One Day My Sister Died (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 040
Chapter 40. The Hotter the Night, the Sweeter the Lips Should Be
2023.11.09.
How long had it been since they last exchanged such meaningless jokes like this?
Lancelot, delighted by the smooth flow of conversation, plopped himself down onto Clade Euphris’s rocking chair.
The rocking chair, no longer creaking, gently cradled Lancelot.
“Gustav! So you’ve finally succeeded in your operation! That damn creaking noise had been making my nerves even more sensitive.”
“It wasn’t me.”
Housekeeper Gustav, carefully tucking the file Clade had poked toward him into his arms, left with an ambiguous reply.
Lancelot glanced at Clade with surprise.
“You wouldn’t have bent over and oiled it yourself.”
“What’s so interesting about my household affairs?”
“You already forgot what I just said? Strictly speaking, it’s Eddie’s house later on, isn’t it?”
“It’s not yet. And you have no right to talk either.”
Clade propped his chin on the table and exposed his face to the sunlight.
“Huh—?”
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!

This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”

The more her trembling eyes scrutinized his face, the more her heart sank.
It’s hard to believe that they still can’t talk to each other sincerely…
“Did you know your heart is weak?”
Urgh, it’s so annoying that he started to believe her only now…
Fail.
Don’t fail then ?? 😭 Gosh I need to read something less stressing

It’s good
It’s such a bittersweet moment, just when you think the end of an era is approaching.
I’m anxious to see how everything is resolved, but I also feel sorry to see how the protagonist is misunderstood and can’t fix her situation
