I Had the Enemy's Baby (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 97
Memories from the garden drifted on the breeze.
Kai An kissed her desperately, as if he might hold her fast and breathe life into her.
Clodel stopped resisting, as though she had been about to push him away.
Instantly sensing this, the man’s arms loosened their restraining grip around her.
When she wrapped her arms around his shoulders and clung to him, Kai An lifted her into his embrace as if he had been waiting for this moment.
“…I hate you.”
“Mm.”
Kai An answered absentmindedly, as though brushing aside her complaint, and lowered his head again.
The sun, which had been filtering through the laundry hanging high above them, now tilted sideways.
Even then, they remained standing there for a long while, yearning for each other.
“The weather’s lovely today.”
“I thought we’d have to do laundry again tomorrow, but it dried so quickly… Ah!”
“Oh my goodness!”
Maidens from the castle, who had come to collect the now-dry laundry, burst into giggles and scurried away in a fluster.
Clodel froze in place. Heat slowly crept up her cheeks until her entire face burned crimson.
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.”
That king… that traitor… is a thorn in the throat
Oh, you don’t care much about rumors… I feel ashamed, Duke.
Congratulations, my dear champion, but why did you tell that pest?
