Eventually, the Female Lead Ran Away (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 147
John broke out in a cold sweat as he spoke.
“I rushed here because the accident involved a servant of my household driving my car—I was afraid you might misunderstand. I swear, I have no intention of making enemies of Lady Dia Blaise or Zen Baker.”
When Dia offered no response, John trembled at the corners of his mouth and continued.
“O-of course, I don’t mean to just stay silent. As I mentioned earlier, I was merely the victim of car theft—but even so, I intend to pay for the damages. Though Zen likely considers such an amount insignificant, I still wish to show my sincerity.”
Dia remained determined to stay silent.
After all, she couldn’t tell whether this incident was truly the accident John claimed it to be or if there was some hidden motive behind it.
She had planned only to hear him out briefly and send him away, but his last words made her brows twitch.
“…Sincerity?”
Startled by Dia’s icy reaction, John flinched and quickly added,
“Is compensating for the car not enough? I realize this accident has stirred up baseless rumors, which must be distressing. You may not know this, but my younger brother holds considerable influence in society. If you just give me time, I can quickly quell all such gossip.”
“…”
“If you’re agreeable, would you consider attending the tea party my brother is hosting next week? From what I saw yesterday, you didn’t seem to have many suitable acquaintances—I’ll make sure to invite only those ladies befitting the reputation of Lady Dia Blaise…”
Glaring at John as he rambled on with such impertinence, Dia finally spoke.
“The ones injured in the accident weren’t me, nor Mr. Baker.”
In Dia’s mind, if John truly wished to show sincerity, he should have gone to see Deborah and Paul—or at the very least, inquired after their well-being if visiting in person was too difficult.

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.”
