Ending the call, a smile spread across Ho-yeon’s lips.
She probably found out the meeting place. Now, all that was left for Ho-yeon was to pick the right time to join and wait for the appointment time with a humming nose.
[Star icon]6 PM.
Chae-yoon, who had finished preparing to leave work, stared at the sky outside the window.
Until lunchtime, the sky had been clear and sunny, but it had suddenly turned pitch black.
‘There was no forecast for rain….’
Wondering why the weather suddenly changed, Chae-yoon felt uneasy and opened the weather app.
The previously sunny forecast had now changed to a cloudy state. The mild eyebrows frowned.
Chae-yoon didn’t like rainy days. It was because of her childhood memories of hearing about sea-borne rain, and the sky on days when rain poured down like a flood was as dark as if the world were ending.
Therefore, when Chae-yoon looked at a dark sky, her mood sank, and today was no exception.
“Not going?”
Chae-yoon’s head, which was looking at the phone, lifted.
As Chae-yoon and Jaeo locked eyes, Chae-yoon lifted the corners of her mouth slightly.
“I should go.”
Putting the phone she was looking at into her bag, Chae-yoon approached him.
“Manager, madam, have a great weekend.”
Jo Secretary, who had not yet left work, approached them and greeted them.
Jaeo walked ahead, seemingly indifferent.
Looking at the back view that lacked any courtesy, Chae-yoon sighed lightly and gave a bright smile to Jo Secretary.
“Yes, Jo Secretary, have a great weekend as well.”
Though formal, exchanging smiles that didn’t make them feel bad, Chae-yoon came out of the office and saw Jaeo already standing in front of the elevator.
If I go down in the elevator now, I won’t be able to see him today.
Feeling regretful, Chae-yoon comforted herself with the fact that they could be together over the weekend. As she approached Jaeo, he turned his head.
Just approaching him emitted a fragrant scent from the woman he was looking at, and he casually moved his hand to hold Chae-yoon’s hand.
Feeling Jaeo’s body temperature, Chae-yoon looked at him.
Jaeo’s face filled her field of vision. Among the features, his eyes, the most intense in color, were always striking.
Matching his gaze to those eyes, the handsome face she had been waiting for approached.
The lips that were accidentally overlapping without any intention were awkward. Realizing that they were outside the office, Chae-yoon raised her hand to push away his solid chest slightly.
A smile spread across Jaeo’s lips.
“It’s a shame to part like this.”
Smiling as if asking her to endure this much, Jaeo wrapped his arms around Chae-yoon’s neck and gently covered her small, plump lips.
The leisurely approaching lips suddenly changed as they sought the faint breath trapped inside Chae-yoon’s small mouth.
On the other hand, Chae-yoon, who had pushed him away when their lips touched, became calm when he actually explored her inside. It wasn’t the first or second time this had happened.
Moreover, this floor only housed Jaeo’s office and a few meeting rooms, and this place was a blind spot for CCTV.
It was a bit awkward that Jo Secretary was still inside the office, but Chae-yoon thought that if she calmly adjusted to him, the kiss would end soon.
So she was quietly adjusting, and then, why.
‘Hey, why are your hands again…’
Instead of calming down, chaos erupted.
“Oh, oppa. Just… get a hold of yourself…”
At that moment, Chae-yoon’s back touched the wall.
Only then did Chae-yoon realize the seriousness of the situation and shouted.
“Oppa!”
At the sound of her distressed voice, Jaeo’s movements stopped.
Taking deep breaths, after separating her lips from Chae-yoon’s, his eyes were indescribably tense.
Seeing the excited, raw, beast-like eyes that rose with arousal, Chae-yoon’s heart thumped violently.
Feeling a completely different sensation from before, Chae-yoon continued to look into his eyes, thinking that if she kept looking at him like this, something might happen.
“Get a hold of yourself…”
Chae-yoon finished speaking in a small voice, and when she gently pushed him away, his firm body surrounded her.
Hugging Chae-yoon tightly, Jaeo let out a sigh full of regret.
“I don’t want to go, but maybe I shouldn’t.”
“You said it’s been a long time since we met.”
Without a word, Jaeo buried his face in Chae-yoon’s delicate neck.
The tight, solid body, his body temperature felt from the back of her neck, and the intensified fragrance were pleasing.
Unconsciously loosening up and leaning on him, the sound of footsteps came with the opening of the office door.
“!”
Chae-yoon’s eyes, who was quietly nestled against him, widened.
Quickly pushing Jaeo away with her small hands, Chae-yoon urgently pressed the elevator button that was already there, and hurriedly slipped her body through the opening door.
“Uh? Manager.”
As soon as Chae-yoon disappeared, Jo Secretary’s voice could be heard.
“Haven’t you left yet?”
A cold gaze fell onto Jo Secretary’s face.
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.”
