Her gaze was fixed on Su-yeon’s face.
“Why is she here again?”
Her inner thoughts leaked out in a chilly voice.
Noticing this, Si-woo, the manager beside her, flinched and followed Yuri’s gaze.
Realizing she was looking at Su-yeon, Si-woo instinctively relayed what he knew.
“Ah, you’re looking at In-ho hyung’s wife. In-ho hyung must have insisted on bringing her along. Actually, everyone on the staff is buzzing about In-ho hyung.”
Yuri’s eyes sharpened instantly at this casual remark.
“In-ho oppa’s story?”
Si-woo, oblivious to Yuri’s change in demeanor, nodded.
“Yes. He never showed it before, but he seems to be quite a loving husband. The meals we had for lunch and dinner today were hastily booked by In-ho hyung, paying extra before coming to the set. He said he didn’t want his wife eating a packed lunch.”
“…”
“I thought it was unlikely at first, but thinking about it, it might really be true.”
“…”
“In-ho hyung usually doesn’t complain and eats packed lunches. Even when the director suggests going out for a proper meal to change things up, he’d laugh and say it would delay the shoot, suggesting we stick with packed lunches.”
“…”
“Ah, a meal truck for his wife. How happy must his wife be to have In-ho hyung as her husband? He’s truly amazing. That’s how life should be lived.”
Si-woo’s eyes, looking towards In-ho in the distance, were filled with admiration.
Ignoring that, Yuri was not only displeased with Su-yeon’s presence but now also annoyed with Si-woo.
“If he’s so worried, he should have let her eat comfortably at home. Why bring her here? Wait, are you sure she came because In-ho hyung insisted? If he’s that worried, why not let her stay at home? It wasn’t her who insisted on coming, was it?”
The words she’d only thought to herself spilled out sharply.
Even though that should have been enough for Si-woo to notice Yuri’s discomfort, he remained caught up in praising In-ho.
“No, it’s true that In-ho hyung insisted. I heard from a passing staff member that she’s been seen on set often these days. In-ho hyung himself said it.”
“…”
“He said he couldn’t bear to be apart from her even for a moment and begged her to come. I heard he said it with a smile stretching ear to ear. And he added that it wouldn’t interfere with the shooting.”
“…”
“You know how In-ho hyung is always expressionless when he talks. The fact that he maintained that expression except when talking about his wife makes it seem like it’s not made up.”
“…”
“I’ve always felt this, but I think In-ho hyung is really cool. Handsome face, good family, top-tier actor. And now a loving husband on top of that. What does In-ho hyung lack? He’s just perfect. Right, noona?”
Totally smitten with In-ho, Si-woo finally looked at Yuri.
Yuri, silent, continued to fix her gaze on In-ho and Su-yeon.
Clearly, her focus was on them, but Si-woo felt a chill run down his spine.
Sensing something off, he slowly started to move away.
As if to avoid Yuri’s notice, he moved with extreme caution.
Si-woo concluded it was best to leave the area, sensing he might unintentionally become a target of her annoyance.
As soon as he was far enough, Si-woo quickly disappeared.
Even after Si-woo left, Yuri couldn’t take her eyes off Su-yeon and In-ho for a long while.
The couple, having finished their meal, picked up their coffee and headed somewhere.
It seemed they were planning to spend some time together before resuming shooting.
“Annoying.”
Yuri muttered in a sharp, irritated voice.
Her intense gaze was fixed on Su-yeon.
Yuri couldn’t stand Su-yeon, feeling almost insane with hatred.
If she could, she would not only remove Su-yeon from her sight but also from In-ho’s life.
To Yuri, Su-yeon was nothing but a vixen who had stolen her man.
Thinking about it, it all started from the day that woman first came to the set.
Since then, In-ho’s attitude towards Yuri had changed.
Not just that, often, he seemed to emit a subtly different aura.
If the old In-ho had a very masculine vibe, lately, there were not a few days where he exuded a gentle and affectionate atmosphere.
Any vibe of Seo In-ho was good for Yuri.
Especially, In-ho, who was gentle and affectionate, seemed like he would be the most caring man in the world.
So, why would she dislike it?
The problem was that it seemed even that change was because of that woman.
The impression of In-ho, usually sharp enough to feel masculine, felt gentle and affectionate because he often wore a very bright smile.
Just by seeing it, one’s mood would lift, and heart warm, making Yuri’s fantasy about In-ho grow even more.
But that smile resembled that woman’s.
As if she had taught In-ho that smile herself.
“Ah, I really hate it… hate it! I hate it so much!”
Unable to control her emotions, Yuri stomped her feet hard.
Despite her loud protests, In-ho was still only looking at that woman.
Without exception, he not only directed his gaze at her but also reserved his handsome smiles exclusively for her.
Yuri tightly shut her eyes. She wanted to assert her presence by continually looking at In-ho, but she couldn’t take it anymore.
Biting her lower lip in anger, Yuri hurriedly boarded her van.
It was too hard to bear any longer.
Although a few staff members’ gazes landed on her, she didn’t care.
At that moment, only In-ho mattered to her.
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.”
