HRPM – Chapter 436 Argument

“Otherwise, I’d make sure they paid for it—even if heaven itself had to strike them down with lightning. I would never tolerate one person being the only one to suffer.”

“I’ve never toyed with your feelings,” Xiao Luo replied.

“And I’m not feeling smug.”

“I’m happy.”

“Because you’ve finally admitted that you like me.”

A bright smile spread across Xiao Luo’s face.

He wheeled himself over until he was right in front of Jin Luoluo.

Taking her cool hands into his own, he gently enclosed them within his palms, caressing them with such tenderness that it stirred the heart.

Jin Luoluo’s fingers trembled.

It felt as though her entire heart had fallen into his hands, melting beneath his gentle touch.

Oh no…

This is bad…

My resolve is far too weak.

I’m actually falling for him just like this.

No!

I came here to confront him.

How can I let him smooth everything over with just a few sweet words?

“I’ve already decided not to like you anymore.”

“You have a fiancée.”

“And you’re so good to her.”

Her voice was unmistakably sour with jealousy.

Having a fiancée wasn’t the real issue.

What mattered was his attitude.

If he hadn’t been so gentle toward Bulaya, she could at least have believed he was being forced into it.

Then there might still have been hope.

But she had seen him holding that girl so tenderly.

Just remembering it made her furious.

She wanted to punch him.

“Aren’t you engaged too?” Xiao Luo countered.

Jin Luoluo glared at him.

“Do you seriously think I like that jinx?”

“I’ve been trying to break off that engagement from the very beginning.”

“That fiancé was shoved onto me by the old Emperor. What choice did I have?”

“But is the way you treat Bulaya anything like the way I treat that jinx?”

Xiao Luo sighed silently.

This dense girl…

She was not only oblivious—

She was also an unbelievably jealous little vinegar jar.

Why couldn’t she see that the way he treated her and the way he treated Bulaya were completely different?

“Luoluo, I don’t like Bulaya either.”

“You’re the one insisting that I do.”

“I’ve never once admitted such a thing.”

“Then why are you so nice to her?”

“And you were actually engaged!”

“You never told anyone about it.”

“I never even knew such a thing existed.”

“If you didn’t have a guilty conscience, why keep it a secret?”

Her voice was thick with jealousy.

A bead of sweat appeared on Xiao Luo’s forehead.

As expected…

Everything still came back to that troublesome engagement.

“Luoluo…”

“The situation is rather complicated.”

“But I don’t like Bulaya.”

“And the person Bulaya likes isn’t me either.”

“She only said those things today because she wanted to tease you.”

“She was making it all up.”

“Who are you trying to fool?”

Jin Luoluo huffed.

“Even though I don’t want you to like her, she traveled all the way from beyond the frontier to find you.”

“You can’t be so heartless toward her.”
