Shall I Save You, Duke? (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 47
A heavy silence, as if cutting off all surrounding noise, hung between the two frozen figures. Lina, who had regained her composure before Belige, hurriedly lowered her head.
‘Of all times…!’
Why hadn’t she thought of it sooner—that Belige would be with the security force.
She recalled the duke’s words from days past, saying he couldn’t enter the mansion because he was investigating the string of disappearances in the capital.
“You…”
Just as Belige parted his lips to say something, a voice calling for the duke rang out from afar.
“My lord Duke, you’re needed for a moment.”
At the soldier’s words, Belige, who had been quietly gazing at Lina, rose from his seat.
“…The lady sitting here seems greatly shaken. Take good care of her.”
“Yes, my lord Duke.”
The man gave Belige a brief bow and draped the blanket he’d been holding over Lina.
“Once your identity is confirmed, you’ll be safely sent home, so please don’t worry.”
He must have assumed Lina was trembling out of fear.
“…Yes, thank you.”
Even as she thanked the soldier, her eyes followed only Belige’s retreating back.
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.”
