I Had the Enemy's Baby (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 215
“Why is my body suddenly like this?”
Clodel was lying weakly on the bed, too exhausted even to come out and greet him.
While aboard the ship, he had coaxed her, saying that if she wanted to see the baby, she had to at least manage this much, so Clodel took some medicine and even drank a thin soup that seemed to be made of rinsed meat and vegetables.
The woman who had previously cried, saying she couldn’t even swallow food, now appeared to regain vitality simply from having consumed water.
Since arriving at the castle, she had been recovering daily—comforted by the familiarity of her old quarters and buoyed by the joy of soon seeing her baby.
Yet when Kai An saw Clodel’s pale face, he became terribly anxious.
“She looks as if she might stop breathing any second.”
Sun Ui had remarked that, given her condition, it wouldn’t be surprising if she passed away from old age any moment now—and those words had left a deep impression on him.
Looking at Clodel’s health, he was reminded of a pile of firewood completely burned out.
On the battlefield, they would sometimes gather whatever they could find, stack it high, and set it ablaze just to warm their bodies.
If you blew gently on the dwindling embers, they’d glow bright red again—but the moment you turned your attention elsewhere, even briefly, you’d return to find only gray ash scattered about.
Clodel seemed exactly like that: whenever they managed to coax her into eating and sleeping well, her complexion would momentarily brighten as if she might recover, yet in the next instant, she’d appear so precarious that he feared she might not wake up the following day.
Instinctively slipping his arm beneath her back to pull her frail body closer, Kai An was startled.
“Are you cold?”
As he embraced Clodel, he felt her trembling faintly—and her skin, where he touched it, felt unnaturally cold, as though it didn’t belong to a living person.
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.”
