Life After Divorce (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 77
She had skillfully declined the drinks offered one by one by the executives since the beginning, but eventually pretended to give in and took a few sips, her cheeks now flushed bright red.
Etricia’s eyes grew slightly unfocused, her smile softened. Though she stood rooted in place, exchanging words with people here and there, the impression that she was merely holding on was strong.
Just then, a woman approached shyly, twisting a strand of her tousled hair with her fingers.
“Um….”
It was at that precise moment that Etricia, feeling dizzy, squeezed her eyelids shut tightly. Edmund swiftly brushed past the approaching woman and headed straight toward Etricia.
He caught her just as she stumbled, wrapping an arm firmly around her waist—his movement fluid and natural, like gliding through water.
Ah—it was just as Etricia let out a sigh and lifted her head.
Edmund, noticing a hand reaching toward Etricia’s waist, pulled her close with firm resolve. The hand belonged to that thorn in his side—the man who had been laughing and chatting amiably with Etricia inside the building.
Struck by the frosty glare, the man hesitated. Then, as if realizing there might be some misunderstanding, he offered an awkward smile, rolled his eyes, and suddenly widened them.
His lips twitched.
“Are you perhaps the lady’s partner?”
“…….”
Partner? Edmund’s expression twisted subtly. Come to think of it, since earlier… The man muttered under his breath, then covered his mouth with his hand and bowed politely.
“You stand out so strikingly—I wondered who you might be. So you’re the partner Lady Etricia mentioned. It would’ve been nice to enjoy the evening together. Ah, by the way, I’m from the Eastern Trade Guild.”
At the word “guild,” Edmund’s eyes narrowed sharply.
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
