The day after she decided to catch the thief.
From the morning dew, Evelia went down to the kitchen and asked the cooks to bake a variety of delicious cookies.
And she took out two bottles of the most beautifully colored orange juice from the refrigerator and packed them neatly into a teddy bear bag.
As the two bottles of juice went into the small teddy bear bag, the cute face of the teddy bear swelled up as if it was about to burst.
“Miss, are you going to eat all of this?”
The chefs who baked cookies in various flavors, including chocolate, vanilla, and almond, in the shape of chicks asked as they filled a basket full of cookies. It seemed like she might be able to eat it all if she was the young miss.
“Nono, it’s for a trap.”
The various kinds of cookies and the most beautifully colored orange juice were a trap.
A trap to catch the food thief who secretly came to Evelia’s secret base and stole the precious food she had been saving.
“A trap?”
“Oh, yes. A trap!”
Explaining it again and again to the chefs who didn’t understand her clumsy pronunciation, Evelia held the bloated teddy bear bag and carried the cookie basket in both hands.
Good, with this, I’ll gently lure the thief and then catch them in the act!
Evelia, who moved from her room to her secret base with a necklace, laid out the cookies all along the path from outside the shack of the secret base to the front door of the shack.
And she went inside the shack and put the whole cookie basket down, and put the appetizing orange juice next to it.
Alright, let’s see you try to steal these!
“…..”
But before that, maybe I should take a few cookies……
Evelia, who was about to fall into her own trap, hesitated about whether to eat or not, but eventually reached out sneakily to the cookie basket.
Eating one or two wouldn’t make them lose their value as bait.
The thief would surely come to steal the cookie basket and juice.
I’ll just eat one! No, I’ll just eat two!!
Despite her determination, by the time she shook off the crumbs from her mouth, feeling like she had finally eaten a real cookie, the cookie basket was showing the bottom in places.
“….Could I be the real thief…..?”
She mumbled in confusion as she stared blankly at the remaining cookies, then gently covered them with a cloth so as not to fall into the temptation of cookies anymore.
Evelia, who grabbed one of the two bottles of juice she had brought for a trap, dragged a mat with her other hand and found a spot in the nearby bushes.
From here, I’ll watch like a tiger and catch the thief in one go as soon as they appear!
However, the warm sunlight pouring over her head and her stomach filled with cookies and juice were perfect conditions for falling asleep.
Her little head quickly nodded off, and her eyes, which had been sparkling like a hawk’s, suddenly became dreamy like a fish’s.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]“Huh? I fell asleep!!”
What do you mean, drowsy.
Evelia, who woke up from a deep sleep lying flat on the mat, was startled and ran into the shack.
Hoping that the thief hadn’t already been and gone.
Seeing that the cloth covering the cookie basket was still there, it seemed that they hadn’t come yet.
Just as Evelia was about to sigh in relief. Only air was visible in the bottle of orange juice that had been carefully placed next to it.
Breathing in sharply, she quickly ran to the table and flicked off the cloth that had been covering the cookie basket, to find that only the crumbs of the cookies eaten were scattered here and there.
“Damn it…..”
Evelia’s face turned bright red with anger as she missed the thief in front of her eyes and had her food stolen again.
“Really….. You’re really bad!! I’ll catch you and kick your butt!!”
She was shouting with her fists tightly clenched.
“Who, me?”
With the sound of chewing, a question came.
“Huh!!”
Evelia screamed in surprise and turned around.
Then, the silvery hair that hurt her eyes was the first to catch her eye.
Wanting to remember the face of the thief properly, she met his eyes, and his eyes, glowing like rubies, were somewhat mysterious. Evelia’s mouth opened slightly.
The silver hair and red eyes were as beautiful as a landscape, and the boy’s indifferent expression was like a picture.
“What are you looking at?”
And that picture was bad luck.
“These cookies are delicious.”
Moreover, he was munching on the cookies she had set as a trap. Evelia came to her senses.
“You….. You’re the thief!!”
“No, the thief is you.”
The boy spoke incredulously.
“You ate all my cookies and juice?!”
“And you’ve built a house on my land without permission?”
“Why is this your land…”
As Evelia referred to the boy as ‘you’, he tilted his head slightly and raised an eyebrow.
As if he didn’t like the address.
Startled, she only then took in the boy’s height and atmosphere that she hadn’t noticed before.
He seemed younger than her little brother, Cedric, but at least seemed older than her.
Evelia subtly observed and changed her address.
“You…”
Humph.
“Rascal…?”
“…”
“Braggart…?”
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.”
