The Duke Only Needs My Child (Completed Main Story) - Side Story 9
Soft spring sunlight seeped through the window.
Herdin, who had woken first, quietly watched Blair, still lost in deep slumber.
Though it was clearly past time to rise, she showed no sign of waking—likely because he’d worn her out more than usual the night before.
Blair probably didn’t realize it, but on nights they returned together from a banquet, he tended to push her harder. It was because the furtive glances cast her way all evening had thoroughly irritated him.
Marriage and childbirth had left not the slightest blemish on her allure.
His wife remained as beautiful and elegant as ever, capturing the gaze of every man at the banquet.
In noble society, where keeping mistresses was an open secret, men eager to become hers abounded.
He understood the natural attraction to beauty—but understanding didn’t mean tolerating it.
Blair’s fingertips, her gentle voice, even the smiles she offered others—
The mere thought that any of it had briefly touched another man grated on him, compelling him to cover every spot with his own lips, his own mark, until he was satisfied.
Only by physically feeling that this woman’s thoroughly disheveled state belonged solely to him could his twisted mood finally settle.
Suddenly, last night’s words from her surfaced in his mind, mocking his own possessiveness.
‘Herdin… how about we have a second child?’
Herdin gently stroked Blair’s flat stomach.
‘If another child grows in here…’
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
