The Bad Husband (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 97
Startled, Young Ja tried to pick up the baby vests scattered on the table, but before she could, Woo Jin entered. Naturally, his gaze lingered on the items laid out there.
“What, you’re still keeping these?”
“Yeah. I couldn’t quite bring myself to throw them away—they’re memories, after all. Hearing that Tae Eun is pregnant suddenly brought them to mind. Young Hee and Young Sook already boasted about money, and I doubt anyone could outdo your grandmother in strength, so I thought I’d just offer these instead.”
“Tae Eun… she’ll probably love them.”
At those words, Young Ja smiled faintly.
It was an exceedingly awkward moment.
Ever since things had soured between her and Woo Jin, it felt as though they hadn’t spent time alone together in a million years. Even when they happened to face each other, coldness always hung in the air—so this moment, reminiscing about the past, felt like time suspended unrealistically in midair.
“But what’s the matter? Weren’t you planning to stay overnight in the annex tonight? Aren’t you heading over?”
“I will. But before that, there’s something I need to say to you.”
“…What is it?”
At Young Ja’s question, Woo Jin fell silent for a moment. Though he’d mentally rehearsed this scene dozens of times, now that the moment had arrived, the words refused to come easily. Sensing his hesitation, Young Ja resumed placing the baby vests back into the box and said,
“If it’s not urgent, you can tell me later—”
“I’m sorry. And thank you.”
Instantly, Young Ja’s hand, about to close the box, froze midair—she hadn’t expected those words to come from Woo Jin’s mouth. Yet once he’d begun, Woo Jin slowly laid bare the emotions he’d long suppressed and quietly stored within himself.
“I should’ve told you this long ago, but I couldn’t. I was too narrow-minded.”

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.”
