To You Whom I Don’t Love That Much (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 038
38.
At those words, the duchess’s face instantly turned paler than the white teacup she was holding. She abruptly whipped her head toward Rosetta, glaring fiercely—so intense that she seemed to have forgotten entirely about the other guests present in the room.
“Lea, you……!”
Then, as if only now truly noticing Rosetta’s appearance, she froze momentarily, lips trembling speechlessly. The duchess’s horrified gaze swept over Rosetta’s crumpled maid uniform, her disheveled hair, and the soot-streaked cheeks. Her elegant lips twisted as though crushed.
“Anna…….”
It was a whisper so faint it could barely be heard even at close range, yet it carried a chilling cry reminiscent of one rising from hell. Rosetta briefly offered a silent prayer for Anna’s well-being. The duchess clutched the back of her neck, murmuring briefly about dizziness, then barely managed to compose her expression into something calm.
“Lord Cardier Montrosa, although this girl has recently been acting rather peculiarly… you must understand she wasn’t always like this.”
“…….”
“According to her physician, it’s due to a mild shock, and he assured me she’ll regain her former brightness within a year—or even just a few seasons. And I’m not saying this just because she’s my daughter… isn’t she truly lovely?”
The duchess’s eyes kept darting uncertainly toward Lea’s tangled hair.
“If it’s a matter of insufficient dowry, I can speak with the duke myself……”
“The dowry is fine.”
Cardier replied without turning to face the duchess, his eyes fixed on Rosetta—more precisely, on the narrow space between Rosetta and Owen.
“…Fine?”
The duchess’s face stiffened instantly, then quivered. As if Cardier had just withdrawn his marriage proposal. Only then did he seem to realize how his words might have been misunderstood.
Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
