Pregnant With The Wolf's Child (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 7
“I’m telling the truth, Marquis. Please believe me. How dare I lie under your very eyes? I merely reported what I saw.”
The clerk barely managed to speak, overwhelmed by Jade’s imposing presence.
“Larien came to Rendezvous and asked you to get train tickets to Trianon… is that right…?”
Jade gritted his teeth and checked the ledger once again.
‘It doesn’t seem falsified. She has no reason to fabricate it. And the handwriting matches Larien’s.’
That distinctive, rounded script.
The ‘Lari’ who had requested two train tickets to Trianon—she was indeed Larien.
‘Why would she want to go to Trianon?’
He tapped his long, pale fingers on the desk, lost in thought.
‘Larien never said a word to me about leaving.’
The fact that she’d planned to leave without telling him irritated Jade deeply.
‘Just who is she going with that she needed two tickets?’
His heart burned at the thought that Larien might have another man.
Jade turned his head and picked up the frame within his sight.
It held a portrait of Larien he’d secretly taken.
As he gripped it tighter, fine cracks slowly spread across the glass.
Blood began to drip from cuts made by the shattered glass, but his mind was so fixed on Larien that he felt nothing.
‘Now that she has another man, is she planning to tell me never to see her again?’
Her attitude had changed—no longer as before, now clearly drawing a line.
What had caused such a drastic change in Larien?
Yet, he refused to simply stand by and watch her leave for Trianon as if nothing had happened.
‘First, I need to hear directly from her why she’s going to Trianon.’
He could already imagine her reaction if he killed the man running away with her.
‘She’ll despise me utterly.’
She had always believed that even the most insignificant life, one seemingly without worth, was precious.
Since childhood, she’d repeatedly told him never to carelessly take a life.
‘The only reason I’ve tolerated those arrogant bastards from the Rowe cadet branch is because of Larien.’
Thanks to her, many of the cadet branch members who would otherwise have died by his hand still lived.
“Marquis… um… what should I do?”
The clerk nervously swallowed and cautiously lifted his head.
“…The customer.”
Jade pulled a pouch filled with gold coins from his drawer and tossed it onto the floor.
“What eye color did they have?”
“I—I must’ve been mistaken. I didn’t see anything.”
The clerk instantly changed his tune, grinning broadly.
“Make sure to reserve the train tickets to Trianon immediately.”
Jade’s lips curled into a cold smile.
“If you even think about speaking of this elsewhere, be prepared to lose your head—not just your tongue.”
“…M-Marquis.”
“You’d better not assume I won’t do it. I think I very well can.”
“I-I’ll remember that!”
“You may go.”
The clerk, pale as a ghost, snatched up the pouch of gold and fled in a panic.
In any case, nothing must happen that could tarnish her reputation.
Jade reopened the ledger and rubbed the spot where her nickname was written.
The disappointment of her trying to run away without him wouldn’t fade easily.
‘What should I do with you, Lari?’
[This is the timeline separator]I visited Rendezvous as soon as dawn broke.
“C-c-customer… you’ve… come…”
The visibly tense clerk greeted me.
‘Is he unwell?’
Sweat poured from his face and hands.
“Where are the tickets?”
“H-here, they are.”
I grabbed them before they could get soaked through.
“Is something wrong?”
“N-nothing at all.”
The clerk, lips firmly pressed together, opened the door for me himself and ushered me out.
‘I feel strangely like I’ve been chased out… why does my spine feel so chilled?’
As soon as I stepped outside, a shiver ran through my body.
Mary, waiting outside, looked puzzled.
“Miss, are you feeling unwell?”
Maybe I was just exhausted from walking around too long.
‘I should go somewhere to rest.’
“Mary, since we’ve safely gotten the tickets, shall we go to Lanett?”
Lanett.
A dessert shop catering exclusively to the upper class.
It wasn’t just about buying desserts—you paid for the privilege of lingering there, so the prices were steep.
‘I could technically afford it with my princess’s dignity allowance, but…’
Having lived as a commoner, such luxury felt unnecessary to me.
‘I never understood why anyone would go to such places before…’
But now that I’d gotten what I wanted, I began to see it a little.
Right before leaving, I wanted to celebrate all the hardships I’d endured until now.
‘Lanett has private rooms, so even if I get morning sickness while eating cake, no one will notice.’
“That sounds wonderful!”
Mary eagerly agreed, her face beaming.
“But, um… miss?”
Mary’s cheerful expression turned anxious as she whispered.
“I think someone’s been following us since earlier.”
“…Someone following us?”
I looked behind me at Mary’s words, but saw no one suspicious.
“Maybe you’re mistaken? No one has any reason to follow us.”
I gestured to my plain, unassuming clothes meant to make me look like an ordinary commoner.
“You’re right… I must’ve been overly sensitive.”
“No, wait.”
I felt a gaze fixed on me from somewhere and carefully turned my head.
I whispered softly to Mary.
“Mary, could the person you mentioned be on the left?”
Though their face was obscured, it was clear they were staring right at us.
Judging by their height and broad shoulders, it was a man.
“Miss, what should we do?”
Mary anxiously shifted from foot to foot.
‘If I really am being followed, I should lure them toward the city guard.’
I grabbed Mary’s hand and quickly slipped into an alley.
‘Just a little further, and we’ll meet the patrol!’
Thud. Thud.
The man’s footsteps quickened—he was now openly chasing us.
Before we could reach the guards, we were cornered at a dead end.
Ever since becoming pregnant, even a short walk left me breathless and exhausted.
“Almost lost you.”
For a moment, I was startled by the hand grabbing my shoulder.
“…Jade?”
I slowly turned around. There stood Jade.
“W-why are you here?”
“I have something to ask you. But why run away?”
“…Of course I’d be startled when you chase me so suspiciously!”
“Larien.”
Seeing Jade smile so brightly, I instantly sensed danger.
His old habit—smiling more when he was angrier—hadn’t changed.
At that moment, a line from the original novel flashed through my mind.
『Jade Lowe was the owner of Rendezvous.
He used Rendezvous to blackmail anyone who got in Erna’s way.
Brutally.』
‘The owner of Rendezvous… is Jade?’
My legs went weak, and I could barely stand.
“Miss!”
Mary urgently grabbed my arm.
‘That means he knows I’m going to Trianon…’
Jade slowly closed the distance between us.
Like a predator about to pounce on its prey.
With a mere glance, he sent Mary out of the alley.
Left alone with Jade, I grew so frightened that I hiccupped involuntarily.
“Larien. Why Trianon?”
“…Hic. D-don’t come closer.”
As Jade pressed closer, my heart pounded so fiercely it hurt.
“Who are you going with that you needed two tickets?”
I felt unbearably ill.
“…Larien?”
I clapped a hand over my mouth as morning sickness struck at the same time.
“Chirp…!”
My voice sounded strange.
‘Did I just turn into a sparrow…?’
Jade’s pupils sharply narrowed.
“…Larien.”
He placed the sparrow-me gently onto his palm.
“They say when you’re pregnant, hormonal changes can make it hard to control your shapeshifting…”
“…”
“Larien. Are you pregnant?”
Poof!
I transformed back into human form.
My feet dangled uselessly in midair.
“…Put me down.”
Jade, still holding me aloft, didn’t budge.
‘Citrus scent…’
Pressed so close, his distinct natural scent clung to me more strongly than ever.
“Answer me. Are you pregnant?”
Jade’s demand was short and clear.
He weighed down the atmosphere with heaviness.
“Larien. Won’t you speak?”
His face moved even closer, pinning me in place—my body stiffened, unable to escape.
We were now so close our lips nearly touched.
“Answer me, Larien.”
His relentless questioning made my heart race.
“Yes! I’m pregnant!”
Dizzy and frustrated, I shouted and squirmed in his arms.
“Stay still, you’ll hurt yourself.”
Instead, Jade only held me tighter.
“…So that’s why you asked.”
“Huh…?”
“Back then, you asked what I’d think if you had a child. Now I understand.”
Jade let out a hollow laugh, then turned serious.
“Whose bastard is it?”
“…What?”
“Whose child is it that you tried to run away?”
I couldn’t possibly confess it was his. The chaos that would erupt if he learned the baby carried his blood terrified me.
Above all, he showed no sign of suspecting he was the father.
‘Of course—him fathering a child with me is utterly absurd.’
I averted my eyes from his.
“I don’t owe you an explanation.”
“No reason? Am I nothing to you at all?”
“That’s not what I meant—”
“Do I look like I’m joking? You did this—tell me who.”
Jade openly stared at my belly.
Being interrogated by him felt deeply unfair.
“Fine. Don’t tell me. It doesn’t matter if you’re carrying another bastard’s child. I’ll just kill him—that’s all.”
He set me down and took the train tickets.
“Jade! Give me back the tickets!”
“If I give these back, you’ll leave. Better to destroy them entirely.”
With swift movements, Jade tore the tickets apart.
My Arch-enemy Sealed My Memory and Said That He is My Husband
This is an incredibly captivating story that you absolutely shouldn’t miss! I’ll give a brief introduction here, and below you’ll find a detailed synopsis of the plot.
The female lead is a fierce and powerful demon king. The male lead is a once-in-a-millennium celestial lord, admired by the entire cultivation world.
They are equally matched, legendary rivals who have battled for centuries.
In the final duel, the female lead is gravely injured. The male lead saves her, seals her memories, and hides her true identity. He tells her that he is her fiancé. His entire life has been flawless—except for the one thing he never expected, never controlled, and never wanted to control: falling for his greatest enemy. She is his inner demon, his obsession.
When the female lead regains her memories, she is furious at his deception.
She makes his life a living hell.
And somehow, the male lead—possibly a total masochist—doesn’t mind at all. In fact, he’s happy she’s paying attention to him.
Yep, we’re back to my favorite trope: male lead suffering. If you love this kind of story, jump into the pit with me now!!!
Intro
Dong Xia lost her memory.
Her handsome and extremely powerful fiancé Li Qing comforted her: “It’s okay if you can’t remember. I’ll always be with you.”
Everyone thought Dong Xia’s ancestors must have burned incense to get such a perfect fiancé. He was the number one person in the immortal realm, yet he remained chaste and only loved her.
…
The day before marrying her fiancé, Dong Xia finally remembered everything.
She wasn’t suffering from memory loss at all.
Her arch-enemy had made her fake her death, destroyed her cultivation, replaced her memories, and pretended to be her deeply in love fiancé.
No wonder he said, “It’s okay if you can’t remember”!
Dong Xia laughed coldly as she pulled out her long knife: Li Qing, prepare to die 🙂
*
Li Qing, as the supreme being of the immortal realm, was the people’s shining beacon.
The only unknown stain in his life was his affection for Dong Xia, the ruler of the demon realm.
In the final battle of the war between immortals and demons, the sky collapsed and the earth shattered. The ruler of the demon realm was finally slain under the sword of the supreme being of the immortal realm, and everyone in the immortal realm applauded.
The cultivation world lost a ruler of the demon realm.
And in the back mountain of Li Qing’s cave dwelling, he secretly hid away a fiancée.
Notes:
1. The female lead is white on the outside, black on the inside, and the queen of flattery; the male lead repeatedly tests the edge of darkness, a VIP guest at the crematorium.
2. Fantasy cultivation world setting.
