Postponing Divorce (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 97
His eyes seemed to know exactly what they had been up to all this time—there was no wavering in the gaze that radiated from them.
The phrase “anonymous tipster” from the news article suddenly came to mind.
‘Could it possibly be… Father?’
The evidence materials linked Jung Woong’s business dealings with the legislative bills proposed by Congressman Kwon at the time. However, since it wasn’t a recent matter, Kyeong Hee hadn’t considered Ji Pil as the anonymous informant.
If Ji Pil had truly been paying attention to this matter, he wouldn’t have waited until now to hand over the evidence to prosecutors like this—backstabbing them. He would have simply called Jung Woong in and given him a stern warning back then.
Therefore, Kyeong Hee suspected the tipster was either another congressman trying to check Congressman Kwon’s power, or perhaps Jae Oh. Yet out of nowhere, Ji Pil had just mentioned Congressman Kwon.
‘Could it possibly be…’
She wondered whether this had something to do with his earlier comments about the next chairman position.
Jung Woong had simply assumed it was related to the TK Tower incident, but Kyeong Hee didn’t think so.
Whenever Ji Pil took action, there was always a solid reason behind it. She had wanted to figure out that reason but hadn’t succeeded—she’d only guessed that perhaps Han Jae Oh had persuaded Ji Pil because he didn’t want to divorce Song Chae Yoon.
But what if Han Jae Oh hadn’t pleaded with Ji Pil merely out of reluctance to divorce, but had instead used evidence of Congressman Kwon’s corruption to convince him?
Everything that had seemed suspicious suddenly became crystal clear.
As Kyeong Hee faintly grasped Ji Pil’s intention behind mentioning the next chairman position, her mind began racing rapidly.
“Kyeong Hee.”
Kyeong Hee’s eyes, which had been gauging the exchange between Ji Pil and Jae Oh, reacted.

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.”
