Whispers of Autumn Wind (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 22
“Why isn’t he coming down yet?”
Ga Eul kept grumbling as she repeatedly glanced up toward the second floor. It wasn’t as if things would be settled just by the President coming down alone.
Ga Eul was waiting in the office for the President, Gyeo Wool, and Jeong Se Hyun. Today was the day Ga Eul and Gyeo Wool were scheduled to formally greet their maternal relatives.
Chairman Oh Gyu Baek had invited Gi Dae Woong and Jeong Se Hyun as well, citing gratitude for their help with Ga Eul and Gyeo Wool.
Dae Woon and Se Hyun accepted the invitation to go and support Ga Eul and Gyeo Wool. The four planned to gather at the office first, then depart together for Chairman Oh’s residence.
Ga Eul arrived first. Since Gyeo Wool, a high school senior, still had Saturday classes, she’d agreed to come to the office after finishing her morning lessons.
Jeong Se Hyun arrived before the President—even though the President lived practically right next door—having only a short distance to cover to reach the office.
“Shall I get you some coffee?”
“No, thank you. I doubt you even know how to make it.”
Se Hyun declined with a faint smile. Ga Eul, feeling embarrassed, also gave a nervous chuckle—apparently Se Hyun had already heard about what she’d done to Jung Mi Oh.
“I’m truly sorry for that incident back then. I’ve firmly warned Mi Oh, so she won’t come here again to trouble you, Ga Eul.”
“I don’t really recall being troubled, though.”
Aside from having heard that the President had a fiancée. Still, since hearing that didn’t actually distress her, she didn’t consider it harassment—though admittedly, her attitude toward the President afterward hadn’t remained quite the same as before.
“Mi Oh may be headstrong, but she’s not a bad person. She probably just wanted to see what kind of person Dae Woon likes.”
Ga Eul simply nodded. It seemed their way of defining a “bad person” was rather unique—perhaps because they spent their lives standing above others.

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.”
