The Runaway Female Lead Doesn't Run Away (13 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 72
There had already been several rejections before this. With every repetition of this situation, his suspicion kept snowballing larger and larger.
That Dahlia had been intimate with another man… and was now pregnant with his child.
Damn it.
Clayton couldn’t stop the wild, spiraling thoughts in his head.
It was insane enough that he was entertaining such vulgar notions about her, but the possibility that it might all actually be true made him see red.
Finally catching his breath, he let out a hollow laugh and asked,
“So, you’ll give me your blood but not your body—is that it?”
“No, it’s not that… It’s just… I mean…”
Dahlia bit her lip, unable to offer any excuse.
She lowered her head, unable to meet Clayton’s deeply wounded eyes.
There was nothing she could say in this situation. After all, hadn’t she already rejected his advances countless times like this?
Each time, Clayton had always told her he wouldn’t force her if she truly didn’t want to—but even his patience surely had its limits.
So it wasn’t strange at all that he was angry like this now.
Just as Dahlia was searching for the right words to soothe him—
“You were the one who wanted a child, weren’t 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.
