I Decline the Ex-Boyfriend of the Regretful Male Lead (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 46
News had reached the imperial palace that a young duke and his wife were coming.
A servant had just arrived to deliver this news to Serdis, who was leisurely enjoying tea in the Crown Prince’s palace. At the welcome tidings, Serdis’s crimson lips curved into a smile.
“I’ll see Anette’s face soon.”
He had anticipated this and already prepared a gift—flowers of Sertia, which Anette loved. He’d extracted this information from Edward Bayern, the only person who had ever gone on a date with Anette.
It was unsettling how thoroughly that fellow—who’d never even held a proper conversation with her—knew her preferences. Serdis was glad he’d dealt with him cleanly; it would have been hard to ignore the sight of someone panting like a dog over Anette.
“I hope they arrive before these flowers wilt.”
He murmured, gazing at the pink blooms placed in a vase. Across from him, a woman with hair the exact same color as the flowers rose from her seat. Serdis, still fixed on the flowers, asked her,
“Leaving already?”
“My task here is done.”
“What a pity. I couldn’t even buy a gift for my cousin, whom I haven’t seen in ages.”
Lily snorted, “Sure you are,” unimpressed by his tone, which carried no trace of regret.
“My task here is done.”
Since arriving in the capital, she had stayed in the imperial palace alongside Serdis—that had been her sole purpose for coming. Now that her goal was accomplished, she needed to leave before Hertian and Anette arrived.
“Heading back to Astaire Marchioness’s estate? Or north?”
“To the marchioness’s estate. My new sister-in-law seems more interested in me than I expected—if she finds out I didn’t visit Aunt Phili, she’ll grow suspicious.”
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
Wow, are prophetesses so common in this world that there are multiple renowned ones?
