Chaewon was rummaging through the moving boxes.
She was looking for a tablet PC to store No Jaemin’s wedding video at the hospital.
Watching Chaewon approach as if she was about to pull it out right away, Yugeon approached.
“It should be in this box.”
“Maybe it’s not this box.”
Looking around the sealed boxes, Yugeon turned his head back to Chaewon.
“Use mine. I’ll bring it.”
“Oh! I remember. It must be in the office supplies box over there!”
Yugeon took the cutter from Chaewon’s hand and walked to where she pointed.
Drawing a sharp blade to open the box, it was filled with items that might be on a desk, such as a desk clock, a pen, and more.
Observing, Chaewon quickly recognized her belongings inside and took them out.
“I found it!”
Watching Chaewon check if it was working properly, Yugeon turned his head back to the box.
Organizing to prevent dust from entering, Yugeon, who was casually looking, stopped at a pouch with a rabbit drawing.
“What’s this?”
“Oh!”
Chaewon’s eyes, which had been flowing carelessly, widened like a rabbit in an instant.
“Heck!”
Startled by Chaewon’s attempt to take it back, Yugeon instinctively lifted the pouch higher.
“Why are you so surprised?”
“Well, it’s nothing.”
Looking at her face, it’s not nothing.
Seeing her reaction, he didn’t want to easily let it go.
Reading his thoughts, Chaewon, as if trying to snatch it back, raised her toe to reach out, but she couldn’t reach near his raised hand.
As it didn’t work well, Chaewon’s lips moved discontentedly.
“Hurry and give it. That’s… my underwear.”
“But why hide it? It’s just underwear.”
“So… it’s because it’s underwear that I don’t want to show.”
Because it’s not ordinary underwear.
Chaewon, hesitating whether Yugeon should open it, pouted her lips.
“What kind of underwear is it?”
“Well.”
A bra and panties with drawings of rabbits and bears on the pouch… She couldn’t bring herself to say it honestly.
As it was the first underwear her mother gave her, she kept it meaningfully, but she didn’t like the idea of imprinting the image of wearing such cute underwear on a man she liked.
“Hesitate, and I’m even more curious.”
Playfulness deepened on his face.
“Hehe!”
When Yugeon seemed to lower his hand to check, Chaewon quickly extended her hand, but he raised it to a height where Chaewon couldn’t reach again.
With an annoyed expression, Chaewon bit her lips and said, “Is it going to be like this?”
But he slightly tilted his head as if to say it would be like this.
“You’re making me more curious by acting like this.”
Staring at Yugeon, as if she would say something, Chaewon took two more steps closer to him.
About to reach out again, she wrapped her arms around his waist with both hands and leaned her head against his chest.
The bewildered Yugeon lowered his head slightly.
“Give it to me.”
Looking at the woman hugging him, Yugeon soon laughed silently.
She didn’t want to see it, but I insisted because I was curious about her reaction. Show it properly.
When she approached with an unusual look, I thought she might be a remarkable beauty.
I never expected her to be this cute.
“Give it to me; I said I don’t want to show.”
The hand that had been reaching towards the sky came down.
The warm body temperature touching my chest made everything surrender.
Indeed, she’s a woman who knows how to melt hearts.
“You.”
Yugeon, wiping away his laughter, looked down at her round eyes.
“We should talk.”
Who knew she could be this cute?
If you melt someone, you have to take responsibility.
At that moment, Chaewon, sensing the change in Yugeon’s eyes, snatched the pouch and distanced herself.
Now that Yugeon is no longer interested in the pouch, he chuckled at Chaewon’s fleeing figure.
Staring at each other, Chaewon kept a distance from the approaching Yugeon and suppressed her laughter.
“Running away?”
“Don’t be like this.”
“What did I do?”
Both looked at each other with tense eyes, wondering who would make the first move.
“Huh.”
Chaewon’s arm, which was trying to escape first, was caught by Yugeon.
Then her waist was wrapped, and her head was lifted.
Looking up with a surprised expression, Chaewon met his black eyes.
Smirking at his face looking down at her, she smiled.
Everyone made clinking sounds of utensils and continued their meal.
“Ah, the bean sprout soup is so refreshing. Mother.”
Youngtae, glancing at Mrs. Kim, let out a hearty laugh.
“After all, you have to eat rice with your mom at your mom’s house, right? Enjoy your meal. Mom!”
The daughter, who came to give a warning to Mrs. Kim, who was trying to raise her family, visited to put a stamp on her.
“Chew slowly. Mom.”
“After the meal, try the tangerine tea I brought.”
At this, the daughter-in-law and son-in-law also hinted at the words.
“Ugh!”
As if saying something, the father’s signal to kick under the table startled Hotaeg, who was picking up the meat.
“Oh, yes. Grandma, please have some more bean jelly. It’s good for brain health, prevents dementia, and, uh!”
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.”
