Yurisien wasn’t surprised; her mind was too tired for that. She just stared at Benjamin with a bewildered expression. Opening the door completely, he asked,
“Do you need something? I’ll get it for you.”
“What are you doing here?”
Yurisien answered his question with one of her own, looking at him with an expression that seemed to say, ‘Just what are you saying?’
“Here? Um, um… surveillance?”
“Surveillance?”
Now she noticed that he had been standing there for quite a while. Even if the window was tightly closed, the corridor without a single heater couldn’t have been warm. Benjamin, looking a bit redder than usual at the tip of his nose, said with a grimace,
“I didn’t know where you might go off to.”
“Just because I arranged things the way I wanted to, are you saying you’ll stay outside so that I can’t leave?”
“Well, something like that.”
The expectation that Daisy would have placed an obstacle at the door seemed futile. It was likely that more than one person would be involved in this.
Benjamin, who had been dedicating himself to Yurisien for more than just a day or two, didn’t look good sitting alone in the corridor. Yurisien felt a bit dizzy.
“Why not rest in the room? Anyway, my room is visible from here.”
“But if you go out and come here later, it’ll be too late.”
“Even if you’ve used the teleportation spell.”
“Still.”
Benjamin’s logic was uncommonly weak this time. Nevertheless, he didn’t step back and gestured for Yurisien to go inside.
“It’s not safe for you to wander out. Even if you have a royal seal.”
“Even so.”
Benjamin was rare to be lagging behind in logic. Still, he didn’t retreat and gestured for Yurisien to go inside.
“If you can’t sleep, I was going to have some warm tea. I’ll just bring the tea.”
“You could have asked Daisy.”
“Daisy worked hard today too, so she might be tired. Also, I just wanted to take a walk.”
“What’s the use of walking when your body is this limp?”
Benjamin, with only one arm, embraced Yurisien from outside the door. It was a good move. He seemed to be a bit weaker than usual, and with his feverish body, Benjamin blamed her with a playful expression.
“Why torture your body like this? Now that there’s no Kendally or Laphine, you can’t live safely and comfortably. Where has the elegance of the great Windsor Lady gone?”
“Please, Prince, maintain your dignity as a royal. Stop nagging…”
“What? Nagging?”
At Yurisien’s sly remark, Benjamin burst into a laugh as if he found it ridiculous. Then, looking her in the eyes, he said,
“I’m not a prince right now, so I don’t need dignity. So, just quietly listen to my nagging a bit more.”
Benjamin said so and gestured for Yurisien to come inside. It seemed like he needed to serve her hot tea personally to relieve his frustration. Yurisien tried to refute, but considering the emotional turmoil he went through during my time with Hiskliff, she decided not to say more.
“Still, I wanted to take a walk…”
It’s not like she didn’t murmur a bit.
Today, Benjamin looked at Yurisien with curiosity, as if she were whining. It was the first time she showed such behavior. Pitiful as it was, it made her cute. Eventually, Benjamin ended up losing again.
“Sometime, he did say he’d swing me around.”
I never expected to be swung around like this, let alone being completely subdued.
“Then lean on me.”
“What?”
“You said you wanted to walk. I’ll take you to the kitchen.”
“Really?”
Yurisien’s eyes sparkled. Benjamin chuckled with a gaze that asked if she was really that happy.
“Yeah, really. I’d like to carry you there, but since the future princess wants to walk, there’s no other choice.”
“Even though I’m not the princess right now.”
“Then let’s rephrase it as my lover.”
He quickly embraced Yurisien’s waist, urging her to look forward to it. Even though Yurisien could walk normally, she deliberately relaxed her body and leaned on Benjamin. It was rare to play around like this, but it turned out to be more enjoyable than expected.
At the same time, back in the palace, Hiskliff returned to his room and sat silently on the couch without lighting a single fire. Clutching the damp cloak due to his frozen eyes, he pondered the events of the day endlessly. As time passed, the dawn gradually brightened the sky. He made a decision.
Looking at the sky brightening with dawn, he muttered,
“For the last time… Just once.”
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
