Venerable Demon King & The Doting Immortal (QT)-Chapter 189: Dating app discovered

Su Bei’s shoulders slumped in disappointment. He had hoped for more, especially since Xiang Yu was exactly his type. With a nod, he accepted the rejection gracefully, though his heart felt a pang of regret. Xiang Yu watched him leave, feeling a mix of relief and irritation.

Soon, Xiang Yu walked out of the bathroom, his steps measured and composed, with the blushing Su Bei trailing behind him. Xiang Yu had already bid Su Bei a polite goodbye, but Su Bei, lost in his thoughts, subconsciously followed. As Xiang Yu approached his table, he noticed his unintended shadow and turned around, his expression calm but questioning. "Is there anything else?" he asked.

Su Bei, realizing he had been following without thinking, turned beet red. "So sorry, I didn’t mean to," he stammered, stepping back hastily. In his flustered state, he nearly collided with a waiter carrying a tray of dishes.

"Watch out," Xiang Yu said, his reflexes quick as he pulled Su Bei out of harm’s way. Su Bei found himself pressed against Xiang Yu’s chest, his heart pounding. It felt like a scene straight out of a romantic drama where the hero saves the beauty. His cheeks flushed a deep crimson.

Xiang Yu quickly let go, his expression neutral. Su Bei bowed, thanking him profusely, while the waiter apologised for the near mishap. Xiang Yu returned to his table, his mind already shifting to how he would handle the situation with the pair.

Lian looked up as he sat down. "Master, I almost thought you fell into the toilet. You took too long," she teased.

Han Zhan, having witnessed the scene with Su Bei, smirked. "Did you meet someone on the way?" he asked, his tone playful.

Xiang Yu ignored Han Zhan’s comment and instead pulled out his phone. "Is this you?" he asked, showing the screen to Lian and Mei.

Lian and Mei exchanged guilty glances. "..." They had indeed installed the app and answered all the questions, with a little help from Little Bai. Little Bai, feeling the weight of Xiang Yu’s gaze, wished the ground would swallow him whole.

Han Zhan, curious, reached for the phone. "What’s that?" he asked, taking it before Xiang Yu could react. "Ohhh, you had so many matches. Wait, is this a—"

Before he could finish, Han Xin snatched the phone from him. "Don’t be childish," Han Xin said coldly, locking the phone and handing it back to Xiang Yu. His voice sent a chill all over Han Zhan’s body. Damn, his cousin could be scary when he wanted to.

Xiang Yu’s expression was stern as he addressed the table. "Because of that, you lost your right to dessert."

The twins immediately protested. "Master, there is no need to be so strict," Mei pleaded, her eyes wide with dismay.

"But Master, you said that we should look for a new boyfriend for you," Lian added, her voice a whisper but loud enough for everyone to hear.

Han Zhan, never one to miss an opportunity, chimed in with a smirk. "Ohhh, you had a boyfriend before?"

Xiang Yu ignored Han Zhan’s comment and reached across the table, taking the tiramisu from in front of Lian and the cheesecake from in front of Mei. He then turned his attention to Little Bai, who was trying to make himself as inconspicuous as possible, his head lowered as he ate his ice cream.

"You," Xiang Yu said, his voice firm. "Did you help them?"

Little Bai, feeling the weight of Xiang Yu’s gaze, pushed his ice cream over with a guilty conscience. "You were involved, weren’t you?" Xiang Yu asked.

Little Bai bit his lower lip and nodded slightly, fearing the worst. He was terrified that Xiang Yu might be so angry that he would kick him out of the apartment. To his surprise, Xiang Yu’s response was different.

"Okay, I see you were all plotting against me. Here, eat the tiramisu and cheesecake as punishment," Xiang Yu said, his tone still stern but with a hint of irony.

Little Bai felt a chill run down his spine as he saw the twins glaring at him, their eyes promising retribution if he dared to eat the desserts. But compared to the twins, Little Bai was more afraid of Xiang Yu, so he quickly ate the tiramisu and cheesecake, trying to ignore the daggers being stared into his back.

After dinner, the six of them entered the elevator. Han Zhan suggested they take a walk outside to help with digestion. However, as soon as they stepped out, a violent wind whipped around them, bringing in stormy clouds.

Han Zhan stopped, puzzled. "Huh, I thought it wouldn’t rain this week," he muttered, looking up at the darkening sky.

The group stood there for a moment, the wind tugging at their clothes. This weather truly had mood swings.

Han Xin’s voice cut through the growing tension. "Let’s go to the car," he said, his tone calm and authoritative. Everyone quickly piled into the vehicle, finding their places as the rain began to fall more heavily. The large droplets pelted the car, creating a rhythmic drumming on the roof. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

Xiang Yu, sitting in the front passenger seat, glanced sideways at Han Xin as they drove away. Despite Han Xin’s impassive expression, Xiang Yu sensed something was off. He couldn’t quite put his finger on it, but the air felt charged with unspoken tension.

"Thanks for taking us to dinner," Xiang Yu said, his voice breaking the silence.

Han Xin responded with a soft hum, his eyes fixed on the road ahead. He didn’t elaborate, and the silence resumed, filled only by the sound of the rain.

When the car finally stopped in front of the tattoo parlour, Xiang Yu turned to the others. "Say thanks to Uncle Han for dinner," he instructed.

As Xiang Yu opened the door and dashed out into the rain, Lian followed suit, calling out, "Thank you, Uncle! The food was yummy!"

Mei echoed her sister’s sentiments. "Uncle, you are so nice," she said before running after Lian into the tattoo parlour.

Little Bai, always polite, said, "Thank you so much," and hurried out, leaving Han Zhan and Han Xin alone in the car.

Han Zhan climbed over the backseat to join Han Xin in the front. But before he could settle in, Han Xin’s voice stopped him. "No, stay back there," he said, his tone leaving no room for argument.

Han Zhan paused, a look of confusion crossing his face. "..." He didn’t argue but obediently stayed at the back as they drove off.
