“Why on earth is Jo Yuri in Yeonryudong?”
Taeseo, who spent sweet time with Jaein, contacted Director Jang belatedly. When she woke up from a short nap and checked the message, it felt like someone had poured cold water on her head. So she left Jaein, who was still sleeping, and went to the house where Ted was staying.
“I haven’t confirmed that yet.”
For the past few days, there were reports that Jo Yuri had been loitering around Kangsun Electronics. Taeseo was aware of this information. Who could Jo Yuri meet at Kangsun Electronics? Taeseo had considered various possibilities.
Ted thought that Jo Yuri might have said, “Let’s go see Kang Taeseo,” even though he knew he couldn’t meet him even if he went to Kangsun Construction. Amber, who couldn’t muster the courage to go to Yeonryudong’s main house, also gained strength from Ted’s words.
But Director Jang had a different thought.
“Could it be that Jo Yuri, cornered, went to meet Chairman Kang Shinjae to ask for help?”
At that statement, not only Taeseo but also Amber and Ted, who were well aware of Chairman Kang Shinjae’s personality, burst into laughter. It was a reaction to an absurd statement.
“There is a saying that if you see a place to lie down in Korea, you should stretch your feet. Jo Yuri may go as she pleases, but she won’t go to Kangsun Group Chairman to ask for help without a second thought.”
“But Jo Yuri probably feels like catching at least a straw now. Couldn’t she at least try? Moreover, her attachment to Director Bonbu seems to be still strong.”
“If Director Jang’s words are correct, it’s actually a good thing.”
“Yes…?”
“Chairman Kang Shinjae not only won’t meet her just because she asks, but even if he does, he won’t bat an eye at her request for help.”
Chairman Kang Shinjae was a person who had no interest in others. He was indifferent to the pain and sorrow of others. So, if Jo Yuri really went to meet Chairman Kang Shinjae, pleaded for help, her appearance alone would have looked ridiculous.
But why did Jo Yuri, who caused a scene on the first floor of Kangsun Electronics this morning, go to the chairman’s office with Kang Shinjae today? Taeseo couldn’t understand.
The Kang Shinjae she knew wouldn’t pay attention to an outsider causing a fuss for no reason.
The lower-ranking people who knew the chairman’s personality should have dragged her out. But the fact that they didn’t meant that Kang Shinjae had stepped forward and led Jo Yuri to the chairman’s office.
“I know that Manager Im Hong-jin is currently on a business trip related to the Jeju Art Center.”
“That means his house is empty…”
“Yes, it seems that Manager Im Hong-jin is unaware of this matter.”
In addition, as soon as Jo Yuri left Kangsun Electronics alone, she checked out after picking up her luggage from the hotel where she had been staying. Waiting outside the hotel was a corporate vehicle belonging to Kangsun Electronics, and the car that carried Jo Yuri headed for Yeonryudong’s main house.
Since then, three more hours have passed. Jo Yuri is still confirmed to be staying alone at the main house in Yeonryudong.
“Taeseo, this is just a hypothetical, but could Jo Yuri become your stepmother?”
{Amber, stop watching Korean dramas.}
{No, there’s not zero possibility of that happening. Listen. Chairman Kang Shinjae has fallen for Jo Yuri. It’s not my taste, but people say Jo Yuri is pretty. She has a style that Korean men like, like a small, cute rabbit.}
{Is having a rabbit-like personality that bad?}
{Rabbit personalities are originally bad. Of course, Jo Yuri is the top among them.}
Quick-witted Ted understood Amber’s words through her keen perception and specific words, leading to a clash between Ted and Amber. Taeseo, lost in thought, firmly pressed his temples.
{Has your headache gotten worse? Wasn’t it said to be neural? From my point of view, it’s not neurological. The cause of your headache is only one. Chairman Kang Shinjae. Without that person, Taeseo has nothing to worry about.}
“…….”
“Anyway, did you hear what I said? If Jo Yuri really becomes your stepmother…, I said ‘if.’ Why are you glaring at me like that?”
“It sounds like something worth listening to.”
Just as Taeseo, with a single glance, silenced Amber’s incredible imagination, his hand reached towards the bottled water on the table. At that moment, one of the several phones on the table vibrated for a long time.
It was Taeseo’s work phone. Director Jang, who was nearby, checked the screen and urgently handed the phone to Taeseo.
“It’s the chairman.”
With his skull throbbing with a pain as if it were being tightly squeezed, Taeseo reluctantly accepted the phone, suppressing his nausea. Watching the three people discreetly leave the room, he, who was leaning against the sofa, closed his eyes.
“Yes, Chairman.”
The narrow space between Taeseo’s eyebrows narrowed as he recalled the cold gaze of Kang Shinjae, who looked just like him.
I told you to reflect on the mess you made, but you keep making unnecessary trouble.

Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
