“Am I here because of Min Seontae? I met with Taehee, had a sufficient conversation, sir. Taehee doesn’t have feelings for that friend, and she came fully aware of dating and marrying that friend reluctantly because of Min Seontae.”
At Jehyeon’s words, the foolish Seontae stumbled all at once.
The title of Min Taehee’s only and first love was still powerful.
“Originally, in marriage, it’s not about a woman marrying a man she loves, but a woman marrying a man who loves her. I looked at Sajun as a potential suitor for Taehee for her happiness. Hm-hm.”
I won’t admit I was wrong until the end.
Instead of splashing water on Seontae’s shameless face, Jehyeon handed over his business card.
“Then please consider me as a potential suitor as well.”
In Sajun’s car on the way home after eating patbingsu, Taehee was silent.
She quietly looked out of the window at the passing scenery without meaning.
Even after arriving home, Sajun didn’t turn back to hold Taehee, only saying, “See you tomorrow.”
He just watched her delicate back disappearing into the building with a narrowed gaze.
Entering her home, Taehee turned on the lights and approached the window.
She knew she had to show her face at the window for Sajun to recognize her.
Standing by the car body, leaning against it, Sajun finally got into the car when Taehee waved her hand from the window.
After Sajun’s car disappeared, Taehee took a long sigh.
“Let’s just keep things as they were.”
After taking out a bottle of water from the mini-fridge and drinking it, Jehyeon went to the bathroom.
The steam from the hot water in the shower hit her mind.
Her vision blurred, and her mind followed suit.
While showering as usual, Taehee kept murmuring to herself incessantly.
“No, it can’t be. There’s no way.”
No matter how much she thought about it, there was no reason for her to be pregnant.
She had definitely used contraception, and even worriedly told Sajun to prepare multiple contraceptive items after the second night.
Because that one time seemed too much, just to be cautious.
Despite being so careful, there was no sign of pregnancy.
They say if you’re pregnant, your body condition isn’t good, you experience severe morning sickness, and you can’t stand smells well.
But for Taehee, there were no noticeable changes other than having more sleep.
Even that increased sleep was just a result of the increased appetite due to the fatigue of dealing with Sajun every weekend.
But why?
Turning off the shower, Taehee was convinced.
It must be because she’s approaching 30. Changes like once at 20, and once at 30, fitting her age.
It was an absurd logic, but she desperately wished for it. Without that, there was no reason.
As she took out the pregnancy test kit and calmly read the instructions, she couldn’t help but laugh.
“Why am I doing this?”
There was no chance of being pregnant, she could just go to the hospital for regular check-ups.
“And why do I have to stress myself like this.”
The situation was annoying.
She had to tell Sajun, go through the stress together, and wait for the results.
After considering whether to bring out the test kit, she decided to cover the toilet lid and place it on top.
Naturally, she thought it would be negative, and she left the bathroom to dry her hair as usual, but something felt off.
Her face was flushed, her heart pounding, and it felt like all the blood in her body was drying up.
Taehee deliberately moved slowly.
After drying her hair, applying skincare, putting on clothes, and even applying a face mask, when she checked the time, 20 minutes had passed.
Only then did Taehee open the bathroom door with a nonchalant expression.
Her composure only went that far.
As her gaze fell on the pregnancy test kit placed on the toilet lid, she sat down as if frozen.
It was two lines.
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.”
