I Had the Enemy's Baby (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 40
“I want to pick the flower myself.”
To Clodel, the brief glimpse of his smiling face was far more precious than the dress she had received today.
‘I won’t accept any more gifts. No, I really should stop. Otherwise, strange rumors might spread through the territory.’
‘What kind of rumors?’
‘That the wicked maiden of Vermonde married into Temnes and is squandering the estate’s fortune on luxuries.’
‘Ha. Haha.’
Very occasionally, Kai An showed her his smiling face.
It was like a single ray of sunlight briefly breaking through dark storm clouds.
Like a shooting star slicing across a summer night’s sky, momentarily parting the darkness.
Sometimes like thunder stretching out beside a tender leaf trembling with raindrops, as though the branch itself were reaching forth.
Brief, sudden, and at times so intense it left an afterimage in Clodel’s eyes.
‘Why on earth is he smiling?’
The first time he had smiled was when she flailed helplessly and fell into the water.
Back then, she figured it must have looked ridiculous—so she let it go.
But because she absolutely couldn’t understand what made Kai An smile, Clodel felt frustrated.
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.”
