Postponing Divorce (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 22
Seeing Jae Oh again arrive at the office before her today, Secretary Yang turned to Woo Jong in surprise.
“Secretary Kim, isn’t our director going to collapse at this rate? He’s been pushing himself way too hard lately…”
Just as she said, Jae Oh’s schedule had been brutal recently.
Logically, as his subordinates, they should have shared his burden and worked harder alongside him—but Jae Oh insisted on handling even unnecessary tasks alone, refusing any help from his secretaries.
Though he’d told them to stand down, and they’d obeyed for now, Woo Jong was growing increasingly worried about Jae Oh.
“I heard he’s not even eating properly.”
“Yes.”
He was taking on extra work voluntarily, yet barely eating—his weight had visibly dropped.
‘It’s probably because of Madam…’
Jae Oh’s workload had ballooned right after Chae Yoon left home.
‘Should I call her and ask her to come by for a bit?’
Woo Jong shook his head.
This was his superior’s private life. Unless Jae Oh ordered otherwise, he couldn’t interfere.
Woo Jong sighed, hoping Jae Oh would return to his usual self as soon as possible.
Lunchtime arrived amid the tense atmosphere.
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.”
