Chapter 517 - I SHALL BE HER PRINCE
LUO YAN, Luo Jin, and Yu Jiao were having lunch at their usual little restaurant. Because of that incident yesterday, a lot of gossip was circling around. Some were about Yu Jiao being friends with the Luo brothers. But most of it was about Mo Jian.
They talked about how she was actually such a mean girl. That they couldn't believe that she would bully her own stepsister. They even dug up all her previous misconducts against other scholarship students. They persecuted her for it.
Which Luo Yan found very hypocritical. After all, when Mo Jian was doing all that, they didn't do anything. They probably even 'support' this bullying by either not doing anything or doing just a tad bit to aide with the said bullying. The only reason they were going after her now was because they, the Luo brothers, were involved. Between them and Mo Jian, it was quite obvious who they would choose.
Not that he felt pity for her. Especially knowing how she had been treating Yu Jiao. This could only be considered as karma.
One of the downsides of that incident was that his and Yu Jiao's classmates were suddenly hounding the two of them, asking them if they could also join them for lunch. It took a lot of his acting power just to prevent that from happening.
So, now, it was still only the three of them in this little restaurant.
"Jiao Jiao, did that Mo Jian go to your dormitory room again?" he asked.
"No," Yu Jiao answered and she was truly relieved for that.
After that incident yesterday and then the call she had with her mother last night, she's not sure of what she would do if ever Mo Jian tried to do the same thing today. She might just really lose it.
Luo Yan nodded. "You should not let yourself be too stressed about that stepsister of yours. I'm sure she had already learned her lesson."
With his threat yesterday, he was sure that it would take quite a while before she made her move again. Maybe she wouldn't even have a chance to do any 'move' at all. Because his older brother would definitely see to it. He was confident that Luo Ren could do it.
Luo Jin, who was eating silently, also thought the same. Especially after that little 'interrogation' his eldest brother did last night. After he told him in detail what happened during lunch yesterday, his brother just had that scheming look on his face. And he just knew that the other already had a plan in mind. It actually made him realized that his two brothers were more alike than he thought.
Yu Jiao, on the other hand, was not so sure as Luo Yan. She knew Mo Jian. That girl would definitely not give up that easily. But that's okay. She's not the same as before. Or at least, she hoped so. She was at least confident that she wouldn't let Mo Jian push her around anymore that easily.
She looked at Luo Yan and smiled a bit. These small changes that she had was all due to the other. If not for his little nudge here and there, she would probably still be the same easy to bully person that she had been her entire life.
As she was looking at her friend, she suddenly remembered something. That secret of the captain of Yunyue that she accidentally discovered. Because of all the things that happened yesterday, she totally forgot about it. But now that her mind was much clearer, it just came to her again.
She was suddenly glad for the incident yesterday. Because if not for that, she would probably feel awkward facing Luo Yan. Because she would just continuously think about the feelings of Yunyue's captain for him. That one-day delay actually helped in calming down her reaction.
Which was a good thing because Luo Yan would definitely notice that there was something wrong with her. If he asked her, she definitely wouldn't know how to answer. Knowing herself, she might just reveal Shen Ji Yun's secret to Luo Yan. Which she didn't want to happen. After all, it was about a person's feelings towards another. It's not her place to reveal that to the recipient of those feelings.
As they were eating, Luo Yan's phone suddenly rang. He looked at the name of the caller ID. When he saw that it was his older brother, he quickly answered it.
"Brother?"
"Yan Yan, did Jiao Jiao's stepsister bother her today?"
Luo Yan almost smirked. If he didn't know long before about the other's feelings for Yu Jiao, he would definitely know that now hearing him immediately asked about her instead of him.
"No," he answered.
"I have already seen to it that she will no longer bother Jiao Jiao. So, please, tell her not to worry too much."
Luo Yan was surprised when he heard that. "It seemed that Brother is really fast on his feet."
"Of course. This involves Jiao Jiao's physical and mental health. I couldn't just sit back and do nothing."
Although he might have been too over the top with regards on how he handled things with Mo Guang Li. After all, the other was still Yu Jiao's stepfather. But if the other chose not to do anything at the end, then Luo Ren would be forced to do what was right. And that was to make sure that Mo Jian wouldn't be able to go near Yu Jiao ever again.
If he ended up doing so, then that just meant that Mo Guang Li didn't deserve the respect that he would give to Yu Jiao's stepfather. After all, him not doing anything meant that he didn't care at all about Yu Jiao or even about her mother.
"Should I mention this to her?" Luo Yan then asked. They both knew who the 'her' he was talking about. Of course, he couldn't just say Yu Jiao's name since the other was just sitting opposite him.
"No, there's no need. I don't want her to think I'm too nosy."
"So, Brother will just be her hidden knight, then?" Luo Yan asked in a teasing tone.
"What knight? Didn't you just say yesterday that she's a princess? Then I shall be her prince."
Luo Yan almost rolled his eyes at that cheesiness.
Unbeknownst to them, right at this moment, a certain topic online had been gaining attention. And it all centered around one individual – a player in Arcadia going by the name of 'Noctis'.
