Saved Him, Now I'm Obsessed (10 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 147
Only after he showed up with a face full of complaints did my mood lighten a little. Just moments ago, I’d been racking my brain over Eloyd’s proposal, so why did seeing Ian’s irritated expression suddenly lift this suffocating weight off my chest?
At times like this, I had to admit I wasn’t exactly the nicest person—after all, I clearly enjoyed teasing Ian the most.
“You’re not Jane’s fiancé, but Claire’s… No, never mind. Tell me more about it instead.”
It surprised me that he wanted details. I’d expected him to refuse to ask at all, even when annoyed by my provocation. But if he was this curious, I’d have to tell him. I pushed the documents aside for a moment.
“Alright. I’ll tell you what happened yesterday. Let’s have some tea while we talk.”
I stood up from my seat, and he immediately headed toward the shelf where the tea leaves were kept.
“I’ll brew the tea.”
“But I was going to make it for you…”
At my words, he briefly looked conflicted, then quickly shook his head.
“You don’t really drink tea you’ve brewed yourself, do you? You just want to drink tea.”
“That’s true. Somehow, whenever I brew it myself, it tastes like poison. My brewing skills have actually improved quite a bit, but it still doesn’t suit my taste.”
I’d always hated bitter flavors, and every time I made tea myself, it ended up tasting worse than plain water.
Though inhabiting Claire’s body had dulled my sensitivity to bitterness—and I’d even learned how to brew tea properly from Ileina—I still didn’t enjoy the taste of tea I made myself.
“When brewing tea, water temperature and steeping time matter, but you never focus properly on it.”
Ian was right—I rarely paid attention while making tea. I often forgot about it completely, only drinking it after it had gone cold.

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.”
