Chapter 402 A Cat in Heat
When he stepped out the door, it was unexpectedly raining. Everything was rejuvenating, and the spring rain was like oil, with thin drops landing on his face, cold and refreshing, waking him up. Seo Jang Geum he had met earlier that morning was nowhere to be seen. Thinking of the conditions he had offered her, he realized they were indeed hard for a young girl. But from the perspective of his nation and people, he couldn't betray his passionate heart.
"Why have you only just returned?" As he entered the shop, Eldest Miss stood up from her chair, softly scolding.
Lin Wanrong shook off the rain from his cape and smiled, saying, "It was raining, and the roads were hard to traverse. I was also delayed by some trivial matters, so I returned late. I hope I haven't caused Eldest Miss any worry."
"I wasn't worried about you at all." Eldest Miss's face turned slightly red as she approached him, gently brushing the rain from his clothing, and huffed, "You have countless admirers outside. Even if you didn't come back for one or two months, no one would worry about you. Oh, what's this—"
A bright red lipstick mark was printed on the right cheek of Master Lin, forming a small cherry mouth. Eldest Miss's face changed drastically, and she pounded her small fist on his shoulder, shouting, "You, get out!"
Xiao Yuruo desperately pushed him towards the door, and Lin Wanrong hastily leaned against the door panel, confused, "Eldest Miss, what's going on? We were just talking fine a moment ago. How have I offended you?"
Eldest Miss, panting and glaring at him, her beautiful eyes ablaze, and her chest heaving, exclaimed, "You scoundrel, living a debauched life outside while I've been waiting for you to return. You, you, you've infuriated me—" Two sparkling teardrops welled up in her eyes. Xiao Yuruo's face was filled with grief, on the brink of tears.
A debauched life? Master Lin was taken aback for a moment. Had something about him and Miss Seo been exposed? Bah, bah, nothing had happened between them, and he was more innocent than tofu. "Eldest Miss, what exactly is going on? Don't you know my righteous character? How could I possibly be the person you're describing?"
