I Didn't Really Want to Do Farming! (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 140
“No, don’t!”
Adrian, hearing someone’s urgent cry, stopped mid-reach for the flower and turned toward the sound. The one who had called out to her was Princess Stella, who had just entered the tea party drawing everyone’s attention.
Though invited specially by the Duchess, her dress was nothing extraordinary, and throughout the event, she hadn’t engaged in conversation with anyone else.
It wasn’t that she was shy—rather, she gave the impression of deliberately trying to fade into the background.
Though Adrian hadn’t done anything wrong, the scolding tone of the sudden shout made her face flush bright red.
“Did I… perhaps make a mistake?”
Adrian’s voice was as faint as the buzz of a mosquito. Already anxious in this difficult setting, she feared she might have committed a grave blunder, leaving her mind blank with worry.
Perhaps it was improper to pick up a fallen flower without the host’s permission, or maybe the Phili flower itself was so precious that outsiders weren’t allowed to touch it—either way, it would have been a serious breach of etiquette.
Straightening her back from the bow she’d made to pick up the flower, Adrian clasped her trembling hands together politely and glanced around at the noblewomen standing like a screen around her.
Her eyes then met those of Princess Stella, who was cautiously approaching with a face just as flushed as her own.
As Stella drew closer, Adrian’s eyes widened further. From afar, she hadn’t realized it—but up close, Stella was more beautiful than any woman Adrian had ever met.
Though adorned with no glittering jewels, her radiant platinum hair and uniquely colored eyes shimmered like gems. Moreover, her porcelain-white skin was utterly flawless, without even the tiniest speck of dust.
Completely unlike Adrian herself, who wore thick makeup to conceal her bumpy, acne-covered skin. Afraid of being compared if they stood too close, Adrian quickly stepped back a pace.
Princess Stella’s waist looked so slender it could be encircled with one hand. Instinctively, Adrian raised her clasped arms slightly to cover her own plump stomach.
It wouldn’t actually hide anything, but the gesture came without her even realizing it.
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.”
