[Full] The Villainess Just Wants to Live Quietly! (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 22
The next day, two people sent by Ollande came to see me.
The man wearing glasses gave an immediate impression of being extremely intelligent, while the other man had a fierce appearance and a robust build.
The bespectacled man stepped forward first and greeted me.
“Hello, miss. It’s a pleasure to meet you. My name is Robin. His Lordship the Marquis instructed me to consult with you regarding the construction of the laboratory.”
“Oh, I’ve been expecting you.”
Robin’s greeting brought back memories of my previous conversation with Ollande.
“Then I shall have an expert contact you shortly regarding the laboratory. If you have nothing further to add, I shall take my leave.”
Since I’d been awaiting news about the laboratory, the sudden arrival of these two visitors felt especially welcome.
I sat down at the reception room table and gestured for them to take their seats.
Robin bowed politely before sitting down, and the burly man also offered a brief introduction before taking his seat.
“My name is Tyler. I handle the construction.”
True to his rugged appearance, Tyler spoke only what was necessary.
I didn’t dislike his unapproachable demeanor—in fact, I preferred someone earnest who lacked eloquence over someone overly smooth yet lacking substance.
Of course, I’d need more time to truly understand what kind of person Tyler was, but I strongly disliked those who flattered me merely because of my status.
“I’m glad to meet you both. Has the location for the laboratory been decided yet?”
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.”

Maybe it is better to just leave it be? The last time the intervention caused much trouble.
- She got so absorbed that she forgot such an important date. Fortunately, Askan took initiative in telling her.
I’m so much against alcohol, so I can never understand these kinds of actions. 🤷🏻♀️
I hope his soul gets cured, is all I can say.

Seeing my alarmed expression, Askan looked momentarily confused—his gaze seeming
I wonder when they’ll share to each other their knowledge. The time will come for sure.Anyone watching might think Askan was jealous of my relationship with Barnen.
Oh! So you aren’t dense. I was puzzled for some time about that.
"My attendant. I brought him along since I had a lot of things to carry today."
He is her attendant, and also her bodyguard — so it seems.
