Transmigrator Meets Reincarnator
Different
Kim Taehyung frowned and stared at Jeon Jungkook's tall figure. His brows were furrowed as his gaze took on a tinge of a probing glint when he looked at Jeongukk.
He was very confused. The Jeon Jungkook in the novel was supposed to be easygoing and open-hearted. He was a rare stalwart gentleman. However, the person before him had nothing in common with the male lead who had been described in the novel. Apart from his looks, his personality was completely different.
If the Jeon Jungkook in the novel was like a noble, unsullied bright moon, then the Jeon Jungkook before him was like a cold wind cutting through the night, bringing chills wherever he went!
Kim Taehyung
(How had this happened?)
Kim Taehyung thought long and hard, but he still couldn’t understand. Everything had gone exactly like the novel had described, except when it came to Jeon Jungkook!
As for the newlywed groom standing with his hands behind his back, he tossed his sleeves and heartlessly walked right out of the bridal chamber. It was as if gazing upon his pretty bride for a moment longer would make him blind, so the only answer left was to leave!
After Jeon Jungkook had left, Senior Servant Gui and Kim Taehyung's personal maidservants rushed in.
When they saw Kim Taehyung sprawled on the ground, eyes blank and hair a mess, the phoenix crown unceremoniously lying on the floor, Senior Servant Gui’s eyes reddened as her mind filled in the details of the events that had just occurred in the bridal chamber.
Senior Servant Gui
“Sixth Miss, please stand up. The floor is cold; you have to take care of your body.”
Senior Servant Gui discreetly wiped the corners of her eyes and pulled Kim Taehyung up with the help of Jingyan, letting him rest on the bed.
Senior Servant Gui
After sending Xiyan to the bathroom for hot water, Senior Servant Gui gently asked, “Sixth Miss, what happened with Young Master just now? Did Sixth Miss suffer any grievances?”
Kim Taehyung finally regained his senses. He still couldn’t wrap his head around how Jeon Jungkook's personality had changed so much.
Raising his head, he took a look at the nursemaid and maidservants who had accompanied 'Kim Taehyung' when he had left his maiden home. Kim Taehyung bore with the pain in his neck and the doubts in his heart to smile at them, trying not to look so pitiful. He knew that these servants cared for 'Kim Taehyung' wholeheartedly.
Kim Taehyung
“It’s nothing. You don’t have to worry about it, momo. Let Xiyan and the others prepare some hot water. I want to bathe and get out of this cumbersome bridal dress.”
Kim Taehyung
It seemed like he wanted to hide what just happened by changing the topic, so Senior Servant Gui felt that she shouldn’t continue pursuing her.
Senior Servant Gui
However, she couldn’t stop worrying and urged, “Sixth Miss, don’t forget. You have this servant and these few girls by your side!”
Kim Taehyung nodded absentmindedly, making Senior Servant Gui anxious.
While Fuyan was helping Kim Taehyung wash in the bath, she discovered the bruises ringing his fair neck. Fuyan jumped in shock, but with a quick turn of wit, she didn’t ask Kim Taehyung how he had gotten those bruises. Instead, he went to report this matter to Senior Servant Gui without Kim Taehyung ’s knowledge.
After having a hot bath and changing into a thin, red nightgown, the lighter weight on his body finally helped dispel the rest of the fright Jeon Jungkook had given him.
When he came out of the bathroom, Mingyan had already tidied up the conjugal bed. Fuyan supported him as he walked to the dressing table and helped him remove his makeup. By the time Kim Taehyung finished drinking a small cup of fragrant tea, it was already 9pm.
The groom should have returned to the bridal chamber by now.
Although Kim Taehyung didn’t understand why Jeon Jungkook’s personality had changed so much, he still waited patiently.
Finally, a maidservant dressed in green came...
Someone
The maidservant passed on a message: “Third Young Madam, Third Young Master drank too much at the banquet just now because he was receiving toasts from a few princes and close friends. He was afraid of disturbing Young Madam with the smell of alcohol, so he’s already settled in the study. He says to let Young Madam rest earlier.”
When Senior Servant Gui and the other maidservants heard the green-clad maidservant’s words, all of their expressions turned blank in shock!
Jeon Jeongukk wasn’t going to enter the bridal chamber!?
If this were to spread out of the estate, how would their young miss be able to raise his head outside?!
Senior Servant Gui
“Sixth Miss, how could this be? Why don’t you let this old servant send someone to invite Third Young Master over?” Senior Servant Gui couldn’t understand why Jeon Jungkook had refused to even enter the bridal chamber. There were no grudges between the two families, and Sixth Miss hadn’t offended anyone in the House of Count Jing’an either, let alone Jeon Jeongukk. The two of them had not even met before the wedding, so how could there be any resentment between them?
However, Kim Taehyung shook his head and sent the green-clad maidservant away.
Kim Taehyung
“There’s no need for that. Momo, why don’t you all go to bed? There’s no need for us to invite him; Jeon Jeongukk will return to the bridal chamber by himself."
As for why Kim Taehyung would say something like that, it was purely because of what he had just experienced. Jeon Jungkook had nearly strangled him to death, but he had left him hanging by a thread in the end: frightened, but alive. Combined with the mysterious things that he couldn’t make head nor tails of, it was highly unlikely that Jeon Jungkook was avoiding the bridal chamber because he was drunk. Besides, when he had come in just now, he hadn’t smelled a trace of alcohol on him.
Kim Taehyung
(He was clearly doing this on purpose to humiliate me!)
Kim Taehyung
(Since he was doing this on purpose, why would I try to invite him back? Wasn’t that just asking to be humiliated?)
Kim Taehyung
(Furthermore, when had a bride ever needed to beg for her husband to enter the bridal chamber?!)
Fuyan
“Sixth Miss!” Fuyan stubbornly refused to go to sleep. How could Third Young Master act like this? Sixth Miss was his formal and legal wife!
Kim Taehyung
“Alright, alright. Go wash up and go to bed. We still have to get up early tomorrow. Nothing will change even if you fuss around here.”
Senior Servant Gui could only bring the other maidservants out with her as she left, leaving Kim Taehyung alone in the bridal chamber.
1. The House of Count Jing’an refers to the Jeon Family. Jing’an doesn’t refer to the family’s surname, but is more of a title bestowed along with the peerage.
