Captured by the Desert Tyrant (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 115
“This isn’t it…”
Latifa, having returned to Caleb’s private grounds and obtained a bottle of Shadi’s new distilled liquor from Yanan, tried adding salt and tilted her head in confusion.
The salt did lend a slightly refreshing note, but it didn’t produce any remarkably different flavor.
Then again, even Latifa knew the common fact that salt could intensify sweetness—if that alone had dramatically enhanced the drink’s taste, Shadi’s side surely would’ve already known about it.
‘Should I just add even more?’
Latifa dumped in more salt than half the volume of the drink, stirred it briskly, took a sip—and immediately choked.
“Ugh! Now the taste is completely ruined!”
The salt-dissolved beverage had turned into a bland, overwhelmingly salty mess.
So it really doesn’t work.
Her fleeting hope of capitalizing on the popularity of Shadi’s distilled liquor to sell more sea salt had vanished like a bubble.
‘This isn’t the taste. That day, it was truly thick… and addictive.’
Latifa let out a soft sigh and leaned her dizzy, alcohol-warmed head against a cushion for a moment.
‘Could it have been because it was Luhan…?’
Luhan was certainly a good man—kind, gentle, and attentive.
Whenever Latifa so much as turned her head his way, he’d grow restless; and if she even glanced toward him, he’d make frantic, anxious gestures to catch her eye.
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.”
