HRPM – Chapter 207 It Was Actually Him (4)

After saying that, she even reached out to feel Xiao Luo’s forehead. Normally, Xiao Luo disliked being touched by others, yet this time he did not avoid her. He simply allowed her warm palm to rest on his forehead and slowly closed his eyes.

At once, whispers of criticism rose again around them.

These imperial relatives had never seen a niece-in-law dare to flirt with her uncle-in-law before. It was utterly improper, and even the Empress showed faint displeasure.

Meanwhile, over there, Xiao Che was so furious he was about to explode. What exactly was Jin Luoluo doing? He had told her not to provoke Seventeenth Uncle, yet not only had she openly approached him, she was even flirting with him in front of everyone.

Did she have no regard at all for him or for the dignity of the imperial family?

Sitting not far from Xiao Luo, Xiao Yu felt a trace of bitterness. His joking remark back then had truly become reality — he had once teased Seventeenth Uncle not to set his sights on Jin Luoluo.

But he had never imagined that it would be Jin Luoluo who would set her sights on Seventeenth Uncle.

He watched as Jin Luoluo placed her hand on Seventeenth Uncle’s forehead, and Seventeenth Uncle closed his eyes.

The scene was indescribably beautiful and strangely profound. The subtle atmosphere between the two of them was something no outsider could intrude upon.

If someone claimed there was nothing delicate or ambiguous between them, nobody would believe it.

Yet Seventeenth Uncle clearly did not know Jin Luoluo, and her earlier reaction had made it obvious that she had only just learned Xiao Luo’s identity.

“I don’t have a fever, do I?” Xiao Luo opened his eyes and asked with a smile.

“No fever. Your brain’s just damaged.”

Jin Luoluo angrily flung her hand away, looking utterly wronged as tears streamed dramatically down her face like noodles in the wind.

“So unfair~~ so unfair! We both transmigrated here, so why am I the one getting bullied by your nephews while you get to bully your nephews instead? Heaven is way too biased. Every single time I end up losing to you. I protest!”

“What do you mean by ‘transmigrated here’ and ‘transmigrated there’?”

Xiao Luo was deeply puzzled by her words. She sounded as though she had known him for a very long time.

“Stop pretending. We’ve known each other for years, and now we’ve both ended up stuck in this place, yet you’re still acting clueless. Don’t think you can fool me again. Hmph! Since you transmigrated here too, let’s keep competing. This time, I’m definitely going to beat you.”

Jin Luoluo was bursting with fighting spirit.

Actually, having Su Mo transmigrate here wasn’t such a bad thing. At least she no longer needed to change her life goal — she just had to keep working hard to crush Su Mo beneath her feet.
