Even if Your Regret Holds Me Back (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 97
“Three ales here!”
It was the moment Dion tried to forcibly take away the third glass that Eugene had just downed without pause. Three men had just taken seats at the table directly behind them.
Dion’s attention briefly shifted in their direction. Eugene snatched the glass from his slackened hand and immediately drained it again.
While waiting for their drinks and snacks, the men chatted among themselves.
“Haven’t found those new Gel da kids yet, have they?”
“Poor things. They tried so hard… It’s only a matter of time before they’re found as corpses.”
Sometimes, too much information was poison. Eugene deliberately shut his ears. He intended only to move his hands mechanically—but then came words that yanked his earlobes.
“Ah, I wish our village had a mage.”
“Even if we did, any talent capable of tracking magic would already be at the Mage Tower. What would they be doing in a backwater like this?”
Tracking magic. Mage.
His drooping eyelids slowly lifted, awakened by sudden realization. Eugene immediately grabbed Dion.
“Your group has a mage, doesn’t it?”
“…Do you know Eden?”
Dion responded with an awkward look. Setting aside the fact that he knew Eden, Eugene’s eyes had sharpened unnaturally fast—glimmering with a gold brighter than the amber ale reflecting under the tavern lights.
“Is he here in Dailon right now?”
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.”
