Second Male Lead, You Said It Was A Contract Marriage? (7 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 022
“Newlyweds! Yes, you’re still newlyweds, aren’t you? That makes sense.”
“Of course, once you have a child, your mind becomes completely occupied.”
“Not to mention, nighttime duties become difficult too.”
At the word “nighttime duties,” I involuntarily hiccupped.
“S-sorry. Hic. It’s just… hiccups.”
As I held my breath, trying to stop the hiccups, the ladies looked at me affectionately.
“We never expected the Duchess of Ferhaem to be this adorable.”
“Exactly. She’s so fresh and innocent, just like we were when we were young.”
“No wonder the Duke of Ferhaem is completely smitten.”
Their words were so embarrassing to hear that I quickly turned my head away. But the more I did, the more those three pairs of eyes sparkled as they fixed on me.

Tick, tock. Time passed quickly. Perhaps because I had unintentionally become a passionate newlywed, the ladies treated me with extra warmth, and our tea time concluded without any particular incident.
I secretly let out a deep sigh. There had been a few awkward moments, but aside from feeling slightly embarrassed, the conversations and atmosphere had been pleasant overall.
‘Perhaps it’s fortunate. Even in such relaxed conversations, there were times when I completely froze up.’
I had confidently promised myself to become close enough to Marchioness Stemun to support her from behind. But now that I was here, I realized that if someone like me—who had almost no experience in high society—had approached Marchioness Yekert’s tea gathering first, I would surely have been suspected or scrutinized.
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.”
