The Secret Affairs of the Fake Duke Couple (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 36
Cain resolved to buy Jane a gift with money he had earned himself.
Though his allowance or the money he received for working for the Hastings family could technically be called his own, it carried a different meaning.
Cain diligently searched for a job. Hiding his name, Hastings, and relying solely on his own abilities, the work he could do without revealing his status was limited—and the pay was very low.
After persistent job hunting, Cain finally found suitable work: translation, transcription, and ghostwriting. He spent a month working while cutting back on sleep.
And then he bought pearl earrings.
Compared to the birthday gifts he usually gave, it was rather shabby, but Cain felt immensely proud of the present he had secured through his own efforts.
Jane later seemed to have cried upon learning the truth—but perhaps even those tears were feigned.
Remembering that time made his chest feel even tighter. At the same time, irritation boiled within him.
Why did she have to wear those earrings and come here, deliberately unsettling him?
Everything about Jane grated on him.
The earrings, the dress, the way she had smiled with Lloyd.
“Damn it.”
Cain clicked his tongue and shook his head, trying to shake off thoughts of Jane.
His hands were cold. He had spent too long on the balcony. The banquet probably hadn’t ended yet, and he still needed to speak with Count Karerina about the Rosarian faction.
Cain took a deep breath and calmed his turbulent emotions.

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!
