To You Whom I Don’t Love That Much (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 025
25.
Cardier’s meaningful words aside, it was absurd to even consider drinking alcohol handed over by someone after being humiliated by Nick. No matter whose body this was—Lea’s or not—even if that someone was Montrosa’s bastard son. And not realizing it until Cardier mentioned it… It felt as though she’d been completely caught off guard.
She quietly stared at her wine glass before downing it all in one go. The rich, bubbling wine warmed her insides, and soon a tingling heat spread throughout her entire body. Though by ‘Ro’s’ standards the alcohol was mild, to Lea’s current physical condition, it seemed quite strong.
Anyway, she had danced as the duchess had wished, drawn attention due to that crown prince brat, and enjoyed some fine wine… She had fulfilled the bare minimum of duties. True, she hadn’t found a fiancé yet, but with this guy clinging so close, today was clearly ruined anyway.
Ro handed the glass to a passing servant as if tossing it away and said,
“I’ve done everything I needed to. Can we go back to the estate now?”
“Sure. I’ll escort you.”
At Cardier’s gesture, a servant waiting nearby handed them their outer coats.
“Oh, young marquis, are you leaving already?”
“There’s someone I really must introduce myself to…”
“Have you met my daughter yet?”
As they began preparing to leave, noblewomen who had been watching intently, as if this were their final chance, swarmed toward Cardier like moths to a flame.
Each time he brushed them off with a cold expression, new women rushed in. Soon, Cardier was nearly buried amid a sea of fluttering dresses, with only his irritated frown barely visible. Rosetta was quickly pushed by the swelling crowd all the way to the ballroom’s entrance.
She shrugged her shoulders and slowly walked off toward the lobby by herself. The ballroom’s air had grown stifling, and the stares of people gawking at her like some strange animal were unbearable. Besides, after the wine had heated her insides, she desperately craved a cool breeze.
As she approached, the servant standing guard opened the door leading down to the garden. Below the staircase, carriages that had been bustling toward the main gate now sat dark and silent, waiting for their owners. In between, several coachmen and footmen had gathered in small groups, gambling among themselves.
Cold Male Lead Became My Clingy Husband (Female-Dominant)
Feng Bai Su transmigrated into a matriarchal novel, becoming the sister of the female protagonist and the Seventh Princess of the Feng Ling Kingdom.
After working herself to death in her previous life, finally reincarnating as a princess, she only wanted to be a lazy fish who could eat, sleep, and play.
Until she met the male protagonist from the book, Wei Jing Mo, and he took a liking to her!
Wei Jing Mo is the top young man in Feng Ling City, talented in both appearance and ability, from a prestigious family, with a cold and otherworldly appearance, a figure like the bright moon in the hearts of noble ladies. It was thought that only the most powerful and talented noble lady in Feng Ling City would be worthy of such a brilliant young man. Who knew that this young gentleman would secretly admire the infamous Seventh Princess?
Short scene 1:
Feng Bai Su looked at the young man crying like a pear blossom in the rain before her, and couldn’t help but doubt her life.
Wasn’t the male lead described as a cold and otherworldly figure in the book?
Then who was this poor little thing crying with swollen red eyes and tear-stained face?
Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
Wei Jing Mo: “…”
A talented fox spirit female lead with a flirtatious appearance but actually abstinent VS A cold-looking but actually naive and clingy little jealous male lead
A very interesting story. I’m delighted.
