Dahyun was doing her best to prevent harm to Yeonsil. As long as Minhyuk, who knew this well, didn’t want to stand at the crossroads of divorce with Dahyun again, he wouldn’t let her do something she didn’t want.
“But Dad…”
“I told you to get out! Why don’t you understand anything I say? If you hadn’t said useless things earlier, it wouldn’t have become a mess!”
Su Cheol’s shoulders shook violently. Jiyeon, angry at Su Cheol’s attitude, who was sure that she wasn’t Han Dahyun, bit her lower lip until blood oozed out.
“Dad, is everything my fault?”
Originally, when Jiyeon was upset, it was routine for Su Cheol to comfort her. Su Cheol was the one who mostly fulfilled Jiyeon’s wishes.
But not now.
Even though Su Cheol knew Jiyeon was trying to throw a tantrum, he sighed heavily, looking embarrassed.
“Jiyeon, when will you come to your senses?”
Jiyeon lost her composure due to Su Cheol’s sigh. There had never been a time when Su Cheol sighed in disappointment at Jiyeon.
Jiyeon felt uncomfortable because Su Cheol was treating her the same way he treated Dahyun.
Honestly, wasn’t it because of Su Cheol that the article was exposed?
If Su Cheol had told Dahyun to do it when Dahyun wanted to take Yeonsil, this kind of article wouldn’t have come out. No, in the first place, it was a mistake for Su Cheol to take Yeonsil.
“If Dad hadn’t taken Dahyun’s mom, such a scandal wouldn’t have happened!”
Jiyeon didn’t want to look at Su Cheol’s face anymore, so she turned and left the study.
With a loud bang, Su Cheol heard the sound of the door closing.
Really, how could he be like this even though he lacked charm?
Su Cheol looked down absentmindedly at the broken screen of the mobile phone and picked up another phone lying on the desk.
He would find the initial informant and make them pay for their actions.
He would teach them clearly who dared to touch someone and prevent them from acting properly.
Su Cheol went into the phone contacts and searched for ‘President Yoo’ at Hanhap Ilbo. Since an article was also published in Hanhap Ilbo, they might be able to find out who the initial informant was.
Just as Su Cheol’s finger was about to press the call button, the screen of the mobile phone changed, and Su Cheol’s finger paused.
[HG Kang Chairman]It was Changjeong.
Su Cheol frowned, contemplating whether to answer the call or not. They were not in a close relationship where they frequently contacted each other. It was a relationship formed through a strategic marriage.
The reason Changjeong called was undoubtedly due to the recent article.
If he didn’t answer the call, Changjeong would undoubtedly notice that he was intentionally avoiding it.
“Damn.”
Su Cheol had no choice but to answer Changjeong’s persistent call.
After calming his excited voice, he brought the mobile phone to his ear.
“Chairman Kang! How have you been? Thank you for contacting me so readily. I’m sorry. I should have visited once and inquired about your well-being, but I’ve been busy with work and couldn’t do so.”
He softened his voice to an extreme degree, and it was nauseatingly sycophantic. Su Cheol spoke more slowly than usual. He asked about Changjeong’s health, expressing concern.
However, such efforts from Su Cheol received a dry response.
[Saw the article.]Certainly, the reason for Changjeong’s call was because of the article. Damn it! The artificial intelligence announcement is just a few days away. If this continues, I might have to exclude Yoo Song from the artificial intelligence project. It’s not the right time yet.
“Nevertheless, I am looking for the original source of that article. It was such a ridiculous article that it didn’t even make me laugh. I apologize for making you worry. Hehe. By the way, I wonder if you’ve heard the news. Dahyun is pregnant…”
Su Cheol tried to shift the topic to reassure Changjeong. The old man’s ears must still be sharp. He called promptly, as if he had been waiting.
Su Cheol planned to inform Changjeong about Dahyun’s pregnancy and subtly seek his help.
[No need to find the original source.]However, contrary to Su Cheol’s expectations, Changjeong’s response was unexpected, burying Dahyun’s pregnancy.
“What?”
Su Cheol blinked, trying to understand what Changjeong was saying.
What is this old man talking about?
[I’m saying there’s no need to find the original source.]Su Cheol tried to grasp Changjeong’s intentions, but as he was contemplating, he slapped his thigh with his palm.
Ah, he’s actively stepping in because he’s a father-in-law.
In that case, I should pretend not to understand on purpose.
Changjeong’s direct involvement meant concluding the matter. Although he had become more tolerant with age, in his youth, Changjeong was as ruthless in matters of business as he was famous for.
“Chairman, even if it’s not true, if an article spreads so rapidly in such a short time…”
Su Cheol chuckled, thinking that the situation would resolve more easily than he had anticipated.
[I instructed you to spread it.]“…What?”
Su Cheol’s smirk disappeared in an instant.
What is this again?
In a sudden twist, Su Cheol foolishly failed to understand what Changjeong was saying.
Changjeong is the one who spread it?
[Did you think no one would know what you did to Yeonsil?]“…”
[Don’t see the world so simply.]How does he know?
Since when did he know?
If he knew, why did he let it slide until now?
Su Cheol’s mind was filled with question marks.
Instead of admitting it readily, Su Cheol chose to remain silent. Even though Changjeong himself told Su Cheol that he was the original informant, Su Cheol couldn’t believe it.
“Chairman, I mean, Father-in-law. I really don’t understand what you’re talking about.”
Changjeong, thinking Su Cheol would feign ignorance, laughed as if he found it amusing. Su Cheol kept his mouth shut.
Following the laughter, Changjeong’s chilly voice pierced Su Cheol’s eardrums.
[Now is the time to reveal the truth.]Thud. Changjeong said what he had to and ended the call.
Why did Changjeong call Yeonsil affectionately? How do the two of them know each other?
One thing was certain: Changjeong knew about what Su Cheol had done.
Even after the call ended, Su Cheol held the mobile phone to his ear, unable to move.
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.
