A Fallen Holy Knight Is Obsessed With Me (12 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 65
At the name that unconsciously slipped from Lion’s lips, Kasha’s eyes widened in astonishment, as if asking how he could possibly know.
‘Again with that startled rabbit look.’
Flustered, Kasha squirmed to escape his embrace, but Lion pretended not to notice and tightened his hold on her.
He was irritated that the intruding voice had disturbed this moment. Moreover, Lion felt inexplicably grumpy at the fact that Kasha had reacted to that voice—even if her reaction was one of displeasure.
He whispered into her ear.
“Let’s listen a bit more.”
Her blinking, startled eyes narrowed slightly. Then, as if in agreement, she gave a small nod and turned serious, leaning in to listen intently.
At that moment, a woman’s voice, brimming with agitation, came from the same direction.
“Know your place, for heaven’s sake! You’ve barely joined the trading company—what, with no experience or background to speak of? You should quietly learn what your father tells you to do, instead of meddling in company management!”
Wait—this voice…
“Odette Tyroite?”
At Kasha’s quiet whisper, Lion looked down at her and nodded.
Kasha let out a soft “Ah,” her expression shifting to one of sudden realization.
She must have heard rumors about Simon and Odette as well—after all, her friend Margaret never failed to relay every piece of gossip circulating in high society.
Just then, Simon’s anxious voice rang out again. Somehow, it felt as though the direction of the voice was drawing steadily closer to where Lion and Kasha stood.
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!

This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
