The Credentials of a Couple (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 100
Since Bake began being recognized as Marquess Crayton, he started buying back Crayton possessions that had disappeared over time. It wasn’t surprising that among them was his father’s pocket watch.
But after reclaiming Crayton’s belongings, he proudly showed them to me. He had always gone to great lengths to win my favor.
But what if there was more to it than that?
What if his search for Crayton’s old possessions wasn’t to win my favor at all—but for another reason entirely?
I instinctively ran my fingers over the watch face.
If this watch was truly what Bake had been seeking, there had to be a specific reason.
I chewed thoughtfully on my lower lip.
My mind was tangled. I needed to sort my thoughts out again.
For now, Bake hadn’t found the item he was looking for—but it wasn’t that he couldn’t find it. Rather, someone had intercepted it midway.
That theory could explain why he hadn’t sold the watch despite needing money.
If their relationship had been purely cooperative, there’d be no reason to steal the watch midway; and if it were merely greed for money, keeping the watch—which could serve as incriminating evidence—made no sense either.
Considering when Duke Pierne discovered the spring bar, we could also estimate how long the attacker had possessed the watch.
No matter how I thought about it, there was only one conclusion.
There was a secret hidden inside Father’s watch.
A secret significant enough to become Bake’s greatest vulnerability.

Wasn’t the male lead described as a cold and otherworldly figure in the book?

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: “…”
