“Have you truly forgotten the memories of our love?”
I was flabbergasted at Alexandre’s bombshell statement.
“Weren’t you engaged to me and then got married?”
He twisted his welltied platinum blonde hair with his hand.
“I’m also considered a handsome man, but they say Count Philip Morris is more handsome.”
Silence filled the room for a moment.
“Whaaaat?”
What followed was my reaction, my voice rising almost to a scream in surprise.
“How can that be!”
Both I and Milde Kyung were equally flustered.
Alexandre showed a plump face and raised his left hand. A signet ring was fitted on his finger.
“Huh!”
Instantly, the sharply tensed Milde Kyung bowed politely to Alexandre.
“I can’t believe it was you back then! I apologize for not recognizing you, Your Highness!”
‘That person back then? Your Highness?’
“Madam, this is the seventh prince of the Bourbon royal family.”
“……?!”
My inner confusion raged like a storm.
Based on the information gathered, Alexandre Zephyros Bourbon was Ellen’s exboyfriend!
And he was a prince who had been dismissed from this side, probably a bit far from the line of succession.
I felt like crying at this point.
‘What’s with you, Ellen. Why is this woman like this?’
Even if I reincarnated, it seems I reincarnated quite wrongly.
‘I should have reincarnated into Laila. Then, even if I was lonely and sad, I would have pioneered my life and found enlightenment as a protagonist.’
My head began to ache, and as I clutched my forehead, Milde Kyung coughed a few times.
“Hem hem, but madam. That was when I was twelve years old.”
“Twelve years old?”
“You spent the summer with His Highness and exchanged a few letters afterward.”
“When I was a child?”
“Yes, it’s about 17 years ago. That’s why I didn’t recognize you.”
After a few more coughs, Milde Kyung spoke politely to Alexandre.
“I’m sorry, Your Highness, but to call that an engagement is a bit…….”
“Milde Kyung, that’s harsh.”
Alexandre was angered by Milde Kyung’s words.
But it was only a matter of twelve years old.
It seemed that the relationship between Ellen and Alexandre was not serious.
‘Isn’t this good luck? If it goes well, I can rent a building thanks to my acquaintance?’
Honestly, the situation of the selfproclaimed exboyfriend appearing was absurd, but my courage suddenly soared.
I tapped the documents on the table with my finger.
“Let’s get our business done first. And we can slowly share old stories when we have a chance.”
I hadn’t forgotten my goal. Therefore, I planned to finish negotiations about the 5th Avenue building first.
Alexandre was shocked at my words.
“I am filled with memories, but you are so coolheaded. Very well. Let’s have the conversation we couldn’t have back then.”
“…….”
Something unexpected happened.
Alexandre signed the document I presented and stamped it. He didn’t even read it.
I expected the acquaintance effect, but this was unexpected.
“What are you doing right now?”
“We finish the business and talk about the past.”
Alexandre nonchalantly answered, then paused.
“…….”
He seemed to realize that he had made a mistake in his emotions.
‘Uh?’
I quickly grabbed the contract and scrutinized Alexandre’s reaction.
The end of the unlit pipe tobacco wobbled between Alexandre’s lips.
I quickly glanced at the contract again.
The contract had the correct signature of the 5th Avenue building owner, but I hadn’t signed it yet.
Although it’s confusing, Alexandre might claim it void right away.
‘Should I add my signature? Or not?’
I scrutinized Alexandre’s reaction.
He looked hesitant, unable to find the words.
‘Maybe Alexandre has nostalgic memories of his first love?’
Although it was a mistake, Ellen’s memories seemed to make him hesitate?
It felt like a reversal from a minefield to good luck. The atmosphere of past human relationships seemed to help the business, so I quickly threw out a conclusion.
“Anyway, thank you for allowing me to use the building. I’ll pay you on time.”
“Ah.”
Alexandre uttered a single word. It seemed like he was going to object, so I quickly interjected.
“Thank you.”
Alexander’s face turned as red as that of a boy entering puberty. He covered his mouth with his hand, unable to find anything more to say.
“Bingo!”
I inwardly shouted with triumph at his reaction.
“Let’s do it like that. I intended to sell before the situation becomes unstable…….”
The situation is unstable?
Does he mean the commotion that may arise when Marlboro and Laila ascend to the throne?
As Alexander is a prince of the Bourbon kingdom, he seemed to know something about what will happen in the future.
‘Maybe he’s in collusion with someone aiming for the throne?’
But it was not something for me to say out loud, so I pretended not to hear Alexander’s words.
“Adding about a year’s rent will be fine.”
He touched his forehead, looking completely defeated.
“It’s the first time, hearing words of thanks.”
Ah, was it gratitude that made him agree to the lease?
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
