Klaus was walking down the corridor with Alejandro, planning to meet someone here for business purposes.
“Meeting in a place like this, that guy sure knows his stuff.”
“Please endure it. After all, he is the most influential merchant in this area. It wouldn’t hurt to have a good relationship with him.”
“Just lead the way, quickly.”
Panicking, Roselia had no choice but to turn around and walk in the opposite direction.
Why here, of all places!
Moreover, she was wearing the same blonde wig she had on in Algrisha Village. Even though they had only briefly crossed paths, there was a high likelihood that the perceptive Klaus would recognize her.
Worrying about Klaus approaching from behind, Roselia gritted her teeth.
She couldn’t keep walking in the opposite direction forever.
Nadia’s room was on the opposite side, past where Klaus was.
Unable to decide what to do, she finally turned into another corridor on the side.
She intended to reach Nadia’s room by taking a detour through the opposite corridor.
Just as she was about to turn into the right corridor at the end of the hallway, a large shadow fell in front of Roselia.
Feeling a chill down her spine, Roselia slowly lifted her head.
Above the wide chest and neatly buttoned shirt, familiar and cold eyes were looking down at her.
“Lady.”
Involuntarily, Roselia met Klaus’s eyes and gulped.
“Have we met before?”
She felt like she was facing an immense wall.
Caught off guard, she didn’t have a chance to hide her face like she had in Algrisha Village. Roselia felt her palms sweat as she stood frozen like a rabbit in front of a leopard.
“Lady.”
His cold voice broke the silence.
“Have we met before?”
His icy gaze seemed to pierce through her.
A cold sweat trickled down her back.
But Roselia managed a calm smile and responded nonchalantly.
“Is that so?”
She decided it was best to feign ignorance.
If she denied it, he wouldn’t be able to do anything, she thought.
Despite his frosty expression, Roselia continued to smile.
“In Algrisha Village… didn’t you bump into me?”
“Did I? I meet so many people, it’s hard to remember.”
Roselia’s blunt response made Klaus glance at her attire and then seem to understand.
His eyes filled with assumption, making her feel unfairly accused, but she maintained her composure.
Arguing in her current attire wouldn’t be convincing, and it would only prolong the conversation.
“Well, I’m busy, so I must go.”
As Roselia tried to pass by him, Klaus’s movement blocked her path once again.
She looked up at him, puzzled, and his deep blue eyes intensely scrutinized her.
“May I ask you a question?”
“What is it?”
Roselia swallowed, trying to ignore his piercing gaze.
“Do you know Antonio?”
She was right; he was suspicious.
Roselia’s hand, unbeknownst to herself, clenched tightly as sweat began to form.
Thankfully, she wasn’t looking him in the eye. She stared down the corridor.
Just then, Alejandro appeared at the end of the corridor, searching for Klaus.
Right now, with Klaus suspecting her and Alejandro about to join them, she was at a high risk of being exposed.
Without much thought, Roselia grabbed the lapel of Klaus’s suit and swiftly pulled him into an open room beside them.
Luckily, the room seemed empty, but it appeared to be unused as it was pitch dark without a single light on.
Klaus, suddenly pulled into the room by Roselia, looked down at the woman gasping for breath on his chest.
Drawn to the green eyes peeking out from under the somewhat artificial blonde hair and scanning outside the door, Klaus caught her gaze.
A moment of bewilderment flashed in his eyes.
Why had he so easily followed her into the room, despite being able to resist her pull?
Klaus, looking down at Roselia in confusion, soon cooled his blue eyes and regained his composure.
Right, she might be Antonio’s sister. If the Hesink siblings were deceiving him, he would have to confront them properly and make them pay. That was all.
However, since entering the room, a scent – whether it was perfume or natural – was distracting him, emanating from her.
Only after Alejandro’s presence had faded did Roselia realize she was in close proximity to the Duke in a dark room.
She hurriedly released his suit lapel she had been holding and coughed awkwardly.
“Ah, sorry. I saw someone I know. It would be troublesome in many ways if they saw me with another guest.”
Roselia sighed inwardly, ending up implying she was a worker here. Bitterly accepting the situation, she knew she had to get through this crisis.
It seemed like a plausible excuse, but Klaus’s cold stare suggested he wasn’t buying it.
As Roselia noticed the unusual depth in his dark blue eyes, she tried to leave the awkward situation.
“Well… I’m a bit busy, so…”
Attempting to slip past his large frame, Roselia was stopped by his arm blocking her path.
As she swallowed nervously, Klaus’s voice, laden with underlying tension, reached her.
“You didn’t answer my question earlier…”
A warning sign flashed. Lingering any longer would risk getting caught!
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
