In no time, the heavy shadow on Kang Woo’s face was neatly wiped away.
((()))((()))((()))
Into the VVIP ward of Han Seong University Hospital, Mr. and Mrs. Kang Woo entered. Young Cheon’s wife was guarding by the side of Hyun Suk, who was sleeping while receiving fluids.
“CEO, have you arrived?”
“You must have been working hard. How is mother?”
“She woke up and then fell asleep again a while ago.”
Kang Woo went to the bedside to look at his mother.
“Was there something wrong at home?”
“Well, that…”
Young Cheon’s wife was a woman of few words. Even though she wouldn’t readily speak up, it was clear to see even without hearing. She must have been tormented by Nam Tae over some trivial matter, and my sensitive mother must have been stressed.
Hyun Suk was anemic and had anemia. Her body was weak and she occasionally fainted.
Kang Woo’s complexion, tightly sealed with pursed lips, was somewhat dark.
“You must have had a hard time taking care of her all this time, why don’t you also go and rest? You’ve worked really hard.”
Se Ah comforted Young Cheon’s wife and managed affairs as the head of the household.
“No, it wasn’t hard. I haven’t done much.”
“But what about the caregiver?”
Young Cheon’s wife looked at Kang Woo’s question with a look. His long eyelashes went up angrily in a situation as clear as seeing fire.
“Well, that. The doctor didn’t want to let anyone in. He thought maybe the family affairs could be exposed.”
“I’ll find one.”
Kang Woo found a caregiver with one phone call, then made another call somewhere.
“Director Lee. Where is my father?”
The low, hoarse voice resonated softly. Se Ah was worried that Kang Woo might collide with Nam Tae.
“Mr. Kang Woo.”
When she cautiously approached and called him, Young Cheon’s wife tactfully made way.
Se Ah slightly touched the elbow of Kang Woo who was on the call. The stern gaze of Kang Woo softened for a moment. He gave a signal not to worry one after another. Se Ah dropped her gaze, feeling her cheeks heating up at an inappropriate time.
A few professional remarks were exchanged and soon Kang Woo hung up the phone.
Se Ah held the hand of the sleeping Hyun Suk. Knowing that the delicate Hyun Suk will find out about them living for a year and getting a divorce, how much harder it will be for her.
Time passed in silence and the doctor came for a round. He was the family’s physician.
“It seems you don’t need to worry. The comprehensive examination results from a while ago showed no major symptoms. However, she has become very weak and needs a guardian. As I always say, it could potentially lead to cardiac arrest.”
“Yes.”
After the physician left, a relieved Se Ah lost her balance. Kang Woo’s hand firmly supported her wavering waist.
“You look pale, you seem tired.”
Before she could deny, Kang Woo took Se Ah’s hand and led her. He sat her down on the spacious guardian bed.
“Rest. I’ll take care of mother.”
“No, father will be coming soon. I’m fine.”
Just as Se Ah tried to get up, Kang Woo firmly made her stay. His hand on her shoulder made her conscious, and his deep gaze caught her. The expression he showed in a row was warm like spring.
It was a softness she had never seen before. Seeing Se Ah’s eyes widen, Kang Woo tilted the corner of his mouth.
When she shifted her gaze from him, suddenly the door to the hospital room opened. Through the open door, Nam Tae with his lips tightened and his secretary, Director Lee, appeared.
At the sudden appearance of her fatherinlaw, Se Ah quickly withdrew from Kang Woo’s touch. As she hastily got up and bowed her head, Kang Woo’s gaze was fixed on her.
“I had a dinner meeting with the people from the Blue House.”
Nam Tae’s voice was very calm. Regardless of whether this was the first time Hyun Suk was hospitalized or not, there was no surprise at all. He casually glanced at his wife from a distance, then quickly averted his gaze.
“Being healthy is also a part of selfmanagement.”
Nam Tae lightly licked his lips, as if Hyun Sook’s illness was due to her laziness.
“Mother could not have been negligent in her health management. She exercises more than four times a week, strictly manages her diet, and gets a complete checkup every two months. She had no chance to neglect her health, between my grandfather’s and my father’s interference.”
Kang Woo’s lips twisted as he rebutted each point.
“The intensity of stress responses varies from person to person. Mother is just highly nervous. Doesn’t she try to get along well with Father?”
“My mother isn’t that way.”
“I just stated the facts.”
Nam Tae interrupted Kang Woo’s words with a dry cough.
“Let’s go check on her. You said you’ve arranged a caregiver.”
A snide tone, a smirk on his lips. Nam Tae showed hostility to his son, who was against his will. However, he soon grew tired and slumped on the sofa.
“I will stay here.”
Se Ah took it upon herself to take care of Hyun Sook. It was only fair to return the affection Hyun Sook had given her. A strange smile crept onto Nam Tae’s lips. Feeling the disparity between his sharp eyes and his smile, Se Ah’s hands began to tremble.
“Speaking of which, I do have something to tell you, Se Ah.”
Se Ah clenched her fist tightly. If she hadn’t, her hand would have been shaking. She didn’t want to show her fear and humiliation to Nam Tae.
“We can talk about it later.”
Kang Woo interrupted Nam Tae, noticing Se Ah’s complexion.
“You’re sweating. Are you sick?”
“Just a bit hot.”
The stray hair on her forehead was damp with sweat. Kang Woo reached out and touched Se Ah’s forehead. Realizing Nam Tae’s snakelike gaze, Se Ah grabbed Kang Woo’s fingers and pushed them away.
“Father, I’ll step out for a moment.”
“Alright.”
Nam Tae allowed it with a rather genial voice. Left alone with his son, Nam Tae looked at him intently.
“Sit down. I have something to say to you.”
After university, Nam Tae changed his attitude towards Kang Woo. Even when he was given the ultimatum that there would be no support if he didn’t study abroad, Kang Woo didn’t care.
He hadn’t spent a penny of the family money to get to where he was now. It wasn’t easy to handle, even if he was his son.
“It’s about GComs. I’ve developed a friendship with the president.”
Nam Tae spoke to the standing Kang Woo. Nam Tae had a knack for hooking onto what people wanted, and what they feared.
Seizing an opportunity when Kang Woo showed interest, Nam Tae winked at the president. His footsteps soundlessly disappeared.
Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
