Juwon’s words widened Ina’s eyes. Ina swallowed her saliva, glanced at the television, and then looked back at Juwon.
“No, well, there…”
Ina spoke with an embarrassed voice, and without Juwon saying anything, he gently cupped Ina’s cheek, then slowly lowered his head to give her a light peck on her attractive lips.
As Ina responded with a shy smile to the light bird kiss, Juwon, as if indicating he was going to proceed with a real kiss, wrapped his arms around Ina’s head and pulled her closer.
As Juwon kissed Ina with a passionate heat, in the midst of the exchanging of hot kisses, Juwon’s weight shifted towards Ina. As a result, Ina ended up lying on the sofa with a thud.
Looking up at Juwon with eyes filled with excitement, Ina, with enlarged pupils, received Juwon’s gaze, filled not only with affection but also with intense desire.
As Ina nervously bit her lip due to tension, Juwon reached out and lightly touched Ina’s lips with his hand.
Then, bending his upper body, Juwon once again breathed a deep breath into Ina’s lips.
With his left hand touching Ina’s cheek and his right hand gently stroking Ina’s waist, Ina’s heart started to pound.
As Ina, in the tingling sensation, closed her eyes tightly, Juwon, after detaching his lips for a moment, looked down at Ina again.
Juwon’s black eyes, seemingly filled with restrained passion, gazed at Ina. In the midst of that affectionate gaze, a profound desire seemed to ripple.
When Ina, feeling the tension, lightly bit her lip, Juwon reached out, caressing Ina’s lips with his hand.
Then, bending his upper body, Juwon once again breathed a deep breath into Ina’s lips.
With his left hand touching Ina’s cheek and his right hand gently stroking Ina’s waist, Ina’s heart started to pound.
In the tingling sensation, Ina closed her eyes tightly for a moment. After a while, Juwon detached his lips and looked down at Ina again.
With an effort to restrain himself, Juwon’s black eyes, staring at Ina, breathed deeply, and then he lifted Ina as if to embrace her.
After giving Ina a kiss on her forehead, Juwon took Ina’s hand.
“Tired? I’ll stop now. I’ll get some good sleep, and we’ll meet friends tomorrow.”
“Yeah. You must be tired too. Go in and rest quickly. I’ll call you when I wake up tomorrow.”
“Yeah.”
While Juwon responded somewhat regretfully, he continued to lightly caress Ina’s hand.
After a while, he got up from the seat.
Walking to the entrance, whether it was Juwon or Ina following, both of them felt heavy footsteps.
When Juwon, on his way to the entrance, or Ina following him, both felt heavy steps, Juwon, who reached the entrance, lowered his body and gave a kiss on Ina’s cheek.
“Lock the door and go to sleep. Got it?”
“Yeah. Got it. Don’t worry, and be careful.”
Juwon smiled and then opened the front door and went out.
As the front door closed, suddenly, the house felt empty, and a lonely feeling enveloped it.
When Ina, with a sulky face, went back up to the living room, the sofa where she had just shared a passionate kiss with Juwon came into view, making her face turn red.
Ina quickly raised her head and headed to the bathroom.
It was Sunday.
Ina, waking up, jumped out of bed with an excited heart.
Today was finally the day she could meet Juhee.
The thought of meeting Juhee, whom she had missed for 13 years, made her heart swell, and her heartbeat started to race.
Last night, I couldn’t sleep well as I reminisced about the memories with Juhee. Even while brushing my teeth and looking in the mirror, I couldn’t conceal my fluttering heart. In my heart, I wanted to meet her right away, but Juhee’s flight was scheduled for 2 PM today, and I had a meeting with university friends at 12 PM. Since it was a commitment made two months ago and couldn’t be canceled, I had already informed Juwon that I would go to his house right after the meeting.
Leaving home at 11 AM and heading to the meeting place, Ina couldn’t help but smile bashfully at the recurring thoughts of Juhee. Even as I met with university friends and chatted after lunch, I couldn’t fully concentrate.
So, reminding myself that I would see Juhee in just a few hours, I tried to focus on the conversation.
After having lunch with the university friends and drinking coffee, Ina received a call from Juwon.
“Hello?”
Are you having a good time with your friends?
“Yeah. I’m having coffee after lunch right now.”
I see. Around what time do you think you’ll part?
“Well, in a little while?”
Really? Then send me the address of the coffee shop. I’ll come to pick you up.
“What? No, I’ll take the bus.”
Juhee is causing a fuss, telling me to bring you quickly.
“Juhee? Where is she right now?”
She just got home and is resting. As soon as you’re done, she wants you to be brought over quickly, according to Seonghwa.
Ina laughed audibly, as if she could vividly imagine Juhee’s actions.
“Okay, got it. I’ll send it via text.”
Sure. I’ll be there soon.
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.”
