The Price is Everything of Yours (76 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 100
After much deliberation, Neris decided to wear a black veil even at the dining table.
Since arriving at the castle, Neris had continued dining with her mother in the West Palace. Although Dora was the only servant from the West Palace she had seen so far, the small dining room on the first floor was always kept impeccably clean, and meals were served warm and punctual.
Thanks to this, she had been able to live without the veil within the West Palace, making her feel awkward about wearing it now in front of her host during dinner—it simply wasn’t proper etiquette.
Yet instead of pointing out her attire, Cledwin merely asked an affable question, as though nothing else truly mattered.
“Is the food to your liking?”
The meals at White Swan Castle were delicious. Moreover, the dishes currently laid before them formed an elaborate banquet, featuring at least a dozen exquisite courses prepared exclusively with the finest ingredients.
But was that really the issue?
“…Yes. It’s delicious.”
“You’re slow to answer. If you’re worried about Madame Trude, I certainly wouldn’t have minded dining with her as well. But I thought we had matters to discuss first, just the two of us.”
His last remark was undeniably true. Yet in Neris’s view, if anything seemed more peculiar than a private banquet between herself and Cledwin, it would be one including her mother as well.
Why would a subordinate and her mother share a meal with their employer, especially when there was no special circumstance—like the employer visiting their home?
Nevertheless, Cledwin stated such things as though they were self-evident truths.
Perhaps this was simply the custom of the North? Neris pondered it seriously.
“Ellen mentioned you haven’t requested any additional items for daily use. Since the room was empty, I assumed you might be lacking many things. Feel free to ask for anything.”
Neris’s room, situated right next to her mother’s, clearly showed signs of exceptional attention from the very first day. Furniture intricately carved in every corner, a table hewn from a single block of jade, delicately embroidered bedding, a balcony offering an unobstructed view of the courtyard…
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
The male lead being so proud of his wife is honestly adorable, even when he gets jealous.
And the female lead is so elegant and beautiful—I can’t wait to see this scene illustrated
Haha, did the ML really just say that to the FL? He’s so cute when he gets a little jealous.
Can’t wait for next chapter
The ML is so considerate of his wife. He treats her with so much care and gentleness, even when she doesn’t say a word—he just understands her. He’s honestly so perfect, I can’t 😭
I really hope the FL can overcome these painful feelings soon. I can’t bear to watch her suffer this much. 💔
