Picked up a Demon King to be a Maid

Chapter 473: Feeling That Won’t Disappear

Claire suddenly noticed Lin Xiao trying to slip away and quickly pushed the people aside to catch up to him and stopped him before he could leave.

Lin Xiao, dont go!

Claire, right

Lin Xiao knew who was behind him without turning around and wanted to ignore her.

If Lin Xiao responded, the two next to him wouldnt be happy, but it couldnt be helped, Claire already ran behind him and even clapped his shoulder, so he couldnt pretend he didnt hear.

So, Lin Xiao could only reluctantly turn around to see that handsome tomboy.

Claire, um the meeting is over and my parts done, so Im not going to bother you anymore.

Are you leaving?

Yeah.

In such a hurry?

Hm, we still have some things to do, so hehe.

Okay, I wont stop you if you want to leave but can you wait for a bit?

Do you still need something else?

I just have some things I want to say.

Uh

When Lin Xiao heard that, he had a bad feeling and wanted to leave, but he couldnt bear to bluntly reject her, so he agreed.

Its just a few words, it shouldnt be too much trouble, right?

Although that may be the case, but who knows what shes planning? ShenDai Ying was the first to be against it! Just as she wanted to say something to get Claire to back off, her mouth was blocked by someone else.

Shut up!

Elena covered ShenDai Yings mouth and dragged her away by her arm.

Hurry up and take care of it, well wait for you.

As expected of his favorite maid, shell always stand on her masters side when it comes to it and understands what he needs.

Okay Claire, go ahead.

Um hehe, what did I want to say again?

When Claire was suddenly faced with Lin Xiao, she didnt know what to do and looked left and right in a panic and suddenly noticed Barrett, Taike and the others trying to shift closer to try and eavesdrop. So Claire glared at them and they all scattered and went back to talking amongst themselves.

After clearing the hindrances, they were the only two left at the entrance and she could freely speak but still found it hard to speak.

Lin Xiaos lips were still a bit swollen, and as the culprit, she didnt know what to say.

Should she say, Lin Xiao, marry me! Ill take responsibility and give you a lifetime of happiness! like a prince would to a princess?

Those words suited her, but she still couldnt say them.

Claire, dont worry, we can just pretend nothing happened earlier.

The first person to break the silence was Lin Xiao.

The situation was critical at the time and at a moment of life and death you made a mistake and accidentally did strange things to me, i-its understandable.

A mistake, understandable, is it

Claire repeated Lin Xiaos words and it was like she understood something.

So Claire, you dont have to mind it. Although some people saw you bite me uh no, kiss me, but as long as we dont admit it, even if it rumors get out, it wont affect your reputation.

Un, I understand.

Caring about her reputation even at a time like this, he was gentle as expected, but Claire would rather not have it!

Claire? W-why do you look like that? Ha, speaking of which, were friends, right?

Just friends? Claire paused and looked right into Lin Xiaos eyes and finally spoke, You saved my life, twice, and even saved my country Lin Xiao, youre my savior!

Uh I just saved you in passing, even if it wasnt you, I would still help.

Really?

Of course, heh.

Would he really help if it were anyone else?

Peh! Of course not, if Elena heard, she would call him a big fat liar. With his personality how could he bother to help anyone else?

If was because of Claires courage and persistence, if it were anyone else, theres no way he would help them multiple times. He might not have romantic feelings for Claire, but she wasnt just anybody!

So Claire, dont worry and you dont have to treat me as a savior and you dont have to think about repaying me, just treat me like a good friend.

N-not just friends!

As Claire watched Lin Xiao bring the topic further away, she could only try saying what she was feeling!

Lin Xiao! Actually, I actually!! I, I I like like

Claire clenched her fists and squeezed out the words one by one.

Looking at her timid manner, even if she didnt finish her sentence, Lin Xiao already understood. Though he did, the problem was that he couldnt respond!

If Claire actually said it, Lin Xiao couldnt give her an answer she would be satisfied with and would only leave her hurt But Lin Xiao was soft and he couldnt bear to see a girl cry

So he chose to make her give up

Sigh. Lin Xiao sighed and patted Claires head.

Claire, dont say anymore, you need to calm down.

Eh?

Youve never been in a relationship, right?

Un.

Although she didnt understand what Lin Xiao intended, she still honestly nodded. Shes never even liked a guy, let alone been in a relationship. Lin Xiao was the first.

Claire, if Im not wrong, your ideal partner should be a tall and reliable manly man, right?

Hm yes.

But Im not that kind of man, and I cant be who you rely on. Claire, I still have two women Im responsible for, so I cant give you any promises, do you understand?

I, I dont understand Lin Xiao, what are you trying to say?

Sigh, what I want to say is Claire, youll meet someone better. Youre too emotional right now, youll understand after calming down, Im not your best choice.

Claire understood Lin Xiao was trying to say that she was just acting impulsively and would realize that Lin Xiao wasnt for her after calming down and those feelings were fake!

Fake?

No, Claire doesnt agree with that!

But Lin Xiao, if I waited until I calmed down and I still feel that way, at that time would you come back to make up for it!?

No, I would be gone.

How do you know? No! No! Lin Xiao, answer me! If I waited for a long long time and those feelings still havent disappeared, what should I do? At that time, would you give me an answer Ill be satisfied with?

I

Lin Xiao was speechless against Claires questioning and didnt bother continuing and waved goodbye to her, then turned to leave.

Well talk about what will happen later when it happens Im leaving.

Lin Xiao, dont go Lin Xiao, Lin Xiao!!!
