You And I Live In Different Worlds (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 65
His eyes were tired from being engrossed in work since morning.
Edric took off his glasses, pressed firmly on his eyelids, and then checked the clock.
It was five o’clock.
He glanced at the remaining documents. An hour would be enough to finish them. In fact, under normal circumstances, no matter how many hours it took, he would have neatly completed his tasks and risen from his seat in high spirits.
But he stood up now.
Strangely, he felt he had to. It was as if some invisible force was urgently urging him to get up.
Edric left his office and climbed into the carriage waiting at the entrance of the main palace.
Wilson, who followed shortly after, relayed a message that one of the promising up-and-coming entrepreneurs wished to treat him to dinner.
It wouldn’t be just dinner, of course. In exchange for a small favor, a proposal promising enormous profits would surely be laid before Edric. Wilson had no doubt Edric would accept—it was only natural for someone who valued efficiency.
“To my residence.”
But Edric overturned Wilson’s assumption with a firm tone. As Wilson’s eyes widened in surprise, Edric gave the coachman another order.
“As quickly as possible.”
“Yes, Your Grace.”
The carriage seemed to speed briskly down the street—only to get stuck just before reaching its destination. It stood completely still, then inched forward in tiny jerks repeatedly.
Recalling the incident on his last shared bedroom day, Edric asked,
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.”
