“Who… did this?”
Yurik’s face turned cold at my question. In his indifferent eyes, I could sense Yurik’s intense anger.
“You wouldn’t hurt your hand on your own.”
“No. This is…”
A misunderstanding.
Yurik didn’t properly listen to my words and snarled in frustration. To clear up the misunderstanding, I extended my hand.
“Damn it. The injury is severe. Who… did this?”
Soon, Yurik was engulfed in shock. His reaction surprised me, and I touched my hand as well. The bandages were entirely soaked in red.
“No. It’s what you think.”
I firmly stated.
“Who hurt you?”
“Yurik.”
“The bleeding is severe. Even without removing the bandage, I can see the vein.”
Yurik had a expression as if he wanted to tear apart the person who caused my injuries right away.
“I really made a mistake. If I explain the situation…”
I paused for a moment. Before untangling the twisted knot, I had to dismiss the unwelcome gaze.
Following the gaze, there were several medical professionals, including the doctor.
Most of them were women. It was evident that they came here, enchanted by Yurik’s appearance.
Understanding the meaning of my gaze, the doctor pushed away the women behind her. They reluctantly left their positions with disappointed faces.
“There was an accident at the restaurant. I accidentally broke a glass and got cut.”
Alone with Yurik, I explained.
“Why did you break a glass?”
“I mishandled my hand. I couldn’t exchange a few words with the person I was dining with, and I came to the hospital right away. Of course, I couldn’t have the planned course meal. Not only my hand but also the other person didn’t know and consumed peanuts, causing an allergic reaction.”
“…”
“…Is the misunderstanding cleared up?”
Yurik still had a dumbfounded expression. It seemed like there were many unresolved questions.
“If you have any doubts, just say it. I’ll explain.”
“I heard there was an accident at the restaurant.”
“That’s the peanut incident I just mentioned. It was quite serious, causing difficulty in breathing.”
“The person you dined with didn’t harm you? I heard from Yune. You had a meal with a man with a half-and-half face at ‘Solann’ on the second floor. Is he the engagement partner your father forcibly arranged?”
A serious smile appeared on Yurik’s face.
“Did my father doubt the partner he arranged for you?”
“…”
“Did he introduce a man who only satisfies his primitive desires?”
“All the portraits you’ve received so far were like that.”
So Yune told him about that too… I secretly vowed to be careful with my words in front of Yune from now on.
“…I’m sorry for insulting your father.”
Yurik added.
He seemed worried that I might feel upset, but I was amused.
Come to think of it, my father had enemies he didn’t even know about.
Starting from Princess Leslie to my roommate, friends, and chess officials. The reason they disliked my father was that I hinted at their distrust of him in front of them.
‘I should try harder in the future.’
“Lize.”
I got caught laughing by Yurik. His expression was as cool as before.
“Aren’t you still angry?”
“I understood that the injury was a misunderstanding. Also about the other party.”
The other party…
“Yeah, so don’t be too hard on that person.”
“Why are you defending him?”
Yurik didn’t like it.
“The person who made the peanut dish is actually me.”
“…”
The situation at that time vividly came to mind as I explained.
“That person ate it without knowing. But I couldn’t apologize properly.”
I referred to Roger as ‘that person.’ Now that Roger is denying himself, it was hard to reveal to Yurik that I met him.
Is that all? Roger holds ill feelings towards me. It’s not too late to resolve the conflict between us and tell the truth to Yurik.
“…Why a peanut dish?”
“Ah, that… I made it to give it to you. I carried it in my bag and went around with it. Oh, would you like to see it now?”
Soon, a jar of peanut jam being prepared was clenched in his hands. Originally a small jar, it looked even smaller in Yurik’s hands.
“I made it myself. So, I asked you about peanuts not long ago.”
“…”
“…The color may be like that, but the taste is quite good. You’ll know when you smell it! But if you still feel reluctant, there’s nothing I can do.”
Oh no. Yurik didn’t like peanut jam. Whether it was a bad first impression or a dislike for peanuts in general, this cooking attempt was a failure.
“Yurik, you don’t have to force yourself to eat it. What are my favorite ingredients? Cheese, or maybe corn? I’ll make something delicious with something else.”
“Why did you give this to him?”
“Huh?”
“I’m talking about that engagement partner you met today. Why did you give him the jam I made for you?”
…I had nothing to say.
The reason was simply that I liked him.
“…”
Suddenly, Yurik’s words came to mind, saying he didn’t want to share anything related to me with anyone. Yurik looked at my dress with an explicit gaze.
“If you knew I’d wear the dress you bought for me…”
“…What are you talking about? Yurik.”
“Lize.”
“I wore this dress for you!”
“What?”
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
