The Secret Affairs of the Fake Duke Couple (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 97
Silence swallowed the room.
Jane looked down at Cain with trembling eyes. In a voice ashen like burnt-out embers, he kept apologizing to her over and over.
What was he apologizing for?
Why apologize now, of all times?
Sadness rippled through Jane’s green eyes.
“What exactly do you know that you’re apologizing for?”
Jane asked. Cain, seemingly suffering from the alcohol, clutched a cushion and exhaled heavily, “Huff… huff.” It wasn’t an answer to her question.
“I’m sorry… I’m so sorry, Jane. Jane… I’m sorry….”
Just when she thought it was over, his apologies resumed. Tears streamed down his long eyelashes.
The proud man’s apology and tears had once again pried loose another cornerstone from the wall Jane had so painstakingly built.
Jane covered her eyes with one hand.
“Why are you doing this to me? What do you even want from me?”
She muttered a complaint she knew he wouldn’t hear, then pulled her hand free from his grasp.
Cain groaned and fumbled through the air, searching for Jane’s hand.
Was he conscious or not?
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.”
Oh dear, another troublesome situation has occurred.
So these two are colluding to cause trouble for Jane.
Looks like Cain deeply cared for Arthur, how heartwarming.
