To You, So Noble and Vulgar (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 48
The dress shop run by a famous designer was spacious and splendid. Isabel, apparently a regular customer, was greeted warmly by the owner, whose face was beaming with smiles.
“Today I’m not here for myself—I’ve come to buy something for her.”
“Oh! To which noble house does this esteemed young lady belong?”
“She’s my younger sister.”
“Ah… a younger sister…”
The shopkeeper seemed puzzled, wondering if the Hern family had another daughter, but didn’t press further.
“It’s for the festival, so it must be blue—and as dazzling as possible. I’ll also buy matching shoes and all the accessories, so please arrange those while they’re taking measurements. Oh, and she’s growing quickly right now, so make it one size larger.”
Isabel issued her instructions as if accustomed to such matters. While female staff came to measure Ariana, Isabel flipped through catalogs, showing Ariana every pretty dress she found.
“This style would suit you well too. Oh, this one’s lovely as well. But this might be too mature for you… How about this one?”
Isabel looked as delighted as if she were shopping for her own dress.
KWAANG! KWANG!
A thunderous explosion shook the ground—it came just as the measurements were nearly finished.
“I’ll go check outside.”
The moment the guard knight standing by the shop entrance stepped out, a shout rang out.
“Who goes there!”
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
