True Marriage After Divorce (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 48
Unable to bear looking into Jae Hyuk’s eyes any longer, Ah Rin walked ahead to the franchise coffee shop directly across from VAN Group’s headquarters.
It was lunchtime, so the café was bustling with customers.
Sure enough, as soon as she entered, several people inside recognized him and immediately stood up.
He gave them a casual wave, and at his gesture, those who had risen gradually sat back down.
“Is it okay to talk here?”
Ah Rin asked, conscious of the people glancing back and forth between her and Jae Hyuk.
“It’s fine. They probably know you’re my wife—but sorry, my mistake. They know you were my wife, but no one will say it out loud so easily. Don’t worry.”
My wife? Shouldn’t he normally say “ex-wife”?
His offhand remark, slipping by as if nothing, oddly grated on her.
“I already know what you’re going to say today. There’s no benefit in letting anyone know I’m meeting my ex-wife. Let’s go somewhere else, then.”
She spoke sharply, bristling. But again, just like before, he didn’t drop his smile despite his cold words.
“We can do it here. And don’t worry. If you dislike it, I have enough influence to quiet a single rumor.”
They took seats at a table by the floor-to-ceiling window. He didn’t sit down, instead leaning his hands on the table and staring intently at her. His deep black eyes, seemingly pulling her in, were like a black hole.
“Do as you please. After all, Ban Jae Hyuk will suffer more losses than I would.”
“Fine. I’ll handle everything. Stay seated—I’ll go place our order.”

The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
