Marriage with the Younger Brother of the Man Who Betrayed Me (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 23
Ernant kept his outstretched hand toward me, waiting patiently without withdrawing it.
Like a gentleman asking a lady of his fancy for a dance.
Before taking his hand, I asked Ernant,
“If I were to refuse you…?”
“Then I’d be terribly angry. I might even plot something wicked.”
“You’d do something wicked just because I refused your dance invitation? Is that a threat?”
“Of course it’s a threat. Well then, doesn’t that leave you no choice but to dance with me?”
Such brazenness—openly admitting it was a threat.
I let out a deep sigh and finally took his hand.
“…I’ll dance just one song, as practice.”
Upon hearing my reply, Ernant signaled to the violinist standing in the corner.
The violinist had come with Ernant—most likely, Ernant had brought him along from the start, fully intending for us to dance together.
At this point, I truly had no choice but to dance, so I stepped lightly forward.
As I moved my body, Ernant opened his mouth with a look of mild surprise.
“You said you didn’t even know the basics, yet you dance quite well?”
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.
