You And I Live In Different Worlds (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 97
Of all times, it had to be when all the customers had left and business was slow—there was no way to avoid him.
Melie wanted to meet him briefly and send him off quickly.
“One hour is too much. Customers might come in…”
“Then I’ll rent the place until they arrive.”
“…”
It seemed wrong to use customers as an excuse. She had a strange feeling about it.
As if no one would come in from now on.
“Please sit down.”
With a sigh of resignation, Melie said. He then naturally went to his usual seat and sat down.
Melie brought tea she had prepared herself. Worried he might once again insist on making her tea, she made her own this time.
“How’s business?”
“Thanks to you.”
Melie replied while watching his expression closely.
She had always wondered—if this sudden stroke of luck was all his doing.
But in the way he sipped his tea, she found no trace suggesting he had anything to do with it.
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.”

When you find out what she did to you, you will wish she were dead.
Regardless of the reason, it felt far too harsh.
Cruelty? Believe me, you don’t know true cruelty yet.
"Take all the time you need, Melie. Think calmly."
