Even he began to suspect that something was wrong with him.
Why did he keep thinking about that “ugly girl,” to the point that he had lost interest in the beauties around him?
“Jin Luoluo, how dare you toy with this prince? That day, you deliberately disguised yourself like that to make fools of us?” Xiao Che stared at the dazzlingly beautiful woman before him.
He couldn’t tell whether what he felt was anger or shock—that “ugly monster” had turned out to be this stunning woman.
Her appearance was completely different from that day—
One was extremely ugly, the other breathtakingly beautiful.
Yet the feeling she gave off was the same: bold, arrogant, with a hint of roguish mischief.
And those sparkling eyes, set in her fair face, shimmered with intelligence and lively wit.
No wonder he had felt a sense of familiarity.
In recent days, he had almost forgotten her foolish appearance.
Only those eyes—he could never forget them.
“Hehe, Third Prince, if you were blind, who can you blame? I haven’t even settled accounts with you for slandering my reputation—calling me a ‘black pig.’ Really, who’s the pig here?”
Her mocking words instantly darkened Xiao Che’s expression. He strode up to her, looking down at her condescendingly.
“Then what about you fleeing the marriage? How dare you defy the imperial decree?”
At the thought of it, Xiao Che felt a surge of furious anger.
All his life, he had been the one to abandon women—yet this time, he had been the one abandoned. His pride had taken a severe blow.
Jin Luoluo widened her eyes in feigned shock.
“Third Prince, you can’t wrongly accuse me like this. When did I flee the marriage? I merely went out to relax. You know I’m not as experienced as you—having been married several times already, you’re used to it. It’s my first time getting married, so of course I was nervous. I just wanted to go out and ease my mind. Who knew you’d make such a big deal out of it and even drag my father to the execution ground?”
Her seemingly reasonable yet utterly twisted logic made Xiao Che narrow his eyes, a storm rising in his heart.
So it really was her—sharp-tongued as ever, even daring to mock him for marrying multiple times.
Fine.
If before, Jin Luoluo had only stirred his disgust, now she had piqued his interest.
Having a woman like her around might not be so bad—at least she wasn’t as dull as the concubines in his residence.
He would play this game with her… and make her pay for her audacity.
