“Who’s there?”
“…No. My throat is dry.”
As if to reassure Jae-in, who whispered quietly with an anxious heart, Tae-seo closed his eyes, smiled, and lightly kissed Jae-in’s forehead. However, that didn’t mean he lowered his guard.
He had already received reports about the vehicles circling around from the security personnel he had placed in double. Through the security personnel stationed both outside Jungyeon-dong and his house, he was aware that they were keeping an eye on Jae-in.
To uncover whether the mastermind is Jo Dae-hoon or Jung Jae-hoon, or someone else entirely, he was just observing for now, preparing to deal with it decisively.
However, the unpleasant lingering gaze made it necessary to warn them that I was aware of their existence.
“Even with double security, are you still concerned?”
“Well…”
In fact, even with double security personnel, my mind wasn’t at ease, so I contracted with two different companies. The employees of each company were conscious of each other and thus maintained vigilance, preventing the tension from easing.
All reports arrived in real-time to Tae-seo. However, even so, my mind didn’t ease. It was the task of protecting Yoon Jae-in, and there was no moment to let down my guard.
“Don’t worry. I’ll never go out alone.”
“Don’t open the door for just anyone.”
“Even for deliveries, Tae-seo receives them. What about delivery food?”
Tae-seo, who was watching Jae-in speak casually, lowered his gaze as if feeling sorry.
“Isn’t it suffocating to stay at home?”
“I’m naturally a homebody, so it’s okay. Moreover, I go out with Tae-seo like this two or three times a day.”
“Still…”
“I’m fine with it. And why is Tae-seo looking like that when it’s not something to feel sorry for? Besides, you have to endure this level of discomfort.”
Seeing Jae-in speak so straightforwardly, Tae-seo’s eyes softened.
“I won’t let you endure more significant discomfort.”
In order to do that, Tae-seo’s eyes seemed to say he would do anything. Smiling, Jae-in nodded in agreement.
Tae-seo grabbed Jae-in’s shoulders, hugged her close to me, and resumed walking. Before looking ahead, he glanced once more at the distant obscure car.
“By the way, is there any problem with securing shares? I heard you talking earlier.”
“Well, Jo Dae-hoon’s shareholding is significant. So, it won’t be easy to force him out of his position right away. It would be good if we could just find out the whereabouts of the missing 5.8 percent of the stocks, but it’s untraceable.”
“Well…”
When Tae-seo explained the directions of the planned revenge to Jae-in, she asked about what to do with Hyeonyang Construction after bringing down Dae-hoon.
“As for dismantling a company, the employees of Hyeonyang Construction are innocent. So, we’ll choose an appropriate person and install them as the new representative.”
“But isn’t it owned by Tae-seo?”
“Well…”
“What does Mr. Tae-seo gain? Other than taking over the construction project that Hyeonyang Construction was planning to proceed with from Kangseon Construction. No matter how much I initiate this for me, how much credit can Mr. Tae-seo take? Don’t make such sacrifices.”
In truth, as long as Tae-seo stayed by Jae-in’s side, there was nothing more to wish for.
However, it was a fact that a considerable amount of funds were needed to bring down Jo Dae-hoon. Since Tae-seo’s money alone was insufficient, he recently involved Amber’s parents as well.
Of course, Amber, who had looked into Hyeonyang Construction, was the one who first stepped forward to involve her parents’ money. And that investment would undoubtedly result in greater profits. In other words, this event would not be a loss for Tae-seo either.
However, after a silent contemplation, he cautiously asked Jae-in.
“How about Ms. Jae-in?”
“I don’t want it either. I don’t want to touch anything related to Hyeonyang Construction.”
“Then…”
After the conversation, Tae-seo hinted at the direction of merging Hyeonyang Construction into Kangseon Construction after appointing a new representative.
Although he didn’t want to admit it, there was a desire to be acknowledged by his biological father, Kang Shin-jae, in the background of his decision.
He had returned to Korea pretending to be unable to overcome the power of his stepmother after living well in the United States. It was so ironic that he, who had endured for so long, was still seeking his father’s gaze.
“By the way, have you heard anything about stocks? Even from your mom.”
About two years after the disappearance of the stocks and the death of Chairman Jo Sung-hwan, he met with Yoon Se-na. Since Chairman Jo seemed to favor Yoon Se-na, he might have given her something before she left for the United States while pregnant with his granddaughter.
“No. Not at all. If there were such things, my mom would have sold them to cover hospital bills when she was sick.”
Jae-in, who knew nothing about her grandfather, shook her head firmly. To raise money for her unconscious mom’s hospital bills, she chose to come to Korea. As a result, Jae-in became an orphan.
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.
