To You Whom I Don’t Love That Much (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 090
90.
Ro had imagined countless scenarios before meeting the temporary admiral. What desires drove this person? How should she persuade them? How close were they to the crown prince?
Rosetta had long been the captain of Toulon, meaning she was someone who routinely dealt with people and held authority over them as easily as eating a meal.
The pirate world was a small kingdom within a single vessel, operating under its own set of rules. The reason Toulon was one of the more popular pirate ships lay in its fair distribution of wealth and its principle of equality—even the captain was chosen by vote. Of course, no one daring enough to actually propose a vote for captain in Rosetta’s presence had ever surfaced.
Dominance was about balancing desire and fear. Pirates’ desires were generally simple: drinking rum to their heart’s content, eating rich food until full, and jingling gold coins in every pocket. Rosetta had always effortlessly provided all this through overwhelming strength and a clever first mate.
But nobles were different. They lived more complicated lives, with far more varied desires. Their way of thinking was utterly foreign to Ro.
Thus, Ro had mentally prepared thoroughly for this meeting, bracing herself not to be surprised by anything she might see. In her imagination, the temporary admiral always had a sleazy face, exuding the same unpleasant aura as the crown prince.
Was it because of this prejudice? When the office door opened and she faced an elderly man who looked fairly reasonable, her first emotion was one of awkward surprise.
“I had just heard word you were coming. Theodore.”
“Ah…….”
His long white beard, covering even his cheeks, looked like that of a seasoned seafarer. His eyes and forehead were deeply wrinkled from sun exposure, dotted with age spots. Judging by his face alone, he seemed far older than Admiral Montrosa.
He looked thoroughly irritable, yet she felt not the slightest trace of the eerie presence she usually sensed from the crown prince. Lea extended her hand for a handshake. But the old man deliberately turned his head away, pretending not to see it. Trying to assert dominance from the start? Ro twisted her lips bitterly and immediately got to the point.
“Since you know who I am, I’ll speak directly. Grant me permission to dispatch ships to search the Portmuth Archipelago.”
“That’s impossible.”
Ro had fully expected his refusal, so she countered before he even finished speaking.
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!

This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
