The Price is Everything of Yours (76 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 162
Valentine’s room was nearby. When Delma knocked on the door, the Duchess’s voice came from inside.
“Come in.”
Click. The door opened from within.
Neris stepped inside and coldly scanned the room, which was much as she remembered it.
Tassels woven with gold thread, a table carved entirely from jade imported from distant lands, picture frames adorned with gold… Valentine’s room had always been extravagantly opulent, beyond mere moderation.
The Duke was indulgent toward his daughter’s spending. In truth, such displays of luxury did serve to illustrate the family’s status, but more importantly, the Ducal household frequently borrowed funds from House of Wells.
Since the Duchess would fulfill any of her daughter’s desires—and if money ran short, simply take it from her natal family—the Duke saw no reason to interfere.
Seated beside the enormous fireplace, as tall as a person, were Valentine and her mother the Duchess, exchanging the same affectionate glances they had always shared, just as in Neris’s previous life.
“You’ve come.”
As the Duchess spoke, Delma quietly closed the door behind Neris. Neris lifted her skirt slightly in greeting.
“Your Grace.”
In fact, the Duchess had planned to immediately find fault with Neris’s manners the moment she arrived, hoping to humble her a bit—after all, despite the Duke’s orders to leave Neris alone, she still found the girl irritating.
But the etiquette Neris had just demonstrated was so flawless that no fault could be found, however hard one tried. To be honest, it was almost incomparable to Valentine, who remained willfully defiant no matter how much she was taught.
Thus, with a slightly sour expression, the Duchess gestured with her hand.
“Come closer. My daughter says she ought to teach you some courtly etiquette. Also, since you have no proper clothing, she intends to give you a few suitable outfits. Show gratitude toward my daughter for her consideration, and do nothing to bring shame upon our house.”
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
Short intro:
What she can’t stand the most is the streets full of effeminate men, especially that so-called top beauty whom she avoids at all costs.
Shen Yaoxing looks at Jiang Mingyue, who keeps approaching her with coy shyness.
Shen Yaoxing: Bro, don’t be like this, I’m really about to throw up!
She fears nothing in heaven or earth, except for him getting close to her.
*
At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
This dealt a heavy blow to Jiang Mingyue, and he vowed to make her, like everyone else, fall at his feet in worship!

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. 💔
