He Who Covets the Abandoned Bride (10 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 65
Adrian hadn’t expected to hear those words from Laila, leaving him unsure how to respond.
“Laila…”
No other words came to mind besides her name.
His chest trembled faintly. He’d never been deeply moved by others’ words before, yet he cherished every phrase she had spoken.
“It won’t truly absolve me, but…”
“No. No, Laila.”
The Laila who had once been not only pure but almost naive no longer existed.
Adrian felt pained, knowing he hadn’t protected that lovely image of her from childhood. He could clearly imagine how much she had regretted that day and endured countless hardships during their separation.
How much she must have suffered. How many tears she must have shed.
He regretted—and even felt guilty—that he hadn’t been there to wipe away her tears.
Yet at the same time, he was glad to see the maturity of the lover he’d waited for so long.
“Absolution isn’t really necessary. But if your realization over these ten years leads you to say that… I want to respect it too.”
Laila closed her eyes tightly without offering any reply. Adrian, understanding this as her silent agreement, felt his heart clench fiercely.
Adrian pulled Laila’s body closer to his own and gently placed her small head onto his lap.
Almost immediately, Maeve returned and knocked on the door.
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!

This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
