HRPM – Chapter 478 Should I take responsibility?

Lan Cangxuan didn’t seem to care much for women anyway, so this actually worked out perfectly.

“Why did you enter the embroidered-ball contest?” Lan Cangxuan still hadn’t recovered from his shock.

His emotions were incredibly complicated.

He didn’t feel any disgust.

On the contrary, when he saw that the person behind the curtain was Jin Luoluo, he felt a faint sense of surprise… and even delight.

Attendant A, ever the smooth talker, grinned.

“It was fate! If Miss Jin hadn’t thrown the embroidered ball, how could Young Master have caught it? Congratulations! Congratulations! May Young Master and Young Madam fall in love at first sight, lose their hearts to each other at the second meeting, head straight to the bridal chamber by the third, enjoy a lifetime of happiness, and be blessed with children and grandchildren—mmph! Mmph! Why are you covering my mouth?!”

Attendant A yanked Attendant B’s hand away.

“Look at Young Madam. She’s furious. The consequences will be severe,” Attendant B whispered, breaking into a cold sweat as he stared at Jin Luoluo’s hair practically standing on end with anger.

This Young Madam isn’t nearly as gentle and virtuous as she looks.

Those eyes are terrifying!

Young Master is doomed. He’ll definitely be henpecked by her in the future.

Jin Luoluo shot the two attendants a sinister glare.

“You two certainly have long tongues. Want me to lend you a knife so you can cut them off?”

“Spare us, Young Madam!”

The two attendants instantly hid behind Lan Cangxuan.

Young Madam is terrifying!

She wants to cut out our tongues the moment she opens her mouth! What a frightening woman!

Jin Luoluo nearly exploded.

Young Madam?

Who would have thought that such a serious, proper master would have subordinates who were even more playful than each other—and who dared take advantage of her like this?

“They’re just joking. Don’t pay them any mind.”

Even Lan Cangxuan felt awkward.

Truthfully, he had never been good at interacting with women.

Now that he had caught Jin Luoluo’s embroidered ball, he honestly didn’t know how to handle the situation.

“But… you’re a young lady. Throwing your embroidered ball to me in front of everyone could damage your reputation.”

“So… should I take responsibility?”

Lan Cangxuan was genuinely concerned about how she felt.

Jin Luoluo nearly collapsed with laughter.

She laughed so hard she almost couldn’t breathe, completely failing to appreciate his sincerity.

This Lan Cangxuan looked cold and aloof on the outside, but he was actually so innocent.

He was seriously asking whether he should “take responsibility”?

“Yes, yes! You absolutely should! You have to compensate me for the damage to my reputation. I won’t ask for much—just five thousand taels! Hahaha! Lan Cangxuan, you’re too funny!”

Jin Luoluo laughed so hard she doubled over.

Lan Cangxuan’s face turned red with embarrassment.

He felt annoyed, exasperated, and utterly helpless all at once.

“Here. Take it back.”

With a huff, Lan Cangxuan stuffed the embroidered ball back into Jin Luoluo’s hands.
