HRPM – Chapter 218 The Vixen Comes to Challenge (3)

“Of course she won’t embarrass me, because she simply doesn’t have the ability to. But you say she knows moderation? Pah! A woman who dared bring her maidservants to my residence just to show off and throw her weight around — and you call that moderation? If she counts as restrained, then I, Jin Luoluo, am a saint!”

Jin Luoluo found it amusing. That woman had deliberately come to her doorstep to provoke her, and this was supposed to be “knowing moderation”? Right now she was clearly trying to make her lose face.

Could it be that this jinx hadn’t even properly understood the woman he liked?

But that was hardly surprising. In ancient times men and women had limited contact, and whenever they met they always wore perfect masks for one another. That was why all those so-called love-at-first-sight romances were often unreliable — once they got married and truly met face-to-face every day, all the fantasies vanished.

People’s ideal lovers were usually built entirely from their own imagination. The jinx had probably also mistaken Yang Ruoyao’s pretentious act for something beautiful, like admiring flowers through a fog.

“You said she went to your residence? When did that happen?” Xiao Che asked sharply, his eyes darkening.

Jin Luoluo looked surprised. “Two days ago. Don’t tell me she didn’t complain to you about it? That’s rare. Though I guess if it were me, I’d also be too embarrassed to mention something that humiliating.”

“What exactly happened?”

Jin Luoluo’s eyes darted around. If she told Xiao Che what had happened that day, then once he learned she had dared bully the woman he loved, he would definitely dislike her even more.

And wouldn’t that make breaking off the engagement much more likely?

So Jin Luoluo spilled everything that had happened that day like beans pouring from a jar. The more Xiao Che listened, the darker his expression became, and the look in his eyes turned increasingly unreadable.

Jin Luoluo assumed he must be furious, so she deliberately provoked him further.

“Jinx, I wasn’t joking when I said those things. What I did to her two days ago was just an appetizer. If I ever marry you in the future, I’ll serve her a full-course feast. Hmph! Just like I said before, as long as I, Jin Luoluo, remain in the prince’s residence, Yang Ruoyao can forget about ever stepping through its gates.”

“Every time I see her, I’ll sweep that little fox spirit right out the door again, and I’ll torment her until even her own mother won’t recognize her. If you want to be with your beloved, then don’t drag me into this mess. Otherwise we’ll fight to the bitter end. If you refuse to let me go, then I won’t let the two of you have peace either.”

“Jin Luoluo, if you keep acting this arrogantly, I…” Xiao Che stopped halfway, then sighed. “Forget it. We’ll discuss this matter later. Right now, you should focus your energy on dealing with everyone else trying to make things difficult for you.”
