My Husband Has Changed (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 72
But Donovan scratched the back of his head with an indifferent expression and continued.
“My mind is already in utter chaos over what excuse I can possibly give His Grace the Grand Duke for failing to stop Her Highness.”
Adel forgot her brief seriousness and let out an awkward chuckle. Seeing her reaction, Donovan, looking genuinely troubled rather than joking, went on,
“Whenever anything concerns Her Highness’s safety, the Grand Duke scrutinizes us as if we were mice… You haven’t witnessed that sight yourself, which is probably why you can laugh so freely. Believe me, His Grace is truly terrifying then.”
Valentin acting terrifyingly?
Adel found the phrasing odd—and was slightly surprised at herself for finding it odd.
Somewhere along the way, she’d moved beyond mere comfort around Valentin and had begun viewing him as someone utterly familiar and harmless.
In fact…
“Just thinking his name makes my heart race.”
Her cheeks, once as pale as magnolia blossoms, flushed crimson instantly, making Donovan’s expression twist strangely. He grumbled petulantly,
“Please don’t wear that smitten look as if merely thinking of him is enough to make you happy. How are us lonely folk supposed to live, honestly?”
…Had she really been that obvious? Embarrassed, Adel covered her burning neck and cheeks with her hands. The cool breeze helped soothe the sudden heat rising in her skin.
“I’m merely looking pleased. You’re imagining things, Sir.”
Margaret shot Donovan a sidelong glance, then turned back to Adel with a satisfied smile, as if encouraging her further.
“What could be more heartwarming than seeing a married couple cherish and love each other so?”

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.”
