His solid chest touched my face as my body shook.
I thought of the night that I thought was a dream. It felt like all the sensations I felt in his arms were coming back to life. I felt unnecessarily hot, and my heart was beating fast. I became uncomfortable for fear Philip would notice.
People stopped their actions and looked at us everywhere we went. My face was now so embarrassed that I couldn’t raise it.
“I think it’s better for me to pretend to faint.”
“Pretend to faint?”
“I’m embarrassed to death.”
I realized I had inadvertently used a slang word and covered my mouth. Philip tilted his head.
“What does that mean?”
It must be a word not here.
“There is such a thing. Don’t talk to me.”
I closed my eyes and leaned my face on Philip’s shoulder.
“……”
I felt his beating heart as I did so. The sound seemed unusually loud. Maybe he was thinking of that night too?
“Madam, do you feel a little better like this?”
“It’s a little better because I can’t see around.”
“People are still looking at us. Even so, the situation hasn’t changed.”
“I just need not to see.”
I heard Philip chuckle.
“It somehow feels like a chased chicken burying its head in the sand.”
“……”
I couldn’t deny… it was similar. I just decided to stop his mouth.
“I told you not to talk.”
“I understand, Madam.”
Philip lightly picked up my pace towards the medical center. He kept laughing softly, probably amused by the story of the chicken with its head buried in the sand, but his voice somehow felt affectionate.

“It’s a mild sprain.”
The doctor who diagnosed it carefully applied ointment to my wrists and ankles, then fixed them with bandages.
“You’ll be more comfortable now.”
The aching parts felt cool and soothing, and the movement was much smoother.
Mild, at that time, came into the hospital and bowed politely to us.
“I’ve found the carriage.”
It just happened to work out.
“Good. Let’s go.”
.
.
.
At the entrance to the hospital, Philip’s horse was now tied to the carriage with two horses.
“Huh!”
I was surprised and screamed low as I was about to climb into the carriage. Philip grabbed my waist and lifted me up.
Thanks to that, it was easy to get on the carriage, but my heart startled by Philip’s sudden behavior didn’t stay still. At the same time, I didn’t understand.
“Why are you doing this to me?”
“You looked uncomfortable.”
“……”
With a goodlooking face and a gentle tone, I was thrilled without knowing it.
It was like a man treating a girl he likes, and I unknowingly flushed.
‘No, you hate Ellen, don’t you? You wanted to get divorced as soon as possible, didn’t you?’
Didn’t he previously show signs of displeasure?
Although affectionate is better than cold, I couldn’t understand Philip’s psychology, showing a dual aspect.
Perhaps the reason Ellen was so attached to Philip’s appearance was that when he spoke so gently, there didn’t seem to be a woman who wouldn’t be thrilled by him.
“Anyway, I’ve driven her to the carriage, so now I’ll take care of my horse and return.”
At the moment he was about to take a wide seat in the middle of the carriage, Philip quickly jumped up and took the seat next to him.
“Why, why are you riding?”
Instead of answering me, Philip instructed Mild Knight.
“Go to the boutique.”
“What?”
It seemed that Mild Knight was as confused by Philip’s sudden action as well.
“Mild Knight, must I say it twice?”
With Philip’s stern look, Mild Knight hurriedly urged the driver.
“Ah, understood. Let’s go!”
The carriage began to jostle slightly. I looked at Philip’s face, unable to understand the reason. He sat facing forward, his lips curling up gently.
[This is the time separator]“Thank you for gracing us with your presence, Count Morris, and Countess.”
Hades Lady, who heard that we had come to the boutique, rushed out herself.
“I will escort you this way.”
The place she led us to was an elegant VIP lounge.
She personally brought out the booklet and carefully brewed some herbal tea.
The booklet contained various items such as camellia oil, perfumes, fans, and parasols, but I thought it would be better to see them in person.
As I was about to subtly stand up, Philip, who had been browsing the booklet, spoke.
“Did new goods come in today? If there’s anything worth recommending, bring it.”
“Yes, Count.”
‘Ah. Shopping as a department store VIP is different. If you want to see something, they bring it to you.’
It’s a good thing it’s a dress. I reseated myself where I’d slightly risen.
Lady Hades soon brought several items on a goldtrimmed moving wagon.
The first product introduced by Lady Hades was a perfume in a pretty crystal bottle.
Smoke twinkled inside the bottle, making it look as if magic had been cast on it.
“It’s a charm perfume we’ve brought in this time. It’s made with safflower scent as the base.”
“Charm perfume?”
Taking the bottle, I thoughtlessly opened the cap and smelled it.
It was an uplifting fragrance.
“Hmm. The scent is nice.”
Lady Hades’s eyes widened at once, and then Philip asked as if something were strange.
“My lady, did you say the scent is nice?”
“Yes. Do you want to smell it too?”
I carelessly brought the perfume close to his nose.
“……”
“Don’t you think so?”
But Philip, who smelled it, had no response. He just stared at me in confusion.
“Why? Don’t you like it?”
“Is it not that I don’t like it, but you like this perfume that much?”
“I do like it. Why?”
“I see you smiling so innocently for the first time.”
“……Innocently?”
“It’s also the first time you haven’t started with a complaint.”
Oh, was I a villainess?
He was right.
The perfume was so nice that I smiled broadly and praised it honestly. That appearance seemed to make Philip feel strange.
“When have I ever?”
I quickly changed my expression and closed the perfume cap.
“Perhaps the effect of the charm perfume is to blind the eyes.”
Philip’s face wrinkled slightly.
My change of attitude was too fast, but it wasn’t the first or second time, so it should be okay.
In the territory, even if the result is bad, I only go to the twostory house in the slum. And I was confident I wouldn’t go to that house.
I brazenly kept my expression and looked at Lady Hades.
She explained the charm perfume with a gentle smile.
“The person who opens the cap and smells the first scent falls into a thousand years of love with the closest person of the opposite sex……”
“Eeek!”
I screamed in surprise as the explanation began.
In my surprise, the perfume bottle that I grabbed and threw rolled across the carpet.
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
