Second Male Lead, You Said It Was A Contract Marriage? (7 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 047
Come to think of it, she said she’d come today, didn’t she? I dropped my previously serious expression and smiled brightly.
“Welcome, Lopi. Today’s your first day, right?”
“Yes, my lady!”
Back then, she had looked half-dead at Duke Yekert’s estate. But now her answer was spirited, and her face was bright.
‘How nice to see. That kind heart of hers, which worried about me, seems like it will fit well with the people of the Ferhaem Duchy. I’m glad I brought her here.’
“While the Ferhaem Duchy and Duke Yekert’s estate may differ in the details of their operations, Ember will explain everything to you. Normally, I’d leave everything to Ember, but I wanted to see you in person, so I asked you to come.”
At that, Lopi’s pupils widened, and she covered her mouth with both hands.
“That my lady wished to see my insignificant face is such an honor! My lady is as beautiful and gracious as the goddess of beauty I’ve heard about. To even remember my lowly name—how utterly different you are from the Duchess of Yekert, truly an angel! I’m deeply moved.”
Hmm…? It felt like I’d just received an extremely long compliment. But if she meant it that much, then fine.
“I see. I’m glad to hear you say that.”
Kids her age have very clear likes and dislikes. How cute. Yes, how very cute.
“Yes! I thought I’d surely be slapped for being so presumptuous. How terribly rude of me to think that way! You, who pulled me out from the pit of hell, are an angel. At that moment, I saw a halo behind you—so bright, like the sun, it nearly blinded me.”
“U-uh… I see.”
I hadn’t realized back then. She talks a lot and has such exaggerated reactions. But it seemed this wasn’t over yet, as Lopi began another round of praise toward me.
“Ah… My lady is my savior and my light. Truly! I want you to know that I’d stake my very life for you.”
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.”
