The hand reaching towards her face was probably to remove something. Even with Jen’s unpredictable nature, surely he wouldn’t…
It was at that moment when Deborah’s thoughts were in turmoil.
“Give it here.”
Jen’s hand, which had been stretched out in the air, stopped abruptly.
“Huh?”
“Those boxes.”
Ah, he was reaching out for that.
Deborah let out a relieved chuckle and attempted to place the chocolate boxes in his large hand, knowing he could easily carry the burden that was heavy for her.
“…….”
Just as she was about to hand over the boxes, Deborah hesitated.
Seeing her pause, Jen furrowed his brows and twitched his eyebrow, and her intelligent eyes looked up at him.
“It’s okay. I’ll carry them. After all, they’re all mine.”
Her intelligent eyes were now full of mischief. Had her look been annoying, Jen wouldn’t have been so captivated as he was now.
Deborah breezed past Jen with light steps. Jen, suddenly coming to his senses, quickly closed the gap between them.
“Hand them all over.”
Despite his demanding tone, Deborah chuckled.
“Weren’t they a gift for me?”
“You know that’s not what I mean, don’t you?”
With a small bickering, the two walked together towards the same destination.
They had no reason to bid each other farewell simply because the night was deep. They just had to walk. Eventually, they would reach a warm place to rest their heads.
‘How grateful that is.’
Deborah found this moment, amidst the entire day, to be the most peaceful. Even Jen, who frequently furrowed his brows, seemed relaxed now.
However, Jen’s mind was far from peaceful.
The image of Deborah stiffening as he reached out to her kept haunting him.
Why did she seem so frightened just a moment ago, when she was playful and light-hearted with him now?
‘Did I see it wrong?’
It would be a relief if he had, but if not?
Jen clenched his fist. In this uncertain situation, he was not willing to overlook anything carelessly.
Understanding her past would resolve the unease he felt now. And someone who knew her recent whereabouts was soon due to arrive in the capital.
At that time, a man holding a notebook filled with the information Jen was curious about stood gazing at the night sea.
‘Strange, Gracian.’
The capital was overflowing with street lights, but here the only light came from a distant, old lighthouse and torches stuck in dilapidated buildings.
‘It’s natural for areas outside the capital to be less developed.’
That was understandable. But it was odd that the windy seaside felt less cold than the capital.
“What kind of country is this?”
His beautiful voice was lost in the sound of waves crashing against the rocks.
‘I might be able to leave earlier than I thought. I expected to be stuck here for at least a week.’
The man looked at the notebook in his hand. It contained information about only one person.
‘What would they say if I handed over the whole notebook? I should transcribe it on the train back.’
Lowering the notebook, the man silently lifted his head. The moon and stars in the sky shone beautifully. They would look just as beautiful from the capital, as they did from Astrian.
‘Deborah Johnson. I should have seen her before coming here.’
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.
