How To Choose A Knight (28 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 22
Anyway, for that reason, Jade found the end of this quarrel oddly tickling and amusing.
Wow, this feels nice. So this is why people fight with their friends—to enjoy making up!
Of course, it was a wrong thought, but there was no one around to correct her.
Clearing her throat, Jade turned her gaze toward the lake and spotted something glinting as it leapt out of the water.
“Did you just see that? A—a fish jumped!”
He gave her a look as if it were perfectly obvious but didn’t scold her aloud. Still, he seemed to be tolerating it.
“I’ve never been near the lake before. You told me not to come here.”
“At night, animals and monsters swarm around here. That’s why I told you not to come.”
“Huh…?”
Jade instantly lost all interest in the lakeside. Who cared about fish anyway.
Axel let out a soft chuckle.
“Did you really live outside unable to hide your expressions like this?”
“No. Outside, I always wore a mask. But here, there’s no need. Hiding emotions is just too exhausting.”
She still didn’t understand exactly how people had ended up here, but she felt she could comprehend their decision.
After all, if she had to live like this outside for just ten more years, she’d probably storm into this forest and build herself a perfectly lovely little white-brick house.
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.”
