HRPM – Chapter 356 Who Understands Her Better (1)

Xiao Luo said calmly, “I usually have nothing to do in my spare time anyway. I simply treated it as a bit of exercise and a way to add some excitement to an otherwise ordinary life.”

Xiao Che spoke in a deep voice, “If you want excitement for yourself, I have no objections. But what about Jin Luoluo? Why did she go with you to wipe out the bandits? She’s a pampered young lady who doesn’t even know martial arts, yet she followed you into such danger. Why didn’t you stop her? Why did you indulge her recklessness? Don’t you realize how dangerous this was for her?”

Xiao Yu stepped forward to calm Xiao Che.

“Third Brother, don’t get too worked up. I don’t think Seventeenth Uncle expected something like this to happen either.”

Although he, too, was upset that his Seventeenth Uncle had taken Jin Luoluo along on the mission.

But with a crafty girl like Jin Luoluo, even if you forbade her from going, she would always find some way to pester and wear you down until you gave in.

Seventeenth Uncle had probably been left with no choice. He must have believed the operation was thoroughly planned and foolproof, so he agreed to take her along.

In the end, this incident was purely an accident. It’s just that when people care deeply, they panic easily, and everyone naturally harbored some resentment toward Seventeenth Uncle.

Still, no one but Xiao Che dared to question him in such a confrontational tone.

“Che’er, do you really think Luoluo is the kind of girl who would stay home simply because someone told her it was dangerous? As for her actions, I neither wished to stop her nor felt there was any need to.”

There was not the slightest trace of guilt or self-reproach in Xiao Luo’s voice as he calmly stated his views.

Seeing how indifferent Xiao Luo remained only made Xiao Che angrier.

“Seventeenth Uncle, is it because she simply isn’t important to you? That taking her along didn’t matter, because her life or death has nothing to do with you?”

Xiao Luo raised his head and narrowed his eyes at Xiao Che. A hint of proud aloofness flashed in his brilliant gaze, and he did not avoid Xiao Che’s accusing stare.

After a long silence, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he glanced in Jin Luoluo’s direction.

“Che’er, it seems you don’t truly understand what kind of person Jin Luoluo is. I can excuse your impulsiveness as the confusion that comes from concern, but you underestimate her far too much.

“She is not one of those ordinary women in the capital who cannot bear the sight of blood. She has courage, insight, and the strength to protect herself. She did not follow me out of mere curiosity or childish recklessness to play at adventure.

“She would never joke with her own life. In fact, it was with her help that I managed to escape danger this time.”
