Lord Preston's Secret Tutor (47 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 97
“It’s Master Benjamin Preston and Miss Jacqueline Somerset, Your Royal Highness.”
Albert introduced the two to him.
Patrick Grant.
A man who had been named crown prince at the age of ten and had borne the title for twenty-eight years.
“Ah, so this child must be my rumored nephew.”
He smiled with a gentle face. Yet for a fleeting moment, his eyes swept over Benjamin with a serpent’s chill.
Jacqueline instinctively stepped forward one pace and placed a protective hand on Benjamin’s shoulder.
“…Go ahead and greet him, Benjamin.”
“I pay my respects to Your Royal Highness.”
“Hmm.”
Patrick’s gaze now turned toward Jacqueline. She, too, curtsied respectfully.
“I pay my respects to Your Royal Highness.”
But Patrick kept his eyes fixed on Benjamin. Under the prolonged stare, the child’s expression grew increasingly stiff and uneasy.
Though Benjamin was only six years old, he could already tell who liked him and who did not. In fact, it was precisely because he was six that he sensed it with crystal clarity—and it was obvious this man before him did not like him at all.
Patrick spoke with a mocking lilt.
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.”

I must say, some chapters back, I complained that the author were unnecessarily sensual in their description of Windsor desire (considering this is not an NSFW work). But, now I’m more glad than ever lmaoo
