Don't Be Kind Rashly (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 140
Lu had never been a parent, but she at least understood what kind of presence she was to her own parents.
Just by looking at the rooms prepared for her separately at the Plache Count’s estate and the townhouse, it weighed heavily on her heart without a word needing to be said.
Luxurious bedding in bright, coordinated colors, curtains matched to the bedding that changed with every season, and her wardrobe brimming with brand-new clothes of every type she’d never even worn.
Millene had filled them each time she thought of Lu, estimating her height: “This one’s for when it’s cold, and this one’s for bedtime.” Yet there were no shoes except light indoor slippers.
That was because the Jenus family creed held that shoes must always be custom-fitted to suit one’s feet perfectly.
Her parents had always wished for her to stay home. No matter what she did outside, they wanted her to return after finishing her day’s work, share dinner together, and chat warmly about what had happened.
Whenever they were together, if Lu briefly turned her head and then looked back at her parents, she’d meet their warm eyes—sometimes even reddened. Their gaze never once left her. Though their grown daughter now seemed unfamiliar and awkward to them, they worried about her most of all and felt deepest sympathy for her.
“Drink some water, water.”
Millene quickly handed water to her daughter, who was choking badly and in distress, then scolded her husband for causing the trouble.
“You really—what were you thinking? Making the child flustered like that…!”
“No, I—I’m sorry, Lu. Sweetheart, drink some water.”
But Ethan had no idea how he should have started this conversation ‘nicely.’ Wasn’t he ultimately going to have to say it anyway?
Sweetheart, have you thought about becoming Empress?
After that, he’d ask for Lu’s opinion, and the conversation would proceed through give-and-take. It was admittedly a bit blunt, but in Ethan’s view, this matter simply couldn’t be brought up ‘gently’ or ‘smoothly.’
“I’m sorry for startling you.”
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.”
