He Who Covets the Abandoned Bride (10 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 161
“What a truly curious coincidence.”
Laila wondered who exactly this woman standing before her was connected to in the royal family. Isabella? Or perhaps the king, the first prince… or maybe even a third party….
There were many possibilities, but if this person was curious about the connection between the count and herself, it seemed quite likely that it was Isabella.
In that case, she was certainly someone Laila needed to impress.
Laila smiled brightly and racked her brain, trying hard to guess what kind of reply the woman would appreciate.
“Thanks to that, I was even invited to the count’s mansion once and received a splendid reception. During our conversation then, I was truly amazed by his erudition.”
“What kind of topics did you mostly discuss?”
“Hmm….”
Laila pondered whether it would be better here to make the count appear suspicious or not.
Yet, regardless of whom this woman had been sent by, Laila decided it would be wiser to lean toward the former approach if she wanted to draw the woman’s interest.
Laila opened the fan she’d been holding and covered her mouth with it, then whispered softly enough for only the woman to hear.
“The count seemed especially interested in theories of governance. I suppose that’s only natural, considering he dreams of a future guiding the nation alongside the first princess, doesn’t it?”
“So the count is indeed thinking in grand terms.”
Watching the other woman respond so calmly, Laila subtly curved her eyes into a smile behind her fan. Straightening her posture again to create some distance, Laila turned her gaze toward the count and his wife.
“To be honest, I can hardly imagine what might be lacking in the count. From literature to philosophy—and I’ve even heard his scientific knowledge runs deep.”
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
Short intro:
What she can’t stand the most is the streets full of effeminate men, especially that so-called top beauty whom she avoids at all costs.
Shen Yaoxing looks at Jiang Mingyue, who keeps approaching her with coy shyness.
Shen Yaoxing: Bro, don’t be like this, I’m really about to throw up!
She fears nothing in heaven or earth, except for him getting close to her.
*
At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
This dealt a heavy blow to Jiang Mingyue, and he vowed to make her, like everyone else, fall at his feet in worship!
