Because… although she momentarily forgot due to the intense memory of ‘Vishlevane’s Dragon,’ right before that incident, she vividly remembered that there had been a strange atmosphere between them. Moreover, he seemed indifferent to the fact that she was the wife of ‘another man.’
The flesh, the memories, and even the soul were the same, but why did he insist that I’m not his husband?
‘I have to be twice as careful…’
No matter how innocent she might be, she was well aware of what happened between couples. Guards had no way to be careful with their words when Adel passed by. In many places, rumors about what Adel did and how she did it spread noisily. Especially, it got worse whenever Adel passed by.
Since coming to the North for the first time, the mere mention of such stories made her blush and flee because of the awkward situation it had become.
Lost in deep thought, Adel realized that Valentine was leisurely looking her over. Adel’s neck felt hot.
“It’s too early… Th-that’s right. What you’re doing is definitely against etiquette.”
The excuse was hurried, and the stammering voice sounded even more unstable. Valentine’s eyes narrowed.
“Really, is it?”
She tightly closed her lips and nodded her head. With Adel’s hips adjusted so that they were above Valentine’s left forearm, he used his free hand to gently wipe her lips. The soft and pliant lips yielded to his touch.
“Adel.”
“Yes, yes?”
“What kind of thoughts are you having… to be against etiquette to enter the bedroom during the day?”
“…….”
“Hmm?”
The teasing eyes facing her were playful. She suddenly felt sad.
“Did you have those thoughts from the beginning?”
“…….”
“So, you already know everything like this…”
Valentine swallowed a forced laugh. Adel’s round eyes sank with a sense of sorrow. Instead of answering, Valentine gently placed Adel on the ground.
“Come.”
Adel’s emerald-green eyes widened. Whenever she pleaded to be put down, she would get scared as soon as he really let her go. Whether his mood was hurt or not, she could feel his gaze trailing along cautiously.
The slender spine, straightened carefully, was clearly visible, trembling without any value.
“…….”
Adel often resembled a small forest animal. With an adorable figure, she diligently ran around, wrinkled her nose, ate hesitantly, and thought. She would approach with her warm body, not refusing the warmth even though she was wary of when she might be eaten. Always.
Valentine smiled and grabbed the door handle.
“Let’s talk inside.”
“Here.”
“You said you wanted to see here… and you came all the way.”
Adel looked alternately at his face and the door in surprise. It was something he said in passing when his mind was not intact.
Although she had wished for it desperately, she hadn’t expected him to really allow her to enter the study, whether it was back then or now. Moreover, the fact that he remembered it all was even more astonishing.
Valentine, who opened the door to the study, reached out to her.
“Be careful… It’s dark inside.”
Normally, she would have been taken aback and declined his kindness, but her desire to check the study with her own eyes was greater. For a moment, she forgot about embarrassment and eagerly grabbed Valentine’s hand.
As he had said, the study was dark. When her vision was blocked, the peculiar smell of old paper burning became more pronounced.
“Just a moment…”
As if one could clearly see even in the darkness, Valentine, who had walked confidently to a certain point in the study without hesitation, let go of her hand and disappeared. Soon, the sound of curtains being drawn could be heard, and a bright light poured in. Adel squinted her dazzled eyes and, after a moment, looked around before letting out a sigh.
“Wow.”
With eyes full of curiosity, she glanced around the study. In the center, a large table was placed, and next to it, massive bookshelves were arranged at regular intervals. Each shelf was filled with parchment, old manuscripts, and even herbal books.
“He really brought the study from Narsau Castle as it is.”
At least regarding the study, Oscar’s words were correct. Adel was delighted to find bookshelves organized with knowledge of herbology. In that moment, she even forgot her concerns about Valentine.
“Well, you can… write.”
“Can I really?”
“There’s no one who can read it, anyway, so… It’s better than the library for telling stories.”
He replied playfully.
“So, what’s this ‘discussion’ about?”
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
