was afraid that she might distract the guards and cause trouble. She also thought that this almighty Yu Chen personally sending her home was enough good news to give her damn father.
Thus, the entire trip, that lasted for some minutes, remained silent and tensed. Yu Chen also didn't say a word until they finally reached the huge gate of the Luo Mansion.
"Thank you so much for sending me home." Luo Xiaolei then uttered as soon as she stepped out of the car's door. When Yu Chen nodded, she smiled and she turned to walk away, but before she could step away, the man spoke.
"Wait." He said and when Luo Xiaolei turned to him, she saw Yu Chen reaching out his hand.
"Give me your phone."
Luo Xiaolei blinked at him but she eventually gave her phone to him, her brows knotting with curiosity. The man then typed something in it and when he returned it and she saw Yu Chen's name and number, she was shocked.
"You said it would be torture to wait so I'm giving my personal number to you. Don't wait outside my building anymore, just call me. But don't even think about giving it to others or letting others see it. Got it?!" he said and before Luo Xiaolei could even react, the door closed and just like that, the car left.
With her mouth hung open, Luo Xiaolei just stood there watching the disappearing cars. When her senses snapped back to the present, she looked at her phone again and she didn't know how to react.
"Who the hell dubbed this Yu Chen a'Devil'? He's actually an angel in disguise for goodness' sake!"
