I Became a Mother (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 22
7 p.m.
Hyo Jin, having just walked out of the subway station, tilted her wrist to check the time in front of the park—the agreed meeting spot.
Hasn’t arrived yet?
She craned her neck to scan the road when, from afar, a black sedan approached, and she saw Kyo Hwan stepping out of the car.
‘Huh? What’s he doing here again?’
Hyo Jin quickly ducked behind a tree to hide herself.
Ugh, how embarrassing. Of all times.
If he happens to see me selling something secondhand, he’ll definitely sneer again.
He even drove Seung Yul to school and told me not to lose face in front of other parents—especially since I know full well this outfit was personally bought by Madam.
Out of pride, I told him to turn back, and now if he catches me selling it off, how utterly humiliating.
He, who she assumed was merely passing by, stopped right in front of the park and glanced down at his wristwatch.
Broad shoulders and tall stature.
Though dressed in an ordinary suit, his chiseled face and solid build radiated such a commanding aura that he seemed to brighten the darkness around him.
Ugh, why won’t he just pass by already? What’s he doing standing there?
Hyo Jin, whose eyes kept getting stolen by this flawless figure no matter where she looked, feared things would get even more awkward if the buyer arrived while she was distracted, so she opened her phone’s chat window.
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.”

He really is a bad father. Kinda sad how he just left his son alone.
