Even if Your Regret Holds Me Back (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 155
The detective was the one who investigated the case and gathered evidence.
Until then, it had only been a few brief interrogations, but with Eugene’s involvement, things would be different. Direct searches could now reach places the detective himself couldn’t even set foot in.
Christine’s head snapped toward the window where her room was located. As expected, a large silhouette was faintly visible.
Christine ran without even bothering to gather the hem of her dress. Barely keeping her balance and breathless from the sprint, she arrived just in time to see Eugene standing with his back to the window.
Christine quickly smoothed her clothes and called out to him.
“Eugene.”
Even after hearing his name called, Eugene gazed outside for a few more seconds before slowly turning around.
His usual cold expression flustered Christine. If he had come here of his own accord, he surely had some ulterior motive—but she couldn’t fathom what it might be, which only made her more uneasy.
She deliberately avoided his eyes, feigning composure as she stepped inside. Though it was unquestionably her own room, his overwhelming presence made it feel like his domain, tightening around her throat like a cold grip.
“What brings you here at this hour?”
“Does a son need another reason to visit his mother?”
“You growled that you’d disown me as your mother and stormed off—so don’t ask questions like that.”
Despite her intense nervousness, her voice came out surprisingly calm. Christine inched toward the display cabinet against the wall and continued carefully.
“Would you like some tea? It’s impolite to keep a guest standing, and now that I think of it, I don’t believe I’ve ever served you a warm cup of tea with my own hands.”
Eugene didn’t answer, but Christine quickly pulled the cord and instructed someone to bring boiled water. She then subtly moved in front of the shelf where the tea tins were kept. The tightness in her chest finally eased a little.
When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
