On my second call, Leuys reluctantly turned his head, clearly annoyed at being disturbed while watching Roel.
Despite the chilling gaze, I managed to hesitantly start a conversation about Roel.
“Is there anything suspicious about the Vice Duchess?”
I asked with the intention of clearing any doubts, but Leuys’ face contorted as if it was nonsense.
Flustered, I quickly clarified.
“No, I don’t think that of her at all! Absolutely not! I was just asking because you’ve been watching her closely lately.”
But Leuys’ reaction was strange.
He looked… very confused.
As if he hadn’t realized he was behaving that way until it was pointed out.
I’ve been watching Roel Ibel that closely?
Noticeable even to my oblivious advisor?
“If there is such a thing, please let me know. I will thoroughly investigate.”
If only there was such an issue.
It was a nightmare for Leuys. His thoughts and gaze were constantly drawn to Roel. How could he explain this to his advisor?
Without a suitable excuse, Leuys decided to dismiss Dewin.
“Isn’t it time for Roel’s office visit? You should go.”
“….Yes, Your Grace.”
Dismissed before I could properly speak, I left the office dejectedly.
In the now-quiet office, only the sound of wind-rustled leaves occasionally broke the silence.
“I’ve been observing Roel Ibel all this time.”
I admitted to myself that she was an intriguing woman, recognized her inner strength that I lacked, and accepted that I had been unknowingly observing her.
I should have noticed these changes in myself, but sadly, Leuys only went as far as acknowledging them.
I watched as my recently dismissed advisor appeared outside the window. At that moment, Roel smiled brightly at Dewin.
Contrary to how she always seems tense and forced in her smiles in front of me, her laughter with Dewin was evidently comfortable and genuine.
Reminded of this, my chest inexplicably tightened.
I thought unbuttoning my shirt might alleviate this discomfort, but it was futile.
Looking at the clock, it was well past 11 PM.
“Dewin, you’ve worked hard. See you tomorrow.”
“Vice Duchess, you really worked hard today too.”
Despite my resolve to leave early for Dewin’s sake, it proved difficult. There was still much to learn, and the work, now more engaging, was enjoyable.
Also, lately, with Leuys becoming increasingly sensitive, I hesitated to return to my bedroom.
‘I really should let her leave early tomorrow.’
I worried about how stifling it must be for her, always working late because of me. Yet, she always maintained a cheerful demeanor at work, which I appreciated.
Reflecting on this, I headed to my bedroom.
As I cautiously opened the door, the room was so silent I could hear dust settling. However, as soon as I stepped in, the rustling of the bedding revealed Leuys was still awake.
Usually, he wouldn’t return to the bedroom if he was working late, and even if he did, he would arrive much later than me and leave before I woke up.
But recently, perhaps due to a lighter workload or something else, Leuys has been consistently returning to the bedroom before me and not leaving until after I wake up.
Just then, Leuys slightly turned his head to look at me, causing my body to stiffen automatically.
“Are you still awake…?”
Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
