Yul was even more precious to Da Hyun than her family.
When Da Hyun first met Yul, she was weary. She had seen several disgusting humans who would laugh and chat in front of her, but would belittle and curse her behind her back.
Those who approached her just because she was the daughter of Yu Song Group all had the same hopeful eyes as if something would fall if they became close.
She felt burdened by the gazes that envied her simply for being born into Yu Song without knowing that it was only a façade.
Despite filtering out people, Yul was different.
Da Hyun was about to enter the restroom when she heard half the kids badmouthing her. Even though she often heard backstabbing, it was never pleasant to be cursed at.
As she was turning around to leave the restroom, she heard someone on her side along with a bang as the door hit the wall.
“Hey, aren’t you ashamed to insult someone out of jealousy? Wow, I can’t believe what I’m hearing. Instead of cursing others, focus on your development.”
“You might be reborn, but in this life, you’re too late to be Yu Song’s daughter, so live your life diligently while thinking of filial piety to your parents.”
Unable to resist curiosity about who was on her side, Da Hyun sneaked a peek inside the restroom.
At that time, she couldn’t understand why Yul, who wasn’t even close to her, was taking her side. Later, she realized it was just her character.
Yul was an honest friend who was consistent and genuine, expressing her feelings straightforwardly whether she felt hurt or happy.
So when the contact suddenly cut off, she felt hurt and angry, but she waited.
Even if Da Hyun’s family abandoned her, she believed that Yul would never. She trusted and believed in Yul that much.
That’s why she wanted to talk about her marriage directly to Yul.
She missed the timing to talk about marriage and was hesitating how to bring it up when Min Hyuk suddenly suggested having dinner time.
“All of a sudden?”
[Yeah. So ask your friend about the evening schedule and tell her you got married as soon as you hang up with me.]
She wanted to let Yul know but couldn’t find the right timing.
Min Hyuk sounded very uncomfortable with the fact that Da Hyun still hadn’t told Yul about their marriage.
“I understand.”
[Make sure you tell her. Your friend will be upset.]
Min Hyuk emphasized and earnestly asked Da Hyun to tell her right away.
“I’ll contact her.”
Da Hyun hung up the phone and was flustered. She was at a loss when and how to bring up the marriage. It felt like a sudden mission was given.
“Who is it?”
As soon as Yul hung up the phone, he asked as if he had been waiting.
“Ah, that is……”
“What? A boyfriend? Han Da Hyun, you, did you finally get a boyfriend while I was gone?”
As Da Hyun hesitated, Chan’s pupils shook for a moment before indifferently pulling out his cell phone to do his own thing. On the other hand, Yul’s eyes sparkled.
“No.”
Da Hyun shook her head and closed her mouth.
He was a boyfriend, but legally, they were a couple, so it would be correct to call him a husband, right?
It seemed like it was time to say it. It felt like introducing him as her husband would naturally flow like water.
Yes, that’s the best way.
If she was telling someone else, she wouldn’t hesitate to say she was married, but she couldn’t do that with Yul.
Carefully, Da Hyun opened her tightly closed lips and spat out the words.
“He’s my husband.”
“So it is. Not a boyfriend, but a husband… huh?”
Yul abruptly stopped nodding. Sitting across from her, Chan looked up from his cell phone, looking at Da Hyun with surprised eyes at the word ‘husband’.
Chan asked, seemingly surprised.
“Did you get married?”
“A husband? Husband?”
As if not to be outdone, Yul opened his mouth following Chan.
Da Hyun laughed awkwardly and scratched her cheek with her index finger.
“That’s right.”
“Da Hyun, if you wanted to surprise me, you succeeded. I was really surprised. Our Da Hyun has gotten better at jokes, you’ve changed a lot.”
Yul didn’t believe Da Hyun had gotten married.
“I’ve been married less than two months. Didn’t you see the news?”
“I only read Korean news for about a year, and not after that. As you know, I’m not interested in economic news.”
Only when Da Hyun asked if he hadn’t seen the news with a serious face did Yul realize it wasn’t a joke and he turned pale.
“Who, with whom? Who did you do it with?”
“HG Group’s Kang Min Hyuk.”
“Huh? Not Kang Si Hoon but Kang Min Hyuk?”
“Yeah.”
Yul started searching on his cell phone in disbelief. After clicking and reading several articles, Yul sighed deeply and sighed again with a pitiful tone.
“Your father pushed for it.”
“No.”
“Then?”
“He pushed for it. He said he wanted to marry me.”
“Ka, Kang Min Hyuk? No, your husband?”
Da Hyun understood why Yul was shocked. She too had initially judged Min Hyuk as a notsogood guy when she heard the rumors about him.
But he was the exact opposite in reality.
Min Hyuk was a warm presence who was affectionate, took good care of her, and protected her. She wanted to tell Yul that.
After Being Cheated On, She Picked Up a Treasure (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: The husband I married on a whim had been secretly in love with me for a long time.
On the day when Jun Shao finally obtained the imperial decree for her marriage, Lan Qu, the person she had admired for six years, defied the decree and ran away.
Her gentleness and devotion, her promise of a lifetime together, were all disregarded by him. Instead, he dreamed of entering the palace to serve the Emperor’s sister as a sixth-rank attendant.
News of this incident spread throughout the capital, and the alleys in front of and behind the Lan mansion were crowded with people who came to watch the commotion.
Jun Shao should have been embarrassed and angry.
But someone stepped in to protect her dignity.
The figure was in a miserable state, yet still possessed an undeniable elegance and handsomeness.
The young lord struggled to climb the wall of the Lan mansion and shouted to her, “If he won’t marry you, I will!”
So, Jun Shao took advantage of the situation and married the person.
She thought the young lord did it to save the Lan family from the crime of defying the imperial decree, but never imagined that from beginning to end, what he coveted was her.
*
After the wedding, Jun Shao felt like she was living in a dream.
Her Wife-master was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, skilled in the six arts, well-versed in poetry and literature, capable of being gentle and attentive, and also grand and dignified. Most importantly, she was the only one in his heart and eyes.
Jun Shao didn’t know how Lan Shiwu, as a illegitimate son without a father and blessed with beauty, had managed to preserve his purity, recklessly escape, and use his last ounce of strength to ruin his own reputation, all because of his love for her, just to stand before her.
She could only see him gazing at her with eyes full of love, and when she bestowed a name upon him, his eyes shone like stars.
“You have come to me like a weary bird perching on a branch. I shall call you A Qi.”
