His Mischievous Time-Traveler: How To Capture A Celebrity Husband?

Chapter 69: So, you are disqualified

Her eyes become wide. She opens her little mouth and closes it. Then, she reopens her mouth to say something. A thousand emotions flicker through her eyes.

Her complexion is better than yesterday. She has eaten 5 bowls of rice during the early lunch. Her near skeleton figure won't become better after one meal. He intends to train her and feed her a lot.

She finds her voice. "Why do you assume that you are good looking enough to become my husband?"

Li Jun has never tried to go after any woman. His first marriage was pretty much decided by the emperor. Bringing Wu Qiuyue as a concubine was his first wife's idea. However, he's sure that most women would find his appearance acceptable. This witch doesn't have a good eye.

"I will never take the position of a concubine," She tells him with a sorrowful voice. Though she's clearly sad, she smiles at him. "A woman will never like sharing her man, even if she is born with the most generous heart in the world."

Li Jun thinks of Wu Qiuyue and his first wife. Usually, daughters of many noble families would jump at the idea of coming to his household as concubines. There is only one woman - Wu Qiuyue. She often asks him to take concubines, just like her elder sister did once. She wouldn't mind if he brings one.

"I won't be an ideal wife or an ideal concubine." She looks at him sharply. "A woman like me will only want one man. It goes without saying that his heart and soul must belong to me only. So, you are disqualified."

The tone of her voice is keen and chilling. The hurt in her clears eyes is disturbing to him. He purses his lips together. They are just talking about her options. She's not from this place. So, it's natural that she has different opinions. Unconsciously, he outstretches his arm to touch her cheek.

Before his finger can touch her, she grins at him and says playfully, "My man won't need a second or third woman when I am there. I will take care of all of his needs so well that he will never think about other women."

He pulls back his hand. Truly a witch! A normal woman won't shamelessly boast about her skills like that.

"Don't tempt me to check whether you are as good as you say."

"I am not trying to tempt you." She rolls her eyes. "What's so good about you? I haven't forgotten that you were the boy who shamelessly asked for a birthday gift from me."

He did something like that once, but her words aren't enough to make him feel embarrassed.

"You shamelessly scammed me by giving me a worthless coin as a gift. You also stole food."

She chuckles. "If you keep the coin, one of your descendants might be able to buy candy in the future."

"You say the coin is from the future?"

She always has a mysterious aura around her. She isn't the type to keep quiet about her secrets. If it was someone else, she would have been burned alive for being someone from the demon world. She trusts him deeply.

"Not just the coin." She looks away with a distant look in her eyes.

Li Jun makes a guess. "So, you aren't from hell. You are just from the future."

She just shrugs her shoulders. "I am still a cursed witch."

"Cursed witch from the future?" He asks her again to confirm. This seems more plausible than the story that she's from hell.

She climbs off the bed and stands in front of him with puffed up chest and a slight smile on her face. "Li Jun, you are curious about me a lot."

Though she's small and weak compared to him, she is daunting. When he saw her for the first time, she threatened to kill his mother while confronting his father. When he saw her for the second time, she was trying to scare him as a witch who ate human hearts. When he saw her for the third time, she acted like she didn't know him.

Li Jun realizes that she's just a girl who acts on her impulse most of the time. There is a deep connection between them. Moreover, she knows him well. She knows how to pique his curiosity and tease him. He feels strange whenever she is around.

Looking into those mischievous eyes that promise nothing good, he feels a strange spell sneaking through his heart.

Even if the heart forgets, the soul remembers.

Before he could realize what kind of flower is blooming from the seed that came out of nowhere, his thoughts get interrupted.

"Traveler." The timekeeper looks at her with irritation. "Do you not learn your lesson? What kind of fool are you?"

"What did I do this time?" Kyuri crosses her arms and steps back with the same expression. "I thought that you were stingy when it comes to spending your minutes?"

The timekeeper glowers at her. "Leave Li Jun."

She raises her brow. "You seem fine yesterday. Why ask me to leave today?"

"If he falls in love with you again, it will be a disaster."

The timekeeper is tired. Things are too complicated since she has turned her body into a time prison. If Li Jun has fallen for her once, he will fall for her again. But, the love that will start with Li Jun and end with Kang Si An will cause conflicts again. If things repeat again, he will forever be trapped with this man's soul and this traveler.
