Helena and Jane. Those girls were the ones Lenisha had brought with her from the imperial palace.
She thought she knew them better than anyone…
‘I never expected this.’
Why those girls?
“Linday. Bring those girls to me right now.”
“Yes, Lady Lenisha!”
Linday quickly left the room without hesitation.
Lenisha brushed her hair back.
“What are you thinking?”
Casius asked Lenisha.
“Hmm. Those girls are tightly bound by loyalty, Casius. They gave me the faith that they would never betray me. But I don’t think I ever permitted such individual actions…”
Lenisha gave a chilly smile.
That smile was nothing but cold.
“Are you angry?”
“In some ways, yes.”
“But you also seem pleased.”
“In some ways, that’s also correct. I think I might understand those children.”
Casius couldn’t understand Lenisha’s complex emotions.
“…According to military law, those who commit such acts are sentenced to death. Whether they did it with whatever intention, it is considered disobedience. Because the commander could have problems preparing for the state, and it could cause harm. So only the commander should judge and give orders.”
“You disapprove of this matter, Casius?”
“Yes.”
Lenisha nodded her head.
Lenisha, who had gotten up, kissed Casius’s forehead.
Her lips lightly touched and then smoothly traced a curve.
“Casius, my puppy. I understand what you’re saying. But I won’t punish those girls.”
“Why?”
“Right now, I’m clearly at a disadvantage. I can’t afford to lose my people in the face of the war with Lexus. I can clearly see what those blindly loyal children were thinking. They probably wanted to prevent Henry from reporting our situation to Lexus. They couldn’t kill him since he’s from Lexus, so they must have thought of their own way.”
Casius nodded his head.
Lenisha was always right.
And this place was Lenisha’s battlefield.
It was correct to move as Lenisha plotted.
Casius hesitated and then pulled Lenisha’s hand.
He brought his hot lips to her wrist, and Casius whispered,
“I’m curious about something.”
Lenisha smiled in surprise at the thin, hot touch moving on her skin.
Casius often showed great adaptability. Like now.
White teeth lightly grazed Lenisha’s skin and then pulled away.
Her white skin flushed red.
Casius kissed her lips again.
“Will you be merciful to me as well?”
“What do you mean?”
Lenisha unconsciously swallowed her saliva.
Casius’s large hand was slowly crawling up Lenisha’s wrist.
Lenisha leaned on the table with her other hand.
Her body precariously laid across the notsowide table.
“Casius, danger…!”
She might end up tumbling along with the food.
Lenisha screamed sharply, but Casius moved skillfully.
Always in front of Lenisha, he was cautious and slow, but now, he was the opposite.
Like a slender and graceful beast, he quickly caught Lenisha and seated her on his knee.
Lenisha couldn’t even figure out what happened in that brief moment.
Casius kissed Lenisha’s collarbone.
“I meant, will you be as merciful to me as you are to your people?”
“So that’s what it was…!”
Lenisha’s eyes widened.
Casius held Lenisha tightly.
Even Casius himself didn’t know why he kept changing so hopelessly.
He wanted to possess everything about Lenisha.
He wanted to confine Lenisha somewhere where nobody could see her, just for himself.
All kinds of bad thoughts rushed in.
He felt uneasy.
Lexsus and even Meteor.
All the glances that kept overlooking Lenisha made him feel uneasy.
If Lenisha had only said something, needed something, Casius could have done it himself.
What’s so difficult about killing and eliminating one Henry?
But there were too many people working for Lenisha.
There were many faster than Casius.
Casius sighed slowly.
His hot breath permeated Lenisha’s skin.
Lenisha blushed at the firmness that reached her cheek.
Strength went into the hand that touched his shoulder.
“When I need you, like this moment, can you always be by my side?”
Casius’s golden eyes twinkled obsessively.
Lenisha unconsciously swallowed her saliva.
Casius’s body temperature is hotter than others.
It felt like his body temperature might burn Lenisha.
Red veins momentarily surfaced on Casius’s cheek then disappeared.
Casius pulled Lenisha’s waist closer.
“Yes?”
Lenisha, move your clever tongue.
Lenisha scolded herself.
It was always Lenisha who baffled Casius.
But now, now…
“…not now.”
That was all Lenisha could say.
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
