Miss Pendleton (Update to C.222 END) - Chapter 147
Laura nestled deeper into his arms, enveloped in a languid sense of happiness.
Suddenly, Ian held something out in front of her eyes. It was a small bouquet of marigolds.
Laura blinked and looked up at her husband.
“A gift?”
He nodded.
“I stopped briefly at Covent Garden to buy them.”
Laura smiled faintly and took the bouquet. She was delighted, though not entirely surprised, for this was hardly the first time receiving flowers from him.
During the two months of their engagement before the wedding, Laura had received a bouquet from Ian every single day. He visited her at Dunvil Park, where she was staying, presenting a bouquet he had crafted.
Each bouquet, carefully arranged and tied with a silk ribbon, possessed a harmonious and vibrant beauty. It was a reflection of his love for Laura.
Even after their marriage, Ian never ceased offering flowers. Each morning, he would head to the greenhouse, gather an armful of fresh blooms, and bring them to Laura’s room. There, he would carefully arrange them, one by one, in a large vase adorned with gold and rubies.
Decorating his wife’s space with flowers was a cherished ritual for him, and since their marriage, he had not missed a single day.
Laura inhaled the scent of the marigold bouquet in her hands. Every time she received flowers from him, her heart fluttered.
“Marigolds are truly lovely flowers. Oh, and the ribbon is tied so neatly, too. You bought these from a flower girl, didn’t you?”
“Yes.”
“That’s kind of you. Those children rely on selling flowers to make a living.”
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.”
