Seeing that Qiao Jinniang's face was all dark, Lu Chen threw the rag doll aside, played with Qiao Jinniang's fingers and said, "If you hadn't thrown this rag doll to me, I wouldn't have accepted it. Don't be angry, okay?"
Qiao Jinniang frowned and said, "Couldn't you just throw it away after I gave it to you?
"In the situation just now, if you didn't accept it, tomorrow everyone in Chang'an would say you have no conscience. I kindly help you out and throw this doll to you, but you're blaming me?"
Lu Chen said, "I know you are angry with Zhou Sisi, but don't be angry with me."
Qiao Jinniang snorted. "That's because you didn't refuse her. Why did you nod when she asked you to take 'good care' of this doll?"
Lu Chen said, "If I hadn't, she wouldn't have left. She is a retard anyway. It's better to give her what she wants than to be pestered by her."
