Chapter 146 - Sister-in-Law is Just a Precious Young Miss
Knock knock knock.
On this day, Zhou Yan and Lu Zhai ca to Lin Fan's front door again and knocked lightly.
A mont later, the door opened. An Yao stood at the entrance, looking at Zhou Yan and Lu Zhai with wariness and confusion.
“Who are you?”
“Uh…”
Seeing the unfamiliar An Yao, Zhou Yan was taken aback. He looked around the hallway and then looked up to confirm the apartnt number.
This is the right place! How is it that every ti I don't co for a while, a different person opens the door?
“Um, we're here to see Lin Fan.”
“You're here to see the De— Lin Fan?”
Hearing this, An Yao gradually recalled the identities of Zhou Yan and Lu Zhai.
When she was secretly observing the Demon Sovereign's ho, she had often seen these two mortals coming and going, so they seed to be his friends.
And one of them was the person whose phone and wallet she had robbed in the underground parking garage.
“Yes. Is he ho?” Zhou Yan asked with a polite smile.
“He's not. He's dead!”
An Yao replied irritably and then slamd the door shut.
“D-Dead…?”
Zhou Yan and Lu Zhai stood dazedly at the door, looking at each other in bewildernt.
It had only been a few days since their last visit, and Lin Fan was... gone, just like that?!
It was too sudden!
“Owww!”
Just as Zhou Yan and Lu Zhai were still in a daze, a girl's pained cry ca from inside, and then the door opened again.
“Yanzi, Ah Zhai, co on in.”
Lin Fan pushed the door open. Beside him, An Yao was crouching on the ground, clutching her head and groaning.
For so casually saying soone was dead, he had, without a second word, given her a 'sugar-fried chestnut' on the head as punishnt.
Hateful Demon Sovereign!
An Yao rubbed the large bump on her head, glaring at Lin Fan through gritted teeth, her small face full of resentnt and dissatisfaction.
“Lin Fan, you're alive?!”
Seeing Lin Fan suddenly appear at the door, Zhou Yan was shocked.
What happened to him being dead?
Lin Fan shot him an irritated look.
“I was never dead. Don't listen to her nonsense.”
“Oh, good.”
Hearing this, Zhou Yan and Lu Zhai breathed a sigh of relief and walked into the apartnt together, greeting Long Yue, who was sitting on the sofa:
“Sister-in-law.”
“You're here. Have a seat.”
Long Yue gestured for the two of them to sit wherever they liked with a beaming smile, then turned her head to An Yao and instructed:
“An Yao, help get the cherries I bought yesterday from the fridge.”
“Yes, Your... Miss!”
An Yao reluctantly nodded in agreent and went to get the cherries from the fridge to wash them in the kitchen.
Although she was unwilling to serve the Demon Sovereign's friends, it was, after all, Her Majesty's command, so she had no choice but to comply.
“Sister-in-law, is she your family's maid?”
Zhou Yan asked curiously, pointing at An Yao washing cherries in the kitchen.
“Uh… I guess so.”
Long Yue said with a sheepish smile.
As the personal handmaiden who had followed her since childhood, calling her a family servant shouldn't be a problem.
“Ooh!”
Zhou Yan showed an 'I-knew-it' expression and triumphantly nudged Lu Zhai beside him.
“See, what did I tell you? Sister-in-law must be the precious young miss of so great family, and you didn't believe .”
Lu Zhai didn't hurry to refute him. Instead, he glanced at Long Yue, then at An Yao, and said faintly:
“It's not like only precious young misses can have maids in their family.”
“If sister-in-law were so 'Empress,' it would also be very normal to have a personal handmaiden by her side, wouldn't it.”
Lin Fan: “…”
Long Yue: “…”
The mont he said this, both Lin Fan's and Long Yue's hearts skipped a beat. They stared nervously at Lu Zhai, who had just spoken so casually, and the atmosphere in the room instantly froze.
This guy's intuition is a little too sharp!
“You're saying those weird things again.”
Zhou Yan glanced at Lu Zhai speechlessly, breaking the tense atmosphere.
“Co on, be a little more realistic, will you? Although sister-in-law is indeed as beautiful as a fairy, how could there really be fairies in this world?”
“You don't really believe that sister-in-law is so kind of Empress, do you?”
As he spoke, Zhou Yan couldn't help but laugh.
Lu Zhai was silent, his expression pensive.
Similarly, neither Lin Fan nor Long Yue could manage a smile.
Seeing that Lu Zhai still seed unconvinced, Zhou Yan continued:
“Alright, let ask you. Have you ever seen an Empress who cooks for herself, buys her own groceries, and works as a virtual strear?”
“Sister-in-law is just the precious young miss of so great family, that's all. Right, sister-in-law?”
With that, Zhou Yan looked to Long Yue for confirmation.
“That's right!”
Long Yue nodded solemnly without a mont's hesitation.
“See? Sister-in-law admitted it herself.”
Having gotten an affirmative answer, Zhou Yan once again turned back to look at Lu Zhai.
“…Alright. Maybe I was overthinking it.”
Lu Zhai also felt that what he said seed to make sense.
If sister-in-law really were so Empress from the Immortal Realm, logically she probably wouldn't be cooking and buying groceries for herself, or working as a virtual strear to earn money. She could solve everything with a single spell. How could she possibly need to do everything herself…
“By the way, is there sothing you two ca for today?”
Lin Fan quickly took the opportunity to change the subject.
“It's nothing much. The police just called over again, so I thought I'd stop by to see you and sister-in-law,” Zhou Yan said.
“The police called you?”
Lin Fan was secretly alard and furtively glanced at An Yao in the kitchen.
“Is there any progress in the case?”
“No.”
Zhou Yan shook his head helplessly.
“The police said the culprit is very cunning and has completely vanished recently, and hasn't committed any more cris.”
“It's highly likely they realized the police were after them and have already fled. They probably won't be able to catch them for the ti being.”
Hearing this, the great stone hanging in Long Yue's heart was set down, and she subconsciously blurted out:
“That's good…”
“Hmm?”
Zhou Yan and Lu Zhai heard this and looked up at Long Yue with confusion.
Long Yue snapped back to her senses, realized she had let it slip, and quickly corrected herself:
“I an… to just let her get away like that, what a pity!”
“Exactly! I was just completely unprepared before, that's why they were able to ambush !”
“If I run into them again, I'll definitely use the grappling techniques I just learned to take them down in one go!”
“I'll let them know who they can rob and who they can't!”
Zhou Yan said indignantly, gesticulating wildly as if demonstrating the moves.
“Sir, have so cherries~”
An Yao placed the washed cherries in front of Zhou Yan, the corners of her mouth twitching in a sneer.
His words, to her ears, sounded like a three-year-old baby standing in front of her, saying in a childish voice that he was going to beat her up...
“Thanks.”
Zhou Yan gave a casual thanks, picked up a cherry and popped it in his mouth, and then happened to turn his head and see An Yao standing beside Long Yue.
An Yao noticed his gaze and once again gave him a aningful, teasing smile.
Zhou Yan's face flushed, and he quickly looked away, muttering to himself:
Why does this woman keep smiling at ? Don't tell she's taken a fancy to ?
It seems my handso looks are finally starting to have an effect!
It's just that for so reason, he always feels like he's seen this woman sowhere before. He has a sense of déjà vu…
