I Received The First Time Of My Extraordinary Superior (9 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 40
Now that it’s already been exposed, what’s the point of pressing him on how he found out her secret?
“More than that, I’m curious what Lord De Niro intends to do with that knowledge.”
She needed to decide what to give up and how to act. Yet, as if mocking Sydney’s hopes, Steve De Niro continued with whatever he wanted to say.
“Victoria said she has someone she wants to introduce me to—specifically on December 31st, no less, and at a hotel. And as a bonus, she threatened that I’d regret it for the rest of my life if I didn’t go.”
“…….”
He surely wasn’t oblivious; Steve lowered his head toward Sydney and whispered like a mischievous child scheming a prank.
“Isn’t that strange? That cousin of yours even reserved the penthouse at Armand Hotel. And the woman seen with Victoria at the restaurant and bar was with Lord Redford…….”
“Lord De Niro!”
Sydney cut him off—she couldn’t bear to hear any more.
Her heart hammered wildly, and her mind went blank.
She felt so mortified she could barely keep her eyes open. Gathering what composure she could, she asked sharply,
“What exactly is it you want to say?”
Only then did Steve De Niro wipe the smile from his face and fall silent. After a brief pause, he spoke slowly.
“Let’s start as good friends who don’t wish regret upon each other.”
An offer you can’t refuse is a threat.
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.”
