“It was indeed fortunate. I sincerely thank Seventeenth Uncle for coming to the aid of my fiancée,” Xiao Che said calmly.
He did not fly into a rage because of Yang Ruoyao’s attempt to sow discord.
Yang Ruoyao’s heart sank, and she felt even more disappointed.
She had been too impulsive just now.
Xiao Che must have thought her words were too malicious. That was why his expression had changed so abruptly, and why he had looked at her so strangely.
“See? Even my fiancé doesn’t mind. So why does an outsider like you care? If you’ve got nothing better to do, stop standing there. You’re an eyesore, and just looking at you puts me in a bad mood. At this rate, I’ll never recover. So for the sake of my health, Miss Yang, would you kindly move your noble body somewhere else and disappear from my sight?”
Seeing that even Xiao Che wasn’t taking Yang Ruoyao’s side, Jin Luoluo became even more smug.
That pretentious little vixen has finally let her true colors show.
Even that idiot jinx could see something was wrong with her now.
Let’s see how much longer she could keep pretending.
“Jin Luoluo, don’t push it too far…”
Yang Ruoyao’s temper flared. How dare Jin Luoluo call her an eyesore?
“Ruoyao, you should head back first. Luoluo still needs to rest,” Xiao Che said coldly. Then he swept his gaze across everyone else in the room. “You’ve all come to visit her. Now let her get some proper rest.”
Using Jin Luoluo’s health as the reason, Xiao Che politely dismissed everyone.
Although Xiao Yu and the others wanted to stay a while longer, they had no choice but to leave.
“Luoluo, get some good rest. There’s plenty of time ahead.”
Xiao Luo smiled at her gently, his eyes shimmering with warmth.
Naturally, Jin Luoluo understood what he meant.
For now, they still had to keep their relationship a secret, so they couldn’t behave too intimately in front of everyone.
The only thing they could do was convey their feelings through their eyes—in other words, exchange affectionate glances.
“Mhm! I’ll take good care of myself. Thank you for your concern, Your Highness.”
Jin Luoluo smiled playfully.
Xiao Luo chuckled. Then, with Bulaya pushing his wheelchair, he left the room.
Jin Luoluo watched his figure disappear through the doorway before turning back.
The moment she did, she found Xiao Che staring at her with dark, brooding eyes.
Her heart skipped a beat.
He must have seen the way I was looking at Xiao Luo just now…
“Ah… I’m so tired. Why is my head starting to throb again? Oww…”
Jin Luoluo deliberately put on a pained expression, hoping to avoid Xiao Che’s questioning.
“Jin Luoluo, what’s wrong?”
Xiao Che was only half convinced, but he still gently placed his hand on her forehead. Then he softly massaged her temples, trying to ease her headache.
