Selected as the New Stepmother (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 114
Ascal sat down opposite me with a creak like a broken machine, and I calmly filled his cup with a graceful gesture. Then I lifted my own cup and asked:
“Lately, when I wake up at night, the seat beside me is empty.”
I sipped slowly, deliberately lingering to make it clear why I had offered tea—but he remained silent. So I decided to press harder.
“We are husband and wife. I wish there were no secrets between us.”
Ascal’s golden eyes flickered slightly. His expression was like that of a man seated in a police interrogation room.
“I’m sorry, my lady.”
His lips opened slowly, and an unexpected reply emerged.
“I need more time. There are only a few days left—please wait a little longer.”
“Ascal, what do you mean by……”
“It is in no way meant to hurt you.”
He answered stubbornly. I looked straight at him, standing rigidly, and said:
“I trust you. But Ascal, imagine if I left for two hours every night without saying a word, and then returned.”
A furrow formed on Ascal’s brow. He seemed to have been lost in thought without realizing it.
“My lady… I will tell you the truth when the time comes.”
He said it with a forced smile. I hesitated briefly, then set down my teacup. Rising from my seat, I sat beside him and let out a deep sigh.
Male lead is a Love-Obsessed Merman
When he discovers she has gone, he risks everything to pursue her on land, enduring agonizing pain to transform his tail into human legs…
One-line summary: Male lead chases female lead. The male lead’s love is a bit sick, an invincible love brain.
Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.
Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”
Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
