Thus Began Your Regret (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 22
“Oh my. It’s the Allen Couple.”
“Weren’t they just here a moment ago?”
“It seems the husband came back again. How unusual.”
The murmuring spread slowly from the entrance of the hall.
“They said they had something come up and had to delay their attendance. It really must have been something urgent.”
No matter what people said, it was useless in front of Silly. Noble gentlemen engaged in business suddenly all became extremely busy.
“I’ll go have a quick chat, then.”
“I’ll come along too.”
Men who had been drinking throughout the party venue approached Edward to greet him.
With smiling faces, they feigned genuine delight as they spoke.
“Well, if it isn’t the famous engineer, Mr. Allen himself!”
“This is the first time I’ve seen you and your wife together at a party.”
To their remarks, Edward casually pulled Louisa’s hand toward himself and replied as if it were nothing.
“I’ve been rather occupied lately, much to my wife’s regret.”
“What on earth could you possibly be so busy with?”
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.”
That seems nice at least he is trying the problem that he doesn’t know how !!!
