His arm descended softly, and the chair he held fell to the ground powerless. Only then could Line release her grip on his waist.
The prison guards quickly took Na Song-rim away.
“Prosecutor! I’m sorry. It seems that the investigation will be difficult today. Uh…! But…!”
Seeing blood soaked into Line’s white shirt, the prison guard looked bewildered. Line also looked at where the guard’s eyes were directed.
It seemed strange that blood was spreading on her chest when it felt like the chair had hit her arm. Line suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Song Kang. It seemed like blood was coming from his back.
Song Kang already sensed that he was bleeding. He turned away so that Line couldn’t see. Line looked up at Song Kang with a face full of things she wanted to say.
She had eyes that seemed like tears would soon flow. Song Kang stared at her with a reassuring expression. Line, trying to hold back her tears, trembled and bit her lower lip.
“Can you walk alone?”
Song Kang asked nonchalantly. Line’s emotions were so complicated that she couldn’t even answer. As tears welled up in Line’s eyes and threatened to overflow, Song Kang hooked Line’s wrist and pulled her away. And they left that place.
In Song Kang’s car, Line lowered her head deeply, and tears streamed down.
“Let’s go somewhere.”
Without showing any concern, Line covered her face with both hands. He pulled her wrist to check her condition. At the very least, there were bruises, and worry arose about whether any bones were broken.
“Sigh…”
Song Kang let out a deep sigh.
“Let’s go to the hospital.”
“I have to go back to work. What about Director Yisa? What about Director Yisa? Hoo… What should I do? If you keep blocking me like this, what will happen?”
Line shouted at Song Kang with a heartbroken voice.
“If I didn’t block you like that, what would have happened if that chair hit Prosecutor Jin Line’s face? Have you ever thought about that?”
Song Kang also wanted to get angry as it was, but he couldn’t get angry at Line, who was still trembling.
“Don’t stay here like this. Go to the hospital quickly.”
“What do you mean, go? You have to go together.”
“I have to return to the prosecutor’s office. You go to the hospital quickly! You’re bleeding!”
Line said without suppressing her emotions. Song Kang’s patience reached its limit. The issue was not Line’s emotional attitude.
“Am I supposed to go to the hospital alone?”
“I’m fine. You need to go to the hospital now.”
“If you don’t go, I won’t go either. I have to return to the company.”
Song Kang started the car. After a short while, Line changed her mind about going to the hospital, still trembling.
“Okay. Let’s go. Go. Let’s go together. Director, you have to go to the hospital now.”
Song Kang accelerated toward the hospital.
There was nothing seriously wrong with Line’s arm, but Song Kang’s back needed stitches. Line waited for him anxiously.
Having finished the stitching, Song Kang followed the doctor’s instructions to rest for a while in the treatment room. Sitting on the bed, he waited for the antiseptic applied to his back to dry.
Line stood next to him, her face full of concern. Looking down at his back, her face contorted even more.
“It must hurt…”
“It’s hot.”
“You should’ve come with me when I was getting treated. Earlier, I didn’t mean for you to go to the hospital alone…”
Expressing her remorse, Line blew a gentle breeze onto his back to cool down the heat. Unintentionally, Song Kang smiled at her insignificant breeze.
He hooked her waist and pulled her onto his lap. Line rolled her eyes down, unable to say anything.
“I thought I should check. Did I scare you by not yelling?”
Not wanting to lie, Line avoided his gaze.
“But you still cowered…”
Line tried to appeal that she made an effort to keep the promise she made with Song Kang.
“So, I’m less hurt… What about Director Yisa? What if Director Yisa had leaped into the chair like that?”
“I never leaped into a chair. I leaped towards Prosecutor Jin Line.”
Line swept his face with both hands. Song Kang also touched her face with his eyes. Line stared at him piercingly.
This is a hospital…
This shouldn’t happen in a public place…
Theoretically, she knew it, but instincts didn’t listen to reason. Line closed her eyes to cut off various conflicts and kissed his lips.
Song Kang was startled by her calm provocation and twitched his forehead. Soon, he closed his eyes at the soft sensation.
The kiss deepened with a sticky sound.
As they were becoming intoxicated with each other, Line’s phone vibrated.
Startled, Line detached her lips from him and checked her phone. It was a call from Juhyeok. Song Kang also saw the name ‘Our Senior Juhyeok’ on the phone screen.
“Director, just a moment…”
It wasn’t just a moment’s problem. Today, Song Kang, who didn’t want to send away his feelings anywhere, pressed Line’s hand holding the phone, leaning his body to the side. Then, he focused on the kiss again. Line’s body tensed.
Song Kang, with the momentum to relieve tension in her body, smoothly and warmly delved into her mouth. Line’s hand lost its strength, and even the phone slipped away.
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.”
