Second Male Lead, You Said It Was A Contract Marriage? (7 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 077
In the novel I had read, Bertisha was quick-witted. There was no way she didn’t realize I was uncomfortable, or that the topics she brought up could easily touch a nerve.
“You should go mingle with the other ladies—they’ll be delighted to see you. To be honest, I find it a bit burdensome when you approach me like this.”
Approaches with an ulterior motive were burdensome. And I knew all too well that such motives could never be good.
“I’m the one who should be asking. I’ve shown you nothing but goodwill, Duchess. Why do I make you uncomfortable? Could it be that you dislike the fact that Yezar and I are close friends?”
Tears had begun to well up in her eyes. To an outsider, she would appear genuinely hurt by my rejection. But from our earlier private conversation, I already knew Bertisha didn’t care for me.
Why had she suddenly changed her attitude so drastically? In the novel, she was the female lead who had everything. What could she possibly want from me?
“No matter what Yezar and I were in the past, we were never lovers, so it doesn’t matter. I’m grateful for Your Majesty’s kindness, but I feel vastly inadequate compared to you.”
Then she shook her head and said,
“That’s not true at all. You’re not inadequate, Duchess. Besides, I’ve only recently become Empress, and I’ve been feeling rather lonely.”
She appealed to me with a sorrowful expression.
“That’s why I’d like to grow closer to a lady of similar age who married around the same time as me. Please don’t feel pressured—perhaps we could just chat together at the palace sometime?”
It was extremely unpleasant, yet I saw no way out. Refusing the Empress’s request repeatedly would only make my position more difficult.
“It would be an honor, Your Majesty.”
“I’m glad. I’m truly happy at the thought of growing closer to you, Duchess.”
Her smile was as beautiful as the first time I’d admired her, yet somewhere deep within, her eyes trembled—like someone anxious.
Cold Male Lead Became My Clingy Husband (Female-Dominant)
Feng Bai Su transmigrated into a matriarchal novel, becoming the sister of the female protagonist and the Seventh Princess of the Feng Ling Kingdom.
After working herself to death in her previous life, finally reincarnating as a princess, she only wanted to be a lazy fish who could eat, sleep, and play.
Until she met the male protagonist from the book, Wei Jing Mo, and he took a liking to her!
Wei Jing Mo is the top young man in Feng Ling City, talented in both appearance and ability, from a prestigious family, with a cold and otherworldly appearance, a figure like the bright moon in the hearts of noble ladies. It was thought that only the most powerful and talented noble lady in Feng Ling City would be worthy of such a brilliant young man. Who knew that this young gentleman would secretly admire the infamous Seventh Princess?
Short scene 1:
Feng Bai Su looked at the young man crying like a pear blossom in the rain before her, and couldn’t help but doubt her life.
Wasn’t the male lead described as a cold and otherworldly figure in the book?
Then who was this poor little thing crying with swollen red eyes and tear-stained face?
Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
Wei Jing Mo: “…”
A talented fox spirit female lead with a flirtatious appearance but actually abstinent VS A cold-looking but actually naive and clingy little jealous male lead
