Chapter 315: Completely Speechless
Ryan had a liking for charming figures because they were all handsome and knew how to win a girl's favor, understanding what to say to make her happy. This was very important for someone as vain as Ryan.
Ryan didnât care about any depth or substance; as long as a man looked good and knew how to please her, that was enough. She behaved like a queen, playing with the hearts of men.
However, Zhao Hai clearly did not catch her eye. Although Zhao Hai was considered handsome, he was not at a level that could stir her heart.
Zhao Hai was also looking at Ryan. He had heard of his former fiancée for a long time, but today was the first time he saw her in person. Undeniably, Ryan was a beauty, with long brown hair, fair skin, and brightly colored clothes, sitting there like a beautiful flower.
But Zhao Hai didnât like such women; they were too flamboyant and too arrogant. Although she was pretty, she always gave off an air of arrogance and frivolity, which made her unappealing to Zhao Hai.
Laura was also looking at Ryan. However, Laura and Ni'er had met Ryan before. Ryan was a prominent figure in Casa City, and the two had some interactions, but their personalities didnât match, so they never developed a deeper relationship.
Zhao Hai did not take the initiative to greet Ryan but turned to Xu Wanying instead. Xu Wanying immediately understood Zhao Haiâs intention and walked up to him, saying, âYoung master, the people at the hotel just mentioned that Princess Ryan came to visit you but didnât want to disturb you, so sheâs waiting for you in the restaurant. This is Princess Ryan.â He pointed at Ryan.
At first glance, this statement seemed insignificant, but it clearly elevated Zhao Haiâs status. Xu Wanying said that Ryan came to visit Zhao Hai and didnât want to disturb him, implying that she was waiting for him, rather than saying Ryan wanted to see Zhao Hai and expected him to come to the restaurant to meet her.
As soon as Xu Wanying finished speaking, a buzz spread through the restaurant. Everyone there understood what kind of person Ryan was; she was someone who cared greatly about her image. Now, with Xu Wanyingâs words, it felt as though she was the one seeking an audience with Zhao Hai, which she could hardly tolerate.
Sure enough, upon hearing Xu Wanyingâs words, Ryanâs expression darkened significantly. She snorted coldly, slammed the Kaya Cup in her hand onto the table, and instantly, the restaurant fell silent. Everyone looked at Zhao Hai and his group with eyes full of intrigue.
They had already regarded Zhao Hai and his companions as those unknown nobles trying to flaunt their status. Nobles always positioned themselves above commoners to showcase their superiority. However, this method was clearly unsuitable when dealing with Ryan.
In the Versailles Principality, Ryan was a princess. Disrespecting her on her own turf was indeed unwise.
However, Zhao Hai didnât care about that. He felt that Xu Wanyingâs words were very well said. He wasnât in the mood to worry about Ryanâs feelings. His current identity was that of an audacious young noble. If he acted too normal, it would raise suspicions.
Zhao Hai nodded and turned to Ryan, saying, âMay I ask what your highness the princess wishes to see me about?â
Seeing Zhao Haiâs disrespectful demeanor, Ryanâs face turned ashen as she said, âYou are Wells?â
Zhao Hai nodded and replied, âI am Wells.â
Ryan slammed her hand on the table and exclaimed, âImpertinent! Do you dare to treat me with such disrespect?â
Zhao Hai pretended to be curious, looking at Ryan and saying, âIs this considered disrespect? First, I am not a citizen of the Versailles Principality. Second, I am a mage, and I have the right to know what your highness wants from me.â
Ryanâs face turned pale with anger. She glared at Zhao Hai and said, âYou arrogant mage, donât forget, you are still on the land of the Versailles Principality. How dare you be so disrespectful to me? Do you want to die?â
