Love Me Just Once (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 198
“It’s not like that.”
Ophelia had always been far too good for him. How could he even dare to think such a thing?
“It’s just… I never expected you’d… prepare something like this…”
Separate from his attraction to her physically, Idren had never thought physical intimacy was important.
No, to be precise, he believed certain stages must be reached before such an act could occur.
To him, touching skin-to-skin was merely an extra step—one that should only happen after both hearts were fully assured of each other.
Perhaps Ophelia was far bolder than he’d ever realized.
Idren flushed, inexplicably tickled by the thought.
He had so much he wanted to say to Ophelia—so many words weighed on his heart—but he couldn’t figure out how to begin.
In truth, until just moments ago, he couldn’t even believe what he’d done. Yet, fearing he’d lose this moment if he hesitated any longer, he parted his lips to speak—when Ophelia spoke first.
“We’ve been married for years now. Are you really going to act like this?”
Idren wanted to retort, asking if she even remembered how little of that marriage resembled a normal relationship.
But Ophelia was quicker. “Hush,” she softly commanded, whispering,
“You’re far too shy.”
Then she raised the arm that had been resting on his body and wrapped it around his neck.
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
Love at first sight without realizing it, gradually falling in love, slowly getting closer…
Family and national grudges, schemes and desires, good and evil, crime and punishment, she and he face the future together, seeking justice with passion!
