The Secret Affairs of the Fake Duke Couple (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 48
Cedric reached out his hand, but Cain was faster. Cain caught Jane and pulled her firmly into his arms.
“Hrrk.”
Jane gasped in surprise.
“You should be more careful.”
Cain whispered gently and drew Jane closer by her waist. Her cheek was pressed against his broad chest.
“Thank you, Cain. I tripped.”
Feeling oddly embarrassed, Jane tried to push him away, but Cain refused to let her go.
Instead, Cedric glared fiercely at the back of Cain’s head as he held her even tighter.
An odd atmosphere settled over the tent.
It felt like a powder keg ready to explode from the tiniest spark.
“Cain, the guests are waiting.”
Jane shot him a quick glance. Cain kept holding her close without even looking at her.
‘He’s avoiding my gaze.’
Jane couldn’t fathom what he was thinking at all.
Hesitating for a moment, Jane hooked her arm through Cain’s—intending to show Cedric, who doubted their marriage, that there was nothing suspicious between them.

Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
