HRPM – Chapter 148 Are you here to cause trouble? (3)

Her unspoken meaning was: I’m injured, got it? An injured person should be treated with warm, spring-like care—you two should be properly attending to me.

“Hmph, I’ve never seen such an overbearing patient. When girls get hurt, don’t they usually lie in bed, looking pale and delicate, waiting for a man to comfort them? Luoluo, can’t you act a bit more like a girl and just lie quietly in bed to recover?”

Xiao Yu stared at Jin Luoluo’s plaster-wrapped appearance with a strange expression.

Her left hand was wrapped in layers of white bandages, and her right leg was also bound up in thick strips.

Altogether, she looked indescribably odd—like some kind of alien.

“If you go out looking like this, aren’t you afraid of scaring children? Anyone who sees you would do a double take. Don’t girls usually want others to see their beautiful side? Like my sister, Princess Rouran—when she’s sick, she would never let a man see her looking unwell.”

“Why?” Jin Luoluo asked, puzzled, tilting her head as she lazily propped her injured leg on a low stool.

Xiao Che frowned, his gaze dropping to Jin Luoluo’s raised leg. Was this woman really a woman?

If it weren’t for her curvy figure, he would have suspected she was a man—a crude one at that. After all, he could never bring himself to make such an improper gesture.

How could a woman lift her leg like that in front of men? She looked like an ill-mannered wild girl.

That posture was simply too unsightly.

Xiao Che felt his anger rising again. Everything about Jin Luoluo—her words and behavior—constantly overturned his usual image of women, shocking him again and again. He couldn’t help but mock her:

“Women all want to present their most beautiful side in front of men, because no man likes to see a woman’s unattractive side. If men see that, it leaves a bad impression, and naturally they won’t like that girl. A woman who is gentle and considerate is charming. Someone like you, who behaves so improperly, is far from being an ideal woman.”

Seeing his disapproving gaze fall on her leg, Jin Luoluo knew he was mocking her for being rough and unladylike.

She became even more defiant, stretching her leg out further and lounging crookedly in the cushioned chair.

She was determined to annoy that jinx to death—who was he, an outsider, to criticize her behavior?
