“Cass, to be honest, that’s not something you were born with, but a scar from an injury, right?”

“No, it’s not.”

Cassel answered immediately once again.

Riena studied his expression to check the truthfulness of his words, but as usual, she couldn’t make a judgment based on that alone.

“Then why were you in pain?”

“That’s…”

Cassel paused for a moment before answering clearly.

“I don’t know who saw what and when, but they probably saw me catching my breath because my heart was beating too fast.”

“Catching your breath? You?”

The Cassel that Riena knew was a man who could maintain his composure with steady breathing no matter how fast he ran.

“I’m human too, so of course that can happen to me. Moreover, whenever I stand in front of you like this, my heart always beats so fast that it hurts.”

“That…”

Riena pushed back his shoulders as he tried to approach her again.

“Can I believe those words? There was no other reason for your heart to beat fast?”

“Absolutely not.”

“That’s a relief, but…”

Cassel smiled softly.

“Is there a reason why you’re so concerned about that?”

“Because I’m worried.”

Riena said without hesitation.

“If that’s really a scar, it must have been a severe injury. I’m worried about whether you’re receiving proper follow-up treatment, taking care of it, and if there are any aftereffects.”

“It really doesn’t bother me at all. And if you’re really worried, let’s go see the doctor together. I’d be willing to do that if it can put your mind at ease.”

“No, it’s alright.”

It didn’t look good for Riena to keep insisting when he was saying he was fine.

‘But if even Chester thought his condition was bad enough for his heart to race, it could cause problems.’

Instead, she cautiously suggested,

“Just promise to tell me if your heart beats so fast that it hurts again later. Then we’ll definitely go see the doctor together.”

“I understand.”

Cassel answered plainly and cupped her cheek again.

“Then will you allow me now?”

“No, wait a moment.”

Riena cleared her throat, her face slightly flushed. There was one more thing she needed to discuss.

“So going back to what we were talking about earlier.”

“…?”

“About my mother coming to visit.”

“Since you’re alright, we can discuss that later…”

“No, there’s another issue.”

Riena spoke firmly before Cassel could kiss her again. Cassel straightened his posture after examining her serious, determined expression.

“I’m listening.”

“Mother wanted to stay in the capital a bit longer even after Aaron’s condition improved. It’s been a while since Mother or Bianca came to the capital, and above all, it’s Aaron’s first time here.”

“…”

“She also said she wants to stay in the capital and interact with us more since she won’t be able to see you and me often in the future.”

Riena continued, as if making excuses while gauging Cassel’s reaction.

“Of course, I said it’s not possible. Honestly, are Mother and the children in a situation to leisurely tour the capital? They should be thinking about returning quickly and paying off the family’s debt. But Mother said something strange. It seemed like this was the real point…”

As Riena’s words trailed off, thinking about how the Countess had desperately clung to her, Cassel gently urged her on.

“You can feel free to say anything, no matter what it is.”

Riena parted her lips with a sigh.

“Mother said that…”

Was it really okay to say such things? The Countess’s claim that Johannes was targeting her was one-sided.

Should she really confuse Cassel’s mind with such nonsense?

After hesitating for a moment, Riena gained courage from Cassel’s fingers caressing her lips as if urging her on, and opened her mouth again.

“Lord Belliard, I mean Johannes Belliard, is keeping a close eye on Mother. And on Bianca and Aaron too.”

At that moment, Cassel’s eyebrows furrowed fiercely.

“You mean Lord Belliard?”

“Yes.”

“Did the Countess use the expression ‘keeping a close eye’?”

“No, actually…”

Riena looked around the empty room and lowered her voice.

“She said Lord Belliard is going to kill Mother and my siblings.”

“…!”

“Surprising, isn’t it? I found it a bit absurd too, but I couldn’t dismiss it as complete nonsense because Mother said it with such a terrified face.”

“Why on earth would Lord Belliard target the three of them?”

Riena shook her head slightly.

“I don’t know. I asked about that too, but she wouldn’t tell me. She said if she told me everything and I turned my back on my family after getting the information, she’d be the only one at a disadvantage. She was also worried about whether there were spies from Lord Belliard in the mansion.”

“So what did you do?”

“Mother wanted me to protect her and the children at Wincler in exchange for telling me everything. But I didn’t give a definite answer because I had to discuss it with you first.”

“…”

“I just helped Mother to the extent that I could for now. I lent her a carriage without the family crest so they could return to the inn without attracting attention, and assigned them an escort knight. I also told all three of them to stay at the inn until I finished discussing it with you.”

Cassel, who had been listening silently, nodded.

“You did well. You did everything you could while I was away.”

“But no matter how I think about it, it’s strange. Of all people, Lord Belliard. To say that he’s cruel and cold-hearted. He seems completely different from the person I know.”

Riena added as if making an excuse, glancing at Cassel.

“Of course, you can’t judge based on appearances alone. I never would have guessed Raoul would change like that either.”

“…”

“Anyway, that’s the story we discussed.”

Cassel took a deep breath and exhaled.

“What do you want to do?”

“I’ve already made up my mind that I don’t want to get further involved with my family. Honestly, this incident also seems like an absurd excuse to gain my sympathy and beg for money.”

Riena clasped her hands tightly, looking anxious.

“But on the off chance that what Mother said is really true…”

The other side of Johannes that she kept seeing in her dreams came to mind.

“So if Mother’s life is truly being threatened, I can’t just stand by and watch. Even though I’ve cut ties, I don’t wish for anything bad to happen to the three of them. Especially Aaron, since he’s my blood-related brother.”

“…”

“But this is just my opinion, and you should make the final decision. If we protect the three of them at Wincler and be wary of Belliard, it could turn into a matter between families.”

Riena smiled faintly.

“So whatever decision you make, I’ll follow it.”

Cassel was silent for a while. He was lost in thought, occasionally muttering the name “Johannes Belliard” under his breath.

Riena waited quietly without rushing him for an answer.

Surprisingly, she wasn’t anxious. She was truly prepared to humbly accept whatever decision he made.

Finally, Cassel spoke.

“I’ll send a carriage right away.”

“…What?”

“Let’s have the three of them stay in the guest room for now and see how the situation unfolds.”

“Is it really okay to do that?”

“What’s not okay about it?”

“Still…”

Riena mumbled, feeling apologetic and guilty.

“That’s as far as it goes. If Mother happens to find you and make excessive requests, you must refuse. Understand?”

“Yes, I’ll keep that in mind.”

“Thank you. For granting such an absurd request.”

“It’s not an absurd request at all. I’d like to take this opportunity to get to know your brother Aaron better. As you said, Aaron is also Master’s other child.”

“That’s right.”

“Noah must have been lonely growing up without any same-aged companions. I hope the two of them can become good friends.”

Cassel relaxed his expression and smiled faintly.

“But is that all?”

“What?”

“I asked because I thought the expression of gratitude ended with just saying thank you.”

“Oh…”

What else could she do besides saying thank you? After pondering for a moment, Riena noticed Cassel gently closing his eyes.

Finally realizing what he wanted, she carefully pressed her lips firmly against Cassel’s.

“Where on earth did Bianca go?”

Countess Dyke paced around the large drawing room, grumbling busily. She repeatedly clenched and unclenched her fists nervously before asking Aaron again.

“Are you really sure you don’t know where your sister went?”

It was a question that had been repeated four times already.

Even though it wasn’t his fault, Aaron shrank his neck like a frightened fawn and mumbled.

“Yes. When I woke up, she was gone.”

“I clearly warned her to stay put and take good care of you until I returned.”

After being scolded by Riena for leaving Aaron alone in the inn room, the Countess and Bianca tried their best to stay at the inn as much as possible.

The room was very large and there were staff members to help with everything, so it wasn’t terribly inconvenient.

However, since yesterday, Bianca had been singing about wanting to tour the capital.

“Aaron is all better now, Mother. How long do we have to stay cooped up in this room? I’ll go out and come back even if it’s just by myself, okay?”

Male lead Asks for a Divorce Every Day

It’s not often you come across a plot like this in the female-dominant genre — make sure to check it out!

This is a novel I’m planning to reread as well.

The male lead is strong, skilled in martial arts, and not the usual fragile type you often see in matriarchal novels.

Meanwhile, the female lead is a scientist—rational and logical. Even when she falls for the male lead, she doesn’t let her emotions cloud her decisions.

If you push through the first few chapters, you’ll gradually find the story really intriguing.

It has a mix of mystery, detective elements, and romance.

The author’s writing style is like crafting a puzzle—except they deliberately leave out a few pieces, making it hard to predict what happens next, yet keeping you hooked.

In the end, everything will come together and be explained.

One-sentence summary: Wife, stop playing with beakers and look at me!

In a laboratory accident, research scientist Zhu Wansheng accidentally travels to a matriarchal world. The original owner of the body is an eighteen-year-old only daughter of a wealthy rouge merchant, already married with a handsome young man.

Zhu Wansheng grins: Nice! She always said she was heaven’s favorite granddaughter. After a life of toil in her previous life, she can enjoy blessings in this one.

However, her joy lasts no more than three seconds as bad news arrives: the original owner’s family is about to go bankrupt, and her husband wants a divorce.

Even worse, she’s stuck with a research system full of restrictions.

Zhu Wansheng: ? Is this the destiny of a research dog?

——

Faced with this mess, Zhu Wansheng pours herself a bowl of wine to drown her sorrows. In her drunken haze, her husband arrives.

His figure is imposing, holding a long sword, with a dignified air that captivates Zhu Wansheng.

Gu Yingqing, however, looks at the alcohol-reeking Zhu Wansheng with undisguised disgust and coldly asks, “Divorce or not?” The intoxicated Zhu Wansheng mumbles vaguely, “I think… it’s not… it’s not… impossible!”

——

The next day, after sobering up, Zhu Wansheng is full of energy, rolling up her sleeves ready to make a big move. As for yesterday? She has no memory of it.

Zhu Wansheng is ambitious; a research dog fears nothing!

Upgrading rouge, extracting fragrances, producing perfumes, researching lipsticks… all shall bow to the power of modern technology!

The original owner’s dying rouge shop is revitalized. Her mother is pleased and with a wave of her hand, passes on the family business to her. As she takes control and her experimental results gain popularity, it’s the pinnacle of her life…

——

But there are always those who can’t stand to see her doing well. Jealousy, scheming, assassination attempts – they want nothing less than her life.

The person who has always kept his distance from her suddenly holds her tightly in his arms, eyes full of concern.

She is unharmed, but he falls into a pool of blood…

Zhu Wansheng feels guilty, “I can grant you one wish.”

Gu Yingqing tentatively circles his arms around her, carefully resting his head in the crook of her neck, pleading softly, “I regret it. Can we not divorce?”

Zhu Wansheng: ? When did I agree to a divorce?

[Small Theater]

The newly developed rouge is beautifully packaged, and Zhu Wansheng is eager to try it.

Gu Yingqing suddenly appears: “My lady, may I apply it for you?”

Cool fingertips lightly brush her lips. His Adam’s apple bobs as he leans in for a light bite.

Zhu Wansheng: ?

Gu Yingqing: It smells so good, I wanted to taste it…

On a warm spring day, Zhu Wansheng tries a new perfume: “Spring Night.” Gu Yingqing corners her against a wall.

Warm breath lingers on her neck.

“My lady, from now on, may I test the fragrances for you?”
