The Monster Knight Wants Maternity Leave (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 72
Nia, holding her fork like a weapon, as if she were a lone warrior.
Lucia, scratching her head in apology.
Even Leon, with a bitter expression on his face.
Amidst them, Ivane, thrilled on her own, tried to act demure—but when the pudding on the table wobbled temptingly, she ultimately couldn’t stay still.
Ivane, grabbing her plump cheeks and sparkling with excitement.
“Wow, I’ve never seen pudding this big before! Thank you, Mama Nia! I’ll eat it all up!!”
As the excited child lunged forward, Lucia slowly poured juice into her cup.
“You should thank Director Leon here. He’s the one who bought it himself.”
“Wooow! Really!? So having a handsome face means you’ve got good taste too! You’d make a perfect husband! Hehe.”
When Ivane brought her snack plate over and cozily squeezed herself next to Leon, Nia’s expression grew even darker.
She’d called him over to keep an eye on things, yet he’d started showcasing his charm even more.
At this, Nia set down the cookie she’d been holding.
—Clack.
“It’s not tasty.”
Silence fell.
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.”
