I Became The Ex-Wife Of A Regretful Male Lead (2 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 22
The cherry on top of my uneasiness was my conversation with Sienna.
“About dessert—how about I serve cookies I baked myself?”
“…What do you mean by that, Madam?”
Sienna, who had been pouring tea, stopped even her hands and wore a shocked expression.
Seriously. Why do you have to look so serious? It’s embarrassing.
“You can’t possibly be serious?”
“Yes. I am. Everyone enjoys the desserts I make, don’t they?”
“That’s true, but… Still, Madam, as the mistress of this household, wouldn’t it be improper to serve your own homemade cookies to guests? It’s a matter of dignity and decorum.”
“Is that so? I thought it’d be unique and nice.”
“Please be honest with me, Madam. Are you genuinely trying to properly entertain your guests, or… are you trying to humiliate them? We need to know which tune to dance to, after all.”
It sounded like she just said “humiliate” twice.
If that’s how she’s going to react, then what was the point of her stuttering just now?
Anyway, her intensely serious question felt like outright opposition, and though I was frustrated, I had no choice but to reply, “Fine, I just won’t make them then.”
But honestly, I truly thought it was a good idea.
Everyone seems to oppose my ideas outright these days. At this point, I’m seriously wondering if they only call me “Madam” out of formality while treating me like a spoiled child.
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.”

Serphina, speak clearly instead of increasing misunderstandings that make everyone think that you are sick and about to die.

Now that’s called being considerate!
I don’t think I ever focus on stranger’s hardships this close…😓But I’d completely forgotten to prepare it.
It isn’t actually the wardrobe that’s the most important, it always the thing that isn’t prepared!😂
