“Nothing, just something crossed my mind.”
But she couldn’t say what it was.
Khaled, watching Velia, stroked his chin and spoke in a voice tinged with amusement.
“Back when you were young, you were quite…”
“Quite what?”
Khaled just smiled without answering.
But Velia immediately understood what he had swallowed back and spoke it for him.
“I know. I was really awful back then.”
Velia let out a deep sigh.
“I thought I was so great… I must have been so obnoxious.”
If it was back then, you and I probably would never have met.
Khaled, not hiding his amusement, asked,
“So, has the statue turned you into the Velia you are today?”
“Well, I can’t say completely, but it was somewhat of a turning point.”
A more valuable statue than she had thought.
Khaled tried to recall the statue that he could hardly remember.
‘Thinking about my childhood makes me want to see it even more…’
Velia warmly looked at the letters piled up on the desk.
She had a feeling that her reply to her family would be unusually long.
That thought made her very happy, and Velia closed her eyes, smiling brightly.
“So, is it time to write a reply to your family?”
Do I seem like I’m interrupting?
Khaled grabbed Velia’s hand and pulled her up.
Velia asked, surprised as she got up,
“Do I have to write the reply quickly?”
But Khaled led Velia to the bed, hugged her, and lay down.
“Haha, what is this? Wasn’t I supposed to write the reply?”
“No. If you’re going to write, stop and come play with me.”
Khaled held Velia’s waist tightly and laid his face on her shoulder.
It looked as if Khaled was leaning on Velia.
“I actually had something to discuss with you.”
“What is it?”
“It seems that His Highness will really attend our wedding.”
At Velia’s words, Khaled suddenly lifted his head.
“He said he’s really coming to the empire?”
“Yes, that’s what my mother said in the letter.”
Faced with this sudden news, even Khaled seemed bewildered.
It was a good thing, of course. Just the fact that the ambassador of the new kingdom had personally visited the empire for his granddaughter’s wedding would change Velia’s status.
But because it was an unexpected visit, all preparation steps had to be revised.
Not stopping there, Velia delivered some shockingly delightful news.
“Moreover, it seems grandmother is also planning to visit.”
“The Queen of Ronika as well…”
Khaled sank into thought.
Watching him, Velia subtly took Khaled’s hand.
“I’m honestly quite confused. Are you as well?”
“Is your confusion because things have changed from what we previously discussed?”
As expected, Khaled understood immediately, even without Velia explicitly saying it.
The fact that Velia was terribly flustered by the reality that had changed from her previous life.
“Don’t worry too much. The actions we’ve taken so far must have slightly altered the future.”
“What if the information I know now becomes completely useless?”
Velia had been confident she could beat Raul because she knew the future. But now, the future was changing.
She feared that her words would only precede her and be of no help to Khaled.
What if even her revenge fails…?
Reading her inner turmoil, Khaled turned his hand to firmly grasp hers, as if to say everything was alright.
“Don’t worry about that either. I’m by your side for times like this.”
Velia had always wondered why she had returned to the past.
But perhaps she had returned to meet this man…
Otherwise, could she be this happy?
Could her heart swell this much?
“Move as you wish.”
Khaled, laying beside Velia, neatly arranged the strands of hair stuck to her forehead and smiled.
“I’ll take care of leading the way and following up.”
Relieved by his endlessly affectionate words, Velia closed her eyes.
Khaled’s hand slowly moved from her rounded forehead to caress her cheek.
How could every part of her be so pretty?
He slightly moved his thumb and swept her soft skin.
“Velia.”
Velia slowly opened her eyes.
Before she knew it, Khaled’s face had come up close.
“Are you writing a reply now?”
Khaled’s eyes mischievously curved.
Utterly beautiful yet dangerous.
Velia couldn’t take her eyes off him.
“…What if I have to write a reply?”
“Will it be okay, even if the letters are shaky?”
Realizing the meaning of his words, Velia’s face instantly flushed red.
So now…
“I’ll do what I have to do, so you do what you have to do.”
Khaled audaciously spoke and shifted his hand to the back of Velia’s neck.
“Ah…”
Velia’s eyes quivered.
What followed happened in a flash.
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.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
