To You Who No Longer Want Me (7 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 71
“……Princess, are you even listening to me right now?”
“I’m sorry. My body still isn’t fully recovered, so I’ve been unintentionally impolite.”
Ivan, who had been watching her with a gaze tinged with concern, gave a small nod and spoke.
“I just remembered—you collapsed from overwork a few days ago, didn’t you?”
Recalling how Duke Ruschef had attributed her collapse solely to overwork, she inwardly scoffed.
‘Father truly seems completely unaffected.’
At the same time, Dension’s clear eyes trembled unmistakably, but Viare simply averted her gaze with calm detachment.
“Your Highness the Crown Prince, you should come over for a moment!”
As more people began seeking Ivan, the organizer of this hunting tournament, he frowned and reluctantly rose from his seat, addressing the two before him.
“I’m afraid I must step away briefly.”
“I should take my leave as well.”
“There’s no need. You and I must appear together at the official gathering anyway.”
Leaving Viare with instructions to wait there, Ivan vanished without a trace, and the pavilion was once again filled with silence.
Awkwardly standing still, Viare glanced sideways at Dension—and, strangely enough, he was also looking at her.
He seemed as if he wanted to say something, yet deliberately avoided her gaze, and only after some time passed did he finally speak.
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!!! 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
