“In the suggestion box is a bath.
Yeonwoo, who was bathing alone, turned her head at the familiar voice.
“Gu, Gwangho-kun, Na-ri…?”
Turning around, Geon, wearing wet inner garments, was standing there.
The wet white inner garment not only vividly revealed Geon’s skin but also exposed his slim chest and agile waistline.
Despite being dressed, his appearance was more striking than when they had faced each other by the riverside.
The image was etched in Yeonwoo’s mind as if carving on a stone slab.
Yeonwoo’s mind was dizzy, but her body relaxed.
It was fortunate that she was in the bath; otherwise, she would have surely fallen outside.
Even in the midst of this, Yeonwoo made great efforts not to look at Geon’s wet body.
‘Don’t pay attention, don’t pay attention!’
Her body did not listen, like a tree frog.
Despite trying not to be conscious, her gaze was drawn to Geon, and her mind was filled with the image of Geon’s wet appearance.
Splash!
Blushing deeply as if her face would explode from the nasty imagination, Yeonwoo submerged her face in the water.
It was difficult to distinguish whether the hot bathwater was heating Yeonwoo’s face or if Geon’s body was causing the warmth.
Even if she submerged her head in the water, Geon wouldn’t disappear from her sight, but Yeonwoo hoped he would vanish like an illusion once she emerged from the water.
“Hoo-ha!”
As Yeonwoo lifted her head out of the water, to her surprise, Geon was still staring at her.
Yeonwoo couldn’t believe the situation unfolding before her eyes and submerged her head again.
“What are you doing…?”
Geon, who was bewildered, had no chance to speak.
Trying to clear her head in the hot bath, Yeonwoo felt her face might burst with each passing moment.
Before long, by Geon’s hand, Yeonwoo was forcibly pulled out of the bath.
Yeonwoo, now visible on the surface, exhaled the breath she had been holding.
“Hoo-ha!”
“What on earth are you doing?”
Her wet upper body emerged on the surface.
Upon second thought, what was dangerous for Yeonwoo was not Geon’s wet body.
The fact that Geon’s wet body was so clearly exposed meant that her body would be equally exposed. It was evidence that she shouldn’t think about someone else’s body.
Fortunately, Yeonwoo had instinctively covered her front with a large and thick towel she had brought.
Perhaps it was thanks to the warm bathwater relaxing her body; Geon’s voice was warmer than ever in Yeonwoo’s ears.
“You might drown like that.”
It was futile to struggle.
Still unable to control her surprised heart, Yeonwoo looked at Geon with a reddened face.
“Uh, haven’t you finished bathing?”
“I came for the veil.”
Geon pointed to the veil with his hand.
It seemed he had come to get the veil he had left behind while bathing.
As Geon moved to retrieve the veil, Yeonwoo quickly prepared to leave the place.
It was only a matter of time before she would be exposed as a woman, so she needed to leave this place as soon as possible.
“Are you leaving already?”
“Yes, being in a hot place makes me dizzy.”
Covering herself with a towel, Yeonwoo tried to leave the bath.
At that moment, due to the wet floor, Yeonwoo’s foot slipped.
“Uh…!”
As Yeonwoo’s body tilted backward as if to fall, Geon’s reflexes were faster than her falling speed.
When Geon caught Yeonwoo’s waist, her slender waist fit perfectly into his hand.
!”
The eyes of Yeonwoo, who ended up in Geon’s embrace, widened momentarily.
In fact, it wasn’t just Yeonwoo who was surprised by the unexpected contact.
Geon, who had entered the bath without thinking and saw Yeonwoo’s back while she was bathing, was also taken aback.
The shoulder line that entered Geon’s arm was so delicate and round that it could be believed to be a woman’s.
Geon almost mistook it for a woman bathing and almost turned away, but he realized it couldn’t be and turned back to the bath.
However, seeing Yeonwoo’s back as she turned around once again sent a shiver through Geon’s heart.
Perhaps due to the bath, Yeonwoo’s cheeks were as flushed as ripe peaches, and her rosy lips seemed moist as if coated with dew.
Moreover, the line from Yeonwoo’s neck to her shoulders, resembling the ridgeline of a white snow mountain, combined with the surrounding steam, created a mysterious atmosphere.
If it weren’t for Yeonwoo’s actions entering the water, Geon would have been captivated by the atmosphere, gazing at Yeonwoo absentmindedly.
Startled by the splashing sound as Yeonwoo stumbled into and out of the water, Geon barely regained his composure.
Feeling impure emotions upon seeing a man, it was an impossible situation.
However, as Geon lifted Yeonwoo, who seemed to be choking from the back of her neck, his suppressed rationality almost collapsed again.
Even though Yeonwoo’s body was covered, her thoroughly wet appearance was enough to arouse Geon’s instincts.
Yeonwoo’s wet figure and the strands of hair clinging to her skin were incredibly alluring, igniting a passionate energy in Geon’s entire being.
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.”
