To You Who No Longer Want Me (7 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 46
The Ruschef family’s charity event had drawn an unusually large crowd to Arcan’s capital square.
Whereas Viare had previously been responsible only for organizing the event, she now also oversaw the Cheilo Donation Office, leaving her with barely a moment to spare.
Her trusted aides were also contributing in their respective roles to make the charity event shine.
Thus, the curtain rose on the charity performance, and exotic acts—unseen outside the Eastern Kingdom—poured forth in dazzling succession.
Several weeks prior, when the originally scheduled performer had to withdraw due to personal matters, disrupting the charity schedule, Viare had hastily sent a letter to Ushua.
Though she worried whether contacting Ushua—a woman already burdened with duties—on such short notice might be bothersome, Ushua readily selected performers from the Eastern Kingdom and swiftly dispatched them aboard a fast ship.
Watching their performance, Viare decided that upon returning to the mansion, her first task would be to write Ushua a letter.
It was while Viare was at the Cheilo Donation Office, overseeing the delivery of goods for the upcoming donation segment, that Tonyo approached her after finishing carrying boxes, his steps heavy with exhaustion.
“My Lady, you’ve worked hard. But where is Gaisen?”
“Weren’t you with the Viscount yourself, Miss?”
His tilted-head counterquestion reminded Viare of her troublesome younger brother, and she frowned.
‘Just where on earth is he…?’
Lately, Gaisen seemed to have caught some late-life wanderlust—disappearing abruptly despite his many responsibilities.
His usual evasiveness whenever asked where he’d been only deepened Viare’s unease.
Sighing lightly, she finished inspecting the prepared goods and headed toward the charity venue with Tonyo.
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.”
ARE YOU FUCKING DUMB?! just tell her the truth!!! 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
