“Rosebelia!”
As soon as I got off the carriage, Daisy, waving her hand towards me, came into view. Daisy, who had run towards me for a month, pushed her face close without giving me a chance to speak.
“Daisy?”
“Are you hurt anywhere?”
“No. As you can see, I came back safely.”
“I believed you would, but…”
Stepping back a bit, Daisy’s eyes moved busily. After thoroughly examining me from head to toe, she suddenly pursed her lips.
Why does she seem like she might cry at any moment?
“Oh, come to think of it, I should have thanked you immediately.”
As I changed the subject, Daisy blinked her eyes slowly.
“Huh? What…”
“You sent cranberries, right? Daisy mentioned it for me. I really enjoyed them during the expedition.”
“Really?”
The color quickly rose above Daisy’s face. I nodded in response.
“I should have packed more generously. Would you like to come in? There are many delicious things inside.”
Although the foods treated at the Duke’s residence were all delicious, I had a lunch appointment with Ian afterward.
“How about taking a walk with me?”
It was the end of autumn, but the sunlight was good for a change. Pointing to the vast yard of the Duke’s residence with a nod, Daisy cheerfully nodded.
“That’s fine too!”
“…How’s your body?”
“As Rosebelia suggested, it had an effect.”
“Really?”
“I tried to walk a bit and took a stroll while looking at the sunlight. After that, my appetite improved, and I felt more energetic than before.”
Daisy, who stood still, showed tightly clenched fists. It seemed like she wanted to show that she had gained more strength than before.
I’ve never seen her so lively before.
“How about dizziness?”
“It was fine for a while, but a little dizzy a while ago…”
Dizziness should gradually decrease. Why was she dizzy again?
“Did you feel dizzy while your heart was beating fast?”
“It’s not that…”
Daisy, whose words trailed off, rolled her eyes vaguely. She wavered between speaking and keeping silent, like someone pondering.
“What happened?”
“No, I had trouble sleeping for a few days, so that’s why. But now, I’m fine.”
“You have to sleep well. That way, your strength will improve, and your health will get better.”
Daisy with sparkling eyes nodded slightly. What was important to her was to manage well so that her condition wouldn’t worsen.
For that to happen, consistent exercise and care are necessary.
“How was practicing with Edwin? Wasn’t it difficult for you?”
“Ah, that… practice?”
What’s with this reaction?
If my perception is correct, she seemed flustered as soon as I mentioned Edwin’s name.
“Has Edwin made any mistakes towards you, Daisy?”
“No, he didn’t make any mistakes. But…”
“It’s okay, go ahead.”
Daisy cautiously spoke, glancing at me as if checking my reaction.
“Edwin said something a bit strange to me.”
“Strange? What did he say?”
Despite trying to act indifferent, I could feel a slight tremor in my lips.
He said something strange to Daisy, who I had allowed to meet. What could it be?
“…He said I’m brave, beautiful, and lovely.”
Huh? That’s not strange; it’s accurate.
“Well…”
As I was about to praise Edwin, saying it wasn’t strange, I stopped and looked at Daisy.
Edwin said such things to Daisy…
Has he already confessed?
“So, I thought it was a confession, but it seems it wasn’t.”
Huh? What’s she talking about?
Daisy’s face, which had become downcast in my field of view, was full of disappointment.
She thought it was a confession, but it wasn’t…
“How do you feel about Edwin, Daisy?”
“Huh?”
Her violet eyes blinked slightly, as if surprised by the unexpected question.
“I think Daisy’s feelings are more important.”
“…I don’t know either.”
“If Edwin properly confesses, will you accept it?”
Daisy’s eyelashes swayed like waves. After a moment of contemplation, she looked around and gestured to me.
Approaching closely, she leaned slightly, and a small whisper reached my ears.
“I think I will.”
“Miss, where should I drop you off in the square?”
“Over there, in front. I’ll find my way back.”
“Yes, understood.”
After getting off the carriage, I headed straight towards the clock tower. On this peculiar day, I felt a random thought that there were unusually many people in the square, and I quickened my pace.
As I turned the corner and came out, I saw the clock tower located in the center of the square. There was no need to exert effort to find where Ian was.
Because a man who stood alone in the middle of the square caught my eye right away.
“Klein.”
Ian’s eyes softened as he spotted me at the right moment.
“You’re here.”
Ian was dressed casually in a shirt. It wasn’t the first time I saw him in casual clothes, but for some reason, it felt awkward.
Is it because it’s the first time we made plans and met outside?
“…Is it not tiring?”
“Huh?”
Ian blinked his eyes and asked in confusion.
“Because there are many people, it might be noisier.”
“Although it’s noisy, if I keep hearing people’s inner thoughts non-stop, sometimes it’s better to hear the noise than to hear hallucinations.”
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.”
