Sister, I'm the Queen This Life (330 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 186
The young ladies in the ballroom were all startled and turned to look at Isabella. To anyone watching,
she was clearly walking toward Duke Cesare. Even if interpreted generously, Isabella was heading toward the dance floor—a place one was supposed to enter only with a partner—yet she had none.
In San Carlo’s high society, a young lady could never be the first to ask a gentleman for a dance. Moreover, it was a grave breach of etiquette for someone of lower status to address someone of higher status first. Isabella de Mare surely knew these social rules—so why on earth was she acting like this?
Isabella walked gracefully toward the center of the ballroom, where Duke Cesare stood, her face adorned with a bright, flower-like smile. Cesare, too, noticed her approach; she was impeccably dressed in an elegant sea-green gown.
There was no mistaking it. Wearing Lucrezia’s heirloom—a golden necklace intricately woven with sea-green topazes—and her beautiful flaxen hair braided high, Isabella was sculpturally perfect.
She looked like an ornamental court statue so exquisite that one might believe her to be just that.
Duke Cesare’s gaze met Isabella de Mare’s. She smiled enchantingly, as if her cheeks were bursting with juicy sweetness. At that very moment, a delicate white linen handkerchief slipped softly from her hand and dropped to the floor.
A faint smile tugged at the corners of Duke Cesare’s lips—but it was slightly different from Isabella’s.
‘Such an old-fashioned trick.’
Only someone brimming with absolute self-assurance could attempt something like that. Confidence radiated from the spoiled young lady who’d known only love and indulgence.
Cesare felt a cruel impulse—to crush that innocent girl’s pride under his heel, right before everyone’s eyes.
Would that dewy, rosebud-like maiden weep if coldly rejected in front of the whole crowd? Or would she show her anger openly? His lips curled upward involuntarily.
‘But I am a gentleman, after all.’
Leaving such a bold young lady unacknowledged would be unbecoming of a man. Slowly, Cesare bent down and picked up the linen handkerchief. Scattered gasps of admiration rose from the guests seated at the tables.
“I believe you dropped this.”
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
Short intro:
What she can’t stand the most is the streets full of effeminate men, especially that so-called top beauty whom she avoids at all costs.
Shen Yaoxing looks at Jiang Mingyue, who keeps approaching her with coy shyness.
Shen Yaoxing: Bro, don’t be like this, I’m really about to throw up!
She fears nothing in heaven or earth, except for him getting close to her.
*
At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
This dealt a heavy blow to Jiang Mingyue, and he vowed to make her, like everyone else, fall at his feet in worship!
