Chapter 95: Chapter 95: Noah's Sudden Change In Demeanor!
Feeling the sudden chill down her spine, Yu Ming gulped her saliva down and turned her head away from Xin Yan. She could feel her scalp going numb under her sharp eyes, those eyes reminded her of someone else.
The only person she feared and still does after the death of her father.
Unknown to herself, Yu Ming had instinctively straightened her posture from a seductive one to a graceful one. As if it was engraved in her bones to act like that under that kind of gaze.
She chuckled to cover her anxiety and put on a calm demeanor. Taking out a pot of tea from her storage ring, she passed it to Noah and Xin Yan, while pouring one for herself. She really needed a good tea to calm her nerves.
"Fufu~ Indeed, I am impressed how mature you are for your age."
Noah merely smiled at her flattery and did not take it to heart, he could see that she was trying to cover up her emotions.
While seeing Noah not reacting to her sweet words, Yu Ming decided to get to the point and talk about the reason she had called them there for.
"The reason I asked you to have this meeting was because I wanted to ask If you would be willing to sell the courtyard you had purchased recently. I just arrived in this city, so I need a place to stay here for a couple of months. I would be more than happy to compensate you with a courtyard of similar quality."
"Miss Yu Ming, The reason we bought the place was the same as you are asking for it. There is no better place than this one. We also do not plan to stay here for a long time."
Noah replied calmly while taking a sip of the tea. when saw that Yu Ming did not want to pressurize them with her power and was looking for a deal, Noah also did not take any rash actions.
He scoffed inwardly when she said she would give them a courtyard of similar quality because she did not mention the appearance and location of the place, which were the most important thing about that house.
He once again took a sip of the bittersweet tea. As the tea passed through his system, Noah felt a calming sensation washing over his whole body.
'These tea leaves are really expensive and good. I should ask Elysia to get some for us, she might even find some better ones.'
"Indeed, what you said is reasonable." Yu Ming sighed as she heard Noah's argument. She started thinking of other measures but then a thought flashed her mind.
'Didn't Ma Ning say that there are 3 rooms in that place and there are just Two of them. I just have to make him stay with them in the third room. With my strength even if the boy tried anything funny, he would suffer under my hands…'
Yu Ming's eyes flashed with a clever light as she looked at Noah. She reclined back and sensually crossed one leg over the other.
'Tch! Does this boy swing other way or something?'
She wanted to use a little seduction to make the boy agree to let her stay with him. To her surprise, Noah's eyes never left her own, they were just like a still lake containing tranquility within them.
It was like there was nothing she could offer that would tempt the boy. Secretly gritting her teeth, Yu Ming decided to use a more direct approach.
"Young Master Long, If I may, can you allow me to live in the spare room of that estate. I can even pay the rent double the market price."
Seeing the pleading tone along with her pitiful expression, Noah could not help but click his tongue.
'This woman really knows how to manipulate people but it is her bad luck that she tried those things on me. How long has it been since someone dared to manipulate me!'
Noah's eyes flashed with cold light as he leaned back in his seat. With a sly smile on his face, Noah leaned his face on his hand and asked.
"Does Miss Yu Ming think that I lack such a small amount of money?"
His voice, with disdain, shocked everyone in the room. This is the first time Xin Yan and Elysia had seen him act like this. Elysia's hand gripped her chest as she felt the rhythm of her artificial heart increase and turn erratic.
A blush crept on her face as she bit her plump lips.
Xin Yan on the other hand turned back to normal after a moment of shock. She could somehow tell that his arrogance was a facade but the coldness and disdain in his eyes were real.
'This bitch tried to seduce him which made him act like this. So, it turns out he hates being manipulated. Even if it is by a beautiful woman.'
Her own turned cold and a sharp blue light flashed through them making them turn similar to that of a dragon's.
She took a deep breath and managed to restrain herself, her eyes turned back to normal.
'Didn't Noah say that the inherent traits of dragon bloodline won't affect me, so why did I suddenly feel an impulse to kill this woman.'
Unknown to her it was not because of the bloodline that emotions flared.
She just stayed there with a solemn look on her face waiting for Noah's words, ready to act at any time. Her previous gentle aura vanished, replaced with just an emotionless husk of a shell.
Yu Ming was shocked to see that the boy who had been talking to her Politely suddenly changed into something else. From a gentleman he became an arrogant young master in a flash.
His sudden change made her doubt if he was truly a gentleman or was he acting all along. Feeling the disdain in his eyes, she felt a tingling sensation in her lower region but she shook it off as a mere illusion.
"Then would you please tell me what can I do to make you allow me to stay in this place? If it is within my reach I can fulfill the wish."
