My heart is trembling.
Why hasn’t this man shown any reaction for over a minute?!
Suppressing the urge to grab his collar and shake him, I endured with extreme patience.
Even so, confessing and then aggressively seeking affection afterward seemed a bit much……
Tick-tock. Time was passing relentlessly. Gréan finally opened his mouth more than 30 seconds later.
“Thank you, madam.”
He smiles brightly.
His smiling face is truly beautiful, but the response is too reserved!
“In the future… about the word ‘like’―.”
As I was relaxing after the tension eased, he suddenly closed the distance.
The distance seemed close enough for our lips to touch.
“Once a day, every day.”
“…?”
No, what kind of demand is that?
In my bewildered state, he stole my lips again. There’s no separate thief like him.
“Every day… Do you not think it’s shameless to ask for that?”
“As your husband, I believe it’s a reasonable request.”
“Reasonable or not, this lip thief―.”
This time, he took my lips for a longer duration.
No, not only that, our breaths mixed in a panting rhythm.
“Hah…”
Breathing became rough, and my mind became hazy with heat. Through the blurred vision, his face gazing at me affectionately became visible.
His silvery gray eyes, forming gentle curves, were as beautiful as the moon in the night sky.
“I always treat you, madam, sincerely.”
Whether kissing or embracing me, he handled me with extreme care, like fragile glass craftsmanship…
At this moment, I suddenly realize.
“I shouldn’t let you break because of my excessive desires.”
Even in the heat of passion, he showed an incredible amount of restraint.
“…So please understand.”
“…….”
I couldn’t express any further questions. Then, a gentle kiss descended on my forehead, leaving a lingering sadness.
“But it’s frustrating.”
“Kkyawoong.”
I don’t know why I’m frustrated, but the rabbit chimed in.
Now, the rabbit and I were ice fishing.
That’s right. Ice fishing!
Hearing that the lake near the Sol’s Berry Castle had frozen solid, we came to play with the children.
Ice fishing was fun. Although there was a minor issue with April fishing as a rabbit…
Why fish as a rabbit…? Isn’t it uncomfortable?
“Oh, I got one.”
Jade, occupying the left side next to April (I’m on the right side), repeated the same words for the 20th time already.
That’s right. Jade has already caught 20!
Swoosh…
As Jade smoothly lifted the fishing rod, a shiny silver fish dangled from the end.
“Kkyah~.”
The rabbit clapped its front paws. Then, Rodrigue’s fishing rod seemed to respond, and he also caught a quite large fish.
Rodri was catching quite a lot, not as much as Jade, but even the rabbit… it was holding the fishing rod with its front paws and still catching well! It’s truly unbelievable.
“Why can the rabbit catch well even with its front paws, but I can’t catch a single one?!”
My basket being the only empty one gave me a relative sense of deprivation. Although I shouted loudly to April that I would catch plenty of delicious fish for her.
It wouldn’t really end up with zero catches, right?
In the end, for about an hour, I couldn’t catch a single fish.
“It’s beyond embarrassing for an adult.”
…Still, it’s fortunate that I won’t catch a cold since Arwin provided a warm cape. All thanks to the cape made of magically warm fabric that Arwin made for me, who is prone to the cold. Frankly, it was more shocking than surprising.
That Black Mamba would take such good care of me… It felt like the sun had risen in the west.
“Now that I’m officially Gréan’s companion, he must be taking good care of me from now on.”
The fish the kids caught were deliciously cooked in the kitchen.
In return for the cape, Arwin also got to eat the cooked fish. After having two bowls of fish chowder soup, he even brought out several bottles of white wine. His taste is quite impressive.
Jade, who I thought would laugh at me for not catching any, surprisingly behaved quite decently. Is it due to the influence of his time in the knight order? It was fascinating to see the guy whose personality used to be crooked gradually changing.
It’s a natural story, but April ate excessively again. After eating to her heart’s content, she immediately lay down on the sofa. Her appearance was like a white rabbit balloon with the wind blown in.
April always eats a lot but doesn’t gain weight; it’s amazing. Perhaps she exercises.
Anyway, another day passed. Winter in Sol’s Berry Castle was endlessly peaceful and satisfying, excluding one thing: Gréan rejecting me every night.
Tonight, as usual, I prepared myself thoroughly to sneak into Gréan’s room.
I sprayed the fragrance of Silver Droplet Flower recommended by Anna and carefully managed my hair and skin.
My reflection in the mirror was truly sparkling. If Gréan Sol’s Berry still doesn’t come over after seeing this beauty, he…! That’s the end.
“Madam…! I sincerely hope for your success!”
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
