Meiana’s antics continued unabated. Though the soup was spilled and inedible, she ate the fluffy scrambled eggs, sautéed shrimp and fish, one after another, chattering all the while. Even rolling her feet…
“I’ll eat too!”
Ariante, who had been holding her breath, shouted as if irritated. Meiana smiled inwardly, but did not let it show as she picked up a crispy fish skin and looked at Ariante as if questioning.
“You’ll eat, Your Highness? But you said you’re not hungry.”
“I’m hungry now, so give it to me! It’s my meal!”
Meiana tilted her head and made a dubious noise.
“Even though you said you’re not hungry? Well, don’t worry. I won’t force you to eat like others. If you don’t want to eat, I’ll eat it all quietly, on your behalf.”
“No! I said I’m really hungry now! I want to eat too! Give it to me now!”
Ariante was now reaching out, about to jump off the bed. Reluctantly, Meiana put down her fork and placed the tray with the meal in front of Ariante.
“Can you really eat it?”
There was no need to wait for an answer. As soon as the tray touched her lap, Ariante looked at Meianna with sulky eyes, smeared honey on her bread just like her, and popped it into her mouth. She followed this up by taking a bite each of egg and fish dish without fussing, her cheeks puffed as she spoke.
“Stupid pig Meianna.”
Meianna clenched her teeth. She trembled, struggling to hold back her laughter.
“I want soup.”
“Alright, I’ll bring it right away. Will you eat quietly?”
“I also want more bread. You ate half of it.”
Turning away, Meianna burst into laughter this time.
“Understood, Your Highness. I’ll bring more bread. And more honey.”
Behind her, the sound of spoons and forks clinking could be heard. Meianna left the room with a light step, chuckling repeatedly.
‘Kids will be kids.’
In her past life, she had seen teachers who struggled with kids that refused to eat. It was in her mother’s daycare.
Back then, her mother had the children sit in a circle during mealtime. She sat in the middle and began eating first, causing a fuss just like Meianna had just done, as if playing with a new and fascinating toy.
‘Well, some kids still stubbornly refused to eat…’
How fortunate that Ariante was naive. She had baffled Meianna with an absurd question on the first day, asking if she was a ‘pervert,’ but deep down, she was just seven years old. A seven-year-old who didn’t have the wit to be deceived by adults…
Meianna was about to enter the kitchen. Bentie, who had been coming around the corner from the dining area, squinted at her.
“You!”
Bentie dashed towards Meianna as if to grab her sleeve. However, Meianna stood her ground, fixing her eyes on Bentie as she spoke.
“I need to bring soup to Her Highness.”
“So what? You think that’s the issue? How dare you—”
Meianna slapped away the hand that Bentie was reaching towards her. Screaming, Bentie clutched his hand as flames seemed to shoot from his eyes.
“You’re insane!”
“Bentie, it’s good that I met you. I had something to say to you. I was planning to find you after Her Highness went to sleep.”
“What… What are you talking about? You’re the one to talk, you thief!”
Meianna spoke.
“Open your door when the western lamp turns on at midnight. I’ll come to your room. If you really want to know whether I’m a thief, do as I say. But tell no one. If anyone finds out, you’ll never learn who stole your precious button.”
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
