The two facing each other remained silent. Instead, Leo and Leon, who seemed restless, opened their mouths.
“Well, um, who is this person…”
“I know, so leave.”
“Oh, yes. Understood.”
As Noah spoke, the two retreated quietly, but they still had worried expressions. Soon after the two left and closed the door, the room fell silent. Noah gestured for Valion to sit.
“Please, take a seat.”
“…….””…….”
However, Valion remained motionless, standing still, and asked.
“You knew I was coming.”
“Yes. Since I was already expecting it. I even confirmed that you were on the same ship.”
Noah responded leisurely. Then, Valion threw a crumpled paper at Noah. The paper hit Noah’s shoulder and fell to the floor.
“So, you expected this too?”
In response to Valion’s words, Noah picked up the paper and unfolded it. Valion spoke menacingly as Noah checked the contents of the paper.
“Can’t you handle things properly?”
“…….”
Noah let out a wry laugh as if dumbfounded.
“Surely, you don’t believe this absurd content, right?”
“…….”
“Or perhaps, did Delina believe it?”
“No.”
“…….””So, it annoys me even more.”
As if not liking the clear relationship between the two, Valion glared at Noah. Then, Noah’s face broke into a satisfied smile.
“Well, that’s one thing… but this can’t be left alone.”
Crossing a line, Noah’s chilling gaze was fixed on Rosie’s name. Valion, who was observing Noah, nodded slowly.
“So, in the end, you followed us because you were concerned about the two of us, Noah and me?”
“Yes. In simple terms, that’s correct.”
‘These people really…’
They traveled so easily before, but now they followed so quickly. Delina shook her head in disbelief. But more than that, the current situation was difficult for Delina.
“Hey, Del’s family! Please come over here and sit!”
When Delina and the three entered the upper deck a while ago, the upper deck people were agitated once again. Everyone was surprised by Valion’s fierce momentum, and they were surprised again when they heard Delina’s family.
“Is there anything else you need?”
“If you need anything, please call us anytime. We’ll handle it right away!”
Perhaps because Delina’s family arrived at the upper deck for the second time, the atmosphere was even more chaotic than when Delina first arrived. However, unlike Delina, who was bewildered, Felic and Betty were accepting their hospitality naturally.
“Oh, yes. Our niece came to see if she’s doing well here. Can we stay for a while?”
“Yes, of course! Please think of it as your own home and make yourselves comfortable!”
Due to Valion’s stern demeanor, they were even more reserved. At that moment, Leo and Leon, who seemed quite tired, returned. Delina, noticing them, immediately asked.
“What about the two of them?”
“…They are discussing something in the room right now. But, um, the atmosphere seems a bit strange… Is it okay not to stop them?”
Leo asked while glancing at the three. Then Felic waved his hand casually as if nothing serious was happening.
“Oh, don’t worry. Do you think we’re going to kill each other?”
“Yes?”
“Our lord is so fond of his daughter that it’s unique. Even at home, it’s like that. Don’t worry. Feel free to go about your business.”
“What kind of household is this…”
In response to Felic’s nonchalant reaction, Leon mumbled unknowingly. While exchanging glances expressing incomprehension, they soon withdrew. When everyone disappeared, Betty opened her mouth quietly.
“What exactly is the relationship with that princess?”
“Well, it’s obvious. The princess has a crush on Noah. So, she really hates me.”
“In what way?”
“Well, she said I’m ugly.”
Upon hearing that, Felic jumped up.
“What? How dare she make such a rude comment to you, Miss? Anyone can see that you’re cuter than that princess!”
“And you didn’t even say I’m prettier?”
“Of course, you’re much prettier!”
“Too late!”
As Delina boasted, Felic raised the corners of his mouth. However, his eyes didn’t reflect the same sentiment. Felic glanced briefly at Betty.
Sensing Felic’s gaze, Betty quietly nodded. Thus, their secret eye exchange continued.
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.”
