"I actually didn't want to come, but since you're so sincere, it wouldn't be very considerate of me to refuse," Yang Xiaoyou mumbled with a shrug while stuffing a spicy lobster into his mouth.
Despite his words, his demeanor suggested otherwise. Liang Wuxuan, sitting beside him, couldn't help but gently pinch his waist. Though it was a pinch, it felt more like a playful tease.
Across from them, Roche wore a wry smile.
To be honest, although his family was indeed at a significant disadvantage compared to those powerful top-tier forces, due to his unique status, he usually received a certain level of courtesy in public.
After all, they were all people of status; even some spoiled rich kids would show basic etiquette towards someone of standing.
However, that strange presence before him, which had forcefully distanced itself from its own influence, had never given him any face at all.
But those who knew their own circumstances understood that even if one appeared to hold a high position, if others refused to acknowledge it, then it truly meant nothing.
On the other side, after indulging and extravagantly enjoying the meal, Yang Xiaoyou managed to feel about eighty percent full. He then stood up and patted his backside, ready to leave with Liang Wuxuan, completely unconcerned about the Third Prince's sour expression.
After all, he had already let the prince treat him to dinner; wasn't that enough "face" given? What more did he want? This meal was the prince's request after all, and he owed him nothing.
"Mr. Yang, actually I was looking for you..." After signing the bill and quickly catching up by a few steps, Roche seemed hesitant but unwilling to give up on the opportunity.
However, before Yang Xiaoyou could refuse himself, they had already reached the entrance of the upscale restaurant. Just as they were about to get into Liang Wuxuan's car to meet up with several other exchange students, they heard a somewhat flirtatious voice from beside them.
"Oh, isn't this the Third Prince? Oh my. The Liang Family girl is here too! Really now, I even invited you once before. You turned me down saying you had something else going on; yet here you are able to join for dinner." A luxurious yellow sports car slowly came to a stop in front of them.
In the driver's seat sat a young man with yellow-dyed hair, wearing sunglasses and a gaudy gold chain around his neck. His arms revealed faint tattoos, and he had piercings in his ears. At that moment, he took off his sunglasses.
In the passenger seat was a heavily made-up, voluptuous woman who was quite attractive.
From the appearance of this young man and his words, it was clear that he was a brother of Roche! This exceptional nonconformist youth was indeed a member of royalty.
Comparing the two, even though Roche's influence had been stripped away, he could still easily outshine his brother by several streets. Truly, every dragon has its own unique offspring.
However, the royal family itself held no power or influence, yet their financial resources were far greater than those of ordinary people. In a situation where upward mobility seemed hopeless, it was not surprising for someone to adopt such a carefree attitude.
Moreover, this fellow had been eyeing Liang Wuxuan with unabashed greed. Yet, he merely ignored Yang Xiaoyou beside him, showing no inclination to cause trouble, which demonstrated a certain level of self-control.
"Second Brother, mind your manners!" Clearly, Roche was displeased with his brother. The gentle expression he had when about to call out to Yang Xiaoyou vanished in an instant, replaced by a cold and ruthless demeanor.
"Manners? What manners? Have you even considered your own? I am your Second Brother; is this how you speak to your elder? Ha! As if being mindful of manners could change anything. You're still just a pampered pig in captivity. I wonder if you understand your own position while you prance around. Don't let your personal actions jeopardize our comfortable lives. Hmph! Beautiful lady, let's go; I won't waste my time on these tasteless fools." After being reprimanded by Roche, the Second Prince clearly became agitated and spoke mockingly before taking the voluptuous lady in the passenger seat and heading towards the restaurant.
His hand slid down to caress her curvy backside as he strutted along, exuding an air of hopelessness.
Roche felt a surge of intense emotions in his chest. After losing his power, his ability to regulate his feelings had diminished significantly. Being poked at by his own kin was already quite rare for him.
Yang Xiaoyou had no interest in such nauseating family dynamics. Although he was also displeased with the Second Generation Heir's attitude, the latter managed to keep things within reasonable bounds. While irritating, it hadn't reached the point of provoking anger; it felt as if engaging further would diminish one's status.
After a light chuckle of indifference, Yang Xiaoyou chose not to engage any longer and directly got into Liang Wuxuan's vehicle in the capital. Roche found himself unable to muster the courage to join them and could only force a smile as he bid farewell to the two.
As Yang Xiaoyou shifted gears, she shook her head and smiled at Liang Wuxuan beside her. "Actually, although that Second Prince looks the way he does, he’s somewhat clever. If he goes too far, he’ll get himself into trouble."
However, halfway through her words, Yang Xiaoyou cast a puzzled glance at the glass wall of the luxurious restaurant, a flicker of hesitation crossing her eyes. Ultimately, she pressed the accelerator and sped away.
To disguise oneself, it’s not always best to appear incompetent; sometimes, a blend of truth and falsehood is necessary to showcase a certain level of specialty to achieve the best effect.
Just like the official member badge of Hive Security Company hanging visibly on her.
Yet, the Second Prince's demeanor inexplicably evoked a sense of familiarity in Yang Xiaoyou.
"How could that be? I’m overthinking things; I’ve really become paranoid lately." After temporarily suppressing some thoughts, although she seemed to have come to terms with it, a seed of doubt still lingered regarding Liang Family's Second Young Master. The Liang Family had recently taken over Red Dragon Security, and aside from the military, they were one of the few forces wielding such formidable combat power. Gaining Liang Wuxuan's favor would be significant for the future.
In a private booth on the second floor of that luxurious restaurant, a voluptuous beautiful lady gazed out the window at the departing sports car, her flirtatious demeanor fading as she adopted a serious expression.
"External forces are ultimately external forces. The old man of the Liang Family is still around; do you think it’s that simple? Hmph, it’s just complicating matters. Moreover, Third Brother has been desperately trying to hide it, but his influence has indeed diminished. Coupled with his changing attitudes recently... Hey, that Liang Family Princess’s companion is quite intriguing and seems remarkably perceptive," mused the Second Prince, his face reflecting a dazed expression as he stared into his glass of red wine, speaking in a murmuring tone as if lost in thought.
