The Grand Temptation (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 25
“You’re trembling right now.”
Just as Jae Ho said, her entire body was shaking like an aspen leaf. She clenched her teeth, trying to stop the trembling, but it was no use. She didn’t love Min Woo as a man—but they were about to get married. No matter how little she felt for him, seeing a photo of her fiancé embracing another woman left her anything but indifferent.
She had believed that, even if it was a political marriage, he’d at least show her basic courtesy as a friend… Had that been too much to hope for?
Instead of pushing away Jae Ho’s arms wrapped around her, Yuli simply closed her eyes wearily. It had been an especially exhausting day, and she just wanted to stay still, even if only for a moment.
Fortunately, Jae Ho asked her nothing. He merely stroked her arm gently with his palm, as if soothing a child.
“The night breeze is cold. Let’s go inside.”
After releasing Yuli, Jae Ho picked up the phone that had fallen to the floor and silently handed it back to her. Though the screen was dark, afraid she might see the photo again, Yuli quickly stuffed the phone into her jacket pocket.
Back at the dining table, the half-eaten abalone porridge still sat there. But her appetite was completely gone; she couldn’t force even a single bite down. Watching Yuli hold her spoon and just stare at the food, Jae Ho quietly rose and walked toward the espresso machine.
“I’ll brew you some coffee.”
Rather than asking whether she wanted any, Jae Ho wordlessly prepared it. Soon after, placing a steaming cup of coffee before her, he asked softly,
“If I ask what’s wrong, will you tell me?”
…Hmm. What should she say? Should she tell him that she’d just realized how completely excluded she was within her own family—and that the man she’d marry the day after tomorrow currently had another woman in his arms?
How would he react then? Would he merely offer a polite, “That’s unfortunate”?
Yuli gave a bitter smile and wrapped both hands around the coffee cup. Inside, the dark liquid swayed slowly, mirroring the turmoil in her heart.
“It’s nothing. I guess I’m just feeling sensitive ahead of the wedding. I had a small argument with Min Woo during our call.”
Cold Male Lead Became My Clingy Husband (Female-Dominant)
Feng Bai Su transmigrated into a matriarchal novel, becoming the sister of the female protagonist and the Seventh Princess of the Feng Ling Kingdom.
After working herself to death in her previous life, finally reincarnating as a princess, she only wanted to be a lazy fish who could eat, sleep, and play.
Until she met the male protagonist from the book, Wei Jing Mo, and he took a liking to her!
Wei Jing Mo is the top young man in Feng Ling City, talented in both appearance and ability, from a prestigious family, with a cold and otherworldly appearance, a figure like the bright moon in the hearts of noble ladies. It was thought that only the most powerful and talented noble lady in Feng Ling City would be worthy of such a brilliant young man. Who knew that this young gentleman would secretly admire the infamous Seventh Princess?
Short scene 1:
Feng Bai Su looked at the young man crying like a pear blossom in the rain before her, and couldn’t help but doubt her life.
Wasn’t the male lead described as a cold and otherworldly figure in the book?
Then who was this poor little thing crying with swollen red eyes and tear-stained face?
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: “…”
A talented fox spirit female lead with a flirtatious appearance but actually abstinent VS A cold-looking but actually naive and clingy little jealous male lead
