Even if Your Regret Holds Me Back (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 75
Realizing this, Eden set down the portrait with a faint smile.
“I’ve seen it.”
Then, as if nothing had happened, he reopened the book he’d been reading. His movements were far too calm and natural—so much so that they stopped Eugene from pressing further.
‘Was the sharpness I saw nothing more than greed after all?’
Those who desire something always hide their hand first. Before anything else, they must assess the true worth of what they possess.
Eugene tucked the painting away and instead opened his coin purse. Three gold coins clinked onto the polished desk.
Eden glanced at them briefly, still holding his book in his left hand, and picked one up with his right.
Just as expected. A cold smirk crept onto Eugene’s lips.
But the words that followed completely defied his calculations.
“Did you know? Long ago, people used stones or seashells as currency. The coins we use today haven’t even functioned as proper money for more than a few centuries.”
The gold coin spun idly between Eden’s slender fingers. Without taking his eyes off its motion, he continued.
“Among them, even the most valuable gold coin—worth enough to circulate across the entire continent—is, in essence, hardly different from an ordinary stone. It’s merely a mixture of minerals forged under intense heat and pressure over vast stretches of time… which is precisely why so many alchemists risk their lives for it.”
“Do I look like I paid for your time just to listen to an old bookseller’s outdated sermon?”
“I’m refusing you with the utmost courtesy.”
Eden flicked the coin lightly into the air, caught it, and placed it back on the desk.
Cold Male Lead Became My Clingy Husband (Female-Dominant)
Feng Bai Su transmigrated into a matriarchal novel, becoming the sister of the female protagonist and the Seventh Princess of the Feng Ling Kingdom.
After working herself to death in her previous life, finally reincarnating as a princess, she only wanted to be a lazy fish who could eat, sleep, and play.
Until she met the male protagonist from the book, Wei Jing Mo, and he took a liking to her!
Wei Jing Mo is the top young man in Feng Ling City, talented in both appearance and ability, from a prestigious family, with a cold and otherworldly appearance, a figure like the bright moon in the hearts of noble ladies. It was thought that only the most powerful and talented noble lady in Feng Ling City would be worthy of such a brilliant young man. Who knew that this young gentleman would secretly admire the infamous Seventh Princess?
Short scene 1:
Feng Bai Su looked at the young man crying like a pear blossom in the rain before her, and couldn’t help but doubt her life.
Wasn’t the male lead described as a cold and otherworldly figure in the book?
Then who was this poor little thing crying with swollen red eyes and tear-stained face?
Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
Wei Jing Mo: “…”
A talented fox spirit female lead with a flirtatious appearance but actually abstinent VS A cold-looking but actually naive and clingy little jealous male lead
