Saved Him, Now I'm Obsessed (10 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 140
After that, the meal ended rather awkwardly. Eloyd went back home, and Shuri also left for the imperial capital, saying he had business to attend to.
I placed another log into the fireplace in the drawing room and lit it. Then I set a chair in front of it and sat down. Ileina, whose appetite still hadn’t lessened, was eating an entire apple pie straight from the plate.
Perhaps because the pie was baked using apples with exceptionally high sugar content, sticky threads formed each time she cut into it with her fork. Even though I usually love sweets, after just two bites, I grew tired of it and pushed my plate far away.
Since Ileina had said she disliked the smell of cinnamon, I hadn’t sprinkled any on, which probably made her tire of the sweetness even faster.
Just then, Ileina suddenly spoke.
“That’s strange. He wasn’t usually that rude.”
“He probably just doesn’t pay attention to things outside his area of interest.”
“Normally, nobles are trained to conceal such feelings, but maybe it’s because he received nothing but affection growing up. The Marquis Eloyd family doted on him terribly. They say his feet never touched the ground until he was seven—need I say more? And that’s the Marquis Eloyd family we’re talking about.”
I’d heard that the Eloyd marquessate, being a knightly house, began sword training the moment a child started walking.
So he truly must be an exceptional case. Then again, even choosing to pursue scholarly studies abroad instead of becoming a knight was unusual to begin with.
“It seemed like his mind held only three things: geology, plants, and Princess Greina.”
“That really does seem to be the case. How else could his face look so utterly bored whenever conversation steered away from just those three topics?”
“Maybe it feels even more pronounced because his eyes light up so brightly when those subjects do come up.”
“That’s probably true.”
Ileina laughed as if my words were the most amusing thing she’d heard. He really had lost all vitality in his eyes whenever another topic arose—later on, he barely managed to suppress his yawns.
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.”
