HRPM – Chapter 317 She Was Drugged

Lan Cangxuan was curious as well. He had never been in the habit of receiving gifts from girls, so he had no idea what might be inside.

He took out an exquisitely embroidered little pouch. It was beautifully made, and everyone at the table craned their necks to stare at it, speculating about what romantic or suggestive item it might contain.

Unable to suppress his curiosity, Lan Cangxuan opened it. Inside was a paper flower. It was beautifully crafted and carried a faint fragrance. He found it strange that Jin Luoluo would give him such a thing.

One of his subordinates covered his mouth and laughed. “Young Master, it seems Miss Luoluo may have a thing for you. Though isn’t it usually men who give flowers to women? Miss Luoluo is certainly unique. Still, I think you’d prefer a set of knives or weapons more than flowers.”

Another person teased, “Come on, a gift depends on who’s giving it. When it’s from a woman, it carries a completely different meaning.”

“You’re all overthinking it. That woman is practically invulnerable—how could she develop an interest in a man so easily?” Although Lan Cangxuan could not claim to know Jin Luoluo well, he knew she was not the type to act frivolously. There had to be something unusual about this flower.

He noticed a corner of black writing on the side of the flower and immediately unfolded it. With a soft puff, a cloud of powder floated into the air.

Lan Cangxuan instantly felt a strange fragrance rush into his nose. Soon afterward, his body began to heat up. Waves of warmth surged across his skin. His face turned red, and even the tips of his ears grew hot.

The subordinates at the table were alarmed. One of them, who knew a little medicine, hurried over and checked his pulse.

“Young Master, what’s wrong? That Jin Luoluo actually used such a method to harm you!” someone exclaimed angrily.

The man who understood medicine shook his head, looking somewhat embarrassed.

“Young Master is fine.”

“But my whole body feels unbearably hot. What exactly have I been poisoned with?” Lan Cangxuan, still a virgin, had no idea what such symptoms implied.

The man taking his pulse suppressed a laugh and said, “Uh, Young Master, don’t panic. You’ve only been affected by an aphrodisiac…”

The moment he said it, all the subordinates burst into laughter.

Only Lan Cangxuan sat there, his face alternating between red and dark with anger, cursing Jin Luoluo repeatedly under his breath.

Meanwhile, everyone else continued joking and laughing uproariously.
