I Had the Enemy's Baby (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 90
“Is this necklace really Madame Elise’s?”
Today’s dress worn by Clodel was newly made by Madame Marcel specifically for this ball.
Previously, Kai An had swept through the jewelers at Rowen’s marketplace, promising, “I’ll get you something better when we go to the capital,” but there were plenty of things Clodel had never tried before.
Madame Marcel had already selected accessories in Rowen that matched the dress, but just as Clodel finished changing, Kai An brought her a different necklace.
“It’s been kept at the mansion—do you think it suits you?”
Seeing it was clearly no ordinary item, she remarked, “So they keep special jewelry at the mansion too.” It matched her dress beautifully, so she assumed he’d simply remembered it and brought it along—but now she learned it was Madame Elise’s heirloom.
Ordinarily, passing down a mother’s heirloom to one’s wife carried a deeply meaningful sentiment.
To continue the lineage meant promising the next generation.
Though it had never yet touched her finger, Kai An had originally intended to give Clodel Madame Elise’s ring as his wedding-night gift.
Even as Duke Vermonde and Kai An glared fiercely at each other, she couldn’t help but feel deeply moved by this revelation.
“Kai An gave me something like this.”
Clodel, who had little interest in jewels or high society and thus didn’t realize it, was actually wearing around her neck a treasure illustrated in detail—with accompanying diagrams—in the Royal Treasury Catalog.
“That necklace was a gift from the late Duke Vermonde to the late King Hubert—my father,” Duke Vermonde declared proudly.
“I’d heard His Late Majesty bestowed it upon a princess when she married and left the royal house. So, in the end, it has come full circle back to Vermonde.”
Kai An responded with a cold, mocking laugh.
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.”

He’s a terrible father and uncle. I don’t know why this snake is like this.
Hey, bad uncle, get away from us and leave us alone. How intrusive you are!
My dear, beautiful heroine, I support you… and I love you in that way.
