Xiao Luo’s brows furrowed more and more deeply.
“There are indeed too many suspicious points. We can start with Yang Ruoyao. Perhaps this is the breakthrough we’ve been looking for.”
“But even if we prove that Che’er doesn’t bring misfortune to his wives, it’ll still be troublesome if he refuses to break off the engagement.”
More importantly, even if the engagement were successfully dissolved, being with Luoluo would provoke fierce opposition from the imperial clan.
He didn’t care what other people said, but in the end, the decision rested with his imperial brother. If the emperor refused to approve their marriage, then all their efforts would have been in vain.
Even if he used his remaining two promises in exchange for permission, his imperial brother might still refuse.
Perhaps he would have to make a tremendous sacrifice to force his imperial brother to agree.
Jin Luoluo looked puzzled.
“He dislikes me so much. If he had the chance to avoid marrying a merchant’s daughter like me and bringing disgrace to his family’s reputation, wouldn’t he be overjoyed? The moment he found out, he’d probably rush to cancel the engagement.”
Looking at Jin Luoluo’s innocent, adorable face, Xiao Luo sighed inwardly. It seemed she still hadn’t noticed the change in Xiao Che’s feelings. She still believed he had always hated her.
But Xiao Luo, standing on the sidelines, could see it very clearly. Xiao Che’s feelings had changed from initial dislike to gradually becoming captivated by her.
The transformation in his feelings was so obvious that anyone could see it—except for the dense and oblivious Luoluo.
“Do you really think he hates you that much?”
Jin Luoluo rolled her eyes.
“Do you think he doesn’t? Don’t tell me he’s gradually fallen in love with me—that’s such a clichéd plot. Unless he’s a masochist who gets more excited the more I torment him. But whether he likes me or not is none of my business. I’m not interested in that kind of twisted romance.”
“That’s good, then.” Xiao Luo smiled faintly.
“Xiao Luo, are you cold?”
The room seemed to be growing colder and colder, and Jin Luoluo couldn’t help shivering.
Sensing that something was wrong, Xiao Luo reached out and felt her clothing.
Her outer garments were still quite dry, but the collar around her neck was obviously soaked through.
He slipped his hand inside to feel the inner layer of her clothes. Jin Luoluo’s face instantly flushed crimson.
He’s actually feeling around inside a girl’s clothes… This is so embarrassing.
“Luoluo, your inner clothes are completely soaked. Why did you keep enduring it without saying anything?”
Xiao Luo was a little angry. She had run all the way through such fierce wind and rain. Although she had been wearing a bamboo rain hat, it couldn’t keep the rain from getting through the gaps around her head and neck.
