HRPM – Chapter 404 Changes in Mindset

And on top of that, she was still such a young woman.

She must have endured far more pressure and danger than anyone else.

Fortunately, she had an optimistic nature, so she never spoke of her hardships.

Instead, she lived each day happily, working diligently and enthusiastically in her pursuit of wealth.

“Jin Luoluo, I once said you were just getting by on petty cleverness. Looking back, I really was arrogant. The truth is, becoming the richest person didn’t happen by chance. You must have put an incredible amount of thought and effort into it.”

For perhaps the first time, Xiao Che reflected on the prejudice he had once held against Jin Luoluo.

He had never met such a cunning woman before, so after being deceived by her, all he had felt was anger.

Combined with his dislike of her unconventional behavior, he had naturally become biased against her. Everything about her had seemed wrong to him.

No matter what she did, he had always assumed the worst of her motives.

He had believed she was a crafty woman with questionable morals.

Now, however, he realized that although she was indeed clever, only she herself knew the bitterness hidden behind that intelligence.

She had lived a far more difficult life than most women.

Jin Luoluo’s jaw nearly hit the floor, and her eyes widened in astonishment.

“Hey, Jinx, are you feeling alright? I just said a couple of sentimental words, and now you’re all heartbroken for me? Your opinion of me has done a complete one-eighty! I’m not used to this. Since when did you become so soft-hearted toward me?”

Xiao Che ground his teeth.

Jin Luoluo really is the most ungrateful woman under heaven.

No matter how well he treated her, she never appreciated it.

Forget it. There was an old saying: Women and petty men are the hardest to deal with.

And Jin Luoluo was the hardest of them all.

Yet no matter how difficult she was, he had already made up his mind—

He was determined to win her over.

Mu Yun leaned close to Jin Luoluo’s ear, looking as though she had discovered a whole new world.

“Brother-in-law has finally realized how wonderful you are. When a man starts treating a woman well, it means he’s fallen for her. Brother-in-law likes you.”

As quietly as she spoke, Xiao Che’s keen ears still caught every word.

Hearing Mu Yun say that he liked Jin Luoluo left him deeply shaken.

Was it because I like her… that I’ve always reacted so strongly to everything she does?

Whenever he saw her getting close to another man, he became furious.

Whenever he saw her in danger, he grew anxious.

Whenever he saw how hard her life had been, his heart ached.

Was it all because, without realizing it, I had already fallen in love with her?

But he already had Ruoyao.

How could he possibly like Jin Luoluo?

Yet if it wasn’t love, how else could he explain the changes in his own heart?
