I Ended Up Living Next Door to My Ex-Husband (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 65
A few hours after entering the capital’s Futures Exchange.
I was just stepping out of the trading floor after completing my transaction.
“Your Highness Rebecca, you won the item you so desperately wanted—why do you seem so unsettled?”
Adrian, who had been watching my face intently until then, asked cautiously.
I looked up at him with lifeless eyes and choked back a sob.
“Adrian… I think this investment is doomed…”
“Pardon? What do you mean?”
By now, all the rivals had left, and the lobby stood utterly empty.
Standing alone in its center, I sighed deeply, head bowed.
‘Why didn’t Anton Baker show up?’
Of course, it was common for the original story’s details to warp slightly the moment one possessed a character.
But that usually meant the male lead falling for a transmigrated woman, or the female lead suddenly turning into a hidden antagonist…
‘Who could’ve guessed the entire economic climate would shift this drastically?’
Ugh! I shuddered, clutching my hair tightly with both hands.
Adrian, pretending not to notice my distress, deliberately rolled his eyes away.
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.”

Now that Cedric has imprinted on Rebecca, does that mean he can feel when she’s in danger? I don’t think they really explained the benefits of it.
Oh wait… isn’t that the habit that Camila has? Or are they just trying to use this to show anxiety?
This has got to be 100% Lobelia. She’s trying to get her spot back.
