I Had the Enemy's Baby (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 65
“It seemed improper for Duke Temnes and the Duchess of Vermonde to share the same room, as they might not rest comfortably, so I arranged separate chambers…….”
“There appears to be a misunderstanding. One room is sufficient.”
Kai An cut off the servant’s words sharply.
Then, fixing the servant with his uniquely frigid gaze—so cold that not even the tip of a needle could slip through—he glared.
“While serving His Majesty the King at the royal palace, have you failed to grasp the genealogy of the royal family? The Duchess of Vermonde? Why did you refer to my wife as the Duchess of Vermonde?”
Kai An must have been born in the wrong land.
From every angle, this man, radiating coldness as though ice flowed through his veins, seemed far better suited to the icy realm of Valmont than to the sun-drenched lands of Rowen.
“I—I, that was… merely a mistake.”
“The Duchess of Vermonde, you say? Ah, yes. That would make her my mother-in-law—the lady of Valmont, wouldn’t it?”
Intimidated by his sarcastic tone, the palace servants and maids all lowered their heads, exchanging only furtive glances.
“Remember this clearly: my wife is of Temnes. If I ever hear that disrespectful title ‘Duchess of Vermonde’ attached to the rightful Duchess Temnes even once more, I’ll ensure the tongue that made that error is silenced by a blade. Keep that in mind.”
“Yes, Your Grace. I sincerely apologize.”
The servant bowed deeply, nearly touching his forehead to the floor, repeatedly begging forgiveness, until Kai An finally unclasped his arms and reached for Clodel’s hand, which had frozen stiff alongside the servants.
“Show us the way. After such a long journey, we must rest immediately.”
“Yes, this way, please.”
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.”

Welcome, Your Majesty, you have honored us with your presence.
I have a feeling something is coming… I hope my feeling is wrong.
Do not grieve later when you learn that your support, your brother, is gone.
