My Discarded Fiancé Returned (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 21
The sun set in the distance, dyeing Astel in crimson hues. Lucas and Serena had finally managed to reach the hilltop and catch their breath.
Because she had pushed the schedule harder than usual to demonstrate her capabilities to Lucas, a sudden wave of exhaustion crashed over her.
“Was climbing this hill as our final stop meant to show me Astel’s lights shining even at night?”
Lucas calmly saw through Serena’s intentions. Though Serena deliberately turned her head away to hide her fatigue, Lucas took another step closer to her.
“This is my second time coming here.”
“What do you mean?”
“Before visiting the ducal residence, I came here.”
Surprised by his unexpected words, Serena stared at Lucas.
“Wherever I go, once people learn my status, they scramble to hide the true state of their domain, flatter me, and put on a show.”
“So you surveyed all of Astel in advance?”
Lucas nodded.
“Only when darkness falls can one truly see a place’s real nature.”
At this point, his insight was impossible to ignore.
“And what did Your Highness see in Astel?”
“Every small house glowed brightly, and smoke rose from every chimney—just like the ducal residence.”
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
