He also lightly tapped his well-shaped lips. He smiled as if he knew for sure that Ru would be eager to kiss him in her dream.
Ru immediately grabbed his cheek and kissed him. His strong hand, always hugging her, wrapped around the back of her head and pulled her closer, not allowing even the slightest gap, absorbing her entire self.
The ominous feeling flowing through her spine gradually faded away.
“… Are you okay?”
“Mm-hmm.”
Ru buried her face deeply into his firm and thick chest.
“In the dream, that guy appeared.”
Hayden didn’t respond at all but gently stroked the back of her head. The one she called ‘that guy’ could only be Carlos.
“From start to finish, there was nothing worth listening to in the crazy talk… Why is he suddenly like this?”
Rustica Genesis was nothing more than a tool to Carlos. A convenient tool for swinging and exploiting. It was natural since he was a Southern sage. But why did he obsess in a ‘personal’ way?
“I feel annoyed and disgusted. Just because I’m with you, he… ”
Only then did he have the audacity to claim you were his, lighting up with flames in his eyes. It sent shivers down my spine when he deluded himself, saying filthy things and claiming he went to someone else when we hadn’t even started dating.
“I’m sorry. It’s because of me.”
“No, it’s not. Even if someone else was next to me, he would have acted the same way.”
“That’s right.”
Hayden nodded. Carlos Arthur Ingram only became aware of Ru recently. It was natural; she was a charming and adorable existence that would drive even those who were pretty, lovely, and high-minded mad. But that’s where it ended.
“Don’t worry. I’ll start by breaking his wrist.”
“Can you see the curse for me? Am I tied up again? Should I undo it?”
Hayden looked at her intently and shook his head.
“No.”
There was no need to undo it. Or, in fact, there was a new part that couldn’t be undone yet.
“It’s okay. It doesn’t bother me.”
It was absurd for someone who fell in love for the first time to be stroking his head. The annoying part was that, just because of a small injury, the person’s life was now in his hands. Hayden calmly examined Ru several times and shook his head.
“It’s okay.”
When he said it once more, the slightly anxious green eyes that were roiling settled down again.
“I noticed that a lot of the curse has been lifted now that I look again.”
“I loosened it a bit.”
Hayden smiled faintly.
“I didn’t know either? I thought you might be hurt.”
“I loosened it when you said it hurt. After that, you would forget it was fine.”
Ugh. Ru lightly tapped his chest so it wouldn’t hurt. Hayden hugged her tightly.
“Whatever happens, I’ll undo everything. I’ll undo everything, risking my life, Ru. Trust me.”
“Yeah.”
With a nod, Ru hesitated before adding one more word.
“Believe.”
As the woman said these words, another emerald-colored curse was added above her head. That place was where she would eventually have to undo it, but she couldn’t touch it right now. Another curse had been added that needed to be undone. Hayden kissed Ru without saying a word.
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.”
