Desperate for a Catch (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 22
Most of the people inside the cafe had finally quieted down after getting autographs.
Those who entered the cafe late failed to recognize Woo Yeon, but it remained an undeniable fact that Tae Kyung’s appearance still drew attention.
If there was anything fortunate, it was that the previously quiet cafe gradually filled with customers and grew noisily bustling.
Thanks to that, the general public’s interest abruptly faded away at some point.
Tae Kyung watched Woo Yeon, who sat upright and drank her long-cold tea.
“Photos have probably already been taken.”
“Yes. It’ll be noisy for a while this afternoon, but it’ll cool off quickly. Among countless gossip topics in the world, a photo of you and me having a cup of tea at a noisy cafe in broad daylight won’t become particularly popular—especially since this place is right in front of my workplace.”
She replied cynically and took another sip of tea.
Beneath her furrowed brow, a slight dimple appeared on her right cheek.
Ah, so that’s why—whenever she smiled, the lingering impression felt vividly beautiful.
He instinctively checked his wristwatch and briefly considered whether to text Team Leader Han, who was waiting outside, saying he’d be a bit later.
By the way—
He had been about to ask Woo Yeon, who hadn’t touched her dessert, whether she disliked sweet things.
He knew most women enjoyed this kind of dessert; even his younger sister Jae Hee always insisted on having something sweet after meals.
She wasn’t thin. That heated night at the hotel, Tae Kyung had seen her clearly—
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.”
So she is missing him so hoping what happens next!
