It was a sticky and hot night.
As if to regret the end, Woo Jin was exceptionally passionate, and so Bora could gain a pleasure from him that she had never felt before.
At this rate, it might be worth meeting occasionally after the marriage when feeling nostalgic, Bora thought, then quickly shook her head.
This man, he’s so sleazy, if I don’t cut ties here, it will become a headache later. Moreover, a long tail is likely to be stepped on.
Anyhow, thinking that today was the last day, Bora burned her body without reserve. When the long affair had ended, they were both so exhausted they couldn’t even properly dress, and just fell asleep entwined as if they had fainted.
Bora vaguely woke from sleep because of a sound that came from somewhere.
Click.
At first, she was too tired to open her eyes despite the sound. The noise continued even though she wanted to keep sleeping.
Click, click, click.
Ah, it’s so noisy, I could die. What on earth is this sound… While halfasleep, she suddenly felt a sinking feeling in her chest.
‘Shutter sound?’
Bora abruptly sat up. As if waiting, another click, along with a flash, burst out.
The darknessacclimated eyes were mercilessly pierced by a sharp, bright flash.
“Yikes!”
Bora screamed and covered her eyes. Upon hearing Bora’s scream, Woo Jin, who had been sleeping unaware of the world, finally woke up.
“What’s wrong, Bora? Huh?”
Woo Jin asked with a sleepy voice, and then, with a clank, the room light was turned on.
The two men and women were stunned for a moment by the sudden attack of light.
When they finally overcame the dazzle and opened their eyes, they saw a woman with a cold face standing in front of the bed.
It was Si Hyun.
“……!”
Bora and Woo Jin froze at the same time.
“Yikes!”
A moment later, Bora screamed and hurriedly covered her body with a blanket.
To the two of them, Si Hyun once again aimed her phone. Click.
“Ka, Kang Si Hyun! What are you doing right now? Huh?”
Picking up any clothes scattered under the bed, Woo Jin shouted with a flushed face. Keeping her phone camera focused on Woo Jin, Si Hyun calmly replied.
“Gathering evidence.”
Bora, who had pulled the blanket up to her chest, shouted sharply.
“Brother, snatch the phone! Quick!”
“Huh? Huh! Okay!”
Woo Jin quickly responded to Bora’s directive. With only his underwear on, he charged at Si Hyun, roughly grabbed her arm, and snatched the phone away, hurling it on the ground.
He then grabbed a lampstand and smashed the phone several times. Bang! Bang! Bang! The screen couldn’t bear the impact and shattered, sending shards of glass flying in all directions.
In the meantime, Bora scrambled to get dressed. She was so startled that she only managed to fasten a couple of buttons on her blouse, and her skirt was nowhere to be seen.
While the two were frantic, Si Hyun coldly observed their actions.
Only after completely demolishing Si Hyun’s phone did Woo Jin, gasping for breath, put down the lampstand.
“Hey, Kang Si Hyun! Are you out of your mind? What is this, barging in here in the middle of the night and…” Thinking that he had luckily destroyed all the evidence, Woo Jin started to yell again, but Si Hyun interrupted him.
“I’ve already sent it all.”
“What?”
“I’ve already sent everything elsewhere. The pictures and the videos, everything.”
The blood drained from Woo Jin’s face. Bora looked just as pale.
Both had the same intuition. They were on the brink of a crisis that could ruin their lives.
“Si, Si Hyun. Listen, I can explain everything.”
As Woo Jin belatedly began to stammer an excuse, Si Hyun spoke.
“Kneel.”
Woo Jin hesitantly knelt down. Si Hyun gestured for Bora to join him.
“You too.”
Bora also hesitated before coming over to kneel beside Woo Jin.
When the lights turned on, the scene inside the room was harshly revealed. The bedsheets were in a disarray, testifying to what had transpired.
Underneath, two people were kneeling in embarrassment. Woo Jin was nearly naked except for his underwear. Bora, too, was scantily clad in a hastily buttoned blouse and panties.
If someone had been watching, they would have burst out laughing at the ridiculous scene. They say life is a comedy from a distance and a tragedy up close, maybe they were talking about situations like this.
Si Hyun asked suddenly while looking at the two people kneeling side by side.
“Was it Bora from the beginning?”
“I’m sorry, team leader. I’ve made a big mistake.”
Bora’s eyes welled up with tears. Si Hyun closed her eyes.
[“Well, is there a problem between you two? When you look at your fiancé, you just ooze adoration.”] [“That’s why, team leader, you should marry him and be happy.”]Woo Jin’s words came back to her.
“I mean, what work. That, you know… I was on a call with a client.”
“It was a female employee from the client’s side. We just had a few meals together, that’s all. Really, nothing more happened.”
Even after being caught for his infidelity, he had refrained from revealing the other party until the end.
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.”
