“Ah!”
I came to my senses and gave the room one last look. It was now my turn to frame my memories and lock them away in the deep exhibition hall of my heart.
As I stepped out of the room, he locked the door behind us.
As usual, in a petty manner.
“Come in.”
It was the butler, Freddy, who had come to see him at this late hour. I tried my best not to be noticed, standing right next to the door I had just exited. I thought I could hide well in the darkness as the room was overall dim. But then.
“What are you doing there?”
What else could I be doing? I was desperately trying to save my reputation. Ricardo, who didn’t care about my reputation, coldly called me out despite my efforts.
“Come here.”
“Yes…”
In just a few steps, I was fully exposed under the moonlight. Seeing me, Freddy’s face naturally stiffened with surprise. What he thought of a woman visiting a man’s room in the middle of the night was obvious without asking.
All the more reason for me to stand tall. After all, wasn’t my goal not an engagement with Ricardo?
“I’m sorry, Your Highness. I didn’t know you had a guest.”
“What brings you here at this hour?”
“There were two matters I needed to report, but…”
As Freddy hesitated, Ricardo looked at him intently, prompting a cough from Freddy.
“One matter seems unnecessary to mention now.”
Ah, he came to report my absence. It seemed Ricardo too guessed why the butler had come.
“And the other?”
Freddy glanced at me briefly then stood straight again facing Ricardo.
“The people from the Fennel family have arrived at the mansion.”
‘What…? Did he just say Fennel…?’
I was too shocked to speak. I looked at Ricardo, but he was turned away, so I couldn’t see his expression.
“Let them in and…”
Ricardo paused and slightly tilted his head towards me. It seemed like the corner of his mouth lifted, but I couldn’t be sure.
“Take them to Bluehill.”
Hearing the name of the mansion where my family would stay, my mind snapped back to reality. It seemed unlikely that the empire’s top family, the Rochesters, would play such a low-quality prank, but I needed to see their faces to believe they were here.
I grasped my skirt with both hands, ready to rush out. I could ask the guards where Bluehill was.
“Lienne.”
But I couldn’t take a few steps. I had to stop in my tracks as my name was called tenderly from behind. Only then did I remember I was about to leave without showing proper respect to him.
“I should be going now, Your Highness.”
“No, not tonight.”
“What do you mean?”
“You can’t meet them tonight.”
“Why not?”
“Because I don’t want you to. Isn’t that right?”
He said this with a somewhat malicious expression and stepped closer to me. We were closer than what would be appropriate for a nobleman and lady, unless they were dancing.
As he approached, Freddy silently left the bedroom.
Involuntarily, my head lifted as he came closer. His half-lowered eyes slowly focused on me.
Ricardo seemed to want to intimidate me. Under normal circumstances, I wouldn’t have dared to breathe heavily in front of his fearsome face.
But, regretfully, Ricardo could only make me smile today, no matter what he did. After all, I deserved at least this much mischief for barging in on him today.
“Right.”
Instead of moving away from Ricardo, I leaned slightly towards him. With a face full of gratitude, I smiled brightly.
“Everything is up to Your Highness.”
Surprised by my sudden change in attitude, he burst into laughter. His unexpected laughter left me dizzy. Listening to his refreshing sound, his bedroom, which had felt chillingly cold until just moments ago, now seemed cozy.
“I know. You just said it yourself a moment ago.”
“What did I say…?”
“That I can do whatever I want.”
“Ah…”
Of course, I had said that. But having a handsome man in a sheer robe standing so close made my eyes and throat sting.
“Of course, a woman undressed and licking my feet is not my taste, but…”
Why did it feel like he was lying even though I was sure about what I had said?
“If needed, well, changing my taste might not be so bad.”
“If it’s not your taste, you might find it quite, no, very unpleasant…”
“It’s hard to say it’s not my taste if I haven’t experienced it.”
It seemed I had bitten my lower lip hard. As Ricardo’s warm fingers lightly touched, my lips involuntarily parted.
“Don’t be afraid. I’m too tired right now for any new experiences.”
My eyes widened in surprise.
“Right. You do look very tired.”
“Yeah, so go back to your room quietly.”
Ricardo took a step back and closed his eyes tightly for a moment. His action released me from the intense focus I had on him.
Phew, a long breath naturally escaped me.
“Alright, I will. Just answer one thing for me.”
“What now?”
He walked towards the bed as he replied.
“Everyone’s here, right? Lady Fennel, Sabrina, Jonathan?”
As he reached the bed, Ricardo swiftly took off the robe he was wearing. Startled, I turned away from him. I still needed an answer, or I’d spend the entire night awake.
“Well, is that all?”
Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
