Jackal closed his mouth for a moment and then asked seriously,
“Did he pick a fight with you while I was gone?”
Asha too was silent for a moment, but soon answered calmly,
“No. Nothing happened.”
“……”
Jackal caught on that she was trying to cover for Gebev and held his tongue.
She must not want discord among the gang members because of him.
Asha walked as if nothing had happened, but she kept stumbling forward.
It would be difficult to be fine, especially after downing that potent drink.
Unable to watch, Jackal abruptly picked her up, carrying her like a princess, and trudged along.
Pressed against his chest, Asha, with widened eyes, exclaimed,
“Put me down. I’m fine!”
“You call this fine? Go home, wipe your feet, and go to sleep.”
Asha said nothing more.
Jackal walked ahead, sullenly, but he felt a bit sorry inside.
She might act fine, but she was probably burning up inside.
He quietly said,
“You didn’t expect to be welcomed by all the gang members from the beginning. It’s natural, so there’s no need to be disappointed.”
“Yes, I know……”
Even though it sounded cold, Asha knew he was trying to comfort her.
Jackal didn’t set Asha down until they reached the cabin.
As soon as she was off him, Asha strode inside with a determined look.
Wondering what she was up to, Jackal followed and was immediately taken aback.
Asha had suddenly stripped off her overcoat as soon as the door closed.
Jackal spun around, saying,
“What are you doing now……”
He stammered, at a loss for words,
“……Surely, what you said about showing me, it wasn’t this……?”
His face reddened in embarrassment as he asked in a low voice.
Unaware of his feelings, Asha, wearing only a sleeveless undershirt, said seriously,
“Yes. Please look at me.”
His heart started pounding.
This was the first time a woman had so aggressively tempted him, and he didn’t know how to react.
Most women were initially overwhelmed by his inexplicable aura, afraid, and even hesitant to approach him.
They instinctively felt fear and caution against the wild horse energy emanating from him.
Humans had a way of unconsciously rejecting beings that were different from themselves.
But Asha had looked at me proudly without avoiding me from the first time she saw me.
And the moment she boldly confessed that she fell in love at first sight, he felt that she might be the only woman in this world who does not avoid him.
A man who can transform into a horse, who had never paid attention to women, thinking who would like such a thing, but Asha was the woman who broke down the wall and came into his life for the first time.
The opportunity may never come again.
At that thought, his face suddenly seemed to flare up.
He was utterly mindless as his heart telling him not to lose her, and his head telling him to think of the organization as the top priority, fought fiercely, sparking.
Jackal soon swept his face with a big hand, as if wiping his face dry, and barely regained his sanity.
“……If you’re trying to seduce me, stop. Beauty doesn’t work on me.”
“Beauty……?”
Asha blinked and looked at him.
His broad back somehow seemed to be suffering from intense inner conflict.
“Pfft.”
At Asha’s laughter, he flinched.
“……Is this, a laughing situation?”
“It seems like you’ve misunderstood something big, what I’m going to show you isn’t like that.”
“What’s not like that? Something worth undressing and showing.”
“I just want to show you that it’ll be beneficial if you take me into the organization.”
“……Beneficial? Beneficial, you say?”
He clicked his tongue.
“So if that’s the body, it won’t work on me……”
“Sigh……”
Feeling like the conversation wouldn’t continue, Asha sighed.
A little fresh feeling came when she realized that he was unexpectedly shy in front of the opposite sex.
Earlier, he had ridden on her body without hesitation, and it seemed like he had deliberately acted to warn her.
He had chosen such a radical way to let her know that he was a dangerous man, and that this was a dangerous place for women.
The reality might be that he finds dealing with women more difficult than anything else.
Asha went behind him with a slightly mischievous face, and said, tapping his back.
“Please look at my chest.”
At the word ‘chest’, he noticeably flinched.
“……How careless can you be, to show that to an unfamiliar man without hesitation……!”
Turning around sharply as if a little angry, he opened his eyes wide and could not continue speaking.
He quickly turned his head again, but he saw the emblem etched like a tattoo near Asha’s heart.
It was undoubtedly a golden ‘butterfly emblem’.
With his eyes wide open, he turned back and froze as Asha calmly opened her mouth.
“Now you know. I am…… the Empire’s butterfly.”
He was so startled that he could not utter any words.
He just stood there, rooted to the spot.
His eyes, looking at Asha, were slightly trembling.
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
