I Received The First Time Of My Extraordinary Superior (9 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 47
“How?”
Logan Redford glared at her with eyes that seemed to accuse her of asking despite already knowing. She shot back, “If you know what that resentful look means, then why are you even asking?”
Their pointless staring contest, having just begun, ended when one of the knights cleared his throat.
“Get in the carriage first.”
Logan took Sydney’s hand and headed toward the carriage. As if on cue, one of the knights opened the door, and before she could protest, Logan firmly grasped her waist and lifted her inside.
It all happened in the blink of an eye. Flustered by this unexpected act of chivalry—her first ever—she involuntarily let out a small “Ah!” Just as she was about to scold him for his audacity, Logan gave her a stern look and gestured pointedly toward the seat with his eyes.
Over Logan’s shoulder, she saw the knights mounting their horses. It seemed they really were departing immediately, just as he’d said.
Hardly had she gathered the hem of her dress and seated herself when Logan claimed the spot beside her and rapped his knuckles against the carriage wall. With the crack of the coachman’s whip, the carriage jolted into motion.
Once the carriage reached a steady pace, Sydney turned fully toward Logan and spoke.
“Captain.”
“Logan.”
“Then, as your fiancée, I’ll say this.”
It was easier to confront him as his fiancée than as his subordinate. Sydney vented her grievances in an almost scolding tone.
“A moment ago, the Redford knights—not that I expected them to go on high alert against outsiders—stood there like a disorganized mob, merely blinking blankly. I was even trying to restrain myself and just glare politely since we were meeting for the first time, but Logan, why did you take your temper out on me instead of those useless louts?”
“Damn it! If that’s how you feel, you should’ve just cursed me out or kicked me like you normally do.”

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.”
