Jin Luoluo picked up the phoenix-tailed skirt from the floor and draped it back over herself. Smiling brightly, she revealed her merchant’s true nature:
“Thank you all for supporting Shuang’er. If you think Shuang’er danced reasonably well, then please give Shuang’er a small gift as a keepsake. In the future, whenever I see your gift, it will be like seeing you, and I will surely remember you.”
The beauty’s enchanting smile invigorated the young noblemen more than any divine elixir could have. They immediately ordered their attendants to send all the gifts they had brought that day to Jin Luoluo.
One lavish present after another was delivered onto Xiao Luo’s boat, weighing it down noticeably.
Xiao Luo could not help laughing.
Jin Luoluo probably hadn’t paid any attention to the frenzy she had caused around her.
She had no idea how many men had been utterly captivated by her dance. Of course, her only concern had been collecting more gifts, which was why she had danced so enthusiastically. The girl simply never regarded her own charm as anything special.
“Take your weapons and bring Miss back. Avoid the other pleasure boats as much as possible and make sure she is protected.”
Xiao Luo instructed the guards beside him.
He was meticulous by nature. Even amid such chaos, he observed his surroundings more carefully than anyone else. The young noblemen had become far too obsessed with her.
Once people lost their reason, they could do unimaginable things. Jin Luoluo possessed a charm capable of driving men mad, and he feared that an accident might occur if they were not careful.
“You can let go of me now.”
Xiao Che shook off the guards restraining him.
He was furious beyond measure. Looking at Jin Luoluo’s reaction, she still seemed in the mood to make money. She clearly didn’t think her actions were improper in the slightest.
How could there be such a woman?
She paid no heed to anyone’s opinions, and even less to those of her fiancé.
He was determined to teach her a lesson and make her understand exactly what she had done wrong.
Xiao Yu had already instructed his men to prepare a small boat so they could go and retrieve Jin Luoluo. Although he knew he could do little to control her, he was still greatly annoyed by her behavior.
“Third Brother, let’s go.”
With very different thoughts occupying their minds, the two men boarded the boat, both unable to calm their turbulent emotions.
Suddenly, a shout came from one of the nearby pleasure boats:
“Jin Shuang’er seems to be a girl from Meixiang Pavilion! Whoever can pay ten thousand taels of gold can have her—first come, first served!”
The words landed like a bomb.
In an instant, the entire Blue Moon Lake erupted into chaos.
The young noblemen, who had already been driven nearly mad by Jin Luoluo, immediately began directing their pleasure boats toward the large barge where she had performed.
