The Reincarnated Minister's Second Daughter Wants To Live A Happy Life - Chapter 23

Chapter 23

Daisy walked past the two men and towards the door. Without looking back, she headed straight for the restroom. 

‘Oh my, I think my gallbladder is almost exploding.’ 

At the seat of honor, she let out all the toxins inside her body. 

Unaware of what was happening inside the room she had just left, Daisy happily washed her hands and went to the cafeteria. Because it was time for lunch, she was starving and thinking of eating lunch with Camille. 

“Hmm, where is she…? Oh, Camille!” 

She proceeded to sit down beside Camille and started eating, completely ignoring what had just transpired before. 

Back in the room, the spectators and the two guys stood there feeling ridiculous about themselves. The topic of their conversation just casually went out and left them behind. What could be the meaning of this? 

“Oh, it seems like my Daisy is not satisfied with just being friends. You’re a pitiful man.” 

It was Lawrence who came back to his senses first. When he opened his mouth, it sounded like he was concerned, but he was also openly blatantly mocking Caspian. 

Caspian thought about it, and Daisy coincidentally went out after he said that they were friends. 

‘Did she go out because of that?’ 

The spectators started to disperse one by one. In the end, Caspian was the only one left – 

“You should go after her!” 

No, there was another person named Judy. The mentioned classmate was looking at Caspian with twinkling eyes. It was as if she enjoyed the show to a point where she was addicted. 

‘A love triangle! The classic bad boy versus good boy! Who would win? Ah, my heart can’t just take it!’ 

Judy couldn’t help but squeal at that thought. Caspian ignored her and walked out of the room. By this time, Daisy would be at the cafeteria and already eating. 

Upon arriving at the cafeteria, he quickly spotted Daisy happily eating with Camille. He made his way in their direction but was surprised to see another person eating with them. It wasn’t a good sight to look at. 

“What are you doing here?” 

“I should be the one asking you that. Why are you here?” 

The two guys started staring at each other again. When she saw the same scene from the room earlier, Daisy had a headache. 

She thought she should go back earlier because it seemed to be about her. However, upon thinking she wasn’t ready to be the talk of the town, she decided not to go back and eat lunch. After all, eating lunch is better than being the talk of the town. 

Now that she sees that same situation, she couldn’t help but massage her temples. Beside her, Camille was excited, unlike her. 

“Eh? Daisy, you never told me you have handsome men courting you at school!” 

“What…?” 

“Caspian and Lawrence!” 

“You knew him!” 

“Of course, ah!” 

“…” 

Ah, I forgot my friend is the type of person who knows every handsome man present in this world. 

“Thank you for knowing me. Nice to meet you.” 

Lawrence stretched his hand for a handshake to Camille, which she readily agreed to and shook hands with him. 

“Move out there.” 

“Hey man, I was the first one who sat here. How can you kick me out? Besides, I just started eating with these two beautiful ladies ah.” 

“Move.” 

“Just sit down.” 

Daisy couldn’t take it anymore and told Caspian to sit down. Caspian rolled his eyes first before taking a seat beside Lawrence, to which the latter just smirked. 

“Oh, you’re here too? Can I sit down with you?” 

It was none other than Gabriel who kept on pestering Daisy for the past two weeks. 

After they passed their samples, it only took two days for Mr. Isaac to give them the results. The three of them were asked to compete in the school’s conference that will be held in less than a month from now. Since then, Gabriel has been bothering Daisy to practice with him. 

[Why don’t you practice with Caspian?]

[He?]

[Hmm. He’s better than me.]

[But he’s scary. Daisy, please mentor me.]

[No.]

[I–]

[Shut up.]

Caspian’s cold voice made shivers run down Gabriel’s spine. He instantly shut his mouth and trudged toward Daisy, fearing that Caspian would hit him. 

Now, he’s here to pester Daisy once again. Caspian looked at him with a frown. But that wasn’t enough to stop him. He quickly sat down beside Daisy and put down his tray. Then he put his usual charming smile on his face. 

“Let’s eat!” 

He’s as lively as ever. 

Daisy shook her head and focused on her food. Anything can wait, food cannot. 

“Ah, I have many competitors. This makes the game more interesting.” 

Lawrence casually said as he stabbed the meat with his fork. His lips were still curved into a smile, but there was an obvious annoyance and impatience in his eyes. 

Caspian stopped eating and put down his utensils. 

“Do you think I am your opponent?” 

“Ah, to hear this question from the man who almost killed me with his glare earlier. That’s funny.” 

“Do you think you can win against me?” 

“To whom is that question directed? To me? Or… to yourself?” 

This b*st*rd.

Caspian clenched his fists under the table. He avoided Lawrence’s eyes and looked at Daisy. The other person was also staring at him, with eyes asking him what was happening. 

‘Why did this guy happen to have that p*nk’s face? Disgusting.’ 

Caspian kept thinking how he was always compared to that ‘flower man’ whenever he patrolled the capital. He never said anything, but it was apparent how much he hated it every time. 

“Bro, I am not your opponent. Let’s be friends instead!” 

“I like that about you, bro!” 

Lawrence and Gabriel quickly got acquainted with each other and shook hands. It was more like Gabriel had no choice but to immediately surrender from whatever game Lawrence was talking about. 

Daisy was wondering if the three of them had not drank their medicine today. Why are they acting strange? 

But Camille was wholly enjoying the scene before her. Three guys are fighting over my best friend? Who should I give my vote to? Personally, I like Caspian for Daisy, and she also seemed to have good feelings for him. But these two other guys aren’t bad at all as well. 

She was already weaving a sobby romance about the four of them in her head. At the same time, the person in question isn’t aware at all, completely playing the oblivious female lead she is. 

“Bro, are you a second year from the engineering department?” 

“Man, you know a lot. I like you more and more.” 

“The saying, ‘Engineering students are handsome men,’ seems true, bro.” 

“Hmph, if you are only looking for men with good looks, our department is not lacking in any of them!” 

Lawrence openly boasted about their department. Caspian’s knuckles turned white as time went by. 

“What is a second-year student from the department of engineering doing here and trying to hook up with a first-year student from the department of fine arts?” 

Lawrence smirked. You’re a tough guy, aren’t you? 

“Man, you can’t find love if you don’t search for it. As for me, I met the love I am looking for, and that is this beautiful girl eating with me.” 

Who is eating with you? We are five on this table! 

Daisy choked on her food and quickly drank water. She almost spat out the food from her mouth to the person in front of her, which was Lawrence – no, she wanted to do that but didn’t for the sake of peace. 

Caspian no longer talked. He grabbed his food tray and stood up, intending to go. But before he walked away, he turned his head to Daisy and said, 

“Don’t forget later at the library.” 

Then he went away and didn’t look back again. He was annoyed for some reason. He didn’t give Daisy the chance to ask him about that. She only remembered it when Gabriel nudged her. 

“Later, we would be at the library with other journalism club members.” 

“Ahh….” 

I thought it was something else. 

Daisy nodded her head and quickly finished her food. For some reason, she doesn’t want to stay in the cafeteria anymore without Caspian. 

“What’s the hurry, my beautiful lady?” 

“Sorry, I have to go.” 

Daisy quickly dragged Gabriel and Camille outside the cafeteria. 

“Why did you go out quickly? You should take this chance to get to know him better.” 

“I don’t want to.” 

“Why?” 

“Just.” 

Daisy shrugged her shoulders. Even though that guy named Lawrence had the face of Fu Qing, he was nowhere near him. 

She thought that she would feel something else from seeing his face. But as she spent more time with him, the more she realized that he was nothing more than someone with the same face as Fu Qing she once liked. She also felt that he sounds more like a playboy who is likely playing with her than a romantic. 

Left alone, Lawrence ruffled his hair in annoyance. 

“Aish, this is pissing me off!”
