Don't Obsess Over A Married Woman (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 47
“It seems you’ve been lingering outside my door since early this morning. Although you said you understood when I mentioned that my lady hasn’t coughed yet, I still thought it better to inform her myself.”
“Shall I tell him to come back later?” Loretta asked.
I pondered briefly with my still-sleepy mind, but ultimately decided to let him in.
His visiting my room so early despite knowing proper etiquette surely meant he had something to say that couldn’t wait until the breakfast table.
However, I was fully aware that I hadn’t yet washed or changed clothes—far from ready to receive a guest.
“Please draw the curtains around the bed.”
I instructed Loretta to pull all the bed curtains closed, concealing my nightgown-clad figure. Only then was Sir Joseph ushered into my room.
“Thank you kindly for your generous understanding of my impertinence. Although the bed…”
I sensed Sir Joseph’s presence just beyond the bed curtains. The sound of his footsteps, which the carpet couldn’t fully muffle, drew near my bedside.
I wondered why he needed to come so close just to share something confidential.
Yet I didn’t feel particularly wary—most likely because it was Sir Joseph after all.
“I’ve only just woken up myself, so I hope you’ll excuse my state. I haven’t had a chance to change clothes yet.”
“Is that why you drew the bed curtains closed?”
“Yes. I thought this would be sufficient for our conversation.”
“I see…”
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.”
