My Fiancé Keeps Trying to Raise Me (16 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 23
“Empress?”
“Mm.”
“Why the Empress?”
Audrey seized the opening, her sharp question piercing straight through his thoughts.
Mikhail had always admired Audrey for her intelligence and rationality, but right now, he resented just how clever she was.
Swallowing hard to hold back his tears, he said,
“Sigh… the truth is… she’s a guest invited by Her Majesty. It seems this young lady is to be my fiancée.”
‘Good heavens—what did he just say?’
Only Anet stood frozen, mouth agape, unable to follow the conversation or muster a rebuttal.
For as soon as Mikhail spoke, Audrey burst into tears again—and Mikhail started crying right along with her.
Anet, who had been hesitating whether to reveal her true identity to someone outside the imperial family just to comfort the weeping children, suddenly remembered the Empress Dowager and the Empress hiding behind the bushes.
She had hoped they’d slip away while she stepped forward—but apparently reluctant to leave her behind, both women remained stubbornly in place.
The realization that they’d overheard everything sent a chill down Anet’s spine.
‘I confidently stepped in, certain I could quietly resolve this mess—and now THIS happens!’
She had no idea that the Empress Dowager was barely suppressing laughter as if enjoying the funniest farce in the world, and that Charlotte was so mortified by her son’s outrageous misunderstanding that her face had turned scarlet, hands clutching her throat.
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!
