Can an Enemy Become Salvation? (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 22
“At the very least, I haven’t done anything wrong standing here right now.”
A smile, unseen on Ivenel’s face for the past several days, now graced her features after she’d finally poured out everything she’d wanted to say to Suhel.
She almost regretted not doing this from the very beginning.
“Oh, and there’s one more thing I must say.”
She stepped forward toward Suhel, placed her hand on her waist, and spoke.
“Is it really that hard to ask if I’m alright?”
She hadn’t even expected gratitude. Still, after fighting monsters and ending up in such a sorry state, couldn’t he at least ask whether she was hurt anywhere?
‘Right, arguing will only hurt my own mouth.’
Since Ivenel didn’t actually expect an answer, she simply walked past him, retracing her steps.
Suhel could only watch her retreating figure. Yet, to her final question, he found himself utterly unable to utter a single word.
Whenever he was with her, he always ended up tongue-tied by words he never anticipated saying. Even the anger he naturally carried seemed to quietly fade away.
Besides, what more could he possibly say when he’d acted solely to save her?
Perhaps, among all the countless faces he’d seen of her until now, this was the first time he’d glimpsed the real Ivenel—not as Aodin’s retainer, nor as the young lady of House Istella, but simply as Ivenel herself.
When Suhel turned back along the path he’d come, he found Ivenel standing before the pitiful corpse of her dead horse. Carefully, she reached out and gently closed its eyes, which she hadn’t managed to shut earlier.
“We trained together so often that I grew fond of you. I’m sorry. If I hadn’t brought you along, none of this would’ve happened.”
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.”
