“Even if I say this, you can still do it yourself. If you can’t do it now, you won’t be able to do it later. If you want to drink wine like adults, you should be able to say what you want. Lady, telling people what you want won’t make them hate you. Throwing a tantrum and saying what you want are different things.”
Maeyana accurately pointed out the concern that Arianthe was worried about. Arianthe’s fear of being rejected… Rejection is something everyone wants to avoid. Arianthe had a much stronger defense mechanism in such situations.
Arianthe dropped her gaze sharply at Maeyana’s words. Her two feet, hanging like they were tied to a chair, swung lonely.
Maeyana continued, “I’m not scolding or disliking you just because I say this, you know?”
Arianthe’s gaze was abruptly directed
At that moment, Arianthe interjected with a puzzled voice.
“What are you two talking about?”
Maeyana casually replied, “Vainty is wearing stockings with holes right now.”
Upon hearing this, Vainty, who didn’t even have stockings with holes, widened her eyes in disbelief.
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
“You just said that. You have a hole, and your big toe is sticking out.”
Arianthe started laughing uproariously at Maeyana’s words.
“Really? Did a hole really appear? I want to see it!”
“No holes! Maeyana is lying!”
“Show me! Now! I want to see!”
“You can’t show her, Vainty. What if the Lady laughs so hard she faints? Hide your big toe well.”
“Hey!”
Arianthe was now pounding the table with both palms, laughing. While Vainty looked bewildered, Maeyana, aligning herself with Arianthe’s eye level, spoke.
“Look, Lady. Vainty always says to me, ‘Do it like this,’ right? She does the same to me. If you do the same to the Duke, just be a bit more polite. Instead of saying ‘Open the tea party!’ say ‘Please open the tea party,’ okay?”
“I know that too.”
Arianthe replied bluntly. However, she didn’t resist like before. In her own way, she seemed to be contemplating, stacking the crumpled dessert with her fork.
“Then I’ll bring the wine.”
Arianthe, lifting her head in surprise, opened her mouth as if she couldn’t believe it.
“Can I really drink wine?”
“Yes, you can. I’ll bring it, so wait a moment.”
Maeyana, slightly bending her knees, left the room. Arianthe, still staring at her with a dumbfounded face, looked at the blushing Vainty.
“Vainty, what if Maeyana really brings wine?”
“I’ll pour it on Maeyana’s apron. Let her do laundry, spilling sweat.”
Arianthe chuckled and stuffed a broken piece of cake into her mouth. As the powder scattered, Vainty took out a handkerchief and gently wiped Arianthe’s mouth.
Meanwhile, Maeyana went down to the kitchen, found a glass used for guest service, and filled it halfway with juice made of berries and blackberries. It looked like real wine to anyone.
Placing the glass on a silver tray, Maeyana went upstairs, coincidentally meeting Cedelloy, who was coming to find Arianthe after finishing his conversation with Jocelyn. He seemed quite tired, but his expression seemed to brighten a bit when he saw Maeyana. Was it a misconception?
Maeyana nodded slightly in greeting.
“What’s that?”
Cedelloy, looking at Maeyana, gestured towards the tray.
“Did you really sneak into the wine cellar? Moreover, it’s too early.”
“This is wine for the Lady.”
“So what?”
Seeing Cedelloy’s strong reaction, Maeyana laughed like a mischievous child.
“Just kidding, Duke. It’s just juice made from berries and blackberries. I played a little prank on the Lady.”
“Absurd. What are you teaching the child?”
“If you’re worried that the Lady will learn bad habits, you don’t have to worry. I can guarantee that won’t happen. There’s something else you should be genuinely concerned about, Duke.”
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.
