David's Husband (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 22
For so long, I kept postponing my friend Yoo Jin’s invitations to meet, citing how busy I was—but now, I simply couldn’t put it off any longer.
“You even quit your part-time job at the convenience store, didn’t you? And yet you never told me about it… Fine, let’s just set that aside for now. Seriously, though—where have you been and what have you been up to?”
The atmosphere was so tense that I couldn’t muster the courage to say anything else.
I immediately made plans with Yoo Jin. Perhaps because it had been so long since I’d gone out for personal reasons, I felt strangely out of practice.
*Ding*, as I pushed open the café door, I spotted Yoo Jin—her eyes sharp and intense, like a reporter who’d prepared 101 questions.
“It’s been a while.”
Somehow, Ha Yeon’s voice had grown small, as if she were the one at fault.
“Are you trying to drive me to my grave? How could you possibly move without even telling me?”
Yoo Jin huffed indignantly, trembling with a sense of betrayal. Admittedly, she had every right to scold me like this—but if she found out I’d moved into Director Kang Min Jae’s house, she’d likely faint on the spot. Ha Yeon rolled her eyes, then decided to order first.
“Friend, I admit I was totally in the wrong. But can we at least pick our menu items before the lecture begins?”
Ha Yeon flashed an awkward smile and quickly scanned the menu.
Yoo Jin, her eyes narrowed to sharp points, let out an exasperated sigh. Seizing that brief window, Ha Yeon swiftly placed their orders.
Once Yoo Jin’s favorite cheese tiramisu, soft fresh-cream castella, and rich ganache cake were all set on the table, the previously sharp tension noticeably eased.
After taking a long sip of her iced Americano, Yoo Jin squinted and fixed Ha Yeon with a steady gaze.
“Alright, let’s set the past aside for now. Explain exactly what’s been going on.”

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.”
