“It’s okay. I thought you’d be late since you’re busy being a governess.”
Jen crossed his legs and smiled arrogantly. Deborah felt relieved that it was just Jen, but she couldn’t stop the thought that it was too unlike him.
‘If I thought I might be late, I should have changed my clothes… Wouldn’t it be uncomfortable for him?’
Sitting down, Deborah, looking at the small soup bowl on the table, asked,
“What’s this?”
“Something for you to eat.”
“Yes?”
Deborah tilted her head with a smirk and asked. Then, Jen quickly turned his head towards the fireplace.
The firelight illuminated Jen’s blonde hair magnificently and tinted his pale face with a touch of red.
“I heard. Losing weight? Are you crazy?”
“Oh, did Mr. Radford mention it?”
Deborah replied with a sly smile. Jen hesitated. He didn’t expect Cedric’s name to come up here.
“I don’t know how you heard, but I haven’t been dieting as much as you think.”
Turning his head back to Deborah, Jen spoke slowly.
“But did I really lose that much weight?”
“Rather than saying you lost weight, I’d be grateful if you saw it as a successful attempt to shed some pounds.”
“Stop talking nonsense and eat properly.”
Jen said with a grimace.
“Did you eat properly today? And why have you been waiting without sleeping until now, getting up as early as dawn?”
Deborah thought with a smiling face.
‘As expected, he called me to nag.’
However, this wasn’t an ordinary nagging. It was nagging mixed with concern for her.
‘Why does he care so much about me? Is it because of Lady Saint? Anyway, I should be thankful.’
She smiled slightly and said, “I was reading a book. I wasn’t waiting for you while enduring sleepiness.”
“What book?”
Jen asked sharply.
‘It seems like he’s in a bad mood.’
Deborah awkwardly laughed and said, “It’s a detective novel called ‘The Murder Cases of Neua River.'”
“How far have you read?”
“I’ve read up to the vicinity of the first case.”
“Then you must be curious about the culprit.”
Jen said, raising an eyebrow. Deborah nodded.
“Probably, yes?”
“If you don’t want to know the culprit right now, eat that.”
Jen pointed to the soup, saying it with a smug smile.
Deborah’s eyes widened.
“Have you read that book?”
“Why is it so surprising? Is it that strange for me to read a book?”
“No, rather than that, I thought you wouldn’t have time to read because you’re busy.”
“That’s correct. I haven’t read it.”
Jen said calmly. Looking at Deborah’s eyes, which were quiet but surprised, he continued.
“I met someone who wanted to invest in making a play out of that story. So, although not as detailed as reading the book, I know the contents.”
“I see.”
“Yes. So, for a book that I read with great interest, not reading it interestingly and taking good care of it from now on as well.”
It was a charming threat. Deborah, with a smile that seemed to disappear soon like a snowflake, replied.
“Thank you for your kindness. But you don’t have to worry so much.”
“Is that how you want it to be?”
“Yes?”
“How do you stop worrying?”
Jen asked with a mixed voice of sigh. Deborah had nothing to say.
By saying this, it felt like he really cared a lot about her.
So, regardless of Lady Saint or Dia, it seemed like Jen worried entirely out of his own will.
‘That can’t be true.’
With a faint smile, Deborah still held the warm soup bowl. She must have awakened the chef to make this on a late night.
‘Sorry to the chef.’
However, despite this apologetic feeling, she didn’t feel bad. On the contrary, it felt comforting.
Seeing Deborah ladling the soup, Jen said, “I don’t intend to nag all the time. If you take care of yourself properly from now on and relieve my worries, I might give you gifts occasionally.”
Deborah, who had swallowed a spoonful of the warm soup, smiled as she spoke.
“It’s okay. I’m not a child.”
“Well, if you see what I’ve prepared, your thoughts might change.”
Behind me, Jen pulled out something and presented it. Deborah put down the warm soup bowl and reached for the can.
‘What’s this?’
As she opened the cold can, a rustling sound was heard, along with a subtly lingering sweet fragrance. It was undoubtedly candy.
“Do you like it?”
Jen said with a smirk. His golden eyes, containing the flames of the fireplace, were reflected in Deborah’s large pupils.
His eyes were intense, warm, and beautiful.
And Deborah knew a boy with eyes exactly like Jen’s pupils.
That boy’s golden eyes were also intense, warm, and beautiful. Just like Jen now…
Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
