Although her pregnancy had progressed, and her morning sickness had subsided, her belly didn’t protrude enough to feel pregnant.
But he was different. He made sure she didn’t do anything that seemed a bit difficult, and even climbing up and down a few stairs was considered hard, asking her not to move and call him.
Because of that, Dahyun could momentarily forget Soocheol’s presence and smile.
“Mr. Minhyuk, I’m pregnant, not a sick patient. I can move this much.”
“I know. But still, I hope you don’t move much and rest comfortably.”
Dahyun was grateful that Minhyuk cared for her. As she reached out to grab Minhyuk’s wrist, she hesitated when she saw the bundle of documents in his left hand.
“I can’t do that right now. Mr. Minhyuk, there’s something I need to tell you… What’s this?”
Minhyuk, after briefly contemplating whether showing her the document filled with Yusong irregularities was appropriate, raised his hand and handed her the papers.
“List of Yusong slush funds.”
“…Slush funds?”
“Yeah. I was going to show you even if it wasn’t for this. There’s something to discuss.”
Taking the documents, Dahyun slowly scanned through them from the beginning upon hearing Minhyuk’s mention of slush funds.
She didn’t think there were no slush funds, but she didn’t expect them to be embezzled to such an extent. The slush funds had been created a long time ago, and there were quite a few things written in an unreadable language.
You did everything you shouldn’t have.
It wasn’t surprising. It was just that the amount embezzled by Soocheol was too large and overwhelming.
Confirming the irregularities in the slush funds, Dahyun’s grip tightened.
“Mr. Minhyuk, are you going to expose this to the media? But this is a copy.”
“Yeah. The original is separate. I was planning to make this public. But not yet. Even though illegal surveillance by Yusong was exposed to the media, it was buried because of the mother-in-law’s case. It dealt a bit of a blow, but that was it. Judging from that, if we expose Yusong’s slush funds now, it will lead to a prosecution investigation, but it won’t have a significant impact.”
Minhyuk summarized the current situation for Dahyun.
“Before that, I want to ask you. Even if I make this public, will you not hate me? But, Dahyun, this time, I’m going to reveal the true identity of the chairman, even if you tell me not to.”
“…”
“If I think about how you’ve suffered because of me deceiving you, I can’t bear it.”
“Mr. Minhyuk.”
“So, this time, you have to understand. I want to end this.”
After bringing Yunsil along and planning to expose the slush funds, Minhyuk had determined that he needed to reveal to Dahyun that she was not Soocheol’s biological daughter to avoid harming her.
If that became known to everyone, Dahyun would be hurt. First, her intentions needed to be confirmed.
Dahyun handed the documents back to Minhyuk.
Minhyuk’s determination was like her own resolution. He had delayed it, thinking of himself, even though he could have revealed it earlier.
She endured it, thinking of him as her father, even though she hated Soocheol.
Dahyun was conflicted about what to say to Minhyuk, who had patiently endured for her sake.
Minhyuk accepted the documents from Dahyun, waiting for her decision. Standing in front of the study, Dahyun tightly held Minhyuk’s right hand, which was tense.
“It’s not enough with just that.”
“Huh?”
“I want to see that person ruin with my own eyes.”
“What?”
“I want to witness his downfall with these two eyes.”
Minhyuk briefly thought about who ‘that person’ she was talking about might be, and he realized it was Soocheol. His gaze shook.
“Dahyun. You…”
Actually, he expected her to hesitate to expose the slush funds. He didn’t expect her to support him. Dahyun held Minhyuk’s hand, smiling bitterly, and tucked her lower lip inside.
“I saw the USB my father gave me. There was a middle-aged woman I didn’t recognize sitting there.”
Dahyun told Minhyuk what she had seen. Minhyuk’s face gradually hardened, and he became even angrier than her.
“It wasn’t just slush funds.”
“Yes. He lived an extremely ruthless life.”
Looking at the slush fund list Minhyuk showed her, Dahyun clearly realized what kind of life Soocheol had been leading.
“Mr. Minhyuk, I can’t forgive the chairman who made my parents like that. I don’t want to. Can you imagine how devastated my mom must be? Being held captive for over ten years by someone who broke up with the person she loved and tried to kill herself.”
Minhyuk was about to tell Dahyun that he had found Yunsil but held back his impatience. He didn’t want to make her hope for something uncertain.
“I heard what you asked Kim Yoonhee. Actually, I was going to ask her the same thing. Even if I can’t submit it as legal evidence, I can still inform people. Everyone should know how evil the chairman is. To prevent him from even thinking about recovering in the future… Dahyun, just a moment.”
Ziing
Minhyuk’s mobile phone vibrated.
Confirming that the caller was Sihun, Minhyuk answered the call. If Sihun called him, it meant that something was wrong.
Normally, he would have ignored the call when talking to her, but in the current situation, he couldn’t afford to do that.
With a slightly uneasy expression, Minhyuk answered the phone.
“Hello.”
Sihun tearfully informed him of a death.
[Father, he’s gone.]My Arch-enemy Sealed My Memory and Said That He is My Husband
This is an incredibly captivating story that you absolutely shouldn’t miss! I’ll give a brief introduction here, and below you’ll find a detailed synopsis of the plot.
The female lead is a fierce and powerful demon king. The male lead is a once-in-a-millennium celestial lord, admired by the entire cultivation world.
They are equally matched, legendary rivals who have battled for centuries.
In the final duel, the female lead is gravely injured. The male lead saves her, seals her memories, and hides her true identity. He tells her that he is her fiancé. His entire life has been flawless—except for the one thing he never expected, never controlled, and never wanted to control: falling for his greatest enemy. She is his inner demon, his obsession.
When the female lead regains her memories, she is furious at his deception.
She makes his life a living hell.
And somehow, the male lead—possibly a total masochist—doesn’t mind at all. In fact, he’s happy she’s paying attention to him.
Yep, we’re back to my favorite trope: male lead suffering. If you love this kind of story, jump into the pit with me now!!!
Intro
Dong Xia lost her memory.
Her handsome and extremely powerful fiancé Li Qing comforted her: “It’s okay if you can’t remember. I’ll always be with you.”
Everyone thought Dong Xia’s ancestors must have burned incense to get such a perfect fiancé. He was the number one person in the immortal realm, yet he remained chaste and only loved her.
…
The day before marrying her fiancé, Dong Xia finally remembered everything.
She wasn’t suffering from memory loss at all.
Her arch-enemy had made her fake her death, destroyed her cultivation, replaced her memories, and pretended to be her deeply in love fiancé.
No wonder he said, “It’s okay if you can’t remember”!
Dong Xia laughed coldly as she pulled out her long knife: Li Qing, prepare to die 🙂
*
Li Qing, as the supreme being of the immortal realm, was the people’s shining beacon.
The only unknown stain in his life was his affection for Dong Xia, the ruler of the demon realm.
In the final battle of the war between immortals and demons, the sky collapsed and the earth shattered. The ruler of the demon realm was finally slain under the sword of the supreme being of the immortal realm, and everyone in the immortal realm applauded.
The cultivation world lost a ruler of the demon realm.
And in the back mountain of Li Qing’s cave dwelling, he secretly hid away a fiancée.
Notes:
1. The female lead is white on the outside, black on the inside, and the queen of flattery; the male lead repeatedly tests the edge of darkness, a VIP guest at the crematorium.
2. Fantasy cultivation world setting.
