Love Me Just Once (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 23
At that, the man’s face turned bright red. Ophelia, who had never seen a human face so flushed, asked,
“Why… is your face like that?”
“D-Don’t you feel any shame at all? How can you say such things with your own mouth…?”
And before she could even reply, Idren stormed out of the carriage.
Slam.
Ophelia flinched at the door closing more roughly than expected. Apparently, the other party felt the same, as the door opened and closed once more—this time with an exceedingly gentle motion.
Hearing his footsteps quickly fading away, Ophelia slightly poked her head toward the carriage door. Through the window, she could see the man’s back already walking far ahead.
“…Why go off sulking all by yourself like that?”
Honestly, he was more sensitive than a rare orchid.
Muttering softly under her breath, Ophelia turned her body back to its original position. Leaning against the backrest, she closed her eyes. She hadn’t slept well the night before, so she felt a bit tired.
Just as she was about to drift off, however, she heard another knock on the door.
Annoyed by the inconsiderate noise, Ophelia furrowed her brow.
At first, she thought it might be Idren and nearly spoke, but upon reflection, it seemed to be someone else. That proud man wouldn’t have stormed off like that only to return so soon.
Just as she was about to ask the person outside in a slightly gentler tone, a soft voice came through.
“Your Highness, we’ve arrived at the canal.”
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.
