I Beg Your Forgiveness (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 40
“Two days ago, he vanished without a trace—no one saw or heard a thing. She’s fiercely criticizing the officers’ incompetence for still not finding her son.”
“I once heard a story about Baroness Heinz at a banquet. She cuts up all her children’s food herself at meals, fearing they might hurt themselves with knives, and won’t even let them step into the sunlight in summer. And now, the child she protected so excessively has been kidnapped…”
“No wonder she’s furious.”
Marien looked at him silently, as if utterly indifferent to his lukewarm reply. Christoph hesitated briefly, then quickly adopted a somber expression.
“It’s truly tragic—losing a young son like that.”
Marien swallowed a short sigh and shook her head. He probably hadn’t even known Baron Heinz existed until now.
Baroness Heinz and her maid pushed past the uniformed officer’s attempts to stop them and headed resolutely upstairs—to the chief’s office.
Just then, Maxim entered the office and froze upon seeing Marien. His sharp eyes narrowed with clear displeasure. The moment their eyes met, an ominous premonition struck her—that trouble was about to unfold.
“Must Madam Schneider really involve herself in such menial tasks?”
Maxim sneered, hands shoved into his trouser pockets with an irritating smirk. Marien stopped what she was doing and stared steadily at him.
Maxim walked closer, revealing even more overt hostility. Half-muttering to himself, he grumbled,
“No wonder it seemed odd—a woman showing up at the police headquarters. Turns out she’s just a parachute appointment. Does she think this is some noblewomen’s tea party?”
Though clearly meant to be overheard, it was technically a mutter to himself. Marien’s gaze lingered a moment longer. When their eyes met again, Maxim curled one side of his lip in mockery.
“We couldn’t possibly ask Madam Schneider to sort documents. I’ll handle it—please go enjoy your tea instead.”
Marien calmly took a breath. Dealing with people like him wasn’t difficult. It was just that after giving them exactly what they deserved, she never felt quite at ease afterward.
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.”
